Rob & Jessie wanted to be able to look back on their wedding photos when they’re in their ripe old age and still love all the choices they made, so they went with a classic and timeless feel with the design elements as these beautiful images by THE CARRS PHOTOGRAPHY demonstrate. We’re loving the neutral palette of the bridesmaids JENNY YOO gowns which are paired perfectly with the florals by FLORAL VERDE.
TELL US ABOUT FINDING YOUR WEDDING DRESS: Finding my wedding dress was like a dream come true. Going into it, I had every expectation that it was going to take me a long time to find “the dress”. However, it was only the 4th one I tried on and I didn’t want to take it off. I didn’t try on another dress because I knew it was the one.
DESCRIBE YOUR WEDDING FLOWERS: My flowers were so lovely. Fragrant, crisp, garden style. I went with all cream flowers with touches of greenery and especially olive leaves. The best thing about them was how good they smelt… it was better than any perfume I could have worn that day. Janet from Floral Verde did an amazing job and I could not have been happier.
FAVOURITE DETAIL OF THE DAY: The heirloom ring my grandmother passed down to me on my wedding day. It was my something blue and my something old. My mother actually remembers picking the ring out with my grandpa when she was a little girl for mother’s day. I have some many memories of my grandmother wearing it during my childhood and now every time I see it on my hand I think of her (and always will).
WHAT ADVISE WOULD YOU GIVE OUT TO A COUPLE PLANNING THEIR WEDDING? Don’t stress the small stuff. I really embraced this attitude throughout and in the end the day actually far exceeded my expectations. My only regret was not having a longer reception because we were not ready to stop dancing at the end of the night.
