#WeddingWednesday Ashley & Matt 8-8-15

Ashley and Matt got married on 8-8-15 and here is what she had to say about her big day!

“When I woke up that morning it was raining, and right away (even though it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day) I was worried. Both our ceremony and reception were supposed to be outside, in Matt’s dad's back yard. I ran a few last minute errands, and grabbed a coffee for the long day ahead of me. By the time my girls and I got to our hair appointment the rain subsided, and the rest of the day had a cloudy overcast. Which was perfect because it kept the sun at bay.

After all my bridesmaids, mom, and I got our hair and make-up done we were off to the house to get ready! Before I knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle to say my vows.

My dad passed away, so my brother walked me down the aisle in place of him. One piece of advice I was given was to take my time while walking down the aisle and look at all the faces of my family and friends, because the day goes by so fast.

I met my soon-to-be husband (he was so handsome) at the altar and immediately had a big ol smile on my face. Our ceremony was beautiful, but yet short and sweet, even my tough guy had tears in his eyes (aww).

After our ceremony, we took pictures and were ready to celebrate our nuptials.

Our reception was amazing! We had worked so hard the months leading up, and everything looked magical. We visited with all of our guests, ate our dinner, and enjoyed the rest of the night with our loved ones. We even had some neighbor boys come over and try to crash our wedding.

One of my most cherished memories of the night was when my brother gave a speech, and in honor of my dad did the father-daughter dance with me.

It was so nice to remember him on my special day, and it was the finishing touch to our dream wedding.”

Congratulations to the happy couple from all of us here at Bombshell!

12 Things Brides Forget Before Their Wedding Day

BRING EXTRA SHOES! Those gorgeous heels you bought? Yeah, by the time the reception rolls around your feet will be killing you! Bring an extra pair of flats so you can keep dancing and socializing the night away. You’ll thank me later. Decide what to do with the gifts. This is often forgotten during the wedding planning process, but still pretty important thing to remember! Make sure you assign someone to pack up the gifts and tell them where to take them. Especially if you are leaving on your honeymoon that night! You don’t want to decide what to do with them after you have had a few glasses of champagne. ;) Assign someone responsible to take care of the marriage license! Your officiant will take two copies and one is your souvenir. (Yes, you will sign three of them.) Make sure you don’t ask your cousin who has had 4 possibly 6 drinks that night already. A pretty hanger for your wedding dress. Since your dress will be photographed you want to make s...

#WeddingWednesday Taara + Malcolm 9-5-15

Wait until you see how beautiful Taara is! Their wedding was BEAUTIFUL! See what she had to say about her big day: "Our ceremony took place at Rock of Ages Christian Ministries. Our ceremony was short and sweet and only lasted about 20 minutes. My dad walked me down the aisle as my only brother sang to me. I had my 2 favorite guys share this special moment with me and that meant everything to me. My husband and I exchanged vows and demonstrated us becoming one by taking part in a wine communion ceremony. Once that was all said and done, we were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hatcher. My fiancé thought that I was the most beautiful bride in the world. He absolutely loved my dress. I felt like a princess in my wedding dress. I never in a million years though that I could feel that way ! Being plus size can put a lot of doubt in your mind when it comes to finding that perfect dress for on...

#WeddingWednesday Cori + Steven 10-24-15

Our wedding theme was paper airplanes because of a short film my husband and I fell in love with. We also were never huge fans of flowers being the focal point, so using paper was fun and unique to us. It also made wedding planning easier not having to handle real flowers so we could get things done months in advance. It was in the fall so we did use mini pumpkins for escort cards, and we drilled wholes in big pumpkins and put changing LED lights in them. We had paper airplanes on our cake, my necklace, and even on our bouquets and boutonnieres! Also instead of a book for people to sign, we made paper airplanes to later put in a big shadow box. One of the easiest parts of our 15 month wedding planning adventure was finding my dress! I had gone to a previous shop but it was more so to have a better idea as to what I actually liked and flattered me the most. So once I got to Bombshell finding my dress was amazingly simple and quick! I think my dress endin...
