Savannah and Stephen’s wedding was a breathtaking celebration of creativity, romance, and unapologetically being themselves. Set deep in the forest at Fawn Creek Campground, their day blended vintage elegance, gothic charm, meaningful traditions, and a few unforgettable surprises. From a black bridal gown to a lightsaber battle during their first dance, every detail reflected their unique love story and the things they cherish most. Congratulations Savannah & Stephen! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Savannah’s proposal story is one for the books. Wanting to create something memorable and completely unexpected, she secretly planned a romantic picnic overlooking one of their favorite camping spots. After weeks of collecting vintage décor and creating a scavenger hunt of clues, she sent Stephen on an adventure to find her. But after arriving at the beautifully styled picnic, Stephen surprised Savannah by getting down on one knee himself and asking her to be his wife. Of course, her answer was an enthusiastic yes.

When it came to finding her wedding dress, Savannah’s journey took an unexpected turn. She originally had her heart set on a black gown and eventually chose a beautiful white and mauve dress. However, after experiencing health issues that made the fitted silhouette uncomfortable, she made a spontaneous trip back to the bridal shop with her maid of honor. There she found a stunning black satin gown that made her feel like both a rockstar and a bride. In the end, Savannah got to say yes to the dress twice before finding the one that perfectly fit her vision.

On May 24, 2025, Savannah and Stephen brought their dream wedding to life at Fawn Creek Campground. Their vision was a moody, vintage-inspired celebration filled with romance and elegance. Guests walked through a "Tunnel of Enchantment" of trees to reach a candlelit forest ceremony surrounded by rich florals, greenery, and meaningful details. One especially touching element was an apothecary table featuring dried flowers from every bouquet Stephen had ever given Savannah, allowing guests to honor loved ones and participate in the ceremony in a unique way.

The couple also incorporated a tree planting ceremony as a symbol of their growing life together. Throughout the day, every detail reflected their personalities, from the thrifted vintage décor to the intimate family-style reception that followed.

While there were countless memorable moments, Savannah’s favorite was the surprise she planned for Stephen during their first dance. Just moments into the song, the music shifted to the Darth Vader march as fog rolled across the dance floor and their wedding party burst into a choreographed lightsaber battle. Seeing Stephen’s reaction made all the planning worthwhile and perfectly honored his love of Star Wars in an elegant and unexpected way.

Another special memory came during the reception’s karaoke celebration. Savannah’s daughter, who shares her love of singing, performed "Yellow" by Coldplay and invited her mom to join her. The sweet moment between mother and daughter quickly became one of the most treasured memories of the entire day.

Her advice for future brides? “Give yourself so much more time than you think to get ready. And try your dress on the day before to check for any last minute issues.”
