Are you someone who pictures walking down the aisle in a dramatic, architectural bridal gown? If so, your wedding dress journey will likely be filled with trying on structured looks.

Structure doesn’t just have to do with the bodice of a gown, though. Some architectural elements such as solid ruffles or three-dimensional accents also adds to the uniqueness of this style of gown.

With some back and forth banter, a few dates, and many laughs, we learned more about each other by exploring what it was like growing up back home. Aaron learned that mangoes are delicious – all 20 variations of them – during our visit to Saint Lucia. I visited Nebraska in the fall and got to experience my very first ever Husker football game and even learned how to “throw the bones.” After five years of dating, we couldn’t have been more excited about tying the knot and starting a new chapter t ..read more
