Once the doors to the chapel opened, Emily was captivated by the eyes of her future husband staring at her the whole way down the aisle.

Here are the maids, all in champagne colored, floor length strapless gowns. I also love that they all have matching sock buns! You don’t see matching hair often but it definitely worked here <3 .

The reception was filled with simple details like this gorgeous cake. I love that they used a Willow Tree figurine as a cake topper! It can be used to decorate their home after the special day.

From the Bride:

What was your favorite detail of the day? “When we lit the unity candle… It was so beautiful symbolizing us becoming one flesh. That’s what marriage is all about!”
What advice would you give to a bride to be? “My advice for the bride would be, if something goes wrong at your wedding, laugh it off because what matters most is that you are marrying the one that your soul loves.”
