Congratulations Lauren and Justin! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Dress!

During my second appointment I actually found the dress myself on the rack as we walked by. Darlene was great but I just didn’t fall in love with anything until this one caught my eye. It was the first one I tried on that second appointment and knew it was the one!!

The Proposal!

Justin took me on a weekend getaway to an Airbnb in Spokane. To end the weekend, he took me up to the rose garden in Manito Park where his friend had left rose petals in the gazebo. He had a photographer in the bushes and my family watching from afar. It was the perfect proposal.

The Big Day!

Our wedding was simple and elegant when it came to flowers and decor. We went with simple colors of agave and blush pink with gold accents throughout. My husband is big into football, so we did a coin toss during the ceremony to see who had to read their vows first. We also had one last kiss with our mothers during the ceremony which was sweet. Everyone had fun and it was the perfect day.

What was your favorite part of your wedding?

The speeches from our sisters were amazing. I also really enjoyed the garter removal. My husband and the DJ planned a little bit where he pulled out a football and fishing pole before he “found” the garter. I had no idea it was going to happen (the only surprise to me on the day) and it was hilarious. I also loved giving my fiancé a pin with his late best friend’s face on it so he could wear that all day and still have his buddy with him on our special day.

Special Memories:

The pin I described above was a special memory. Same with the speeches from our sisters. I also made my own custom wedding cookies so those were super special!

What advice would you give to future brides?

Don’t stress the little things. Make a decision and move on during the planning process because the day of and all the days after you won’t remember how it was. Choose things that make you happy and bring you peace. If you are stressing, you’re doing it wrong.
