Favorite part of your gown: “I felt like a queen, I looked strong and beautiful. It was bold, elegant, and special. Simply special.”

The best part of the venue: “Gorgeous snowy mountain views.”

Why did you pick your venue: “One lovely place for people to ski, snowboard, and visit the spa for our wedding weekend! We love Girdwood.”

Three words to describe your day: “Love & Festive & Glamour!”

Inspiration for the day: “Moody and romantic, a pinch of Morticia Adams, a heavy dose of Great Gatsby, a dash of Noir, a smattering of Ethereal, and a healthy pour of Glamour.”

How they proposed: “Elliot proposed at our home, in our kitchen, with our perfect dog as our witness.”

Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “Dancing to "can't take my eyes off of you" for our grand exit, what a magical party it was!”
