Madison + Ethan

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 (:”

Kristin + Matthew

On July 18, 2024, Kristin and Matthew celebrated their love at the Spokane Tribe Casino, right on the center stage! It was the very first wedding to be held there and it was perfect! A beautiful blend of wood flowers in shades of purple, silver and black. Every detail was handcrafted, from the bouquets and boutonnieres to the delicious cupcakes baked by Kristin’s mom! It was everything the couple had dreamed of and more. Truly an unforgettable day! Congratulations Kirstin and Matthew! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Kristin’s dress journey began right here at Believe Bride. She came in knowing one thing for sure: she wanted all the sparkle. With Meagan’s help, she narrowed her options down to three gowns, each beautiful in their own way. But one dress kept pulling her back; a shimmering stunner that sparkled in just the right silver tones she loved. Even though it was at the high end of her budget, Kristin knew it was the one. With a few custom alterations, the gown became truly hers: a corset back and halter-style top crafted from the extra fabric transformed the look into something made just for her. The best part? Watching her daughters’ and mom’s faces light up with tears of joy when she said yes to the dress!

The wedding itself was a beautiful blend of heartfelt moments and fun surprises. Kristin and Matt included her daughters in a touching sand ceremony to symbolize the uniting of their family, creating a memory that brought the whole room to tears. As a surprise for Matt, a snippet of the Star Wars theme played just before Kristin walked down the aisle, adding a playful touch. Guests enjoyed a lively photo booth, DIY sparkle-filled centerpieces, and cupcakes lovingly made by Kristin’s mom. To wow their family and friends, the bridal party even took line dancing lessons before the wedding, kicking off an evening of nonstop fun on the dance floor.

From heartfelt speeches to dancing with both her dad and her 98-year-old grandfather, Kristin’s wedding was filled with moments she’ll cherish forever.

Her advice for future brides? “Don’t spend a fortune on the wedding. Enjoy your day and don’t be stressed because it goes by so fast. I loved every second of my wedding & I was definitely shopping around and DIY-ing as much as humanly possible to keep the costs down. Don’t feel obligated to pay for drinks, we didn’t & our guests paid for the drinks themselves. We paid for dinner & dancing.”

Elyssa + Jeff

Elyssa and Jeff Eickstadt tied the knot on August 3, 2024, with a stunning celebration at the Manito Rose Gardens. Surrounded by vibrant, locally grown flowers and a large wedding party (including the most adorable flower girls and ring bearers) the day felt timeless and full of joy. Congratulations Elyssa and Jeff! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

From the moment Elyssa saw her Believe Bride gown, Leona, on the hanger, she was captivated by its dreamy organza ruching. Once she put it on, she couldn’t stop twirling! It was everything she imagined and more.

Some of her favorite moments included a heartfelt first look and a unique touch during the reception: their DJ shared their love story before their first dance, creating an unforgettable memory.

Her advice for future brides? “Pack comfy shoes for the reception! You’ll thank yourself later!”

Tristina + Vern

Tristina and Vern celebrated their love on August 3, 2024, with a beautiful country-boho wedding at her parents’ home in Coeur d’Alene, ID. Their day was filled with warmth, terracotta and emerald green tones, and the love of family all around. Congratulations Tristina and Vern! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Vern’s proposal was just as heartfelt! He got down on one knee on a bridge at Riverfront Park with their children watching, giving Tristina the perfect, family-centered moment she always dreamed of.

From the second she tried on her Believe Bride gown, Tristina knew it was the one. She felt radiant in it and couldn’t wait for Vern’s reaction. On the big day, she was surrounded by loved ones who looked amazing, but one of the most unforgettable surprises came when her aunt organized a flash mob at the reception, an unexpected and joyful highlight!

Her advice for future brides? “Relax and enjoy your day. There is nothing you can do when your big day comes!”

Madisen + Alec

Madisen and Alec Cole tied the knot on July 27, 2024 in Kalispell, MT. Alec proposed more than two years earlier on a mountaintop in Montana, just before the start of the school year, a perfect beginning for these two teachers.

When it came to finding her dress, Madisen’s experience at Believe Bride stood out above the rest. With the help of her stylist, Jaeden, she felt truly listened to and guided, making the journey unforgettable.

Their wedding day was a modern celebration with timeless touches, lush greenery, sage green accents, galvanized details, and glimmers of gold. Among the many special memories, Madisen especially treasures the first look with Alec and dancing the night away surrounded by loved ones. A touching highlight was the anniversary dance, where her grandparents, married for 59 years, were the last ones on the floor, a moment of love and legacy they will always cherish. Congratulations Madisen and Alec! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Elli + Ty

Ellie and Ty Black’s love story came full circle in the most breathtaking way with their Glacier National Park wedding. Ty proposed during a waterfall hike, surrounded by a few of his closest friends, champagne, and memories preserved on disposable cameras. When it came time to find her dress, Ellie discovered “the one” at Believe Bride in our stunning Fiona gown, a part of our Catherine James line!

Their July 29th wedding day was an outdoorsy dream, with a heartfelt ceremony at the Apgar Amphitheater overlooking Lake McDonald, followed by a lively reception at Great Northern Resort. Loved ones traveled from all over the country to celebrate their free-spirited love story. Special touches made the day uniquely theirs: custom cornhole boards from Ellie’s uncle and hockey sticks for their guest book, a nod to how they first met at the University of Idaho’s hockey team. It was a day full of adventure, love, and unforgettable memories. Congratulations Ellie and Ty! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Kassie + Gaston

On June 23, 2024, Kassie and Gaston tied the knot at the charming Quail Run Ranch in Newport, WA—a venue complete with a main house, rustic barn, and wide-open fields dotted with cattle. Their boho-meets-country celebration was simple, relaxed, and full of personal touches, from the vintage-inspired décor to a one-of-a-kind cattle hide branding during the ceremony, symbolizing their new life as a family with their son. Kassie’s dress journey was just as memorable—what she once jokingly called the “tablecloth dress” on the hanger became the one the moment she tried it on. The day was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments like her grandpa’s blessing, and even a surprise “Danger Zone” garter toss for her pilot groom. Congratulations Kassie & Gaston! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Her advice for future brides? “Relax! Things will go wrong, but the way you react is the key to your day being stressful vs not.”

Paige + Scott

Paige and Scott’s love story came full circle on July 20, 2024, when they said “I do” at the glamorous Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas. Overlooking the dazzling Strip from their wedding suite, the couple exchanged vows in front of a small, cherished group of family and friends, just as they dreamed! One of their best friends officiated, and the evening was timed perfectly to watch the sun set behind the city skyline before the Bellagio fountains came to life. Paige’s pearl-accented gown, Perla by Casablanca Bridal, felt destined for her the moment she paired it with a treasured family heirloom bracelet from her mother-in-law. The day was filled with love, joy, and heartfelt support, making it as unforgettable as the city lights that sparkled around them. Congratulations Paige & Scott! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part of the wedding was walking through the resort taking our wedding pictures, being able to look at the man that I love and knowing that we get to spend the rest of our life together. I found myself day dreaming of our marriage.

Special Memories! My mother in law was my rock that day while we were getting ready. She calmed my nerves and held me in moments that I cried. As I don’t have a great relationship with my own mom and had to deal with hurt from her the day of wedding, my mother in law stepped up and gave me the mothers love that I needed.

What advice would you give to future brides? Focus on what you and you future husband want for your wedding…if you want something small and a destination, I highly recommend it. That day should be focused on the both of you, don’t stress about what other people want. Also remember as exciting as a wedding is, the marriage is the most exciting part.

Inside, wine barrels, glowing white lights, and the buzz of loved ones created a cozy yet elegant reception space.
