“To my beautiful bride”, Dan wrote. His letter to Stephanie was heartfelt, true and beautiful. Handwritten letters are a rarity nowadays and to receive one on ones wedding day is extra special : ) A romantic at heart, Dan adores Stephanie. Truly. It’s like he has struck gold and diamonds and cherishes every moment with her. After months of being hundreds of miles apart, they finally said I DO in front of their closest family and friends. Every detail was well thought out- starting from the absolutely gorgeous ring he chose for her, to the monogrammed, bright blush pink purse he gave her as a wedding day gift. Blush, blush. Her vision was centered around the letter M for their last name (she says it well and proudly) and the colors blush and ivory. She wanted everything to feel and look romantic, elegant and sparkly! No less.
Stephanie’s ‘Primor’ ball gown by Pronovias featured a feathered effect bodice, so soft and breathtaking, to say the least! Definitely not for a wallflower bride. This dress screams, “Fabulous!!” and then some…. its layers of silk tulle skirt looked like pure cotton candy and clouds. So incredibly gorgeous! Ok, I can go on and on about this dress but Stephanie made it look absolutely AWE-inspiring! Definitely one of my all-time favorite dresses to photograph ; )
Stephanie’s accessories for her all-out look. More sparkle ; ) and not to mention her sweet, sweet bouquet by talented Heather Francis. The hand tied assemble was a collection of soft pink roses, white calla lilies, mini cream/ green roses and accented with cream, wide satin ribbon and brooch detail. LOVE!
Yes, shoes for the prettiest feet. Shoes to dance all night : )
This dress (bodice) will be iconic.
Words? No words needed.
* Love letter *
Dan and the guys. Formal to the nines!
Dan has waited (very patiently) for this day for a VERY long time. He was excited and from what I could tell, not a bit nervous. It was time.
Stephanie & Dan: THANK YOU both so much for the honor of sharing your wonderful day with you and your families. We wish you many more love letters and hand kisses!
