Alyson & Gage: A Timeless Outdoor Wedding in Oxford, Florida

After feeling discouraged at traditional bridal boutiques, Alyson found the confidence she was searching for at Curve Bridal in Jacksonville. Read the story of her outdoor Florida wedding with Gage, her custom Studio Levana gown, and the journey to finding a dress that truly felt like her.

High school sweethearts Alyson and Gage celebrated their wedding beneath the oak trees of Oxford, Florida, creating a day filled with meaningful moments, timeless style, and the people they love most.

Some love stories begin early and only grow stronger with time. Alyson and Gage met in high school and have been together ever since, building a relationship that eventually led to a beautiful outdoor wedding in Oxford, Florida.

Surrounded by family, friends, and towering oak trees, they created a celebration that reflected who they are as a couple. Every detail, from the heartfelt ceremony to the vintage getaway car and personal touches throughout the day, made the wedding feel effortlessly authentic. It was a celebration of the life they had already built together and the exciting future still ahead.

 

For Alyson, wedding dress shopping wasn’t something she looked forward to. Having struggled with body confidence, she was nervous about finding a gown that truly fit both her body and her vision.

Her first experience at a traditional bridal boutique left her discouraged. Although the store carried dresses that could technically fit, the options were limited, and many gowns required extra panels just to be tried on properly. Instead of helping her imagine herself as a bride, the appointment only made her feel more uncertain.

Everything changed when she visited Curve Bridal in Jacksonville.

There, Alyson discovered a boutique dedicated to curvy brides, where she finally had dresses that fit her body as they were designed to. With a wide range of styles to choose from, the experience became everything she had hoped wedding dress shopping would be.

“When my dress came in it was almost already a perfect fit. I got so many compliments on my dress—I was overwhelmed with it!”

Now that the wedding celebrations are behind them, Alyson and Gage are excited for their next chapter together continuing to grow their family and enjoy married life side by side.
