Amber + Nate

,

Amber and Nate were married on August 20th, 2022 at the same church their parents and grandparents were married in. The elegant and simple ceremony and reception held many sentimental memories as they took the first steps into their new life together, surrounded by family, friends and church members! Congratulations Amber and Nate and welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

The Proposal! The best April fools day ever! Yes, that is right, my fiancé proposed to me on April fools day! He had originally planned to propose to me the previous Saturday, however, I was sick and he had to improvise. I was still at work when I received a text from my man asking if I would like to go to Manito Park for a stroll then afterwards go look at some rings together. I was so excited! we were walking for a while, when suddenly he stops underneath a stone gazebo. I was in complete shock. This was something I had been dreaming about ever since I was little AND IT WAS HAPPENING! After giving me the sweetest speech, he asked for my hand in marriage and produced a ring I had saved on my Etsy quite a while back. It was a perfect proposal on a very memorable day!

The Big Day! Our wedding was hosted at the place we first met, church. We didn't know it at the time, but this is both the place where my parents and his grandparents were married! This made for some fun re-creations of our family members weddings and added sentimental value. We decided to go with green and gold for the main colors, and to stick to a simple, yet elegant theme. So many church members, friends, and family helped in setting up for the big day. My fiancé added some very fun touches by stringing lights to the ceilings in both the ceremony area and reception. My mother, mother in law and aunt in law helped create a wonderful feast for the big day. We were truly blessed for everyone's help. It was beyond what I had hoped for and more lovely than what I could have imagined. The decorations, the food, close family and friends all there to share it with, made it perfect. I am so grateful!

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part of my wedding was my fiancé seeing me in my dress for the first time. We did a private first look up at Manito Park. I just remember the photographer telling him to turn around, and all i could think was that he is so handsome in his suite (him and the groomsmen rented from Believe Bride). He started to cry and we both became emotional. I remember the nice woman who helped me find my dress, Darlene, and how she encouraged me to keep the back open. I am so glad I did! He spun me around and our photographer caught the cutest image of him seeing my backless dress for the first time. It was just a special private moment to share with each other!

Special Memories: One major, special memory from the big day happened at 3:00am. I received a text from my soon to be sister in-law/ my makeup artist that she would not be attending because she was in the hospital in labor! This was so special. This was the niece that both my fiancé and I have been praying for a safe pregnancy/ delivery! Although Nates brother was not able to be a groomsman that day, in order to be with his wife during her delivery, it added to our special day. We were waiting to go down the aisle, when a phone was handed over to us. About 6 minuets before our wedding started, we were shown our beautiful baby niece! It makes for a memory I will forever treasure.

What advice would you give to future brides? Stop, take a moment, and soak it all in! This is your special day. Not everything is going to be perfect, something is bound to go wrong, but the main focus is that you are getting married to the love of your life! Enjoy it! Sometimes the things that don't go according to plan, make the day even more memorable!

On August 21, Lindsay and Tucker had their rustic wedding to seal their happily ever after. They say rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck! So let us join the weather in wishing you the best of luck in your lives together.

Cheer to saying “I Do”!

The Proposal: He proposed by hiding an antler with a note on it. Then we went hunting and I found it! (How cute is that!)

The Big Day: Our theme was very rustic. It poured rain the entire day, stopped for our ceremony, and rained the rest of the night.

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: All the special people around us. (We LOVE a wedding surrounded by love!)

Special Memories: It rained all day, but we had no option to go inside! Luckily 2 days before we found a giant tent. It was the perfect way to shield us from the weather and still use the stunning scenery.

What advice would you give to future brides?: It’ll be perfect no matter what!

Kimberly + Brock

,

On July 17, 2021, Kimberly and Brock tied the knot at her parent’s ranch. In a ceremony that was absolutely picture perfect. Here’s to wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! Welcome to the Believe Bride Tribe!

The Proposal. On February 20th, Brock had suggested we get out of the house and go walk down at Higgins Point. It was cold, windy, and rainy, but honestly I didn't think it was anything out of the norm. Brock isn't the type to just sit around and he wouldn't let weather get in the way of enjoying the outdoors. So I bundled up and pretending like this was EXACTLY what I wanted to be doing too. After walking on the snow covered beach for a while, it was clear that I was freezing and I'm fairly certain my little toe was in the beginning stages of frostbite. So Brock decided this was the moment. He looked me in the eyes and asked me if I knew what day it was. "Its Saturday" I said. "Yea, you're right, but do you know what today actually is?" His eyes looked like they were watering but he claims it was because of the cold wind. "Its February 20th, the day before my moms birthday?" He laughed and said "I can't believe you don't know what day it is!" I reached for my phone to check our calendar, thinking I had missed a special anniversary, but he said I wasn't allowed to check it. "Here, I'll give you three hints." At this point his GoPro, that he very cleverly positioned to catch the moment, died. He grabbed it and started walking towards another area on the beach. I asked him what my hints were and all he kept saying was "you'll see." So we got to another area and he turned to face me. "Okay, I'll give you your hints now. Here's your first hint" He pulled a mini bottle of champagne out of his backpack and handed it me. "Now do you know what today is?" I looked at the champagne bottle and wondered what the heck he was up to because he's not really a drinker, especially champagne. "I can't believe you haven't figured out what today is yet. Here, maybe hint #2 will help." He pulled a single rose out from his backpack. Then I knew. This amazing man was about to ask me to spend the rest of my life with him. I was speechless, which is practically impossible for me. "NOW have you figured it out? If not, I think the last hint will give it away," and he pulled a ring box out, got down on one knee, and he asked me to marry him right there next to the water, in the snow. I bent down, hugged him, and cried. I had dreamt about this moment since I was little. I had always heard other sweet proposal stories, and wished I knew what it felt like. In my previous life, this moment never happened and it was more like casual, mutual agreement between two people. I felt jipped. But now God had brought the most amazing man into my life, and he was down on one knee, right in front of me, asking me to marry him. The moment was perfect, and its a moment I will re-live in my head every single day for years to come. On the way back to the car I asked him "So, what is today?" He looked at me and smiled and said "it's the day we got engaged, duh."

The Big Day: I tried to stay very simple. My colors were more earthy natural colors. Creams, dark greens, tans, but I did add just a tiny hint of blush pink :) We had it at my parents ranch on a cliffside, and every detail was created by me :) I had been married before in 2006 (before pinterest) and it wasn't at all what I had in mind. So I had my hand on every detail this time around! I tried to keep it very local to PNW- our cake was white cake with huckleberry filling, the wine was from Maryhill and Latah Creek, and our center pieces were wood cuts with white roses and hydrangeas.
We had about 100 guests and enjoyed dancing and food until almost midnight!

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: My favorite details was I hired a local country music musician (Joey Anderson) to sing "This is It" while I walked down the aisle.

Special Memories: My movie has always been Hope Floats because my life was exactly like Birdie. So our song was Garth Brooks To Make you Feel my Love, and it was the perfect song to represent our relationship.

What advice would you give to future brides?: Just stay calm!

Corinne + Jason

,

Corrine and Jason tied the knot on October 3, 2020 at the Q'emiln State Park Trailhead Event Center. You might not be able to tell from the photos, but they had WAY too much fun! I am so glad that you guys were able to have the absolute time of your lives on your big day. Thank you so much for sharing these memories with us, and letting us relive the day all over with you.

Cheers to a lifetime of happiness.

The Proposal. I got off work and got home after midnight to a note on the door. It told me to meet him at the boat launch at Q'emiln State Park (where we wanted to get married). He had laid out a blanket and candles and was waiting there with our dog and flowers. I obviously knew what was going to happen - because what else would we be doing on the beach at midnight! He couldn't stop hugging me, but he eventually got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. It was perfect!

The Big Day: What an absolutely perfect day. We started the day apart, getting ready with our bridal and groom parties. I had nervous knots, even though I knew we had everything taken care of. We met on the beach for a first look and as soon as he turned to me, and we were finally together, all of my nerves went away. We were finally getting married! Our photographer had drawn up an itinerary and we were on-time, if not early for everything. We were all able to be relaxed and really enjoy every moment. The key was to not worry about anything else, besides marrying the love of your life. All the other details would work out, but they weren't nearly as important. COVID changed our plans - some special guests couldn't make it, people wore masks and there was a lot more hand sanitizer than I ever thought there would be. But it was an absolutely perfect day in the craziest year. It's exactly what we needed and wanted. We could not be happier!

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: Jason and I decided that we would write our own personal vows, but not for the wedding. At our first look, it was just us and our photographers on the beach, and that's when we exchanged these vows. It was insanely intimate and emotional. And if we're being honest - we wouldn't have been able to get them out quickly enough at the actual ceremony. This is something I will always remember, and I'm so glad we did it this way.

We also left our reception to take sunset photos. This was great, not only for the gorgeous photos, but it gave us a moment to just be with each other after the ceremony. After all the hard parts were done - we took a hike into Q'emiln State Park and got to breathe and talk with one another.

Special Memories: I think my most special memories were in my favorite parts above. But there was another fun moment during the reception - one of my favorite karaoke songs came on and Jason ran to the DJ and demanded a mic for me because he wanted to hear me sing. I didn't really want to, but when your new husband is begging you to sing for him - you just have to do it! So I was in the center of the dance floor, belting our Locked Out Of Heaven by Bruno Mars.

At the end of the night, the DJ played "Closing Time" and everyone got into a big circle around us as we danced together in the center. That was such a fun moment that ended the day so perfectly.

What advice would you give to future brides?: My biggest advice is to go with the flow. Enjoy the day, and don't worry about anything but marrying the love of your life. Surround yourself with a team of family and friends that know the plan for the day and what you're wanting to see happen and trust that they will do their best to see that through.

July 2, 2021, at the beautiful Trezzi Farms Winery in Greenbluff, these two lovebirds committed to forever. We wish you a lifetime of love, and kisses, and more joy than you could hope for. Welcome to the Believe bride Family!

lavendar wedding.jpg

The Proposal: Andrew proposed on September 21st, 2020 in our first home we ever had together. He decorated our place because he wanted to look back on that day for many years and remember our first home together <3

The Big Day: Our wedding was simple and perfect! We decided to do first looks which was the BEST decision because it helped get all of our crazy nerves out of the way. Our colors were lavender, navy blue and forest green. We had a more rustic/farm style wedding and it was absolutely perfect! My grandfather cut wood planks for our center pieces and it was the perfect wood touch. Everything was what we hopped and dreamed about!

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: My favorite part though by far was that we said our vows privately in the bridal suite. We got to take 30 minutes of alone time together on the crazy day and it was something I will never forget

Special Memories: My husband and I met at a rave and our dj played music that reminded us from the day we met. We also had the BEST photographer and videographer and they captured the best moments of our day. One of my favorite memories though was the father daughter dance. The entire room was crying by the end of the song.

What advice would you give to future brides?: Make a few of your bridesmaids or groomsmen designated wedding “jerks”. If anything starts going south it will be their job to set things straight!

The Big Day: My husband is in the military so our wedding was rushed. I always said that someday I would have my dream wedding…and that dream finally came true. While my husband was deployed in Korea I planned the wedding from outfits to decor. Every small or big touches that were added to the wedding I did myself. I wouldn't change anything. My best friend came home and my dream finally came true.

What was your favorite part of your wedding?:My husband set up a chair for my grandmother who has passed away and put flowers on the seat and pedals around the chair cause he knew how special she was to me. Once I got down the aisle and looked out at everyone I saw the chair and started to cry.

Special Memories: Having our daughter do the first look. A special moment for her dad since he was away for 9 months.

What advice would you give to future brides?: Don't stress out about every detail and everything will fall into place.

Amy + Robby

June 13th, 2019, these two lovebirds tied the knot at St. Aloysius Catholic Church and then danced the night away at Fox & Goat Ranch! Congratulations you two, we wish you so much love and happiness. Happy to have you in the Believe Bride Family!

Field Pic.2.jpg

The Proposal: The morning of the day my husband proposed, he took me to get pedicures. Work had been extremely stressful so he recognized my need for a little self care. We had planned to meet his family at Arbor Crest that night. When we got to Arbor Crest, the sunset was stunning so, naturally, I wanted a picture. He was insistent on taking the picture by the Cliff House rather than just the parking lot which seemed strange, but I went along with it completely oblivious to what was about to happen. While his brother was taking a picture of us by the Cliff House, Robby got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the perfect place and the perfect proposal made even more perfect by having our family there to celebrate with us!

The Big Day: We were married at St. Aloysius Catholic Church where my grandparents, aunt & uncle, and cousin had all been married. Our reception was at Fox & Goat Ranch out near Airway Heights. The entire day was a dream! I had always imagined getting married at St. Als so that was the first part of the dream come true. Fox & Goat Ranch is located in the middle of rolling wheat fields. The venue had a great indoor and outdoor location. Our guests enjoyed playing hammerschlagen, ladder ball, and corn hole dancing to the music provided by Smash Hit Carnival, eating delicious bbq from Big Rod’s BBQ, and taking in the beautiful views at the ranch. The day was better than we could have imagined!

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: I can’t pick out one favorite part. The entire day was just amazing! Overall, being able to share each part of the day with the most important people in our tribe was an incredible blessing.

Special Memories: Our first look, Our first dance, Sunset pictures in the field, Spending the morning getting ready with my girls, Feeling so much love from everyone that came to celebrate with us!

What advice would you give to future brides?: Make plans, but be okay with flexibility when change.

Flowers aren't just for bouquets!

, ,

Flowers and weddings go hand in hand! It’s an element that allows your personality to shine through. Finding a great florist is a surefire way to add an artistic element to your big day that is sure to make an impact.

Often times, brides think about flowers in their bouquet, or maybe even their centerpieces, but rarely do they consider other possibilities. One area that flowers have long been overlooked: the bridal party! We’re not talking traditional bridesmaids bouquets, nope! It’s time to get the guys involved.

boutonniere.jpg

We had the honor of partnering with some incredible local vendors to do this styled shoot, and we instantly fell in love with the florals elements for our guys. Design House Florals created these custom, one of a kind pieces for us to showcase alongside our menswear collection. These pocket squares and lapel arrangements are such a fresh take on the classic boutonniere. And dare we say, so much more stylish!

Now that your entire wedding party is decked out with incredible florals, you can start thinking about your ceremony space. Adding flowers to your altar or creating a custom wedding altar is one way to add even more personality to your wedding day. Not to mention, it makes for absolutely stunning photo opportunities for the couple as well as for their guests.

We love the use of flowers to help elevate your day to match your vision. Whether you add a couple of blooms, opt for silk flowers, have no flowers at all, or add floral elements to every part of your design, this is such a cool way to let your personality shine.

Cheers to all of your wedding plans! May they be fully in bloom.
