MICHELLE'S BRIDAL AND TUXEDO

Let us always meet each other with a  smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

wedding venue The way I found my venue was on Facebook and friends sharing Hudson Farm photos. The setting was a barn and it looked so beautiful. I just knew that was where I wanted to get married.

Our wedding day went by so quick, but I remember it like yesterday. The guys went golfing that morning, as we got ready. It was a nice morning and got warmer as the day went on. We started taking pictures and before we knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle. We went through our wonderful ceremony and walked out and came back and dismissed everyone.

After the wedding we went for a ride and took more pictures at my parents farm and at Atties. Then came back to Hudson Farm and enjoyed a wonderful meal from Niemerg’s Steak House. Then we danced the night away and enjoyed the night with friends and family.  MICHELLE'S BRIDAL AND TUXEDO

What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?

My favorite part about planning my wedding was that I had my mom to help me. We made a lot of the decorations and had everything laid out to show me what it would look like.Â

What was the inspiration for your wedding and decor?

The inspiration for my wedding was a Country theme of burlap and lace.

What was your favorite part of your wedding day?

My favorite part of our actual day was putting my wedding dress on and seeing my husband Carl for the first time before the wedding.

MICHELLE'S BRIDAL AND TUXEDO

the look When I went in to Michelle’s they were so welcoming and nice. Lauren Allen was the one who helped me pick my wedding dress. I told her what I wanted for my wedding dress and she knew exactly what to pick. I tried on my picks and then she had some she picked out. I tried three dresses and the first one I tried on I knew I loved. But we tried on more just in case and went back to my first one and had jewelry put on along with a veil and fell in love.
