On July 18, 2024, Kristin and Matthew celebrated their love at the Spokane Tribe Casino, right on the center stage! It was the very first wedding to be held there and it was perfect! A beautiful blend of wood flowers in shades of purple, silver and black. Every detail was handcrafted, from the bouquets and boutonnieres to the delicious cupcakes baked by Kristin’s mom! It was everything the couple had dreamed of and more. Truly an unforgettable day! Congratulations Kirstin and Matthew! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Kristin’s dress journey began right here at Believe Bride. She came in knowing one thing for sure: she wanted all the sparkle. With Meagan’s help, she narrowed her options down to three gowns, each beautiful in their own way. But one dress kept pulling her back; a shimmering stunner that sparkled in just the right silver tones she loved. Even though it was at the high end of her budget, Kristin knew it was the one. With a few custom alterations, the gown became truly hers: a corset back and halter-style top crafted from the extra fabric transformed the look into something made just for her. The best part? Watching her daughters’ and mom’s faces light up with tears of joy when she said yes to the dress!

The wedding itself was a beautiful blend of heartfelt moments and fun surprises. Kristin and Matt included her daughters in a touching sand ceremony to symbolize the uniting of their family, creating a memory that brought the whole room to tears. As a surprise for Matt, a snippet of the Star Wars theme played just before Kristin walked down the aisle, adding a playful touch. Guests enjoyed a lively photo booth, DIY sparkle-filled centerpieces, and cupcakes lovingly made by Kristin’s mom. To wow their family and friends, the bridal party even took line dancing lessons before the wedding, kicking off an evening of nonstop fun on the dance floor.

From heartfelt speeches to dancing with both her dad and her 98-year-old grandfather, Kristin’s wedding was filled with moments she’ll cherish forever.

Her advice to future brides? “Don’t spend a fortune on the wedding. Enjoy your day and don’t be stressed because it goes by so fast. I loved every second of my wedding & I was definitely shopping around and DIY-ing as much as humanly possible to keep the costs down. Don’t feel obligated to pay for drinks, we didn’t & our guests paid for the drinks themselves. We paid for dinner & dancing.”
