Our brides are supermodels, ok?!
Introducing our stunning bride, Jessica!
For her fall wedding, Jessica looked incredible in a fitted crepe gown by Stella York, complete with a pearl detailed cowl neckline! SO GOOD!
She paired it with a pearl veil by Giselle and it was seriously perfect!
But before she put the gown on, it was time to pop the cork with her favorite girlies!

Jessica enlisted the help of JM’s Flowers with Jazz for her wedding florals and they did not disappoint!!
We will always love a clean, classic bouquet!

Jessica wanted to share a special first look with her hubby, Adam, before heading down the aisle!
His reaction was EVERYTHING and it quickly became one of her fave memories…
“My favorite moment from the day was our first look. It calmed my nerves so much to see him before walking down the aisle!”

Jessica and Adam were married in the ceremony room at Allure on the Lake in Chesterton!
The couple honored Jessica’s late father with a special seat in remembrance of him.

The reception, also held at Allure on the Lake, was spectacular!
Everything from the decor to the cake by Val’s Custom Cakes was simply perfect!

Let’s get to know these lovebirds a little better!
How did the newlyweds first meet??
“We met at the gym in Chicago where we both lived!”
How did Adam pop the question?
“He proposed at my family lake house in southwest Michigan!
I knew it was coming but was not expecting it that weekend!”
After that it was time for Jessica to say “YES!” to the dress!
“I had the best dress buying experience! I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted. I picked out a bunch of dresses that fit my “simple elegant” vibe I was going for, but Shannon, who was helping me that day (she was AMAZING!) picked the dress I ended up buying. I tried on a bunch of others after the dress and kept saying wishing I had on the dress she picked! That’s how I knew it was the one.”
What was Jessica’s favorite {and not-so-favorite} part if the wedding planning process?
“My favorite part was getting to the venue before everyone else and seeing all the details I spent months planning all come together and look perfect!
My least favorite part was the seating chart or collecting everyone’s addresses!”
Does Jessica have any advice for brides who are currently dealing with planning their own big day?
“The best advice I can give is take a minute to be together just you two before the crazy begins. Right after our ceremony Adam and I had our “signature drinks” together right after our ceremony before our cocktail hour started and the guests started coming in.”
Such good advice! Congratulations, Jessica + Adam!!
