All about your gown! I was in search on a laced sleeve ballgown to go with my rustic glam theme. Everyone kept telling me, “You’re not going to like what you think.” But I ended up falling in love with the exact dress I envisioned, the Hayley Paige Elysia Gown. It could not of fit the theme more perfectly, and the second I put it on and the stylist tightened me up, I just knew that that was the dress I wanted to marry my best friend in. It was everything I ever dreamed of, and the veil that they paired with it just made the moment so magical.
What was your favorite moment? Our favorite moment was our “fake” sparkler exit. Our photographer advised that we do a fake exit and invite all of our friends and family to take part. We handed out sparklers and ran through them as everyone cheered us on. It felt so magical, I remember looking around and feeling relieved that the day was everything I ever dreamed of and that I was able to share this moment with my lifelong best friend, soul mate and finally husband!
One detail you couldn’t live without? We definitely couldn’t of lived without my beautiful bouquet. Twisted Willow Flowers did an amazing job bringing my vision to life and my bouquet was nothing short perfect! It may not seem like a big detail, but it really bought many of our pictures to life. Whether I was holding it, Paul was holding it, or it was sitting in the background of a picture, it truly brought everything together!
Did anything go wrong? One thing went wrong, but if no one ever told me, I would have never known! Paul actually had the wrong tux pants on and I didn’t even notice!
First dance song? Our first dance song was In The Name of Love by Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha. Paul and I aren’t the traditional couple, we wanted to do something a little more fun and more us and this song could not of been more perfect. We created a little routine a few weeks prior to the wedding that we practiced over and over again, and thankfully executed perfectly!
Any advice for future brides? My advice for other brides is live in the moment, don’t rush the months leading up to the big day, enjoy all the details of planning such as the cake tasting and hair and makeup trials. Each moment is so special and I feel like sometimes brides forget that.
Honeymoon Location We held off our honeymoon until this summer but are going to tour the Amalfi Coast, Athens, Mykonos and Santorini.
