1. Where did you get married?

Villa Capri in Seabrook, TX

2. What was your first dance song?

"She's Like Texas", Josh Abbot Band

3. What was your favorite part of your wedding? 

 Getting to see all of our family and friends!  

4. What are you glad you splurged on?

 My photographer.  She captured everything that day and she acted like a wedding coordinator by helping me stick to a schedule and she even showed us how to cut the cake! 

5. What is your advice to future brides? 

Don't stress out about the little things before your wedding and on the day of the wedding, just go with the flow.  If something isn't perfect in your mind, who cares, your guest will love everything about your wedding and in a very quick 4-5 hours, it will all be over!  It goes by so fast so enjoy yourself and have a good time.

Dress and Accessories: Whittington Bridal 

Removable Lace Jackets

Lace sleeves are one of the top trends in bridal fashion these days, but most brides are reluctant to commit to a dress with sleeves on it. This is why removable jackets are a wonderful option for getting the look without sacrificing a great strapless dress! Not only do they provide a superior fit, but the jacket can come off for the reception--allowing you two different bridal looks for the same cost-- it doesn't get better than that! :)  

We've fallen in love with this combination of a lace mermaid gown from Essense of Australia with the removable jacket option and a Saison Blanche belt added.

This gown is a Whittington Bridal favorite! It also is an Essense of Australia gown, but we've added the Essense jacket and Bel Aire belt to alter the look a bit for an added Wow factor.

Another Whittington Bridal favorite is this jacket from San Patrick. We've paired it with a simple satin Mikaella dress and added a major statement belt from Saison Blanche to give you a completely different look!

These jackets are so versatile and can be added on top of almost any dress to give you that vintage style and create a unique bridal look that is truly you!
