EMMA & GRACE BRIDE

Emily & Ben Images by: Khanh Hogland Photography “After a perfect proposal on the beaches of Mexico, we thought we had found our wedding site in Lyons, Colorado. Weeks later, a historic flood washed through the area and completely demolished our wedding venue. We took this as a sign and decided to completely change our idea of our perfect wedding from a large wedding to an intimate, destination wedding at Sunstone Vineyards and Winery in Santa Ynez, California. We arrived at Sunstone Villa and were immediately struck by the breathtaking views of the Santa Ynez mountains and the romantic ambiance. The Villa is built from imported limestone from a small village in France, and wood beams and roof tiles reclaimed from a 19th century lavender factory, once owned by Queen Victoria. The Tuscan-inspired Villa boasts 8,500 square feet of luxury living space on the winery’s 55 acre estate. After settling into our new wedding getaway, we had a tasting at the winery and enjoyed the final product of the perfectly manicured vineyards surrounding the Villa.” -Emily

“Emily was very close with her ‘Nana’, who did not live to see her get married, but she was certainly there in spirit. We were reminded of this by Emily’s gorgeous wedding bouquet, which had a small picture of Emily’s Nana pinned to it.

We’re sure her Nana was smiling with Emily when she walked down the aisle.” -Ben 16

“We’re very grateful for making the choice to have an intimate ceremony and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It was a perfect day and we’ll remember it forever as we do our best to live by the words of our vows as we share the rest of our days together.”- Emily & Ben 21

“My favorite part of the day and the most memorable was definitely our ‘first look’ before the ceremony! I was so incredibly excited and nervous to see him. We ended up being so happy we made the decision to see each other before the ceremony.

It was a really special and intimate moment to spend some time together before and definitely helped to calm our nerves so we could relax and celebrate the moment during the ceremony!” - Sophie

“My advice is to not stress about the little things and make sure you are present in each moment. It’s so important to try and enjoy every second you possibly can because the day goes by in the blink of an eye.

In the end, the most important part is celebrating the love you have for one another and sharing it with your family and friends!�- Sophie 58

“ We were surprised with a beautiful old Rolls Royce and after the ceremony, they drove Carson and I around the stunning property.

I’ll never forget that moment- it was pure bliss. We had just said our vows and promised each other forever in front of our closest friends and family. It’s just one of my favorite moments! ” -Anna 81

EMMA & GRACE REAL BRIDE

Grace Gives Images by: Ali & Garrett Photography

Every day at Emma & Grace, we try to remember how much we have been given and how much we have to be thankful for! We love our city, we love our staff, we love our brides and we love that every day we have the privilege to be a part of one of the biggest days of a women’s life. So to show our thanks, we do our best to give back whenever we can. One of the ways we like to give back to our community is through our Grace Gives Campaign! Grace Gives is an opportunity for an awesome couple to receive a free wedding dress and alterations from Emma & Grace.

This year, we also teamed up with some extraordinary vendors that also donated their services for this special couple’s wedding! The gifts included 50% off a photography package from Ali & Garrett Photography, free engagement session from Rachel Havel Photography, free florals from LadyBird Poppy and Merci Bouquet and a hair and makeup gift from Matthew Morris Salon and Skincare! After going through numerous nominations, we found a couple who has spent their time giving back to our community. A couple who puts others before themselves and chooses to give even when they are not asked or expected. Meet Michaela & Brady!

“It was a joy and privilege to help Michaela find her dream dress! She looked absolutely stunning in her Pronovias lace fit and flare! We created a custom detachable lace keyhole strap that she wore during the ceremony and took off for the party!�

“My favorite part of shopping for my wedding dress was knowing when I walked into Emma & Grace that I would find my dress. I had been to one bridal salon an hour an a half before and just didn’t feel excited about anything I tried. When I came to Emma & Grace, not only were all the dresses beautiful, but the whole space and experience just fit me!” - Molly

“I was exhausted from trying on so many dresses at different stores prior to arriving at Emma & Grace. The environment and staff at Emma & Grace helped lift my spirits and enthusiasm to move forward to find the perfect dress. As I walked out in the dress, I felt perhaps was soon to be the ‘one’, I heard 7 gasps and everyone lifted their green ‘yes’ signs I had made. I looked at my mom and cried for I knew that she knew that it was ‘the dress’.Tears of happiness shed beneath the eyes of all my favorite women as they knew the journey my mom and I had traveled together up to that monumental point.”

-Amanda

“I had my dress made by Mayra. Spending time designing it with her was an absolute blast! She is such a gem!” -Leah

“My dress was the first one we picked off the rack. I was not walking down the aisle unless I was wearing pink. The second I tried the dress on, we knew it was the one. My mom cried. I was beaming. It was perfect!

I wish I could wear it everywhere!”- Paige

104

“Coming to Emma & Grace is like coming to my best friend’s cool loft. My last dress fitting was so fun, relaxing and felt like home. I was so sad that I wasn’t going to come back again!” -Rachael

“I felt so comfortable at Emma & Grace! I knew the dress I wanted as soon as I saw it, but I tried on a giant ball gown first because I didn’t want to get the first dress I tried on... so I got the second!”

-Elissa
