Isn’t she lovely??
Introducing our beautiful bride, Hayley!
For her August wedding, Hayley looks absolutely stunning in a fitted Martina Liana gown!
Some of our favorite details include the double layer of lace and the triple strap back!

For her beautiful flowers, Hayley worked with her Aunt Heather to create all of her gorgeous bouquets!

Hayley married the love of her life, Jeff, in an outdoor ceremony at The Barn & Vineyard in Beecher, IL!
Instead of a flower girl, Hayley and Jeff entrusted their buddies to hand out beers before Hayley walked down the aisle!

After the happy couple said “I do”, everyone headed inside for the reception!
A dessert table? Yes, please!

How did the newlyweds first meet?
“We met through a mutual friend posting me on Instagram and Jeff then asking me to be a plus one to a wedding!”
How did Jeff pop the question?
“Jeff proposed at his family’s lake house where we spend all summer. We were playing bags and he had a bag engraved, had his brother throw the bag and then he went down on one knee. It was a total surprise and shock!”
After saying yes to Jeff, it was time for Hayley to say yes to the dress!
“My dress buying experience was great and I felt comfortable!
I knew my dress was the one because it was perfect in every way that I was imagining. I loved the vintage look and the way it made me feel. You just know!”
Looking back, what is Hayley’s fave memory from the wedding?
“Everything about my wedding day was amazing honestly, my favorite part was the first dance because it was intimate but fun! I was smiling the whole time.
And exchanging our own vows was beautiful!”
Does she have any advice for current brides-to-be who are planning their own big day?
“I’d say ask for help and don’t feel guilty about it. Let others help in any way possible. All the matters is that you’re in love and having fun! You can’t please everyone. Weddings show people’s true colors and you’ll be hurt but it’ll make you love the others even more that show up for you!”
Congratulations, Hayley + Jeff!
