the bride
The dress - Finlay by Blue Willow | Anne Barge
The dress shopping process -
“My stylist, Alexia, made the process so comfortable, fun, and easy! Her confidence eased my nervousness for the experience. One of the first dresses I tried on was the Anne Barge dress which Alexia gave me the option of a blush color. I was not sure when I first saw it but when I put on the dress, I fell in love with it immediately! I knew it was the one. I tried on a few others but none felt as great as the one!"
”My grandmother is a major role model in my life and I definitely wanted to include her in my decision. After that day with my first trying on, I just could not stop thinking about that dress, I wanted to come back later with my grandma to try the dress on again. In that moment of trying the dress on with my grandmother present solidified my decision that this dress was perfect for me!”
the groom
He’s “The one”
“When we first started dating, it felt like we had known each other for many years. We have been there for eachother through so many hard times and we bring out the best in one another. I knew he was the one for me because we can always be unapologetically ourselves at all times which makes navigating life that much better.”

mr & mrs!
“Enjoy the moments as it goes by EXTREMELY fast. This is about you and your future husband’s day so make sure you do whatever will make you the happiest on that day. Also, make sure to invest in a great photographer and videographer as those will be your memories.”

the inspiration
“I knew we were going to get married at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Oakland, however I always wanted a garden wedding with lots of flowers and neutral colors. We had a big blank canvas to work with and had to bring in all decorations. We brought in everything we could to make the space feel like we were in an outdoor garden. Our florist and decorator brought my vision to life with the amazing details. The hanging floral arrangement over the dance floor was stunning.”
“My husband wanted pie at our wedding as he was not a big cake fan. My Greek mother could not just do ONLY pie so she created the most gorgeous dessert bar with the pie included!”
