Click here to read about a romantic outside wedding at Club Lake Plantation. Wendy shares her experience of finding her wedding dress, why her bridal bouquet was so special, and her number one tip.

 Just as there is the honeymoon phase in a new marriage, as a recent Bride, I can attest to the same overwhelming joy immediately following a recent engagement. You try to enjoy it as much as you can, bottling up that over-the-moon bliss of this life changing moment, but before you know it in a blink of an eye you’re three weeks engaged and diving right into wedding planning mode. The questions of venues and menus, photographers and videographers suddenly weigh heavier than the new rock on your finger. 

Quiet moments to reflect on the true purpose of The Big Day seem few and far between in the wedding planning process, with contracts and vendor availability looming around every corner. 

For me, I was able to find these pockets of tranquility in choosing my wedding gown.
