Morilee Featured Bride: Cassandra

High school sweethearts Cassandra and Greg had a storybook romance! Beginning as friends, the two slowly grew closer and started dating just before their senior year of high school. Knowing this was a forever kind of love, the couple followed each other university, and have been together ever since! After many years of dating, Greg had a grand proposal in mind! On a ten-day trip to Iceland, the pair were visiting Reynisfjara, a breathtaking black sand beach on the southern coast. He had asked their tour guide to take a picture of them in front of the ocean, with the basalt columns behind them. It was as the camera flashed that Greg got down on one knee and a colossal wave swept up behind them! Soaked, the couple ran back up the beach. Despite the damp proposal, Cassandra said yes! 

A bride who knew what she wanted, Cassandra envisioned herself in a timeless ball gown. No lace, no sparkle, and something she could put a big bow on the back. She tried on several dresses and none of them fit the picture she had in her head until our Pacifica gown. As soon as Cassandra had it on, she knew it was exactly what she was looking for! It felt classic but had the modern twist of the low illusion back, and she knew it was the perfect dress for her dream bow!

Cassandra walked down the aisle in our Pacifica gown with a custom, detachable bow. The classic ball gown features a stunning box-pleated skirt and feels luxe in Peau de Soie satin. Details like the plunging neckline, illusion low back, and pockets make this timeless gown feel fresh and modern. A breathtaking dress on its own or the perfect canvas to customize your wedding day look! 

The couple was married at The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres in Freeport, Pennsylvania. The stunning estate features manicured lawns and stunning gardens featuring vibrant trees, colorful blooms, elegant ponds, and even a cascading waterfall! The bed and breakfast was the perfect destination for their wedding with its castle-style mansion and fairytale charm. And what made it all so special for Cassandra and Greg was being able to spend the weekend with their family and friends! Spending that quality time with those most important to them was a highlight, prepping for the big day and even relaxing the morning after created precious moments that the couple will never forget!
