the dress
HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WEDDING DRESS?
“It was a total surprise! I had been to three other salons before arriving at Kinsley James Couture Bridal. I came in for an appointment with Maxine and had my heart set on the fit and flare style. Maxine, being the expert stylist she is, put me in an a-line gown and as we put on dress after dress, the a-line style completely won me over. Maxine then brought out the "Wellesley" by Anne Barge, and in that moment, I knew it was the one.”
“The "Wellesley" dress made me feel like a bride. I also just loved the little details and the intricacies of the design -- the placement of the lace, the horsehair layered skirt -- just everything about it won me over. The more time I wore it, the more I didn't want to take it off. It's funny because just a few weeks ago, I found the "Wellesley" dress saved in my Instagram "Favorites" from a few years ago, and it's kind of like it was fate.”
“My favorite part of my wedding was the moment I got to spend with my new husband after the ceremony and before the reception. We had just gotten done taking our photos, and we spent about ten minutes by ourselves, just talking and basking in this overwhelming happiness that overcame us. Even with all the great moments throughout the day, that moment will always hold a special place in my heart. It was just us two, and it reminded me of the roots of our relationship, and made me excited for our future.”
Where did your inspiration for your wedding come from?
“I've always been a fan of a mixed material aesthetic, and that really showed through when choosing the color theme and details for our wedding. A lot of that inspiration was brought to life through things I found on Pinterest and wedding blogs that I followed. For our reception, I sketched out the layout of what I wanted the space to look like, which ended up being wooden cabanas, draped in blush fabrics, elevated with string bulb patio lights for mood lighting. We then added in copper accents for a lot of the day of signage (table number holders, seating chart, welcome banner), and other wooden accents (signs, chairs and name cards). Our color theme of blush tones, ivories, and green foliage brought together the look and feel.”
