Our beautiful #ljmrealbride Grace, a Choreographer, met her now-husband, Sean, a Real Estate Developer, through mutual friends at a wedding. After dating, Sean popped the question the day after Christmas while on vacation at Biltmore Estate, and our bride shared that, on the day of, she knew a proposal was close!
Now that the two were engaged, it was time to start planning a wedding! Grace told us that as she entered this exciting time, she searched for vendors whose values aligned with her own, and decided to shop at LJM because of our selection of high-end designers.
At her bridal appointment, Grace worked with our expert stylist Maddy to find the dress of her dreams, and ended up saying yes to Netta BenShabu Diana, an iconic silhouette reminiscent of Hailey Bieber’s wedding day look. Grace shares that while her gown aligned with what she had originally envisioned herself in, she went into her appointment thinking she would get two wedding day looks. Instead, she stuck with one dress she loved! At her Meet the Gown appointment when the gown came in from the designer, Grace chose a dramatic yet timeless veil from Paris by Debra Moreland.
As Grace headed into more wedding planning, she shared that although it can be time consuming and draining at certain moments, seeing her vision come to life for her big day made it all worth it. She shared that her florals by Lemonwood Floral were her favorite detail of the day! Another vendor she wanted to shout out was her photographer, Clare Sloan at Swidrak & Co.
When the Columbus wedding day finally came, so did Grace’s favorite part of it all – seeing Sean waiting for her at the end of the aisle. “It’s over so soon and it’s a lot of stress in the moment but try to remember you are preparing for a MARRIAGE not just a wedding!” shared our bride when asked for advice to future #ljmrealbrides.
