Jerry and Emelie’s love story is one for the books. It all began with a match on the popular dating app Hinge. While they did match as most recommended, their initial conversation didn’t start there. Emelie didn’t respond to Jerry’s message, so he assumed she wasn’t interested and moved on. However, fate had other plans. The next day, Jerry spotted Emelie at the gym and realized she was the girl he had messaged on the app. He mustered the courage to approach her and asked if she went to the same gym. Emelie didn’t respond immediately, but the following day, Jerry saw her again and decided to introduce himself. They hit it off, and the rest is history. Their first date was a fun-filled evening at Top Golf, complete with dinner, drinks, and good-natured teasing about each other’s swing.
Fast forward to their family ski trip to Aspen. Jerry had arranged for a photographer to take family photos, but little did Emelie know, he planned something much more significant. As they posed for their family photo, Jerry got down on one knee and proposed. Emelie said yes without hesitation, and they spent the next hour taking stunning engagement photos in the Aspen mountains.
Emelie and Jerry’s wedding was nothing short of perfect. Despite the chilly 25-degree weather, the sun shone, and everything fell into place. They got ready at the stunning Hotel Leveque and danced the night away at Jorgensen Farms.
The wedding was big and beautiful yet also small and simple, just as they wanted. They aimed for timeless style and for their guests to feel elevated while still belonging. Emelie and Jerry took charge of all the details, thrifted all their decor, and even found water goblets for each table.
Their memories were built not only during their wedding but also in the planning process. They searched high and low for the 200 water goblets, assembled their own photo booth, and bought their name seats from a vendor in Ukraine. Love was the driving force behind all their planning.
The ceremony was significant to Emelie and Jerry as her best friend from Kindergarten officiated it. Her words moved everyone, and friends and family still talk about how special it was. The “Unplugged” ceremony sign was respected, and Emelie and Jerry shared their personal vows with each other.
The night went by quickly, but they took the time to pause and look out at all their loved ones to see how much support they had in starting their new chapter. They ended the night with a solo dance to X Ambassadors’ “Hold You Down” in the greenhouse, followed by a sparkler exit. The party continued at The Goat Downtown until 3:00 am.
Emelie and Jerry’s wedding was everything they had dreamed of and more.
I couldn’t have been more grateful for Bridal and Formal! I felt hopeless after visiting three different boutiques in Columbus and coming up empty. That is until I went to Bridal and Formal. I was blown away by the sheer number of gowns and the expertise on display. Moreover, I left my “I’ll just try on a few” visit with my dream wedding dress in hand.
All of this wouldn’t have been possible without Lacrecia, my consultant. She absolutely nailed it. From helping me over the phone when I was searching for a designer to taking notes during our conversations, she went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress. She set boundaries that allowed me to make decisions on my own terms but also gave me honest advice when needed. What I appreciated most about Lacrecia was that she never came across as pushy or overbearing.
It was clear that Lacrecia took her job seriously and was a true professional. She even had an excellent fanny pack and pins! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I recommend Bridal and Formal to anyone looking for their perfect wedding dress.
