I first went to Bridal and Formal during the Fall in Love Reading Bridal District Show and it very quickly became my favorite shop with the large selection of dresses. I came back a few weeks later and the dress I ended up going with, made my mother cry when I walked out in it. I went to a few other stores to make sure I had seen all my options. But a week later I went back to Bridal and Formal for that dress. As soon as I put it on for a second time, I knew it was the one and that I was done shopping. We came back to Bridal and Formal again for bridesmaids’ dresses and mother of the bride dresses. My colors were eggplant purple, and Bridal and Formal was one of the few stores that had the correct shade of purple dresses.
I had multiple consultants assist me so I can’t remember their names. But everyone in the store was very helpful. They gave great advice in what to look for in a dress, and were very good at reading my facial expressions. I loved everyone there!
We had our ceremony in the Grand Ballroom with about 160 guests. We did not do a first look, so seeing my now husband’s face smiling at me as I walked down the aisle was huge a highlight of the day. We wrote our own vows, had a unity candle, and I managed to get through the ceremony without crying! We then released our guests’ row by row to go upstairs to the mezzanine for cocktail hour. We took pictures while guest got to enjoy a bourbon tasting. We had a kid’s corner for the young ones to color, play Legos and have snacks. For the reception, we did our introduction with fun custom sunglasses, and then speeches from the father of the bride and mother of the groom. Dinner was a buffet of pork loin and prime rib. After dinner we did the Maid of Honor and Best Man speeches, both which were very special. Cody and I did a toast, then cut the cake. He got cake in my eye! We did our first dance to Ed Sheeran’s Perfect. For the father daughter dance, we surprised everyone with a choreographed remix dance. The mother son dance was slow and sweet. We then did family pictures and a group picture out on the dance floor. Then we went directly into dancing while everyone was already on the dance floor! Later in the night we did a Photo Bomb, where Cody and I sat in chairs on the dance floor, and people could run up and do a goofy pose, get their picture taken, and then run off. This was a highlight that produced some of the best pictures of the night. We then had glow sticks and a late-night snack of coneys come out. We ended our wedding with a glow stick sendoff where Cody and I ran through a tunnel of our guests waving their glow sticks.
