Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?
Our wedding day was more of a rustic theme with accent colors of rose gold and navy blue. Colors inspired by our favorite colors. Both of our favorite colors are blue and my second favorite is rose gold.
Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?
We hired my aunt to be our decorator, she owns her own little business and she does all of her projects herself along with her best friend.
Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, traditions, guest entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?
We did everything pretty much traditional, we had a three strand ceremony, cutting of the cake and dancing. My father and step mother did our catering. I believe our favorite part would have to be our first dance. Obviously the first look when I walked down the aisle. It was bitter sweet because of the separation and the tragic event that took place that morning. We really needed one another and seeing him was exactly what I needed and he needed it just as much.
Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?
I chose my dress with my mother, aunt, and two bridesmaids. Took us a while but we finally found the one !! His attire changed over the course of planning multiple times lol. He dresses very western on a normal occasion. So instead of the traditional suit and tie he decided him and his men Would wear their cowboy hats and boots lol it’s fit the theme and our style a lot better. It just screamed HIM. If you know my husband, you know.
What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?
The finally seeing one another for the first time at the alter. It was a super tough morning for us. And he couldn’t be there for me when I needed him so when we finally got to see one another it was such a relief.
Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?
We would say to do it together. Plan it how YALL want it. It’s okay to take advice or opinions from others but at the end of the day, do what makes YOU TWO happy. The day is about the TWO of you. Not your family members or friends. Don’t let anyone talk to you into doing things the way THEY think it should be done. Take a breather, relax, and do your best to ENJOY the planning. It gets super stressful and overwhelming at times so just remember it will all be worth it in the end. Marriage advice is communication. But in order for there to be communication you first have to have comprehension. You can talk all day long but if there is no comprehension you’ll stay stuck in that same place. Put one another first always. The family you create is more important than the family you came from. Take time for one another. Do what makes yall happy and never give up
