We are so happy to introduce you to our gorgeous bride, Christine!
For her fall wedding, Christine looked absolutely stunning in a long sleeved gown by Essense of Australia!
We are so in love with this dress - from the lace design to the beautiful back, it’s perfect!

Christine worked with Sprout Home in Chicago to create all of her beautiful bouquets!
We are loving the fall vibes in all of her flowers!

Before taking their walk down the aisle, Christine and her dad shared a super special first look!

Christine married her hubby, Hunter, in an indoor ceremony at Four Corners Winery in Valparaiso!
Moving the ceremony inside was at first a disappointment, but it quickly turned into one of the most memorable parts of the day…
“Our ceremony got rained out so it was inside. Which was a bummer, but the best part was seeing a rainbow as the ceremony ended and we started our photos.”

The reception was also held inside the barn and was decorated in perfect vintage-boho style!

How did the newlyweds first meet?
“We met in the 7th grade in math class. We became best friends.”
We love that! How did Hunter pop the question?
“Hunter proposed to me on a mountain top in Alaska while we were on vacation.”
Did she know it was coming??
“I was hoping he would propose but it was a complete surprise. I cried like a baby!”
After she got the ring, it was time for Christine to get the dress!
“I had the best experience shopping for my dress. I had the picture saved of my dress that I ended up buying and loved it instantly. I didn’t want to take it off.”
What was Christine’s favorite {and not-so-favorite} part of the planning process?
“My favorite part of planning was doing it together. Having a fiancé that wanted to help and make it our dream wedding was so special.
My least favorite part was organizing all of the last minute details and always feeling like I was forgetting something.”
Does she have any words of wisdom for brides who are currently planning their own big day?
“My best advice is to just make sure you get what you want! Everyone has an opinion and wants to share their experience but it is about what you and your fiancé want!”
We couldn’t agree more!
Congratulations, Christine and Hunter!! Make sure you check out more of their beautiful wedding photos in the gallery below!
