Bri + Josh

On May 26th, Bri and Josh tied the knot at the picturesque Beacon Hill, creating a wedding that truly felt like them. With a palette of their favorite colors, an outdoor venue, and fun games for their guests, the day was filled with joy and celebration—exactly what they had hoped for. Bri especially cherished dancing and celebrating with all her family and friends, making the day even more special. A unique highlight was the "first catch" with her dad, where they donned Cubs jerseys and tossed a baseball back and forth, a playful and heartfelt way to honor their bond without the pressure of a traditional slow dance. Congratulations Bri and Josh! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! My friend took me on a sunrise hike and Josh was at the top of the hill to propose to me as the sun was rising!

The Dress! I loved the buttons on the back of my dress, the square neckline, and the fitted design. It was everything I wanted so when I tried it on I knew it was the one!

The Big Day! We really wanted our wedding to feel like us and we were able to accomplish this with a palette including our favorite colors, an outdoor venue, and games that we knew our guests would enjoy! It was very joyous and a true celebration which is exactly what we hoped for.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? I really enjoyed dancing and celebrating with all of my family and friends. It was so special to have everyone you love in the same space.

Special Memories! I had a “first catch” rather than a first dance with my dad where we put on Cubs jerseys and threw a baseball back and forth a few times. It was a very fun way to acknowledge his role in my life and not feel like we had to force ourselves to slow dance!

What advice would you give to future brides? Don’t feel like you need to do anything a specific way! Make your wedding feel like YOU.

Alexis + Gregory

On the 6th of April, Alexis and Gregory celebrated their love in a beautiful, intimate wedding with their closest friends and family, each moment bringing everyone closer together. The florals provided the perfect backdrop for this stunning occasion, creating an atmosphere that was a perfect blend of love and happiness. Surrounded by those who mattered most, Alexis and Gregory's special day was filled with joy, laughter, and an abundance of sweet memories. Congratulations Alexis and Gregory!

The Proposal! Well. My proposal was perfect, for me. My HUSBAND (weird saying it lol) got my family involved in it. I was totally tricked. He proposed October 28 2022 during our annual family pumpkin carving get together. My family tricked me into thinking it was a contest for best pumpkin, but it wasn’t. My husband got my parents and aunt involved. They got a faux pumpkin and cricket cut the words “Will You Marry Me” on it. Next thing I knew he was on one knee.

The Dress! I chose my dress because I could see it in my
Mom’s face the one was perfect. My dress was something I didn’t think I would want. I wanted something with no straps or off the shoulder and something more boho, but instead I got a spaghetti strapped princess dress that fit my wedding perfectly.

The Big Day! My wedding was very spring garden. I love flowers they’re my favorite thing so the focus on florals was important.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part of my wedding was how it ended up being just family and a few close friends. We had an unexpected event that devastated our family dynamic that in a way brought us close together. It only felt right to have our 250+ wedding cut into 30 important people. (I have a huge family lol)

Special Memories! A special memory would be our best man and maid of honor speeches. We chose people who are typically on the quiet side and theirs speeches both meant the world to us. Especially the speech given by my cousin/MOH she brought up a life time of memories that I will cherish forever.

What advice would you give to future brides? Some advice would be to enjoy it. Even if you feel things aren’t perfect, just enjoy the moment and be excited you’re marrying the person that brings out the best in you.

The Big Day! Our wedding was amazing! It flew by but we had so much fun! The weather was perfect with little sprinkles before the ceremony and the prettiest sunshine when it was time to walk down the aisle it was a super simple wedding but just enough for us!

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part of our wedding was our cake! We had a tiered Nothing Bundt cakes, cake and it was simple but so beautiful and yummy

Special Memories My favorite memory was walking down the aisle and realizing all these people were here because they all love us and support me and my husband tremendously

What advice would you give to future brides? If something doesn’t go right on your wedding, no one will know but you because you are the only one that planned it😁

Angelena + Ivan

Angelena and Ivan's wedding on the 7th of October was a beautiful blend of tradition and personal touches. The vibrant colorful florals added a touch of whimsy, while including their dog as the wedding party brought a heartfelt charm. Opting for a pizza cutting instead of the usual cake cutting added a fun and unexpected twist to the celebration. The couple's special day was filled with moments that reflected their personalities, making it a memorable and joyous occasion for all who attended. Congratulations Angelena and Ivan! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! The original plan was to propose at Disney in 2020! Instead, he brought Disney to me at a family cabin and asked me in front of all our friends and family :)

The Dress! My dress made me feel the best I’ve ever felt! I knew I wanted something to support the girls but flowy on the bottom so I can get my boogie on and not worry about comfort! (I seriously didn’t want to take my dress off when it was time to leave, that’s how comfortable it was!!) Alexa made me feel so welcomed and even though we showed up an hour early, my mom and I were taken right away! She was so helpful and picked some great options! I had a top two and looking back in the photos, I made a face on the one and only dress, so it was meant to be :)

The Big Day! We had an amazing wedding!! The best one I’ve been to, and we are the last of both our friends to get married, so we knew what was important and what wasn’t something to get hung up on! I’m very lucky to have a partner who cared equally on what was happening and having an opinion! No matter how many arguments :) we had ZERO wedding parties. Our dog was our “wedding party” and it was the best decision ever! We went bold in our color choices and asked everyone to wear black to contrast the brightness. We also took a unity shot of tequila during our ceremony and it helped calmed the nerves! We talk about it at least once a month that we wish we could relive that day because it was the smoothest loveliest day ever <3

What was your favorite part of your wedding? Instead of a cake cutting scenario, we did a pizza cutting moment! It’s so fun to look back at and see the love we have for each other and pizza!

Special Memories! We took dance lessons for our first dance! We practiced so much and would get close but not all the way nail it. Well, we did one last rehearsal and we killed it! And then continued to kill it during the big moment! It was so cool to bond over dance lessons and how comforting it is to be on their arms :)

What advice would you give to future brides? DO WHAT YOU WANT!!!! Don’t let anyone tell you how you wedding should be if it’s not what you want. You won’t make everyone happy but for the ones who matter most, they will support you the most! You hope to only have to plan one wedding, so why not make it exactly HOW YOU WANT IT <3

Ava + Coleman

Ava and Coleman exchanged heartfelt vows on November 11th, 2022, during a private and intimate ceremony, surrounded by their closest family members. This special day was even more meaningful as Ava's father, who was battling cancer, was able to witness their union. As they celebrated their first anniversary the following year, their joy was shared with friends and family, creating an atmosphere of love and togetherness. The anniversary celebration was filled with heartfelt toasts, laughter, and memorable moments, including a special dance between Ava and her mom. Despite the challenges they faced, Ava and Coleman's love and connection shone brightly on this joyous occasion. Their best advice for any couple getting married is to not stress over the little things. It will all come together and you won’t even remember it afterwards!! Congratulations Ava and Coleman! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Emily + Robbie

On the 8th of October, Emily and Robbie celebrated their special day in the serene setting of the Japanese Gardens at Manito Park. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the intimate ceremony was filled with touching moments that will be cherished forever. Following the heartfelt vows, the festivities continued at the vibrant reception held at the Hampton Inn. The atmosphere transformed into a lively celebration with games, dancing, and laughter filling the air. Guests enjoyed delicious food and created many joyous and unforgettable moments that truly captured the couples spirits! Congratulations Emily and Robbie! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

The Proposal! We recreated our first date :) Lunch at Neato Burrito, walking around downtown and going to Indaba and Boo Radley's. Then we went up to the Japanese gardens and Manito and Robbie proposed on the bridge. This ended up being the spot where we would get married!

The Dress! I didn't really know what I wanted, just that I wanted it to be comfortable and fun! I wanted our wedding to be whimsical and a little unique, just like us. I tried on several dresses and fell in love with two. My bridal party was there, and they were taking pictures, they showed me a picture of how my face lit up when I had first tried on one of the dresses, so that showed me that was the one. It was such a wonderful day with my girlfriends, and I am so happy I went to Believe Bride!

The Big Day! We had a small private ceremony with just our closest family and friends at the Japanese Gardens at Manito. It was early October, so the colors were absolutely gorgeous, and the weather was perfect! I did have to be careful not to get mud on my dress and shoes, but it was worth it for how beautiful it was! The aisle was basically walking over the bridge, and then we got married on the rocks right next to the water. For the reception, we just wanted to have fun! We ordered olive garden catering for dinner, and it was delicious, and then had a cake and cupcakes made by Botanical Bites, a vegan bakery out in the valley. Our DJ's name was Rick from New Beginnings and he was so much fun. We had games during dinner, including a dance off and newlywed game. After dinner we had our first dance and just enjoyed partying with friends and family! Our colors were purple and silver but most importantly, we tried to keep everything as simple as possible so we could just enjoy the day. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted!

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part of the wedding was our private last dance. Our DJ had everyone leave to line up in the hallway for our grand exit and we were able to dance alone to one of our favorite songs. It was very romantic and just wonderful to get to spend that time with just the two of us to end the day.

Special Memories! We did this hilarious dance off during dinner where our DJ pretended that the bridesmaids and groomsmen were doing to be blindfolded and have a dance off to determine whether guys or girls got to get dinner first. It was actually a plan to prank the best man! So, they all got up and put on the blindfolds, but then when the music started everyone quietly took off their blindfolds and sat down, except the best man who was dancing his heart out while everyone cheered him on! It was hilarious and really fun.

What advice would you give to future brides? To just enjoy it. And to not overwhelm yourself with so many plans that it takes away from being able to enjoy the day.

Haylie + Jordan

Haylie and Jordan's wedding on the 14th of October was a beautiful blend of country chic and modern style. The rustic details harmonized perfectly with contemporary touches, creating an enchanting ambiance for their special day. Surrounded by loved ones, the couple cherished heartfelt moments that will be remembered for a lifetime. Haylie's choice of doing first looks with her family added a sentimental touch to the day, culminating in a touching first touch and personal vow reading with Jordan that encapsulated the deep love they share. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Congratulations Haylie and Jordan! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

The Prospal! Asked me to go golfing (something I love, he is learning to love) on my day off. My husband is more of the spontaneous type, I am the planner. The day we were going golfing, he asked if I wanted to go on a small hike down to a waterfall before we golfed, I said sure. We went down this small trail close to the Indian Trail Golf Course and once we got down there (not much of a waterfall because it was the end of summer), I walked closer to the waterfall and when I turned around, he was on one knee and asked me to marry him!

The Dress! Believe Bride was my first wedding dress shop! The journey actually starts with my friend getting engaged and asking me to go to the Spokane Bridal Convention with her. We were walking through the convention and looking at wedding dresses, I saw this one dress and said "I am gonna need to try that on if I ever get married.". Fast forward to 2-3 months later, I scheduled a few appointments at a couple different shops, but Believe was my first. Was helped out by Alexa who really wanted to know what I wanted. I was personally open to any style and just wanted to know what would look best on my body type, but gave her the description of boho, country. I had tried on about 6-8 dresses and then she was carrying the one I had seen at the convention and I yelled "I want to try that one on!! It's the one I saw at the convention." She explained that it was a couple sizes too small but she would see if they had my size in the store. Unfortunately, they didn't have my size, but I was DETERMINED. She helped me out, and by GOD I got that sucker on and I knew it was my dress. Got it ordered and it was perfect!!!

The Big Day! I am country, my husband is more modern. I would describe our wedding as boho, modern, country chic; hints of country, and hints of the more modern details. Trezzi Farm and Winery was the perfect place for our wedding, had the industrial barn that was the perfect mix of country and modern design, not to mention the beautiful view and little touches to make it amazing. It was everything we had hoped and more.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? That is a difficult one... My favorite moment was probably our first touch/personal vows. It was our first moment all dressed up and alone together and it truly calmed both of us down.

Special Memories! First looks were probably my favorite. I did one with everyone except for my husband.

What advice would you give to future brides? Do what you want to do. Specific to wedding dress shopping, do not try and lose an unrealistic amount of weight to fit the picture you had in your mind on how you would look on your wedding day. Be happy. Wedding planning is stress enough. Be happy with who your husband asked to marry, he/she will love you no matter what! Don't let anyone influence you out of what you want! Better yet, if you have people that are super opinionated around you, don't share what you're gonna do! Trust me haha.

Lily + Jordan

Lily and Jordan's wedding on the 2nd of December 2023 exuded an intimate and heartfelt ambiance, creating a truly special experience. The cozy atmosphere was enhanced by the inclusion of fur shawls, adding a touch of warmth and elegance to the occasion. The thoughtful inclusion of a mug wall for favors added a personal and memorable element to the celebration. The open mic for speeches provided a platform for cherished moments as friends and family shared sweet and touching words, leaving a lasting impression on the newlyweds and guests alike. Overall, the evening was a perfect blend of warmth, sentiment, and joy, making it a cherished memory for all who attended. Congratulations Lily and Jordan! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! Our proposal was during a ATV ride up to the falls in Clark Fork, Idaho. My ATV had broken down halfway through the ride up there, but my fiancé was determined to get me up to the peak despite my efforts to return back to the house. On our ride there, our whole family was awaiting us and even the kids picked flowers to give to me. He got down on one knee and said, "I promised you I would propose where the huckleberry grow for years"!

The Dress! I had Joanna, my dear friend and stylist, help me pick out my dress. I came in wanting a ballgown but left with the wild card pull that my sister encouraged me to try on! I would've never thought I would look so beautiful in something of that silhouette and it truly made me feel beautiful. I cried and then I knew it was the one!

The Big Day! We tried to make the vibe as cozy and warm as possible for Christmas. We had a mug wall for our guests to take as favors and our neon photo wall guest book was a hit! We also did not see each other until I walked down the aisle the whole day so his reaction was so special.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part was doing open mic for speeches! Everyone was so touching and those who wanted to share kind words and thoughts had the chance to.

Special Memories! I had a first look with my dad and his reaction definitely made me cry! During our father-daughter dance we also had a moment where we got to dance to my song with him.
A funny moment - when my husband blew the champagne up and made a huge mess on the dance floor before Toasts!

What advice would you give to future brides? Do not worry about anyone else but you and your person. This is your day and enjoy every moment as it goes by in a blink of an eye!
