Wedding Day Pieces 💍
All the wedding day essentials for brides, bridesmaids, moms, or anyone who wants to elevate their look for a wedding ✨
I’m obsessed with these shoes! The burgundy pair in first pics are what I wore on my wedding day. Not only are they stunning, but I usually hate wearing heels and want to take them off before the end of the night to feel relief..but I kept these on t...

Heidi has such beautiful style and vision for her jewelry. She came to the bridal boutique I worked at in Portland for trunk shows, and was so sweet. All her pieces are stunning. I had to have a pair of sparkly, dangling earrings for my wedding day a...

This process couldn’t have been more convenient. None of the suits we found in local shops fit our vision. We ordered exactly what we wanted online and were so impressed with how well the suits fit on the whole bridal party. Everyone was able to have...
The Black Tux
Gorgeous wedding venues ❤️
The stunning place I got married, and the other 2 I toured and LOVED that would’ve been my choice if I had gotten married in those states and not moved!
Got married here 6 years ago and I’m still so in love with this place!! It photographed so beautifully, and had the coziest elegant rustic mountain vibe. We got married in April and it snowed the day before so the pics were insane! The staff did an a...
Boettcher Mansion-Lookout Mountain, Golden, CO
My husband and I toured this venue first after getting engaged. We love Bend and the vibes here are beautiful! We ended up moving to CO and getting married there, but if we had stayed in OR, this def would’ve been our wedding venue.
I want to go ba...
Brasada Ranch- Bend, OR
Absolutely love everything about this beachfront resort. My husband and I wanted to get married there on the terrace overlooking the ocean when we lived in South FL, before we were even engaged! Ended up getting married years later in CO, but we stil...

True Society by The White Dress - Portland
This was my first bridal stylist job, years ago when I lived in Fort Lauderdale. This place is so charming and looks like an old Victorian house. There was even a tea room, though now it’s used for bridal consultations when stopping in to shop for yo...

This was my wedding caterer & they knocked it out of the park! From the first impression at our tasting, with personalized touches like a reserved parking spot out front with our names, a warm greeting upon arrival with homemade sodas & extra...
Footers Catering- Denver, CO
Some of the best treats I’ve had from a bake shop! They used to be named Cupcake Gypsies when they had their storefront in Loveland, CO. They have a trailer they take for pop-up events and festivals. The cupcakes are delicious and they offer such a l...

Hair/makeup that WOWS 😍
My bridal vision came to life thanks to Sam and the make up magic she brought for me and my bridesmaids!
Samantha blew me away on my wedding day with my hair and makeup. We did a trial prior, and I loved it then! But something about seeing it all come together on the day lit me up ✨
My bridal party also loved their looks as well ❤️

Dress alterations 🪡
Making sure your dress fits right, is just as important as picking out the perfect one! you’re in good hands here!
Highly recommend for any dress alterations in the Denver area. I worked as a bridal stylist at the time, and had a custom dress made out of crêpe silk fabric for the skirt, and a lace corset top. I needed to have them stitched together to join as a d...
