Hailey and Matthew’s wedding was a beautiful waterfront celebration filled with family, meaningful details, and so much love. With handmade touches created by the people closest to them and a ceremony overlooking the water, their day felt incredibly personal from beginning to end. Congratulations Hailey and Matthew! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Matthew’s proposal brought Hailey back to a place close to her heart. During a visit to her hometown, the two went for a walk along the beach. There, Matthew sang Hailey a song he had written especially for her before getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him. It was a sweet and personal beginning to their next chapter together.

When Hailey began shopping for her wedding dress, she walked in with a clear picture of what she thought she wanted. That vision quickly changed when her sister-in-law chose something completely different for her to try. As soon as Hailey put it on, she fell in love, and seeing the reactions on her family’s faces confirmed what she was already feeling. The dress simply felt right. More than anything, Hailey treasures the experience of having her family there beside her as she searched for the one.

On July 5, 2025, Hailey and Matthew were married at Fisherman’s Pavilion in Bellingham, Washington. Their family transformed the warehouse venue into a beautiful celebration space using a romantic palette of blush pink, white, gold, sage green, and touches of blue. One especially meaningful detail was the arbor handmade by Hailey’s grandfather and decorated by her mom, adding another personal family touch to their ceremony.

Hailey’s favorite moment came just after they officially became husband and wife. Walking back down the aisle together as a married couple was the moment everything became real and one she will always hold close.

Family played an incredibly meaningful role throughout their entire celebration. One memory that especially stands out was the speech Hailey’s dad gave during the reception. He spoke about the way Matthew had been there for Hailey and helped bring her smile and light back after the loss of her grandmother. It was a heartfelt reminder of the love surrounding the couple and the special bond their families share.

Her advice for future brides? “Honestly enjoy the little moments, and there are tons of ways to DIY things and really use the support that you have. Family is valuable and they can help so much even with the simplest little things.”
