Intimt Och Avslappnat Elopement På Stranden: Daysha + Josh

När man tänker elopement på stranden, tänker man kanske mest på varmt väder och sol. Daysha och Josh däremot, valde att gifta sig på stranden under vinterhalvåret. I februari 2021 sa de ja till varandra på en vacker strand med bara fotograf och vigselförättare närvarande. Det blev en otroligt mysig och intim stund, men framför allt blev det ett annorlunda strandbröllop tack vare att brudparet ville sätta sin egna personliga prägel på dagen. Vi lämnar över ordet till bruden Daysha som berättar lite mer om vigseln.

Inspirationen för bröllopet

Daysha: We didn't really have a inspiration to our wedding day. We just went with concepts that seemed effortless to us! I would say our style for that day was a bit boho. It consisted of the green leafy flowers we chose for our bouquet and the style of my dress. We chose not to incorporate any cultural/religious traditions in our day. Our officiant Melissa was good about making the ceremony tailored to us, which we really appreciated.

Så träffades brudparet

Daysha: We met through a mutual friend that I went through college with. During the last day of our college program, he mentioned that there was a friend named Josh that I should go out with. A few weeks later, we had our first date on the 4th of July in Forest Park. We watched fireworks, ate barbecue, and enjoyed some music by Flo Rida. Josh brought a blanket for us to sit on during the performance. The blanket had a kitten printed on it which I found to be hilarious. It was the best first date I've ever had.

For the proposal, Josh took me to a local jeweler to pick out the exact ring I wanted a few weeks before he proposed. We were laying in bed one night watching television and he pulled it out and asked me the question. We're not exciting people.

Daysha: I knew I didn't want the traditional bouquet in my wedding. Simply Eloped made the process of choosing a bouquet easy. They sent us many options and one stood out to me. It was a green leafy bouquet that had no colored flowers in it. I wanted the focus to be on my dress rather than the bouquet. So picking a plain bouquet seemed right to me! I believe the florals played a big part in the style of my wedding it gave it more of a boho/effortless theme we were going for.

Brudparets klädsel

Daysha: I went to the The Bridal Shoppe in Crystal City, Missouri for my wedding dress because I've known of people in the past who had a good experience with them. I booked a private appointment on a Saturday to shop. I invited two of my best friends, my mom, and my aunt. The Bridal Shoppe provided us with snack foods and wine (wine really helped my nerves that day.)

I went in thinking I would chose a long sleeve dress, because I typically enjoy being covered up. My bridal consultant recommended a different style of dress which was the opposite of what I envisioned. It hugged my curves, it sparkled which is necessary, and it was very boho which felt like me. I cried after saying "yes to the dress" which was partly due to me being thrilled I found the dress, and partly due to the many glasses of wine.

For Josh's tux, we went the easy route. At a local department store, we found a light blue tux on clearance, bought it, and didn't look back. My husband is a little different minded when it comes to fashion than me. All he cares is about is the price tag.
