Check out this bold floral pattern skirt, and a new take on the unity ceremony.

We're always looking for couples who let their personalities shine. We ADORE Chauncey and Chad for precisely that.

Okay, let's talk about that SKIRT. The color. The print. The POCKETS. We've seen all these trends separately, and together they're ready for a party. Chauncey was a bridal dress consultant and saw a lot through the doors. “I wanted different. I saw so many dresses and trends that were beautiful, but weren’t all that different,” Chauncey told us.

It was years before meeting Chad that she saw her dream dress online, but when the time came to plan her big day, the dress had been discontinued (not to mention, expensive). So with her friends at Bridal Elegance and the help of Hands to Hearts Custom Sewing, they turned a prom dress into a stunning skirt and matching tie for Chad. We are IN LOVE for sure. Another unique detail was their unity ceremony, or should we say "branding ceremony". They both grew up on farms around cattle, and Chad is involved with rodeos. “In our eyes, a brand is a symbol of forever, there's no taking it back, and that's how we view our marriage.” Special, personal details are what can make your day uniquely yours. We encourage all our couples to find theirs!
