High school sweethearts Emma and Christopher met at a Friday night football game in 2014 and instantly connected. After almost ten years of growing and pursuing dreams together, Christopher proposed surrounded by red roses, and Emma happily accepted! They celebrated with a romantic dinner and stayed at the stunning Hotel Covington in Covington, Kentucky. Their engagement ring, made by their family jeweler, contains sentimental diamonds and a tanzanite stone, symbolizing their shared history and love.
Emma's wedding dress journey was a fairytale from start to finish. At Bride and Formal in Cincinnati, Ohio, amidst endless stunning gowns, Emma was drawn to one particular Morilee dress. Fresh from Bridal Fashion Week, our Mallory Wedding Dress stole her heart when she tried it on. It was perfect for her special day with its flawless blend of color, details, and whimsy. The look on her mother's face confirmed it – Mallory was the one! Even strangers were taken aback by its authenticity and beauty. The dress felt as though it was designed for Emma and made for the easiest "yes" to the dress. The details within the appliques and the train tied together everything she had dreamt of since she was a little girl. It matched the whimsical vision she had for her wedding day!
Emma graced the aisle in our Mallory Wedding Dress, perfect for the fairytale bride. This whimsical ball gown features vibrant crystal beaded floral embroidery cascading from the V-neckline to the flowing A-line tulle skirt. Pouf sleeves add to the fantasy, while a satin ribbon waist sash elegantly defines the figure. Our Mallory gown's intricate details and romantic design made Emma's walk down the aisle a truly magical moment that she will never forget!
The couple celebrated their love on April 20, 2024, at Magnolia Manor on the River in Warsaw, KY. This beautiful manor offers timeless charm with its rich history. The tranquil views and abundant wildlife along the river are unmatched, and the estate grounds transport visitors back in time, offering a perfect setting for Emma and Christopher's fairytale wedding.
For Emma and Christopher, every moment of their wedding day was special and unique, especially for Emma and her mother. From her and her mom getting dressed together to skipping the bouquet toss in favor of honoring her mom and walking down the aisle, where she admired the floral creations her mom arranged for the entire wedding. And, of course, we can’t forget when Emma locked eyes with Christopher, feeling a sense of calm knowing they were embarking on a beautiful journey together. Their private vows sealed their love, making the day even more memorable, filled with cherished and special memories to last a lifetime.
