What was your styling inspiration or wedding day vibe you were going for? What inspired you to choose this?

We were going for a mixture of a romantic fairytale and garden party vibe. We chose this theme because I always pictured having a romantic fairytale and/or garden party for my future wedding and Glen just went along with it.

Tell us about a special memory from your wedding day, something that will always stand out in your mind ❤️

A special memory from our wedding day was when we performed our first dance. We choreographed it and had been practicing our first dance for months before our wedding. We even practiced it the night before until 11pm because we were so nervous about messing up. On our wedding day, we performed our first dance perfectly until the very end where I almost had a wardrobe malfunction and changed the ending but it became a very special and funny memory for us.

What do you admire most about your new spouse?

His kindness and patience.

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!

A tip to future brides: if you have a lot of DIY decor and want pictures of it, ask your groomsmen to set it up early during the day! Our venue said the reception space would be all set up during cocktail hour, but it wasn’t done until the last minute, so our photographer didn’t get to take pictures of the finished reception space sadly.

What was your experience like with Adore Bridal?

My experience with Adore Bridal was amazing from start to finish. One of the standout features was the style call before my appointment, which helped the stylist understand the kind of dress I was looking for. I also appreciated being sent pictures of various dresses beforehand, which allowed the stylist to gauge my preferences and refine the selection. After providing my initial feedback, I was thrilled to receive a picture of the next dress—they nailed it, and it ended up being the dress I said yes to!

The preparation materials, including a helpful video and checklist, ensured I was ready for my appointment. When I arrived, Kelsey made the entire experience incredible. She was attentive and considerate, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Her kindness and professionalism made me feel like a princess.

Another highlight was the second room Kelsey brought me to, which showed what my dress would look like at different times of the day. It added an extra layer of excitement and helped me visualize my special day.

My experience continued to be wonderful even after choosing my dress. From picking up my dress to coming back for an accessories appointment, each interaction with the team made me feel on top of the world. The consistent care and attention from the staff made every visit special.

I'm so happy I got my dress at Adore Bridal and will be telling all my friends and family about this fantastic experience. They truly made me feel like a princess every step of the way.
