Where did you and your fiancé meet?
We met on Mutual! 


How did he propose?
I was on a trip with my family in St. George and he was in Salt Lake (or so I thought). That afternoon my family went to one of our favorite parks with a large pond. As we were walking around the pond, I noticed hearts leading down the path. My first thought was that someone was getting proposed to, but I had no idea it was me. I was certain that he was four hours away. I kept walking along the path and all of the sudden I saw him standing next to the pond with flowers and a small, red box. Best surprise ever!


Describe your wedding in 4 words:
Beautiful, Elegant, Relaxed, Lovely


Why did you choose to wear a modest wedding dress for your big day?
I always knew I wanted a modest wedding dress that I could feel beautiful and confident in. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and we planned on getting married in the temple. I was grateful that I was able to find my dream dress that was beautiful and modest.


What was your favorite part of the day?
I loved our ceremony and dancing with my husband at the end of the reception.


What did you splurge or save on?
I splurged on the dress and venue. We saved by doing some of our own décor at the reception.

Additional comments or advice for other brides:
Advice:
Soak up and enjoy every minute of your big day! Take some time just to talk with your husband, family, and close friends who are there to support you! The day goes by so fast and it’s nice to take a couple of minutes to relax, breathe and savor the moment.

Additional Comments:
Planning a wedding during the Covid pandemic came with many challenges. I went to several dress shops and they told me that due to shipments being stopped I would have to buy a dress off of the rack. I had a particular style in mind and felt devastated that I couldn’t find what I wanted. I came across Elizabeth Cooper’s website and immediately fell in love with several of their dresses. When I called, they said they had multiple sizes in stock of each of their dresses that I would be able to choose from. I tried on the Holly dress and immediately knew it was the one. I also loved that it came with a lace up back so that I didn’t need any alterations done to it. In addition, I got the most beautiful veil from Elizabeth Cooper. I am so grateful that I was able to have the dress of my dreams, despite having to make a lot of other changes to our big day.

Where did you and your fiancé meet?
He served his mission in my parents' ward! We have been friends for almost 7 years.


How did he propose?
We were on our way to the Salt Flats to take pictures with my sister, and we decided we were tired of waiting for the ring. We stopped at the mall and picked up a $5 fake ring and he proposed on the Salt Flats! My sister was there with her nice camera so we got some good pictures. When the real ring came, he took me on a hike right before sunset and re-proposed overlooking a river and the setting sun. :)


Why did you choose to wear a modest wedding dress for your big day?
I wanted something that would be beautiful and timeless while still covering my temple garments. I have worn garments for years, and the covenants they represent are a big part of who I am. I was not willing to sacrifice that representation for my wedding dress - especially when we got married in the temple!


What was your favorite part of the day?
Getting to be the only people in the entire temple. Or getting to see so many loved ones at our reception!


What did you splurge or save on?
We splurged on photography - we wanted to make sure our photos were excellent, and they were! We saved on most everything else and did a lot of work to make sure everything was still beautiful and special while sticking to our budget.

Pro-Tip: Wedding Gown shopping, keep it small

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Shopping for a wedding gown should be an enjoyable experience.  However, sometimes the  enthusiasm about sharing the experience with friends and family can lead to a lot of unnecessary frustration!  Here are a couple of tips to help you make sure your shopping experience is pleasant and productive.

Tip #1:   Don’t over do it!  Trying on wedding dresses, especially modest wedding dresses with sleeves, can take a little extra time to get in and out of which can be exhausting, and trying on too many gowns can bring an already-stressed-out bride and her mother to tears!  Do some careful research beforehand, find out what appeals to you and pick 2 or 3 bridal shops that carry wedding gowns in the styles that you love. By carefully researching the options in advance, you will leave yourself more time to focus on the details of each modest wedding dress that you try on.  Taking this approach will help you avoid rushing through the experience as quickly as you can, in order to try on as many wedding dresses as possible, before you need to rush to your next bridal appointment.  You want shopping for your wedding gown to be special, don’t burn yourself out. 

Tip #2: Do not bring a lot of people to your bridal appointment. 
Keep it small, too many opinions can create confusion and frustration.  Taking 6 sisters shopping may be fun in some circumstances, but it rarely leads to a positive experience when shopping for a wedding gown. Instead of bringing every woman that you love to your appointments, involve several of them in other aspects of the wedding planning.  If  your grandmother or your future mother-in-law are avid gardeners or decorators, take them with you when you go to the florist to select bridal flowers, and take a friend or two when you are searching for bridesmaid dresses. Ask your sisters to research wedding caters or wedding photography options for you. Take advantage of the many ways that your friends and loved ones can be involved in the planning experience.  If your 6 sisters absolutely must be involved in the wedding gown shopping experience, include them via Facetime or Zoom, which will make it easier to set some boundaries. 

When choosing who to invite to your bridal appointments, pick someone supportive who understands and appreciates your style. Someone you trust to help you make a good decision. If you intend to purchase a modest wedding gown, bring someone who appreciates modesty.    Wedding gowns come in many varieties, so if you love ballgowns, but the roommate you bring to your bridal appointment is strong willed and loves sheath gowns, you could end up feeling pressured to purchase a wedding dress that does not make you happy.  
When all is said and done, it is you that will remember your wedding day for the rest of your life, no one (including your husband!) will remember the details of your wedding gown as well as you will. Choose what you love, and don’t worry if your cousin thinks it is too simple or grandpa thinks it is too garish!

Pro-tip: Getting the perfect fit for your wedding dress

0 Comments

Read Now
 

Pro-tip:  Wedding gowns are not like t-shirts. In fact the are unlike most of your regular clothing.  They are not designed to be worn right off the rack! Wedding dresses are special and intimate- they are meant to be tweaked and altered by a capable seamstress to achieve that perfect, “for you” fit for your perfect day.  Modest wedding gowns may need a few more adjustments than their strapless counterparts.  Everyone's arms are different, so if you want a wedding dress with sleeves, they may need to be adjusted a bit in order to fit your arms perfectly. Modest wedding dresses may also need to be adjusted through the shoulders or at the neckline to ensure that everything lays smoothly.   If you fall in love with a gown that needs a few minor adjustments do not worry, it is a common occurrence  and most bridal stores will have a capable seamstress who can take care of any tweaks for you.  We work with an incredible seamstress who has made hundreds of these minor and very commonly needed alterations, for brides who have purchased an Elizabeth Cooper Design gown.   She will even work with our brides who purchase their modest wedding gowns from ECD online!

Pro-Tip: Wedding gown shopping takes preparation!

Pro-tip: Come prepared for your appointment! 
Browse Pinterest before you start in-store shopping. Check out the wedding gown brands and styles each bridal store offers  These days a majority of your wedding dress shopping can really be done online.

​Decide which features matter most to you in a wedding gown. Identify the bridal shops that carry the the type of wedding dress that you want.  If you are not looking for a modest wedding gown with sleeves,  Elizabeth Cooper Design is definitely not a good option for you! We only offer our own designs and we specialize in modest gowns. We do not offer strapless or backless gowns, those can be purchased at many other bridal shops, so if that is what you like, look around and you will be able to find a place that offers those options. All Elizabeth Cooper Design wedding gowns have sleeves and modest necklines.  All of our wedding dresses offer full coverage in back as well.     

​Be prepared with ideas of wedding dress styles that you want to try- come with general concepts that you love, along with specific styles that are carried in the bridal shop that you are visiting. When you come to Elizabeth Cooper Design store in Utah you will be helped by a bridal consultant, and if you are not in Utah and need to meet via a virtual appointment, one of the designers will help you.  Either way, if you are prepared to share your wedding gown ideas with them, they can better help you get the look that you want! 

It’s never too early to start doing research for your ideal wedding dress. The more educated you are about what is available, before you schedule time at bridal stores, the less stressful your shopping will be, happy shopping!

Olivia chose the Aretha wedding dress for her special day.  The modest neckline and 3/4 length sleeves were perfect for her wedding day!
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 your wedding 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.

Additional comments:
The moment I saw the Aretha gown, I knew it was the dress for me. 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!

Pro-Tip: Try On That Wedding Gown!

0 Comments

Read Now
 
​Wedding gowns take a bit of effort to put on, especially wedding dresses with sleeves.  When trying on modest wedding gowns you will need some help getting in and out of them.  At Elizabeth Cooper Design we will give you as much privacy as possible, but at times our bridal consultants must be in the dressing room with you.  They will lace up the corset of each wedding dress that you choose to try on, to make sure that you are getting the best fit possible. 
 
Any guests that you bring to the appointment should plan to remain seated outside of the dressing room while you put on each wedding gown.  Taking this approach helps us select the right sizes, and protect the wedding gowns so they are fresh and undamaged. It also gives you a fun opportunity to make a grand entrance with each wedding dress! 
 
Wearing white or nude colored under garments to your bridal appointment will make it easier to visualize how you will look in your gown on your big day.  Though the bodice and skirts of our modest wedding dresses are always fully lined and cannot be seen through, dark or brightly colored underwear will cause the overlaying fabrics to appear to be different shades than other parts of the wedding gown, which can be distracting. 
 
Bring heels similar in height to the ones you intend to wear on your wedding day, so that you can get an accurate idea of the proper gown length you will need.
 
Do your hair similarly to the way you think you will wear it for the wedding.  It is easier to visualize yourself in “the gown” when you are done up the way you plan to be on your special day. However, go easy on the makeup, especially foundation or concealers, as well as blush and lipstick, since those can easily get on wedding gowns when you’re changing in and out. 
 
Whether you come alone, or bring a couple of guests to your appointment, plan to try on several of our modest wedding dresses and enjoy yourself!

 Long sleeved wedding gowns are very traditional, but when Rebekah chose the Victoria gown she added a non traditional twist by having the gown made with a baby blue lining, it was stunning!

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 wedding dress and wedding photo/video, but tried to save on everything else


What was your favorite part of your wedding 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 wedding flowers, the guests that couldn’t make it, or even your hair. Live in the moment and forget the rest.

Shelbie chose the sophisticated look of the Cypress wedding dress for her  wedding day, and she looked gorgeous in it!
Where did you and your fiancé meet?
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 wedding venue! It was only $50 for a porta potty. 


What was your favorite part of your wedding day?
My favorite part of the day was getting to take wedding 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.

Additional comments:
From the moment that I first saw an ECD dress online, I was in love and knew that my dream wedding dress was going to be there. 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!

​The Holly wedding gown was perfect on Sarah!  Even though she had to change her wedding venue due to Covid-19 her wedding day was a beautiful day to remember! 

Where did you and your fiancé meet?

At a mutual friend’s wedding

Simple, Beautiful, Intimate and Timeless


What did you splurge on/save on?

Any advice for future brides?
Spend the extra money on your wedding photographer and get a wedding videographer you love. The wedding pictures and video capture the moments you don't want to forget. You may forget the details of the wedding flowers, the food the DJ and the venue, but you will have the pictures for ever, make them good.

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.

Pro-Tip: How To Repurpose Your Bridal Gown and Veil

0 Comments

Read Now
 

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.)

Use pieces of your modest wedding gown to make jewelry. Wear it yourself and pass it down to your daughters someday. Earrings, necklaces, headbands, belts, bracelets.  Wedding gowns with long sleeves are perfect for this approach, since  you can shorten the sleeves, while leaving the rest of the gown intact, and use the removed material for creating your mementos. 

Picture
Vintage Lace Pendants by Laura Beth Love

Have your wedding gown professionally preserved- either framed and hung to remember or to keep safe for your daughter or daughter-in-law to wear someday when they too want a modest wedding dress. 

Have a professional seamstress remake the entire wedding gown into a blessing/christening dress or a baptism/confirmation dress.    

If you want to keep most of the gown intact, the train of your wedding gown can be removed and used for creating little dresses or other mementos 

Picture

Another great idea for a modest wedding gown with long sleeves, is to shorten the sleeves and use the removed fabric to create a purse or clutch from your gown. Lace looks good on everything! 

Repurpose your old veil as a bed net for your master bedroom or for your new babies nursery.

Give your wedding gown to a worthy cause. Modest wedding dresses can be difficult to find, so sharing yours could bless the life of another bride-

Who is Elizabeth Cooper? Elizabeth Cooper is a mother/daughter design team- Carrie Cooper & Arin Elizabeth, and the name is derived from our middle names. We design each and every single one of our modest wedding dresses  ourselves, in our studio, together. We work tirelessly to create modest wedding gowns that you will love that don't compromise your standards. When you come to our flagship location in American Fork you will often see one of us, either helping you or helping another bride, while one of our other trained bridal consultants helps you. We like to be around during appointments so we can meet the brides that will wear our modest wedding gowns- we love to hear feedback and meet the beautiful smiling faces. It's so special to know that the fruits of our labor and love will be a part of your special day. 

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 to see a wedding gown without an appointment there is a good chance no one will be there!  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, and from their we eventually moved to our current location, with private seating areas and comfortable dressing rooms for each bride.  
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!

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?
