The Proposal of Rachel & Trey

Trey and Rachel’s story is quite interesting! They actually met through football. Trey recruited Rachel’s brother when he was still in high school, and that’s how Rachel’s parents were introduced to him. Her mother fell in love with Trey and decided to play matchmaker by giving him her Instagram account. Trey followed Rachel, and she followed him back. They exchanged messages on Instagram, which eventually led to exchanging phone numbers. After a few weeks, they finally met up in Florida, and they talked all night. The rest, as they say, is history!
The engagement was quite romantic, too. Trey proposed to Rachel on December 31, 2020, in the lobby of The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans. They had visited the city together earlier in the year and found this fantastic restaurant called Domenica Restaurant in the hotel. Before dinner, they decided to check out the Christmas decorations in the hotel and grab a drink. While walking through the lobby, Trey got down on one knee and proposed. He had a professional photographer hiding to capture pictures of the magical moment!

The Wedding of Rachel & Trey

Trey and Rachel’s wedding was an enchanting affair that perfectly captured the beauty of Cincinnati. The festivities began with a stunning view of the city skyline from Paycor Stadium. The couple then exchanged their vows in a breathtaking ceremony at St. Xavier Church, with soaring ceilings and ornate stained glass windows. After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their wedding party took advantage of the stunning Art Museum Steps for a memorable photo session. The reception was magical, with twinkling lights and gorgeous floral arrangements that brought warmth and elegance to the festivities. The food and drinks were beyond delicious, and the dance floor was packed all night. It was a celebration of love and all the beautiful things that make Cincinnati a special place.

Bridal & Formal

Experience

My experience at Bridal and Formal was genuinely unique! Despite being late due to traffic, the staff was incredibly understanding and welcoming. They even accommodated my larger group, which was such a relief. This was my first and only dress appointment, and I was lucky enough to find the perfect dress! Although it was initially out of my budget, they worked with me to find a price that fit within my budget. They have a vast selection of stunning dresses that make you feel like a princess.
My bridal stylist, Lacrecia, was an absolute gem! She listened to my preferences and pulled out the most gorgeous dresses for me to try. After trying on several dresses, I still couldn’t find “the one,” but Lacrecia suggested a dress different from what I had envisioned, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! She made me feel beautiful, and I couldn’t be happier with my dress. Lacrecia was genuinely fantastic and made my experience unforgettable.
