The bride wore her mother’s wedding dress, updated with subtle alterations to suit her own style. She approached tradition in a practical way, keeping what was meaningful while making it her own. Her career in environmental science has shaped her perspective on balance and continuity, and the choice to wear the gown reflected that. It carried both history and individuality, linking her to the past while fitting seamlessly into the present. The result was simple, elegant, and without unnecessary detail — much like the vows the couple exchanged. In the end, the dress stood as a connection between generations, a personal statement of values, and an effortless expression of her style.

Alternative Wedding Cake Inspiration

Never wanting to follow the crowd, this couple had a ‘cheese’ cake as their wedding cake and cupcakes for those who wanted something sweeter. Stilton, Cheddar, and Brie were paired with wine in the evening to offer a classy and sophisticated end to the evening.
