The Wedding
of
Emma & Nick
Nick and Emma knew they wanted to do something different for their wedding, so they decided to elope out west! In the summer of 2021, they left Ohio and took a huge trip to find their perfect elopement location. Emma & Nick traveled from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Whitefish, Montana. They traveled to Zion National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Ouray, Colorado, Grand Teton National Park, Bozeman, Montana, and Glacier National Park. Emma & Nick knew once they arrived in Montana, it was the place they wanted to get married. They spent three days hiking all over the park to find the perfect location for the day: Sun Point.
Their wedding day was everything they hoped for and more. Even though it snowed the morning before, it was sunny and 65 degrees. Nick and Emma wanted their first look at Sun Point, so they used walkie-talkies to communicate and meet on the cliff. Emma & Nick rented a beautiful house, woke up, had their favorite coffee, and then drove two hours into the park to reach their elopement location! Emma & Nick had a gorgeous but windy ceremony on Sun Point. They rented a Jeep and took the top off to enjoy the scenery, driving to The Sun Road. They ended the night having dinner and dessert with their families, who traveled to celebrate with them.
Emma’s
Bridal & Formal
Experience
Bridal and Formal was my first and only dress shopping experience. I booked the appointment well before our wedding date, expecting it to be a trial run to see what I liked/disliked. Little did I know I would find not just one but two perfect dresses. I had a dress for our elopement and another dress for the reception we were having here in Cincinnati. I actually had so much fun trying on dresses. Bridal and Formal had such a range of styles and designers. It made it really easy to find just what I was looking for.
Molly was incredible. I had no idea what shape or style would look best on me. Molly did an excellent job finding me various dresses to try on. She even convinced me to step outside my comfort zone, allowing me to find the perfect dress. She helped me find a dress that I felt beautiful and confident in.
