All about your gown! The Maggie Sottero Lisette Dress was a dress MADE for a princess and I sure did feel like one from the second I put it on. I had originally gone dress shopping with an all lace, fitted dress in mind and then saw my dress and knew it was the one. This one had a beautiful high neck illusion v-neckline with fully embellished bodice and button down back, the skirt was a-line full taffeta! I did end up getting a more fitted Jenny Yoo dress (the Paige dress) to put on halfway through our reception as my ‘party dress’ – it featured gorgeous beaded, a flattering v neckline and thin straps that criss cross to an open back.
What was your favorite moment? The look on Chris’s face when I walked down the aisle since we had not seen each other ALL DAY! We decided against a first look because we really wanted to capture that raw emotion in the church, it was so special and I wouldn’t change that moment for the world.
One detail you couldn’t live without? I don’t think there is a single thing I would have changed….not even joking!! It was a perfect day and night from start to finish and I don’t think there was a single thing I would do differently.
Did anything go wrong? One of my bridesmaids lost a bouquet but that’s the worst thing that happened all day!
First dance song? Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton
Any advice for future brides? 1) Make sure to practice walking down the aisle…I held my flowers WAY too high and no one could see the top of my dress- I was nervous but I wish I had done it differently!
2) Take a LOT of deep breaths, everything works out and you only get one night so enjoy every second
3) Never stop smiling…remember, the photographer and videographer are capturing everything!!!
4) Make sure you feel comfortable in your dress to dance the night away, 6 weeks before I ended up buying a second dress because my first dress was SUCH a big skirt when it was bustled and I knew I wouldn’t be able to dance all night with that on!
5) Have a couple glasses of champagne to calm the nerves, it helps !
Honeymoon Location We went to Sandals Grenada and had the most incredible penthouse infinity pool suite….wouldn’t change a thing!
