Which Maggie Sottero gown did you wear?<\/strong>
\nVerina<\/a> by Maggie Sottero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

How did you know when you found \u201cthe dress\u201d?<\/strong>
\nAs soon as we scheduled a winter wedding, I knew sleeves were a must. The venue we booked was a historic hotel in downtown Roanoke, VA, that dates back to 1925. I was inspired by the southern charm and architecture of the building, and so the hunt began for a vintage lace gown and a fur mink stole. I first visited the Maggie Sottero Designs website and browsed \u201cvintage wedding dresses.\u201d I saw Verina, and my heart exploded. The search was over! Even though I still went dress shopping and tried on over 100 dresses, I went back to Verina. She was the one all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

What was your favorite part of the dress?<\/strong>
\nThe open back really showed off the work I\u2019d put in at the gym \u201cshredding for the wedding.\u201d The intricate detailing of this dress was also simply to die for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Magical\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

How did you and your partner meet?<\/strong>
\nWe met through mutual friends. We were actually both seeing other people when we met! A few weeks after we started dating and I knew he was the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

How did he propose?<\/strong>
\nWorth proposed to me on a cruise to Aruba. I totally was not expecting it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Where did you get married?<\/strong>
\nThe Patrick Henry Hotel in downtown Roanoke, Virginia. Our wedding ceremony and reception were both here in a beautiful ballroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Did your wedding have a theme?<\/strong>
\nI would say our theme was a very traditional, southern wedding. There were magnolia leaves and Christmas trees, and lots of ivory with navy and gold accents, which created a very regal setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

How did you decide what you wanted your wedding to look like?<\/strong>
\nMy maid of honor, who is also my older sister, is a party planning extraordinaire and creative genius. She can look at a space, a dress, a pair of shoes, a piece of furniture, and within five seconds, she\u2019ll have an amazing idea. She saw the venue and immediately said, \u201cOkay this is what we\u2019re doing,\u201d and it turned out amazing. My mom also had a December wedding in a Virginia governor\u2019s mansion back in the eighties, and we used her wedding for a lot of our inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

What was your favorite wedding day moment?<\/strong>
\nThere were so many! Dancing with my groom and our friends at the reception is something I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your wedding in one word.<\/strong>
\nStately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Winter-Wonderland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

What advice do you have for future brides?<\/strong>
\nTry to enjoy the moment because your wedding day will go by so fast. Let others help in handling details so you can relax. I also recommend a wedding day coordinator, so your groom, bridesmaids, and family members can also enjoy the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
