We loved that this bride went with color for her wedding gown! We asked the bride to share how she chose this green gown for her big day: “I love color and fashion and I wanted to find something celebratory, beautiful, and fun! I went to San Francisco to shop with my friends and I found this beautiful dress at McMullen in the Bay Area.”

Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding

The most memorable moment of the wedding day was being fully present, enjoying the beautiful meal, and the speeches from our dear family and friends. We truly soaked up the love and enjoyed the time together.
