Abby + Jacob

Happy Anniversary to these two! A year ago, on August 8, 2020, these two said I do in one of the most beautiful weddings we have seen. We know that the past year hasn’t been the easiest, but we hope that being newlyweds made it a little bit special.

Cheers!

The Proposal: Jake had a perfect date night planned out - a fancy dinner at a really expensive restaurant followed by a walk at our favorite spot. Plans changed as we saw amazing looking pizza on the way and went for that, then got some ice cream. We continued to watch the sunset at one of our favorite spots, Table Rock. Jake popped the question and there was no hesitancy to say YES!

The Big Day: Our wedding was amazing! It was truly a blend of both families coming together to help make it happen. It took place at my Uncle's ranch outside of Lewiston, Idaho in the Craig mountains. There's a 10 mile bumpy, dirt road up to the venue, so we really made our guests go on an adventure! Our ceremony was near the pond in the pines and our reception was just a walk away in a covered barn area for our guests. The theme was rustic chic and everything fit just that! Our colors were dusty blue and green, which was beautiful in this setting! It wouldn't have been possible without my mom and her friends who planned everything. It was hard work to get all the materials we needed up in the mountains, but it was amazing to see my whole family come together to help make it happen and make sure the day was perfect for us! And it truly was!!

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: I loved the ceremony. There were so many personal touches that all came together to make it so special - my sister sang as my parents walked me down the aisle, both our parents lit union candles, and our closest friends stood right next to us. Our pastor said to Jake and I, "Before we get to it, take a look at everyone around you. Look at how many people made the trip to be here for you guys." And it was truly how I imagined my wedding day - simply amazing!

Special Memories: I loved getting ready with my girls beforehand! Since we were out in the mountains, there was a 'Guys' trailer and a 'Gals' trailer for us to get ready in. We were all in one spot together and maybe a little more close and personal than planned! This made it super fun though!

The shoe game had to be one of my favorite parts of the ceremony! It was so fun to have everyone laughing along with us.

The food was amazing - bbq and mac and cheese! I didn't get a whole lot of time to eat so it was special to be able to sit down and enjoy it for about 5 minutes.

The cake was absolutely perfect and delicious! It was so special because it was made by our aunt's! It was fun to watch the whole process and see how it all came together.

My grandma Rosie was very close to me and she passed a short time ago. My Aunt's assured me she was there as a beautiful butterfly flew down the aisle to Jake and I as he kissed the bride!

What advice would you give to future brides?: It is important to have your vision and everything you want your day to look like. But once it comes, just relax and enjoy it, no matter what! There's nothing more you can do, and some things may be not be perfect, but that doesn't matter anymore. It's about you and your husband, and the family surrounding you! The one thing you remember for years to come is how you felt throughout the whole day - which is pure happiness!

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.

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!

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.

In the past, rental tuxedos were…less than stylish. Even now when we mention tux rentals to our couples, they all cringe a little bit. But that isn’t the case anymore! In today’s wedding world, we know that menswear needs to be stylish and fashionable, comfortable, flattering, and anything but boring! You deserve better!

That’s where we come in! We have a several styles, multiple colors, and enough accessories to customize your look for whatever feeling you’re going for.

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.

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.

Thanks! It Has Pockets!

As far as wedding dress trends are concerned, pockets in your dress has to be one of our favorites! It’s one of the best moments when we get to see a bride step into a beautiful dress that she’s starting to fall in love with, and then BAM! We mention, “Guess what? It also has…POCKETS!”

So we put together a couple of our favorite wedding dresses with this fun feature. And, as an added bonus, all of these dresses are part of our Private Label line, meaning you won’t find these dresses at any other shop nearby!

5 Ideas to Make Your Mini-Mony Magical

With big weddings not being an option for a lot of brides, we have seen a growing trend in small, intimate ceremonies, elopements, or mini-monies! These small events still pack a big punch, and are turning out some of the coolest ideas we have seen! Here are just a few of our favorites!

mini ceremony

  1. Find Your Splurge Worthy Moment: Take this opportunity to go all out on something that you wouldn’t necessarily be able to splurge on if you were hosting a huge event! Maybe that means you buy the extravagant dress you always wanted, or you cater in a gourmet dinner, or maybe you hire that private band! This is your chance to go crazy! Ride in on a unicorn maybe, and then make sure you get TONS of pictures.

  2. Don’t Skip the Photographer: You still want to make sure that you have lifelong mementos of this amazing day. An amazing photographer can give you images that you can not only share with your friends and family who couldn’t make it to the ceremony, but also you’ll have them to look back on forever!

  3. Take the Wedding Off Site: Since you’re only hosting a handful of people, think about taking your wedding to a location you might not have been able to otherwise! One of our brides decided to get married on top of a mountain, and go skiing on her wedding day, in her wedding dress! Maybe your dream wedding is actually on a paddle board in the middle of the lake, or at the base of a waterfall. The possibilities are endless!

  4. Get the Whole Party Dressed Up: This is a rare opportunity to have your entire wedding ceremony all dressed in coordinating wardrobe! Think about it, you can now have every single photo perfectly coordinated with your wedding colors, and every attendee gets the chance to be a bridesmaid or groomsmen.

  5. Get creative With the Wedding Party: Dog best man? Don’t mind if I do! With a smaller audience, consider having grandma be your flower girl, or mom be your maid of honor! What if you had your grandpa as your ring bearer? I’m getting teary eyed just thinking about it! This is the perfect chance to do something non-traditional.
