featured wedding dress designer
airplane peanuts. a salty snack that never quite sounds satisfying until you find your fingers covered in crumbs trying to dig out any stragglers from the crinkly foil bag. if foreshadowing was ever a part of someone's love story, we'd have to say #aandbabe molly and jerome take the cake. from these two meeting in class at the university of oregon and molly pushing "her bag of almonds towards him to share her class snacks" to the year-long, long distance relationship that gesture led to, these two have built quite the bank of beautiful memories. since that day in class, molly and jerome have found themselves in six countries and have called three different states home. from long trips to big moves, we're sure they've consumed countless airplane peanuts, almonds, and snacks during their adventure-filled travels.
after popping champagne, molly slipped into her 'blaire' by rish bridal wedding dress with the help of her family and friends. the low back and long lace train of rish's blaire dress looked ethereal as molly stood in front of the window of her bridal suite. with jerome in a nearby room tying his tie, both bride and groom readied themselves for their intimate first look.
from a giggly first look ending in the warmest hug to their outdoor wedding ceremony under a giant oak tree at scholls valley lodge, every moment was glimmering in sunshine and heartfelt smiles. molly and jerome took a few bride and groom portraits among the manicured lawns of the property's private 4-acre estate, before excitedly entering their indoor-outdoor reception.
dancing under bistro lights, molly and jerome were radiant as they stared into each other's eyes on the concrete dance floor. letting loose and leaving the gown's long lace train down for a little extra drama, these two shared their special day with the same kindness and undeniable friendship that they sparked when sharing that class snack so many years ago.
