Jordan + Justin
June 3, 2023
“My experience at House of White was absolutely amazing! My stylist, Hannah, was excellent! I described my style, and what I was looking for and she pulled me the PERFECT dress! I was able to personalize my dress by ordered off-the-shoulder straps to add to my it. Hannah knew what I was looking for in a wedding dress, and knew that off-the-shoulder straps were a MUST HAVE for me. She managed to pull the perfect dress that had EVERYTHING I wanted, except for the straps. I told her I loved it, and it could possibly be the one, I just really wanted to have those off-the-shoulder straps. She went above and beyond, and got a set of straps that were cut from a piece of lace, and put those on to show me that the dress could be customized to make it the PERFECT dress for me. I could not have asked for a better experience, or a better stylist.” - Jordan

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BAE!
“My husband's name is Justin Austin. We met in high school, but did not start dating until after he had graduated. He had our photographer message me asking if we could do some modeling for her. I immediately thought something was up, and waited until I saw him to say anything because I wanted to see his reaction. He acted like he was dreading taking photos for hours, and even told me rings were on backorder (this was in 2021 when things were still crazy due to COVID). After about an hour of our photo session, they take me up this hill, right at sunset. There was a blanket down with rose petals spread out on it. He immediately starts shaking and acting nervous, then pops the question! He even had our moms there for it!”
WEDDING DAY ADVICE FOR FUTURE BRIDES
“Go with the flow! You can plan everything to go a certain way, you can schedule your timeline, but don't expect it to go perfect. I gave my entire bridal party, and my parents, individualized itinerary's. Some things went perfectly according to the plan, and some things did not. Just remember, no matter what, the day is going to go perfect! Even if things get thrown off schedule a little bit, or something is forgotten... at the end of the day, you are married to the love of your life! That alone, will make the day perfect!”
FAVORITE ACCESSORY FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY
“Aside from my ring, my favorite accessory from my wedding day was probably my veil. I love the earrings that I wore, I love the backdrop necklace, and both the heels I wore for the ceremony and the Nike Blazers I changed into for the reception. However, nothing could top the veil that I got from House of White. It was stunning. It was absolutely not what I went in looking for, when I was looking for a veil, but it ended up being one of my favorite pieces! It was absolutely stunning!”

A SPECIAL MOMENT FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY
“There were so many special moments on our wedding day, that it makes it hard to pick just one. I received many thoughtful gifts from my bridesmaids and my mom while we were all getting ready. I shared a precious first look and daddy/daughter dance with my dad. Of course, the walk down the aisle was absolutely perfect! It was an outdoor wedding, so Justin was turned around, with his back to our guests until I got behind a set of freestanding barn doors. As soon as I got behind the doors, his best man told him to turn around. The song "I Get to Love You" reached its chorus, and the doors opened. He was already bawling his eyes out, seeing me walk down the aisle. It was every girls wedding dream. When I got to him, we joined hands, both with tears in our eyes. There was a butterfly, a bright orange one, that had been flying around the night before during our wedding rehearsal. As I walked down the aisle, the butterfly fluttered around. Multiple guests mentioned seeing it. It lingered around throughout the entire ceremony. My grandpa, who was set to marry us, passed away less than 4 months before our wedding. We know that this butterfly was him, enjoying our wedding ceremony with us.”
Thank you for sharing your day with us! We loved sharing a small part of it with you!
