Real weddings are extremely inspiring! To get you in the mood to plan, we asked real brides to spill the facts from getting engaged to finding their wedding gowns to the special touches and surprising moments that made their celebrations completely one-of-a-kind. Read on for Natalie Clevelands outdoor fairytale wedding in South Carolina.
Cleveland and I met through my cousin. She was dating among his friends at that time and explained that he was built with a really good guy friend that I should meet. Well, she was right while he truly was the main one for me!
We got engaged early on within the pandemic we'd been together for three years at this point and also have a son. COIVD-19 put things into perspective. He proposed over text while at the office. He said it hit him when I was gone tomorrow that I wouldnt be his wife.
From the beginning, I knew I wanted a form-fitting dress that was elegant but went in the opposite direction. I was left with a full beautiful dress that I adore. I wanted something which I felt good and confident in which was it. Cleveland knew he wanted a twist on the classic monochrome tux. He kept his look casual by omitting a tie.
Yes, most probably to fit different styles. I did not end up getting what I thought I wanted. Choose the dress you are feeling most confident and comfy in.
I loved that the alterations team at feeltimes' dresses could add a belt to my bohemian wedding dress. This helped out a great deal it had been one less thing to consider. I loved all the beading during my dress. Weddings are costly, choose stuff that you KNOW you need to have and forget about the rest.
We limited the number of guests to 75. We had discussed marriage before I was actually engaged and that we knew wanted good friends and family there but COVID forced us to be selective with who we invited.
I did a semi-DIY gift for the wedding favors. We chose puzzle pieces because we're truly the feeltimes perfect fit and added magnets towards the back so they would be useful in the future. I also made my denim jacket. I love the bridal trends of getting your new last name in your jacket, so I needed to do it.
Hire each day of coordinator regardless of what. I thought I could get it done all but I couldnt. You cant be in two places at the same time. It was so useful to have someone beyond a family member looking after things. This allowed my loved ones to seem like they were in a position to enjoy the wedding without having to work the marriage. If youre planning for a wedding post-COVID, keep in mind that life is short, make the marriage day in regards to you and your spouse.
