” My dress was THE favorite detail of the wedding, but I also loved my starfish hairpiece. It matched my dress and even though it was small, it was impossible not to notice. I really enjoyed tying in little details of the beach along with my classic ideas—the best of both worlds.” — Ashley

” Our wedding day was the best day of my life thus far. It was absolutely perfect. We rented a large beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We wanted it to be intimate, so we had our siblings and their children, parents, groomsmen and bridesmaids as guests. My favorite part was that our beloved dogs were also part of the wedding, as Dog of Honor and Best Dog.” — Ashley

” I decided to do a first look with my Dad and all three of my younger brothers. I came down the stairs as they had their backs to me. When they turned around, the emotion was over-pouring. My very stoic brother who never shows much emotion even shed a tear. Other than my Husband (and dog) they are the most iconic men in my life. To share that moment was unforgettable.” — Ashley
