Welcome back to the Ivory Bride Blog, where we share stories about our real brides and their gorgeous weddings! In today's post, our real bride's wedding was the perfect blend of simplicity and romance, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Opting for a nontraditional approach, she and her partner shared a heartfelt first look hours before the ceremony, allowing for extra quality time together on their special day. From a unity shot during the ceremony to a champagne toast with their guests, every moment was filled with joy and love. Her advice to future brides? Focus on the big picture and let go of the little details—after all, the memories you make are what truly matter!


By our real bride, Makayla:


What was the vision for your wedding?

Simple, with lots of flowers. I read blogs and looked at reviews.


How did it go the day-of?

It was very nontraditional! It was the best day ever and we did our first look 4 hours before it started so we got to spend a lot of time together. We did a unity shot and had our guests "cheers" with us with champagne!


What is your #1 tip to future brides?

Don’t stress over the little things. No one is going to remember what table decor you had. LOL!
