The Bride’s Perspective 

Describe your wedding vision 

With our wedding just before Christmas, in the middle of December, we dreamed of having a romantic winter wedding – an intimate, cozy, yet fun atmosphere for our guests to relax and enjoy all evening. We envisioned dim uplighting, candles and greenery, our favorite Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald songs playing in the background, and an overall warm ambiance. 

Describe your wedding day 

Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect! It was everything we dreamed of, despite months of constant changes, high stress, and unknowns due to the pandemic. Surrounded by our closest family and friends, we had the most love-filled, fun, and blessed day becoming husband and wife. From start to finish, there wasn’t a minute we didn’t feel overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude for each other, and the people who made our day so special.  

Your advice to engaged couples 

Remember that your love and soon-to-be marriage is what it’s all about! Don’t let the stress of signature drinks, wedding favors, and seating charts take away from the one-of-a-kind excitement and anticipation you should soak up while planning your big (or small!) day! While your wedding day is the most special day of your life, and the food, cake, DJ, and dance floor are extremely important, it’s forever that really matters.
