Having a guide and/or checklist for you as the bride for the week of your wedding can not only do wonders for your stress level, but also gives you more time to enjoy having all of your family and friends in Orlando for the wedding week. I personally had a checklist my sister in law created for me for my wedding week and I can’t tell you how much it actually saved me from forgetting things.

Our newest obsession might just be an elegant backyard wedding. Our bride, Ingrid, and her husband, Jake celebrate their wedding at Ingrid’s parents’ home in Windermere, 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!
