A Tale of Elegance: Celebrating Love with Samantha & Michael

From Chance Encounters to Everlasting Vows: Samantha & Michael's Inspirational Wedding Journey

Samantha and Michael’s wedding was a celebration of love and elegance with every detail meticulously curated to reflect their unique style and vision. From the stunning venue adorned with lush florals to Samantha’s breathtaking wedding gown, every aspect of their special day exuded timeless charm and modern sophistication.

Samantha’s journey to finding the perfect wedding dress was a testament to the importance of inclusivity in bridal fashion. As a plus-size bride, she sought out designers and boutiques that celebrated all body types, ultimately discovering a gown that perfectly complemented her curves while embodying the latest wedding trends. With delicate lace detailing, and a romantic silhouette, Samantha’s gown was a true expression of her personal style.

All of the florals that we used for decor were from the gardens of moms, grandmas, aunts and friends in our lives. We loved being able to share the gardens of such inspiring women in our lives on that day.
