Cecelia + William

Some proposals are big and loud, others are quiet and personal, but Cecelia’s was sculpted literally in the sands! While down in a little beach town in Southern Texas, she thought she and William were headed to a sand castle building class (honestly adorable, right?). But when they arrived, what greeted her was no ordinary castle! William, his father and his brother managed to sneak away while Cecelia was getting ready for the day and constructed a giant sand castle with: “Cecelia, will you marry me?” carved into the side! It was sweet, surprising and totally unforgettable!

When Cecelia stepped into Believe Bride, she already had an idea of what she wanted in her wedding dress, and she found it in Maddy, from our Catherine James line! “The customer service was AMAZING,” she shared. “The stylist was so helpful and informative. I ended up with my dream dress and an amazing experience.” We were so honored to be part of her journey!

The couple choose Independence Day as their special day since, not only is it one of their favorite holiday’s but now, they will always be celebrated with fireworks! (and the day off!) Talk about a fabulous bonus to marrying the love of your life!

Everything about the day was perfect! On Lake Wenatchee, every detail of the wedding was heartfelt and uniquely theirs! Cecelia let each of her girls choose a style that made them look and feel their best, while the groomsmen kept it cool and casual instead of a full tux! Even catering and dessert were fun with family and friends and family pitching in for some of the dishes and even donuts!

The florals and decorations were a true labor of love, designed by Cecelia’s stepmom, and Cecelia dedicated her bouquet to her mom—a tender tribute that made the day even more meaningful.

One of the most touching moments came just before the ceremony. Cecelia and Will chose not to do a first look, but instead shared a private “first touch”: holding hands, exchanging vows, and praying together without ever seeing each other. “It was perfect,” Cecelia shared. “It made the moment he did see me in my dress so incredibly special.”

Every detail, from the music to the MC (a close friend), was designed to reflect the couple’s laid-back, love-filled style, and it all came together beautifully.

Cecelia summed it up best:
“The whole day was perfect and simple, just what we wanted.”

Congrats Cecelia & William! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

Allison + David

Some love stories are written in the stars, and some begin with a post-run pint and a spontaneous song on a bar. Allison and David’s journey spans over a decade, filled with shared adventures, a few detours, and a love that always found its way home. Their wedding day was the perfect celebration of who they are together: rustic, joyful, meaningful, and full of heart. Congrats Allison & David! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

For Allison and David, it all began over a decade ago at O’Doherty’s Irish Grille! They bonded over their shared love of craft beer, running, and outdoor adventures, and soon became partners in crime. Life had its share of twists and turns, but each one brought them back to one another, right where they belonged.

On November 17, 2023, almost ten years after that very first night, David brought Allison back to the place where it all started. In true tradition, he sang from the bar (yes, on the bar!), then asked her to marry him. Cue the happy tears.

When it came time to find the dress, Allison had her doubts. With a tight budget and only six months until the big day, she wasn’t sure she’d find something that felt truly “her.” But thanks to a lucky drawing at Believe Bride and a little styling magic from Alexa, the stars aligned. “I knew I wanted something vintage-boho, maybe form-fitting, but I also wanted to be comfortable and able to move,” she shared. The dress had to be off-the-rack and within budget. No easy task, but then Janet appeared! The fringe, the fit, the feeling. “The moment I put it on, I knew. No mirrors needed!”

On June 28, 2024, under the summer sky and surrounded by forest, Allison and David said “I do” in the most them way possible. Their vision: rustic, simple, and bursting with meaning. From DIY bouquets assembled by the bridal party the day before, to a bartender they’d come to know and love, everything had a personal touch. Even their vendor team felt like family, friends from work, acquaintances-turned-allies, and friendly faces who made the day feel uniquely theirs.

But the magic didn’t stop there.

David’s stepdad pulled off a labor of love: he restored a 1967 Chevy Camaro just in time for the couple’s grand entrance. The newlyweds pulled into the reception to a chorus of cheers! The classic car became an instant hit (and a perfect photo op)

When asked about her favorite moment, Allison’s answer was simple: “Getting married to my adventure buddy, in the middle of the woods, surrounded by all of our friends and family.” Truly, a dream come true.

Allison’s advice for future brides?
“Focus on what you want out of your day and make every decision based on that. Don’t settle. You won’t remember the centerpieces or the arbor flowers—so don’t stress or break the bank over the little things. Stay true to your vision.”

Tristina + Vern

Some love stories are so full of magic, they feel like they are written just for the movies and Tristina and Vern’s was no different!

In February 2023, Vern got down on one knee on the bridge at Riverfront Park, right above the rushing falls. With their kids by their side and the sound of the water behind them, he asked the question! And of course, Tristina said yes!

Fast forward to dress shopping! “The second I put my dress on, I KNEW,” she told us. No second-guessing, no dress regret, not even once. She said “yes to the dress” a year and a half before the big day and never looked back. That’s the kind of bridal confidence we love to see!

On August 3rd, 2024, they said “I do” at their beautiful boho country wedding! It was everything they dreamed of and more! Tristina even had her dream bouquet made, thanks to her day of coordinator! Their favorite part of the night was definitely their vows, as well as a surprise flash mob! Tristina’s aunt had reached out to nearly every guest to get them to learn a dance! Everyone was on the floor and no one will be forgetting how special of a moment that was any time soon!

But the most special moment of all was definitely when Tristina’s daughter gave such a heartfelt speech that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room!

This will definitely be a moment to remember and we are so thankful to have been able to be a part of such a special day! Congratulations Tristina and Vern! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

Bonnie + Titus

Bonnie and Titus’s wedding on June 15, 2024, at Barnyard Bliss in Deer Park, WA, was an intimate celebration of around 100 guests, blending rustic and elegant elements. Bonnie and Titus incorporated personal touches, like Bonnie’s father wearing a traditional Scottish tartan and Bonnie herself handcrafting all the bouquets and centerpieces from Sola wooden flowers. With a mix of catering, potluck dishes, and a mocktail bar, their special day truly reflected their personalities and love. Congratulations Bonnie and Titus! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! Titus proposed to Bonnie when they visited the Japanese Gardens in Manito Park in Spokane with some of his family (thanks to them there's photos and video for memories!) She didn't see it coming but said yes right away! That was July 9, 2023, and the week before Bonnie had traveled to Montana to visit her parents and on the drive home Titus had called her parents to ask for their blessing to marry Bonnie.

The Dress! Bonnie can be quite picky at times and more often than not knows what she does not want but not always what she does want! She watched "Say Yes to the Dress" with her mom for years, and saw many types of wedding dresses. She looked online for places to try on wedding dresses, liked the feeling of Believe Bride so took her mom and future mother-in-law there to hopefully find a dress on the first try. She tried on probably a dozen dresses of different styles, but once she tried on this exact dress she loved it right away! She loved how unique it was with the foliage looking beading, bell sleeves, and vintage style. She knew she'd be marrying the man of her dreams in this wedding dress!

The Big Day! For the wedding Bonnie and Titus kept the guests to around 100 people so it could still be small and intimate while having as many of their most important people there. They chose a venue that featured nature and had an elegant but rustic feeling. Titus chose his brothers as groomsmen and one of his best friends, and all of his brothers are married so the wives were the bridesmaids along with one of his younger sisters. This really made the wedding a family celebration! And Bonnie's dad wore a traditional Scottish tartan for their family last name; he was the best dressed at the wedding aside from the bride! And for the flowers Bonnie had used Sola wooden flowers that she dyed, stemmed, and assembled to create all the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and centerpieces. There was probably 500 flowers and now they will never go bad! Apparently everyone loved the flowers and couldn't believe Bonnie created them all! And luckily since the venue had a suite to stay at the night before the wedding they were able to decorate as long as they needed and not feel rush. For the reception they did part catering and part potluck which also added a unique element to the wedding. They even had a mocktail bar so people could craft tasty drinks! And Bonnie always wanted disposable cameras at her wedding so she could see what the wedding was like from a guests perspective (granted, only about half the pictures were even decent, but it was still fun!)
Overall the wedding was perfect and really was a celebration of Bonnie and Titus' love.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? While the wedding party walked down the aisle, Bonnie and her dad waited behind the barn doors for the big reveal. Bonnie loved that even though she had stressed about all the details leading up to that moment, in that instant she had such a calm feeling knowing she was marrying the best person in the world for her and she had nothing to worry about.

Special Memories! It was so great having such a huge range in ages from a few weeks old to grandparents in their late 80's. And we were worried the weather wouldn't hold up since when we were decorating it was hailing so hard, but luckily by the time the ceremony came around the sky parted and the sun was out and the wind stopped, felt quite miraculous!

What advice would you give to future brides? Work together in making decisions, so both people have a say since a day for both of you. And don't let other peoples opinions change what you and your future spouse want for your wedding day.

Maia + Austin

After a 10-mile hike in the mountains for her proposal, Maia’s wedding journey continued with the challenge of choosing her perfect dress. She recalls feeling torn between two beautiful gowns, constantly wondering if she picked the right one. Looking back, though, she knows she would have loved either. Her big day on June 29, 2024, in Elk River, Idaho, perfectly captured the rustic, elegant, and western vibe she envisioned.

Her favorite part of the wedding? The reception, where she got to visit with all of her guests! The cake cutting was another standout moment, filling the day with joy and laughter. Maia’s advice to future brides is to keep dress shopping simple—she wishes she had only taken her mom, as it can be overwhelming when trying to please everyone.

Congratulations Maia and Austin! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

Jessica + Matthew

On July 6, 2024, Jessica and Matthew tied the knot at Mitcham’s Barn in a day filled with love, laughter, and unique touches—like giving each single lady a rose instead of a traditional bouquet toss. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple created countless special memories, from their sons being ring bearers and best men, to Matthew holding back tears as Jessica walked down the aisle. Congratulations Jessica and Matthew! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! It was December 22nd, 2022, I was at work, and he was texting me and was asking me for my dad's phone number because he had found a gas can that would fit to my dad's Jeep. I knew something was up because he normally doesn't talk to my dad on the phone. So, after I gave him my dad's phone number, he had asked me if there was any place that has Christmas lights. The only place that I could think of was Sacred Heart at the children's hospital. He said he wanted to go look at Christmas lights and I definitely knew something was up at that point because it was -6 with the wind chill. So, we go and we get to Sacred Heart and he's back behind me and I'm taking pictures of all the lights, well I stepped back and almost knocked the ring out of his hand and almost knocked him over. He gets back into position; I turned around and he was down on one knee and then he asked me to marry him. My response was "really?!" And then I said "yes" I will always remember it because I love looking at Christmas lights, it was -6 and I'm always cold and I was pregnant at the time, And I got to say yes to my best friend.

The Dress! I worked with Alexa, and she was really helpful. I gave her a picture of an idea of what I thought I'd want, and she delivered. The first dress I tried on was it, I still had second thoughts because I wasn't 100% sure. I didn't know what to actually look for when it came to deciding on a dress. I ended up getting a dress somewhere else and then regretted it. November rolled around and I ended up going back to Believe Bride and getting the dress I originally tried on. I believe that time I worked with a girl named Jayden. It was a very magical experience.

The Big Day! I would say the one thing that made our wedding different was the bouquet toss. I didn't do a normal bouquet toss. I gave each individual single gal a single rose. Our pastor was our officiant, and he did a great job, his wife even helped coordinate it. My two sisters were my maid of honors, and 2 of my nieces were my bridesmaids, and my youngest niece was my flower girl. My son and nephew were the ring bearers, my nephew brought my son up in a wagon. My oldest son was my husband's best man. My husband also had his best friend who was also the best man. He had another friend of his as his groomsmen.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? Seeing my husband trying to hold back his tears when I walked down the aisle.

Special Memories! I was able to marry my best friend. I couldn't have asked for a better day. There was a lot of special memories. We had a photo booth that gave print outs to our guests when they took pictures.

What advice would you give to future brides? Just breathe, have fun, don't stress, and just enjoy the day.

Shalyn + Caleb

Shalyn and Caleb's wedding on June 29, 2024, in Spangle, WA, was a whirlwind of a day that turned into a beautiful boho-western celebration! With colors of burnt orange and burgundy setting the scene, the morning started with a series of mishaps—from a twisted ankle to a hospital visit, and even a curling iron incident. But the moment Shalyn put on her dress, the chaos melted away, and the day transformed into something truly magical. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt tears, especially as Caleb’s personal vows made Shalyn fall even deeper in love. The highlight? Shalyn’s brother surprising everyone with a song from their favorite movie—his first time singing in front of anyone! It was a memory she’ll cherish forever. Congratulations Shalyn and Caleb! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

The Proposal! He proposed to me out on my families property on pend Oreille that I grew up on. It was me, him, our daughter and our new puppy!! And then right after he proposed we surprised our family with another baby announcement because I was pregnant with our son!!!!

The Dress! I knew what dress I wanted the moment I saw it. I was at the bridal expo at the convention center and saw it on a mannequin cloud 9 had out. I went to try it on and they thought I wouldn’t be able to try it on because they only had smaller sizes but when she checked they got my exact size in that morning. I fell in love with it but decided to keep looking. Then when I came to believe bride I tried more dresses and y’all said you had my original favorite in your store! I had done some modeling of a believe bride dress before and loved the store so much. Y’all beat the price that cloud 9 was going to give me and I took home my dress a couple months later!!!

The Big Day! Our wedding was boho-western and my colors were burnt orange and burgundy. I had many complications my wedding day, my mom twisted her ankle, my best friends dad totaled his truck, my sister-in-law got sick and had to go to the hospital, and my son grabbed a curling iron. The whole morning was crazy and nerve wrecking. But as soon as I put my dress on everything seemed to calm down and the nerves melted away. The rest of the day was beautiful, the ceremony was full of tears and you could feel the love. And now I get to call my best friend and the father of my babies my husband. Even with all the complications, it turned out to be the best day in the end!’

What was your favorite part of your wedding? Our ceremony was my favorite. Hearing his personal vows made me fall deeper in love with him.

Special Memories! After all of the speeches (they were all beautiful) my brother gave a surprise speech and then ended up singing our favorite song from our favorite movie! He’s never sang in front of anyone before but it was amazing and something I’ll never forget!

What advice would you give to future brides? Don’t worry about all the little details on your wedding day, it’ll all work out and be beautiful with the help of your loved ones!

Cassandra + Robert

On June 8th, Cassandra and Robert celebrated their wedding at the lovely Ballard Meadows, choosing a relaxed and easygoing location close to Spokane. They aimed for a stress-free day filled with joy, surrounded by friends and family. One of Cassandra's favorite moments was stopping for donuts on their way to the venue—because why not enjoy a sweet treat on such a special day? The highlight of the celebration was Cassandra's 15-year-old daughter, who delivered the most touching speech, adding a playful roast towards her stepdad that had everyone in tears. It was a heartfelt moment that perfectly captured the love and laughter of the day! Congratulations Cassandra and Robert! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

The Dress! My dress story is one that started with disaster. I had originally purchased a dress back in August of 2023, fast forward to April 2024 I try on said dress and it does not fit. Start the waterworks and devastation, my mom thankful stepped in and called around to every bridal shop we could find on Google. Thankful Believe had an opening that evening so we could go in after she was off work to hopefully find something. After trying on a dress that was similar to my original I knew I needed to change my mindset and go with a completely different look. I found one I really did love however the fabric was just too heavy for a June wedding. We played around with a few different dresses until we found the dress I ended up purchasing. Once we figured out it was missing just a small touch; I loved the look of drop sleeves. We were able to find some to add to the dress and I knew it was the one for the day. While it was not the original dress I thought I would be wearing everyone says that my new dress was the right choice in the end.

What advice would you give to future brides? Relax, breathe, and bring a granola bar
