Ashley and Bryan, who met in Florida and moved to Arizona together, were married on March 5, 2017.
Ashley wore a dramatic strapless gown with a beaded bodice and tiered, ruffled skirt. She accessorized with a lace-edged veil and stud earrings. Her bouquet featured pale-colored roses and peonies with eucalyptus accents. Her five bridesmaids wore pale blush-colored, spaghetti-strap, full-length dresses, and carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Bryan dressed to impress in a blue suit with a blue paisley tie, suspenders, and a white flower boutonniere. His four groomsmen wore matching blue suits with solid blue ties, suspenders, and white flower boutonnieres.
Ashley walked down an aisle lined with white rose petals. She and Bryan read personalized vows to each other.
During the reception, Bryan’s best man welcomed Ashley to the family and advised the newlyweds on the importance of communication. The maid of honor, Ashley’s best friend since they were teenagers, called Ashley the sister she never had.
Bryan and Ashley shared their first dance as man and wife to a Jason Mraz song. Ashley and her father danced to “Butterfly Kisses,” and Bryan and his mother danced to “What a Wonderful World.”
The wedding cake had a brushed effect on its three tiers and was decorated with a cascade of live flowers.
The newlyweds left the reception under the signature sparkler send-off.
We hope Ashley and Brian share a long and happy life together!
