Bride walks herself down the aisle on her fall wedding day at The Capen House in Winter Park, Florida
She walked herself down the aisle. One of the most memorable moments of your wedding is walking down the aisle. When the guests are standing and your feeling nervous and excited and taking step by step to meet your best friend and lover at the altar. This is a moment and feeling you'll never forget. Choose to walk down your aisle how you want too. No matter what your reason is, just know your fiance, friends, and family will support your decision. Wedding traditions are changing every day. If a wedding tradition doesn't fit your lifestyle then don't follow it. Start your own tradition.
Tori described walking herself down the aisle as empowering. “It was very empowering to walk down on my own. The moment I was able to see Garrett at the end of the aisle, it was just me and him and the world disappeared.”Thank you to our rockstar bride, Tori for being yourself and following your heart!
Details from the bride about Tori and Garret’s Outside Ceremony Wedding
Where was your first date? : Our first date was at Hillstone in Winter Park.
How did your partner propose? : Garrett proposed on Thanksgiving right before dinner with our family.
What was your dress experience like? : I tried on about a dozen dresses at different places and they were all beautiful! It wasn't until Roberta insisted I try on one that looked pretty simple on the hanger, but the moment I saw myself in it I knew it was the one. Then at my final fitting, we decided last minute to create a custom cape that turned my entire wedding day look into something out of a fairytale.
Where was your wedding?: Our wedding was at The Capen House and Polasek Sculpture Gardens in Winter Park, Florida.
What wedding planning advice do you have for other brides? : Don't worry too much about everything being "perfect". Just let go and trust your vendors to do their job so you can focus on taking in every minute of the day because it goes by so fast.
Where was your honeymoon? : For our honeymoon, we're saving up to go for our 1 year anniversary and spend 2-3 weeks traveling around Europe.
