featured wedding dress designer
meeting in 2009 and getting engaged in 2019, #aandbabe kendra and austin had already experienced a lot of life together before planning their intimate washington wedding. from being teammates on a soccer team to partners navigating a long distance relationship, these two built a strong foundation and fun, travel-filled life ultimately leading to a proposal at long beach, washington. while the pandemic prevented them from having the first wedding of their dreams, these two got to experience two special days and realized the joy of spacing these memories out. "given we had already been married - it was nice to be more relaxed through the getting ready process and really like 'not sweating the small stuff' kind of feeling" kendra adds. what was undoubtedly a long road and difficult planning process, ended with smiles, sunshine, and a t-swift lyric or two.
matching the rustic elegant decor of their outdoor grove wedding, kendra looked breathtaking in 'jasmine' by laudae. the gown's plunging v-neckline and all over petite flower lace was eye-catching. with illusion sides and a statement crochet cut-out bridal train, this laudae wedding dress matched the growing vines crawling across their unique wedding ceremony pergola. shaded by the vegetation and twinkling in the light of the geometric lanterns hung above, kendra and austin shared their first married kiss before departing for bride and groom portraits along the vineyard's grounds and forest trails.
kendra's twisted half up, half down bridal hairstyle was the perfect amount of easy and elegant. we love how romantic this relaxed wedding hairstyle looked with the illusion back of this bold laudae bridal gown. complete with a statement floral earring and simple tulle veil, kendra's boho-glam bridal look dreamingly fit jm cellars' remote and refined wedding style.
after kicking up dust on the gravel dance floor and sipping on champagne and wine, kendra and austin soaked in the sights of all their loved ones in one place. grateful for getting the big day they'd always dreamed of, kendra and austin couldn't end their wedding night without an ode to taylor swift via the runner that decorated their high-top sweetheart table.
underneath their colorful floral arrangement, votives, and drink glasses, a golden script of lyrics from taylor's 'you are in love' song can be made out. from kisses on sidewalks to kisses under wedding arbors, kendra and austin's marvelous outdoor wedding in washington was such a charming and cozy wine cellar celebration.
