Angelena and Ivan's wedding on the 7th of October was a beautiful blend of tradition and personal touches. The vibrant colorful florals added a touch of whimsy, while including their dog as the wedding party brought a heartfelt charm. Opting for a pizza cutting instead of the usual cake cutting added a fun and unexpected twist to the celebration. The couple's special day was filled with moments that reflected their personalities, making it a memorable and joyous occasion for all who attended. Congratulations Angelena and Ivan! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! The original plan was to propose at Disney in 2020! Instead, he brought Disney to me at a family cabin and asked me in front of all our friends and family :)

The Dress! My dress made me feel the best I’ve ever felt! I knew I wanted something to support the girls but flowy on the bottom so I can get my boogie on and not worry about comfort! (I seriously didn’t want to take my dress off when it was time to leave, that’s how comfortable it was!!) Alexa made me feel so welcomed and even though we showed up an hour early, my mom and I were taken right away! She was so helpful and picked some great options! I had a top two and looking back in the photos, I made a face on the one and only dress, so it was meant to be :)

The Big Day! We had an amazing wedding!! The best one I’ve been to, and we are the last of both our friends to get married, so we knew what was important and what wasn’t something to get hung up on! I’m very lucky to have a partner who cared equally on what was happening and having an opinion! No matter how many arguments :) we had ZERO wedding parties. Our dog was our “wedding party” and it was the best decision ever! We went bold in our color choices and asked everyone to wear black to contrast the brightness. We also took a unity shot of tequila during our ceremony and it helped calmed the nerves! We talk about it at least once a month that we wish we could relive that day because it was the smoothest loveliest day ever <3

What was your favorite part of your wedding? Instead of a cake cutting scenario, we did a pizza cutting moment! It’s so fun to look back at and see the love we have for each other and pizza!

Special Memories! We took dance lessons for our first dance! We practiced so much and would get close but not all the way nail it. Well, we did one last rehearsal and we killed it! And then continued to kill it during the big moment! It was so cool to bond over dance lessons and how comforting it is to be on their arms :)

What advice would you give to future brides? DO WHAT YOU WANT!!!! Don’t let anyone tell you how you wedding should be if it’s not what you want. You won’t make everyone happy but for the ones who matter most, they will support you the most! You hope to only have to plan one wedding, so why not make it exactly HOW YOU WANT IT <3
