“David completely surprised me by proposing while on a Sunday morning walk along the beach in Elwood. David tried so hard to make it a private moment for us, but it didn\u2019t work as passers-by yelled out \u201cCongratulations!\u201d’<\/p>\n

“I was devastated when I started looking for a dress, I didn\u2019t like anything. Then I found Belle et Blanc where I had several dresses to choose from! It was an easy decision though, I loved my dress!”<\/p>\n

“I envisioned a beautiful summer afternoon and something simple with pops of color. The Emerson was our first thought as it\u2019s truly the perfect classy rooftop. Crisp white tables and chairs on top of synthetic grass giving an easy \u201cSunday lunch\u201d feeling. Then we added bright flowers and buckets of colored shots to get the party started. It turned out better than I imagined.”<\/p>\n

“The whole day was amazing. I remember sitting down for lunch and thinking, \u201cTake a moment to look around.\u201d All of the smiling and laughing from our loved ones was all we wanted for our wedding day, and that\u2019s what we got.”<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t stress so much, it really isn\u2019t worth it. Enjoy the process, but don\u2019t make it harder than it has to be and make sure it\u2019s what you want. You\u2019re the bride, it\u2019s your day! Remember that this is your day.”<\/p>\n
