Married: 4/10/2026
The Lightner Museum, St. Augustine Florida
Congrats Samantha & Robert!
Dress: Style 44499 - Sincerity by Justin Alexander
Embroidered lace ball gown featuring a plunging V-neckline with a delicate mesh inset and slender spaghetti straps. The bodice is adorned with intricate lace embroidery cascading across both the front and back, creating a refined, romantic silhouette. An asymmetrical tiered tulle skirt flows gracefully, finished with horsehair hems and coordinating lace appliqués woven throughout each layer for added dimension and movement. The open back is elegantly detailed with buttons that trail to the waist, completing the structured yet ethereal design. Finished with a chapel-length train for a timeless bridal statement.
Samantha paired her Sincerity gown with a stunning veil by Justin Alexander.
What did you love most about your gown?
“What I loved most about my gown was how it made me feel—completely held, confident, and effortlessly beautiful. It was the perfect balance of everything: structured yet soft, weighted yet light, dreamy yet grounded. The ivory color, delicate floral appliqué, plunging neckline, and corset bodice gave me that supported, secure feeling, while the cascading, ethereal skirt brought all the movement and magic. And the back—the dip and those tiny buttons—every detail felt intentional and perfect.”
What was the most memorable moment of your wedding?
“The most memorable part of our wedding was our private vows in the garden before the ceremony. No cameras, no audience—just us, fully present with each other and all of our real feelings. It was so tender, so intimate, and so deeply connecting. And ending the night with a final dance, just the two of us, felt like the perfect full-circle moment.”
Bridal Advice from Samantha
“Slow down, feel it all, and be truly present. Make intentional time for just you and your partner—and don’t forget to actually eat the cake (not just the first bite!).”
Tell Us More
“It was everything I could have hoped for and more—and it truly went by way too fast. I wish I could relive it over and over again.”
