We got married at The Common Man Inn & Spa in New Hampshire on November 13th in the "Birches" event hall. It had a beautiful wooden statement chandelier as well as beautiful white birch wall paper. The space really went with our theme, as I call it "Witchy Woodsy" our color scheme was black, gold, hunter green and maroon with touches of pampa grass, moss, black lace river rocks and white birch slabs. The weather was a beautiful, the sun was shining and it was one of the best days of my life. :)

Happily Ever After
What was your favorite feature?
Definitely the sleeves! I had always pictured myself wearing a long sleeve dress for my wedding day and as soon as i tried my dress on, I immediately knew it was the one. When i asked my husband what his favorite part of the dress was, he also said the sleeves!
How did you feel in your wedding dress?
I felt like such a princess in my dress, the way the tulle sparkled in the sun was stunning and it just looked so light and airy in photos.

We got married in a old blacksmith shop from 1855 during the gold rush era, that has now been turned in to a cultural center. The ceremony and reception was held in a beautiful stone room and the dress fit the vibe of the venue perfectly. We were surrounded by 75 of our closest family and friends and had the most perfect weather for a romantic winter wedding.

We got married in a small town at this beautiful cultural center. The dress was absolutely perfect for our venue, the main ceremony and reception area was all stone and exposed beams that we hung white draping from. We have been together since high school and we got married one month after our 10 year anniversary and it was so magical.

We got married in a catholic church and had a "first look" photoshoot. My husband couldn´t get a word out, when he saw me for the first time. We both were lost for words. Our wedding party was at a private little lake. We had 60 Guests. My husband suprised me with a big firework. It was the most beautiful day of our lives.

The perfect dress for my perfect day
What was your favorite feature?
Everything! It was so comfortable to wear and so gorgeous at the same time! The details on the top and the glitter throughout the bottom have to be my favorite things. I also had the train cut off and you couldn’t even tell the dress was missing something.
How did you feel in your wedding dress?
I am top heavy and the way my seamstress fixed the sleeves to sit up higher made me feel supported all night while the dress still hit me perfectly to hide some of my belly area.

We were married in my childhood church then celebrated our reception at the a NJ venue that provided both a rustic barn for cocktail hour and an elegant ballroom for the reception. The dress fit the combination of the two styles perfectly.

Miracles Happen, When You Believe
What was your favorite feature?
My favorite feature was the underlayer of sparkles, I also loved the little piece of tulle in across the cleavage. I ALSO loved the intricate floral lace, the sleeve scalloped edge beading and trim. Obviously it’s hard to pick a single one favorite.
How did you feel in your wedding dress?
I have never in my entire life felt as beautiful as I did in my wedding dress. From the day I tried it on and bought it, I could not wait to wear it and feel that beautiful all over again. It was absolutely magical.

Our wedding day was long awaited, as it is for most, but for us it came with a lot of obstacles. I broke my foot 5 months before or wedding and had 2 surgeries. Then 3 months before our wedding , my fiancé went into the ER for a kidney stone and they found stage 3 colon cancer. He had the tumor resected and started treatment. Despite all these obstacles including the threat of cat 5 hurricane Ian coming at us and causing us to evacuate 4 days before we were still able to have our special day.
