A summer of friendship, an unexpectedly romantic dinner and a movie called What If<\/em> marked the beginning of Real Martina Liana Bride Melissa and Adam\u2019s love story. After a proposal in Hudson, New York, the couple returned to their special place for a fall wedding filled with personal touches, from cocktails named after their three cats to a pajama after-party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melissa always imagined looking like a princess<\/a> on her wedding day, and Martina Liana Style 1715<\/a> brought that vision to life. She fell in love with its pearl details during her first bridal shopping trip at Kleinfeld Bridal, with her mom, best friend and cousin there to share the moment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MELISSA, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adam and I met at work! He was originally in our company\u2019s Connecticut office, and I was in New York. We started getting to know each other through software engineering extracurriculars, including new hire training and internship programs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, Adam moved to New York. We spent a whole summer being the best of friends before it turned into something more. One night, we went on a \u201cjust friends\u201d dinner date that turned out to be more romantic and candlelit than either of us expected. Afterward, we went to his place for a movie night and picked What If<\/em>, a movie about two friends wondering what would happen if they started dating. The rest is history!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our story officially began in August 2019, grew stronger through the pandemic and three years living together in DUMBO, and is now at home in Chatham, New Jersey. <\/p>\n\n\n

WHAT WAS YOUR PROPOSAL LIKE?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We got engaged in Hudson, New York, in June 2023. Hudson was already special to us after a trip with friends and a return visit to Batterby House, a bed and breakfast we loved. When we learned it was closing, we planned one final stay.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little did I know, Adam had been working with the owners, Joe and Courtney, to make it an engagement weekend! We went for a picnic at Olana, where he proposed at a scenic overlook. Back at the B&B, flowers, macarons and a bottle of bubbly were waiting for us.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent the evening calling our loved ones before dinner at our favorite Hudson restaurant, feast & floret. Adam had also secretly arranged for my parents to join us the next day. He went golfing with my dad while my mom and I hand-dyed scarves together. It was such a special weekend! <\/p>\n\n\n

DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I always wanted to look like a princess<\/a> on my wedding day, and my Martina Liana gown made that dream come true!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to Kleinfeld Bridal in November 2023 for my first wedding dress shopping experience<\/a> and happened upon a Martina Liana sample sale. I tried on several designs, but my bridal consultant<\/a> knew this dress was somewhere on the floor and hunted it down just for me. Sure enough, I tried it on, and it was THE one!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom, best friend and cousin were there to share the moment and shed some happy tears. I especially loved the pearls scattered throughout the dress and trailing down my back through the train. I paired it with pearl earrings and a necklace from Stone and Strand and loved all of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DID YOU FEEL IN YOUR GOWN ON YOUR BIG DAY?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. It didn\u2019t matter which angle, they were all amazing! I especially loved the \u201csecret\u201d slit<\/a>, which got its moment when I had to walk up some steps to meet Adam for the ceremony and realized I couldn\u2019t get up them without it. I wore my gown all night, until our pajama after-party, because it was so special that it deserved to be the only dress of my wedding day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DID ADAM REACT WHEN HE SAW YOU IN YOUR WEDDING DRESS?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He repeatedly told me leading up to our wedding that he wasn\u2019t going to cry when he saw me, which I was OK with. Adam didn\u2019t end up shedding a tear, but seeing the huge smile on his face as he waited for me at the end of the aisle was enough! <\/p>\n\n\n

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We got married at Basilica in Hudson, New York. We looked at venues in New York City, New Jersey and the Hudson area, but ultimately knew we wanted to bring our friends and family to our special place. Our wedding fell at the peak of leaf season, so our guests got to experience such a beautiful time of year there.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our specialty cocktails featured our favorite local distillery, Cooper\u2019s Daughter, and were named after our three cats. Instead of cake, we served apple cider donut sundaes to embrace the season, and they were a hit! Our bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages were all made with wood flowers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centerpieces, we used herbs and houseplants that guests could take home, along with custom faux-leather bookmarks that doubled as seating cards, each featuring their first name and October\u2019s birth flower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR MOST SPECIAL MEMORIES FROM THE DAY?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Real<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


My dress even got to participate in a father-daughter softball catch! It honored the special bond my dad and I formed through all my years playing recreational, travel and college softball.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highlight was our after-party at Basilica, where everyone changed into pajamas and comfy clothes to keep celebrating. We had chips and dip, more donuts and s\u2019mores over a fire pit. It was such a fun way to end the night! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DID YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL, CULTURAL OR FAMILY TRADITIONS THAT YOU INCORPORATED?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I grew up Catholic, and Adam grew up Jewish, but neither of us wanted a religious ceremony or an officiant we didn\u2019t know. We asked our friend Rob to officiate, and he did an amazing job.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony was funny, personal, about 20 minutes long and included his specialty affirmations. It was better than we could have imagined! We also honored Jewish traditions, including Adam breaking the glass and dancing the hora. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS GOWN<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Melissa sought a striking bridal look with architectural structure and dimensional embellishment<\/a>. Exploring Martina Liana wedding dresses revealed exact precision and sophisticated design, and Martina Liana Style 1715<\/a> delivered exactly the silhouette she envisioned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Melissa\u2019s favorite details was the way pearls were artfully arranged throughout the dress design and then trailed down her back and throughout the train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gorgeous illusion open back detail is framed in lace with timeless fabric-covered buttons that trail to the hem of the train. From the waist, soft pleats open into a full A-line skirt adorned with scattered tendrils of lace appliques. Feel utterly romantic and sophisticated gliding down the aisle in this romantic A-line wedding dress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
