The proposal

From the bride: Our proposal was a magical day. I had worked all day and when I got home, Stephen said to get dressed for a night out and dinner we have reservations at 5:00. So I quickly changed and out the door, we went. About five minutes into our drive he had mentioned he forgot his wallet so he had to turn around and go back home. On our way back home he took a different road and pulled off and parked. Where he parked was next to a hill that every time we drove past it I always said that would be such a pretty place to watch the sunset and drink a bottle of wine.

He said surprise this is our date night I have packed some wine and made dinner we are going to watch the sunset. About an hour into our evening he asked to stand up to take a selfie and when I turned to show him he was down on one knew confession his love to me and asking for my hand in marriage. It was absolutely perfect. He also had a photographer hiding in the bushes for our whole date capturing pictures of us just enjoying life and of course the best picture ever which was the proposal. It was a fairytale to me and that’s all that matters.

Finding the perfect Martina Liana wedding dress

I wanted to look unique on my wedding day. I wanted to stand out and I wanted to wear something out of the ordinary. I’ve always dressed differently than most and always rocked my own style so that was very important to me on my wedding day. I didn’t want to look like every other girl and I definitely didn’t!! My shopping experience was amazing. I walked in I picked out five dresses and then showed the 870 off my Pinterest page. She had it in stock. 870 was the first one I tried on and I didn’t want to take it off. I, of course, had to because my mom wanted me to make sure it was it but when we got back to the first one it was “the one”. I was in awe of all the talent and elegant creativity put into the dress. I knew it was the one and only like it and it had to be mine!

The wedding details

Our wedding was rustic but elegant. When we walked into the venue, the first venue we went to look at might I add, it was over. We put down the deposit and never looked back. It had beautiful outdoor scenic views, outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. Also inside it had the most beautiful wood details, wood floor fireplace and breathtaking vaulted ceilings with chandeliers. It was straight out of a magazine and right away I saw all my dreams come alive! I worked hard to make sure all the little details came together. Tons of DIY late nights working on everything to make sure it was just right. Our wedding colors were sage green, gold, and white.

The groomsmen wore navy blue suits with sage ties and the bridesmaids wore sage green dresses. Everything came together perfectly and the room was filled with love laughter and of course tons of eucalyptus. This wedding was personal to us because the venue is a blank page and you add all your personal touches to it and we did just that!

My favorite memory from my wedding day was the minute my husband turned around in our first look and was absolutely speechless. He had no words for a good five minutes and after that, it was just Wow wow wow you look so incredibly amazing. I loved feeling unique not only myself but to him too.
