ECD Bride Rachel

Rachel chose a classic wedding gown and was stunning in it! The Alana gown is made of crisp dupioni, creating a  look that is fit for a queen! 


Where did you and your fiancé meet?
We met when we were 10 years old at his family’s dance studio. We grew up together, and then finally started dating in college. 


How did he propose?
He sent me on an elaborate scavenger hunt that took me to different locations that held significance in our relationship. When I followed the clue that finally led me to him, he sang a song to me and popped the question!  


Describe your wedding in 4 words:
Classic, Elegant, Sweet, Party!!


Why did you choose to wear a modest wedding dress for your big day?
I always try to choose to dress modestly, so I didn’t want my big day to be the exception. I wanted to feel elegant and comfortable and my dress made me feel amazing!


What was your favorite part of the day?
My favorite part of the day was hearing my husband’s vows and having a huge dance party!!


What did you splurge or save on?
It felt awesome to be able to save money on my dress and on the venue. We got great deals. We definitely splurged on the Disneyland themed food, but it was worth it.
