Where did you and your fiancé meet? Jacob and I met at church during my official visit to the University of Mississippi. Although I don’t remember meeting him (and wouldn’t start college until two years later!), he claims that he instantly knew he would marry me! How did he propose? After church, Jacob and I went on a walk around the Ole Miss campus, just like any ordinary afternoon. He took me to the Paris-Yates Chapel, the place where he first told me he loved me, and proposed. It was just the two of us- a perfectly intimate moment! Describe your wedding in 4 words: Timeless, simple, elegant, and wintry! What did you splurge on/save on? It truly takes a village to throw a wedding. From dress alterations, to photography, to the desserts at the reception, our friends and family offered their talents and time. It definitely saved us a good bit of cash, but it was also so special to have all of our loved ones play a part in our wedding! What was your favorite part of the day? When Jacob and I were receiving our final blessing before being pronounced husband and wife, I remember the gravity of the moment, realizing that I was entering a covenant with both Jacob and the Lord. I told myself, “Remember this moment, even if the day goes by like a blur.” It was humbling and beautiful! Any advice for future brides? While weddings are fun to plan and exciting to think about, your marriage is ultimately the most important aspect of the day. Keep it simple! Cherish every moment.

Living in Mississippi, I thought it would be impossible for this dream to become a reality. However, I took the plunge, ordered the dress online, and had it delivered all the way to Mississippi. I never even tried on another wedding gown. It truly was the dress of my dreams. My wedding was small, simple, and inexpensive, but my wedding dress is truly a priceless treasure. Thank you, Elizabeth Cooper Design!

Where did you and your fiancé meet? At a church activity - I was a missionary and he was curious about our beliefs. We remained friends throughout my mission, and I almost didn’t let him date me after- good thing he changed my mind. How did he propose? He asked me to dance with him in the middle of the parking lot to our favorite song. Describe your wedding in 4 words: Magical, gorgeous, fun, perfect What did you splurge on/save on? Splurged on the dress and photo/video, but tried to save on everything else What was your favorite part of the day? Becoming man and wife Any advice for future brides? Don’t overthink the little things, just go and be blissfully happy with your husband, because that’s what the day is all about. Not the flowers, the guests that couldn’t make it, or even your hair. Live in the moment and forget the rest.

We met by my sister screaming his name in the middle of the hall. How did he propose? He took my whole family and I on a hike. At one of the spots on the hike there was a tower with a heart stone in the middle. The tower and heart stone was built by someone who had to be far away from his significant other. Since most of our relationship was long distance, he thought this story and tower would be the perfect place to propose. Describe your wedding in 4 words: Simple, family-oriented, laid-back, and beautiful What did you splurge on/save on? We saved on our venue! It was only $50 for a porta potty. What was your favorite part of the day? My favorite part of the day was getting to take pictures and spend time with my closest family and friends. Any advice for future brides? Don't stress! It's supposed to be a happy time of your life. Enjoy every minute. Be sure to think about the kind of pictures you want to look back on because things will be too crazy on your wedding day.

When the time came, I found the perfect opportunity to go with my sister and closest friend. They let me try on a whole bunch of different styles to see which one I truly liked. They were all so beautiful, but I didn't feel like everyone had always told me I'd fee when I found THE dress. The person who helped me pulled out a dress that was totally not what I was looking for, BUT I am so grateful she did because THAT was the dress that I ended up choosing. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day because of that dress and have gotten so many compliments on it! Where did you and your fiancé meet? Mutual dating app How did he propose?

You do you!!!!

But it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Where did you and your fiancé meet? At a mutual friend’s wedding How did he propose? A photoshoot in the Colorado snowy mountains.

Splurged on dress and Photo/video and I saved on cake, flower and venue. What was your favorite part of the day? Having my family all around Any advice for future brides? Spend the extra money on your photographer and videographer you love. The pictures and video capture the moments you don't want to forget. You may forget the details of the flowers, the food the DJ and the venue, but you will have the pictures for ever, make them good. Vendor credits: Gown: Holly by Elizabeth Cooper Design Jake and Kylee Photo & Video @Jakeandkylee Flowers were made from my aunt using flowers from Hobby Lobby. Additional comments: COVID changed and altered our plans. We were able to relocate to a small backyard wedding, and my father was able to marry my husband and me. While 2020 has been challenging, I was still able to get married. Even if it wasn't the way I had envisioned or planned, I did not have everything on my list but the most important thing was the union of my now husband and me. At the end of the day, a wedding is a celebration of love. Celebrations come in more than one size, mine was still perfect in its simple way. Jaimee wore the Holly gown for her special day. Jaimee had a seamstress alter the neckline to a sweetheart neckline and paired the Holly with an adorable waist sash for a customized look. Congratulations to Jaimee and her new hubby!

The wedding is over, you're blissfully happy, but what can you do with this wedding gown (& veil) hanging in your closet? (Your husband is starting to complain about not having any closet space.)
We also have very busy schedules which means we are not always at the shop. Our flagship location does not have regular set business hours- we are by appointment only so that we can be assured to be there when you are. If you show up without an appointment there is a good chance no one will be there. Which brings me to our shop. Our little shop began as nothing more than our "design studio"- a place for us to get together and create our gowns. Before long we ended up transforming it into our little flagship shop. It's not the fanciest building you'll ever see, its small and quaint and, to be honest, the lines are kind of funky. It reminds us of a Dr. Seuss building. But it's cute and cozy and we love to meet with brides there. Often we hear: "You guys need a big sign outside, we couldn't find you." This may indeed be true however the reason we don't have a large sign outside is because we do not want to attract foot traffic, for the reasons listed above. We are by appointment only and to those appointments we offer our address for their convenience. So- if you have an appointment, we are apparently hard to find. We are on the south side of Main Street in American Fork, right across from the Bank of American Fork, and right next to Tangie's diner. We are ALMOST at the corner of Center and Main. Guests can park on the street.
As I mentioned above- our space is "cozy" which means small. On busy days it can get crowded- which is one of many reasons why we limit your allotted number of guests. If every bride brought 4 guests at the same time we wouldn't have any room to move or breathe. So, we hate to be sticklers but... fire code, AND the more feet in a room, the more gowns get stepped on and ruined (seriously, we've had gowns get stepped on and ruined.) So there, my friends, is the long response to the frequent questions we get. Schedule your appointment here, and we hope to see you soon! There are lots of reasons why a bride would want a modest wedding dress, and whatever that reason is- we are here to help. We offer a variety of unique modest options, and the best part is we try our hardest to keep them as affordable as we can. Take a look at our collection page and schedule your appointment to come in and find your dream modest wedding dress.
Where did you and your husband meet? 1. My husband, Dakota Jacobs, and I met on a LDS dating app called Mutual. The funny thing about this is that my husband HATES that this is how we met. He always tells me that he thinks it is so cliche and that everything else about us dating was perfect but that. It makes me laugh every time we joke about it. How did he propose? 2. Well here's a little background information. So our first date was on St. Patrick's Day on 25th St. in Ogden, UT. The night Dakota proposed was a sunday night and he asked me if I'd want to go for a drive. Obviously I'd be in sweats, me just thinking this was a casual night, he came to pick me up dressed nicely and I thought nothing of it. I then made the joke to him saying, "Hopefully it's okay that I'm wearing sweats, ha." He took me for a walk down 25th St. and had a whole thing staged with a photographer friend waiting to capture the moment. He had a other friend waiting in a restaurant on that same street with a sign that he made saying, "Josie will you marry me?" The whole thing was perfect and I loved all of the thought he put into it making it special to us. Describe your wedding in 4 words: 3. Memorable, Perfect, Loving, Supportive What did you splurge on? 4. We splurged on the wedding dress, photographer, and his suit. What did you save on? 5. We saved on decor for the reception by making the center pieces, other decor, and by having family help with lighting and setting up for the reception. What was your favorite part of the day? 6. My favorite part of our wedding day was just how loved I felt, how many people supported us and that I was now married to my best friend. Any advise for future brides? 7. My advice to any future bride is to just go with the flow of everything and don't stress. Also to live in the moment of everything, it goes by too fast!

What did you splurge on/save on? photobooth/saved big time on everything else! What was your favorite part of the day? looking into his eyes as we were married. Any advice for future brides? If you cant stop thinking about it, just buy it! Credit your vendors: ricardo quintana photography the lodge at traverse mountain DJ azuquita De la rosa Mexican Restaurant swagen photobooth Where did you and your fiancé meet? He bid on my cake at our ward blind date cake auction... and lost. How did he propose? He wrote down our love story and read it to me in front of my favorite monument, the Jefferson Memorial. Describe your wedding in 4 words: Romantic, classy, summery, inclusive What did you splurge on/save on? We splurged on photography and saved on decorations. We were so blessed to have so many people willing to share their time, talents, and possessions to make our event beautiful. What was your favorite part of the day? That's a tie between the ring ceremony and the first dance. The majority of our friends flying in for the wedding are not Mormon, and couldn't be there for our sealing. We chose to have a ring ceremony so that we could include everyone, and it was so beautiful. Our bishop encouraged us to write letters to each other, and we read them in front of everyone. It felt like there was so much love in the room. For the first dance, we had choreographed it and practiced for almost five months prior to the wedding, and it was exciting to perform it in front of everyone. Any advice for future brides? The best part of the day is having everyone that you love in the same room, celebrating with you and the person you love the most. It can be stressful, but let yourself relax. You made it!
