MEET OUR INSPIRATION BRIDES OK- HERE IS THE DEAL...between me and Matthew (hubs), we have 6 sisters/sister-inlaws with completely different styles. These chicks (Claire, Joy, Leanne, Lindsey, Rachel, and Alix) were my inspiration for the design concept for The Engaged Collective. Our teams of amazing wedding vendors have created “Bridal Moments” inspired by the mood boards below and depict each of my sisters’ wedding styles. From glam to rustic, and classic to boho, you will see it all! Which style resonates with you? Come tell me! ~Steph

Rachel
a southern classic

Creating Rachel's look... Bride Rachel...A classic, southern beauty marrying her hunky, athletic, college sweetheart. She loves all shades of blush and he loves his sports teams. Regions Field made the perfect venue choice -with a classic ballroom with floor to ceiling windows and the energy of being on a baseball field. Soft shades of blush and nude in the florals and paper brought an updated look to traditional pink tones. Katie and Alec (photographers) came prepared with a gorgeous ring box and bottle of perfume. Diamonds Direct let us borrow the perfect jewels for the shoot.
Team leader and wedding planner, Amanda Robbins with AMR Bridal & Events pulled together this look with the help of the amazing designers at Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market. Amanda tells us “This was a perfect balance of masculine and feminine. The baseball field made it manly and the soft, graceful decor was perfect for a classic bride.

Joy
european inspired modern
Creating Joy's look...
Joy’s look was inspired by her love for European culture and travel. She has a classic-chic style and wanted to incorporate this into her wedding look. Joy wants to have an intimate ceremony with her closest family and friends, followed by a five star dinner with fine wines from around the globe.

Team leader and wedding planner, Rachael Grammer, had a blast working with her team. She said “I loved the creativity that we all got to contribute. We don’t usually get to start with a blank canvas. This was an enjoyable process for this team of vendors.” Rachael is known for developing a bond with all of her brides. “They become family to me. I love what I do.”
Lindsey bohemian glam
Creating Lindsey's Look...
Lindsey’s look incorporates bohemian attitude with a fashion maven’s style. Pursell Farms was the perfect setting to help create the boho-glam photo shoot. The grazing longhorn cattle, wildflower fields, meandering streams and 5-star service and accommodations make this venue the epitome of nature’s tranquility and modern luxury.
Team leader and wedding planner, Jayna Goedecke, gracefully accepted the challenge of creating Lindsey’s look. “A lot of brides love the boho look right now. My team tried to take boho and glam it up a bit. It was a challenge for all of us...we hope brides are inspired by the results!” Jayna is a busy mom of two babies but she does not slow her down from providing outstanding service to her bridal clients.
