June 21st 2019 was hands down, the best day of my life. 

Sean and I were married in the Provo City Center Temple in Provo, Utah at 10:00am on June 21st 2019. It was the most special experience of my life and it manifested to me the true sacredness of marriage and the importance of family and our relationships with our Heavenly Parents and our Savior, Jesus Christ, who love us. 

I wanted to create a post with all of the details of our wedding day, both for our own memories and for others who have asked me for recommendations.

The Ring: 

Sean created my ring with the team at Sierra West Jewelers and let me tell ya, he did a great job. Simple pear shape with a dainty diamond band – I love it. 

I also have a simple, tiny gold wedding band from Mejuri to match the gold on my engagement ring. 

Sean also opted for a copper silicone ring from Enso Rings. 

The Dress: 

I purchased my dress from Pritchett Bridal in Orem, Utah. It was a dreamy experience. They have gorgeous gowns and their ability to create that iconic “bridal experience” is unmatched. If you know me, you know I am extremely minimalistic so my dress needed to reflect that. We started with a very basic silhouette, in a stunning yet comfortable fabric, added a sparkly belt and that was all I needed. 

The Venue: 

Obviously, like I mentioned above, Sean and I were married in the Provo City Center Temple. But, our reception was held at Willow Springs in Springville, Utah. It is a gorgeous venue and fit our vibe perfectly. There is actually an amazing story behind choosing our venue, photographer, and videographer, that I have to share. 

In November of 2018, right after Sean and I had decided to get married, I stumbled upon a sponsored ad on Instagram for a wedding giveaway. This giveaway included a full day reservation at the Willow Springs venue, as well as both a wedding photographer and videographer for the day. It was incredible. I remember thinking – I never win things like this so why not just give it a shot? I didn’t tell anyone, not even Sean, because I knew I wasn’t going to win something like that and we weren’t even engaged yet. 

Well, on December 3rd, 2018, I happened to notice that the giveaway group was going live on Instagram to announce the winner. I was eating dinner with friends and sneakily listening to the live stream when they announced my name as the winner. My mouth dropped wide open. I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked as you can imagine, and Sean, who had no idea that I had even entered, was both surprised and thrilled when I told him. It was a huge blessing for us. 

The Photographer: 

Our photographer for both our first look/bridal shots at the Salt Flats and our wedding day photos was the extremely talented Alex Trujillo. Here are the links to his Instagram and website. I am absolutely in love with his photography and he did an incredible job capturing our special day. If you are in the Utah area and need a photographer, Alex and his wife Elise are the perfect team. They also do video and floral design as well. 

The Videographer: 

Likewise, we had an amazing videographer, Justin Taylor. For me, aside from our actual sealing, our wedding video was the most important detail. Justin perfectly captured the genuine joy and excitement of the day. I still watch our wedding video often and cry because all of those emotions come flooding back. It is so special. My #1 tip for brides…invest in your wedding video, it is worth it. Here are the links to Justin’s Instagram and website.

And here is the link to our wedding video!!

The Caterer: 

If you know Sean and I, you know we love good food and Marvellous Catering, based out of Provo, Utah did not disappoint. Our menu included pulled pork & cornbread bites, beef brisket sliders, sweet potato fries, and spinach salad. We also had mini creme brulee, chocolate cream cheese cake, and banana pudding shooters for dessert, in addition to our wedding cake from Provo Bakery (simple vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream). It was all delicious. The Marvellous team is also extremely professional and took care of every detail, from setting up our buffett to taking out the garbage at the end of the night, they were 100% worth every penny. They even made little plates of food for Sean and I to take with us to Park City for our honeymoon…we felt so blessed to have them. 

Our reception was everything we wanted it to be. The food and simple sage & white color palette created a classic southern garden party feel, while the basketball court and cornhole boards created the casual, fun vibe that we wanted. Sean and I opted out of a traditional receiving line and instead, we walked around and were able to chat and thank everyone, it couldn’t have been more our style. 

We danced the night away and then left with a sparkler send off to an adorable condo in Park City for a fun few days enjoying the lovely summer weather, playing at the Olympic Park, and eating lots of yummy food. 

Even a year later, Sean and I still feel so incredibly thankful for our family and friends who made it the most special day for us. We were surrounded by so many people who traveled far distances to be with us and celebrate our marriage. There are no words to express our love and gratitude for everyone that made our day perfect. 

1 year down, eternity to go!!
