Married on April 27th, 2019

KJ Bride Alex with her new husband, Karl

“My absolute favorite part was honestly seeing my husband for the first time during our first look. The first look was a moment that we got to spend together, just the two of us. One of the only moments the whole day. We got to stop, take in everything, and just be so happy with each other.”

the inspiration

“We got married at Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe on top of the mountain. I didn't want to take away from the natural beauty that we were surrounded by so I decided that I wanted it to be very elegant, timeless, and and have all neutral colors. I stayed off of Pinterest as much as possible so it would be what I wanted and not trying to copy what I saw. The whole day, decorations, and my vision came out better than I could have ever imagined!”

advice from the bride

“Hmmm, the best advice that I got and the advice that I would give is to stop and take it all in. The day goes by so fast and it is easy to miss all of the small moments. Make sure to actually spend time with your significant other. The day is about the two of you and you want to spend it together! Don't stress about the little things and remember what the day is truly about! Oh! And late night pizza is a must! :)”

How did you handle the stressful moments?

“Laughed and joked my way through the stressful moments. That might not be how everyone handles stress, but I always took a step back and tried to see if it was something really worth stressing about. Usually it wasn't and something 100% out of my control”

Bride is wearing an Angel Rivera gown from Kinsley James Couture Bridal.

cheers to forever!
