Favorite part of your gown: “I loved the body and movement that the gown had, all of the soft tulle, and the secret layer of sparkle! It was a real life princess cupcake dress!”

Why did you pick your dress: “I saw all of the tulle hanging from the hanger and KNEW that it was the one. It was the third dress I tried on and I REALLY KNEW that was the one once I had it on! Kelsey and Tara were so patient with me while trying on what felt like every dress in the story. I just kept going back to this dress! I felt beautiful and sexy, and that was even before Celeste REALLY made it my own with the additional layer of glitter tulle!!”

Three words to describe your day: “Elegant, dreamy, radiant!!”

Your inspiration for the wedding: “Moody glam”

How you met: “Jake was helping our friend clean up after his First Friday event, when he asked her if she had any single friends! A goofy video of him dead lifting a keg… led to a text… and then to a first date… the rest is history!”

Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “We always wanted a winter wedding with snow and flurries, hence a January wedding, jokes on us it was 45 degrees and raining on wedding day! (They do say it is good luck to rain on your wedding day right 😉)”
