Under a sweeping willow tree and surrounded by loved ones, Madison and Ethan celebrated their love with warmth, laughter and pure joy! Congratulations Madison and Ethan! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!
When Ethan proposed, he brought Madison back to the property of a close friend where they had one of their very first dates! There, under a beautifully arranged arch surrounded by candles, he asked her to marry him while his family hid in the bushes capturing every sweet moment on video! How sweet!
When it came time to find the dress, Madison came in with one idea, something sleek and fitted, but the gown that stole her heart was the total opposite. Our stunning princess ball gown, Maddy, that made her feel like royalty the instant she slipped it on. It was everything she never knew she wanted, and the twirl factor was unmatched!
Their wedding day on August 9, 2024, was pure magic. Held on a family friend’s picturesque property in Otis Orchards near Newman Lake, the couple said “I do” beneath a 100-year-old weeping willow tree, surrounded by the soft sounds of nature and a friendly peacock who made a few surprise appearances throughout the day! The setting perfectly captured the couple’s relaxed, heartfelt vibe, with laughter, happy tears, and love in every moment.
One of the most unforgettable highlights was the bride’s little sister’s maid of honor speech, a perfect mix of humor, heart, and sisterly love that had everyone in the crowd laughing and tearing up all at once. For the bride, though, the most meaningful part of the day was simply looking around and seeing so many loved ones gathered together: “It was such a warm feeling to know they all made time out of their busy lives to come celebrate us.”
Her advice for future brides? “Don’t sweat the small stuff!!! No one knows your exact plan and they aren’t going to know how much you spent on flowers or if you’re running behind schedule. To them, it’s exactly how it was planned to be so don’t let it ruin your day! Things will go wrong, but just laugh about it and remember why you spent all that time preparing. It’s to marry the love of your life and as long as they show up, everything else is a bonus (:”
