The Garden Villa, Winter Park Florida
Congrats Rachel & Antwein!
Dress: SOLARA Adore by Justin Alexander
Blending clean lines and fun flirty embellishments, this wedding dress won't disappoint. The sheer illusion bodice, with its daring plunge, is decorated with pearls and shimmering 3D flowers that cascade past the waist and detail the back of the puddle length train. Side illusion cutouts add a sexy element while the contouring crepe fit and flare skirt will enhance every curve.
What did you love most about your gown?
“I absolutely love the fit and that it was form fitting. It was sexy yet eloquent, and it had beautiful details like flowers and pearls within the design. I loved the open back and sweetheart neckline. I was impressed by the quality of the dress and how it held up with dancing and all the movement that my wedding involved. It was also very comfortable to wear and I never felt stiff or limited to my movement because of the fit or texture of my dress.”
What was the most memorable moment of your wedding?
“I absolutely loved my last dance with my husband where it was just us dancing alone in the venue to take in the very last moments of the night.”
Bridal Advice from Rachel
“Nothing can prepare you for how overwhelming the day/night can be with all of your loved ones present and the pull to want to spend quality time with all of them. In the planning process, try to enjoy it and follow your gut, have honest conversations with your husband with what kind of day/night you anticipate, and don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to do.”
Tell Us More
“Despite it torrential down pouring and our plan for 2/3 of the wedding to be outside, it was still the best day ever. It was 6 hours at a beautiful venue with all of our family and closest friends and I love reminiscing on every moment of it. I really leaned on my vendors to bring everything together indoors instead of outdoors and they did a phenomenal job.”
