What was your styling inspiration or wedding day vibe you were going for? What inspired you to choose this?
For our wedding day, I wanted to create a beautiful blend of both my husband's rustic, farm-inspired style and my love for modern, minimalist aesthetics. His style, with its emphasis on natural wood, earthy tones, and a rustic vibe, perfectly complemented my vision of a modern love story with subtle, sophisticated elements. I chose sage green as a nod to nature, grounding the design in a soft, serene color that felt timeless yet fresh. By mixing these styles, we were able to celebrate both of our personalities and create an environment that felt both cozy and elevated, reflecting who we are individually and as a couple. The result was a wedding that was both intimate and elegant, with touches of natural beauty and modern charm.
Tell us about a special memory from your wedding day, something that will always stand out in your mind ❤️
One of the most special memories from our wedding day was the moment I saw my husband for the first time as I walked down the aisle. Seeing the pure joy and excitement on his face, along with the tears in his eyes, was absolutely unforgettable. It was such an emotional moment for both of us, and I could feel the love and anticipation in the air. It was the perfect reflection of everything we had been through together and all the love we were about to share for the rest of our lives. That moment will forever be etched in my heart.
What do you admire most about your new spouse?
His selflessness and love for others. He will always help someone no matter what. He ensures others are taken care of before himself. He is such a hard worker with a big heart.
Is there anything else you want people to know about your love story? A fun proposal, something crazy that happened on your wedding day, a sentimental memory or even wedding planning tips for future brides!
I got proposed to at my white coat ceremony! That day holds a special place as I gained my white coat and a husband! Made the day extremely special surrounded by our closest family and friends.
What was your experience like with Adore Bridal?
Finding that perfect dress for your big day can be extremely challenging and very stressful. However, Adore took all of that negativity away. Everyone is very professional, extremely friendly, and willing to answer any questions I have. I had my appointment with Abby and she was absolutely amazing. She got my vision right away and found the most gorgeous dress - which I ended up saying yes to!
She pushed me out of my comfort zone to ensure that I found the right one. Abby made me feel absolutely beautiful and confident. I could not be more pleased with my Adore dress appointment. The veil and jewelry selections are incredible. After I said yes to the dress, they held a jewelry event where I found my accessories - it was such a fun evening! I highly recommend this bridal shop and my stylist, Abby! Thank you for everything!
