The best part of the venue: “The massive back yard!”

Why did you pick your venue: “It was the perfect place for our wedding, we were able to house our whole wedding party inside. Then have the ceremony and reception in the massive wildflower filled back yard.”

Favorite part of your gown: “I spent a lot of time thinking of a dress but I couldn’t find the one I saw in my head, until my stylist, Holly, put me in this one. The dress was absolutely perfect, from the neckline and the back to the light weight tulle skirt. The little lace florals were my favorite part!”

Why did you pick your dress: “I knew it was perfect as soon as I put it on, I didn’t even have to see it on me before knowing it was perfect. It fit perfectly, and made my dreams come alive.”

Three words to describe your day: “Elegant, unforgettable, party!”

Your inspiration for the wedding: “Elegant, timeless, neutrals.”

How you met: “We met in high school and started dating our sophomore year.”

How they proposed: “On a trip to Colorado to visit family, we had a day to ourselves and went to hike around the Garden of the Gods national park, once we got away from the crowds he got on one knee and popped the question. It was perfect!”

Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “It was forecasted to rain all day, guests and family even said it was pouring down in anchorage. But it was beautiful and sunny in Wasilla for the whole ceremony and reception. After all the guests had left it started to rain and the wedding party joined us to dance in the rain. It was the perfect way to end the night! I was also able to fit my little sister under the skirt of my dress with a Smirnoff ice. So that when Logan kneeled down to remove my garter, my sister popped out and iced him. It had everyone laughing and it was an unforgettable moment!”
