Emma + Oleg
September 25, 2025
“From the moment I walked in the door, you could feel the magic. House of White was the most intimate, personal experience, and you truly feel like the only bride in the world. The whole team and energy was a dream, and an experience I will be forever grateful for. It was truly the best kind of excitement that set the tone at the beginning of wedding planning. Shoutout to Hannah for curating the most memorable experience, and nailing it on the first try (1st dress!!).” - Emma
Gown: Grayson by MWL
Veil: Je T’aime by Toni Federici
Earrings: Ti Adoro
ABOUT THE COUPLE
“I sought out and asked Oleg out... and kissed him first too! After 6 years together, Oleg proposed. The plan was to propose on 11/9/24 (with plans to re-trace our steps to some of our favorite date spots and places where we share memories), but on Friday night on 11/8/24, he spontaneously popped the question in private in a very organic moment. It was very intimate and personal; exactly what we both wanted!”
WEDDING DAY ADVICE FOR FUTURE BRIDES
“Private first look!! This allowed us to enjoy seeing one another for the first time privately, and helped us feel excited rather than nervous. It also allowed us to get some bride/groom portraits out of the way before hand! Build a detailed schedule, but day of, let your coordinator or a bridesmaid help steer the timeline if needed. Be present in every moment and roll with the punches!!”
WHEN YOU KNEW YOUR GOWN WAS “THE ONE”
“Grayson, by MWL was the FIRST dress Hannah had me try on. I knew it was the one when I saw myself in it, and hesitantly tried 8+ more dresses... but I loved EVERYTHING about my gown more than any other. The neckline, material, fit, and luxury were everything and more than what I'd dreamed. Once we found the perfect veil, the deal was sealed.”
FAVORITE ACCESSORY FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY
“If I can't say my gown... I loved the timeless, statement veil. With my gown being very simple, yet elegant, I loved my cathedral length veil with the satin material along the edges. It was the perfect compliment.”
VENDOR ROLE CALL
“We had the BEST venders!! @nickfrancisweddings was our DREAM photographer. He captured the most special moments with such stunning quality. He partied along with us and helped us create some of our favorite memories!! Our venue, @ramblecreekvineyard was UNREAL. The luxury, quality, and service was unmatched. The chef was incredible, my bridal concierge/same day coordinator answered my texts at all hours of the day, and made the day absolutely stress free (shout out to Abi!! Our day and planning experience would not have been the same without her!). Our director was phenomenal, and the venue owner was so helpful, and personal. We used Ramble Creek's in house florist, Beau Hatton (@beauhatton__). Beau FaceTimed and texted with me many times, helping curate florals that surpassed my dreams. I mentioned this above, but he went out of his way to make our arrangements perfect by picking 60+ hydrangeas to add to our arrangements, filled his car, at no cost to us. He was the most thoughtful, down to earth vendor, and made our day perfect. @Annie.x.artistry was so sweet, and gave me the PERFECT bridal hair. Better than I could have imagined. @rubyparkerbeauty was a doll. Her consistency from my makeup trial was unreal, and she helped me curate a natural look that helped me feel and look natural, but airbrushed. I would not have changed a thing!”
A SPECIAL MOMENT FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY
“Oleg and I wanted to soak up every second of our big day. We stayed in STUNNING Airbnbs owned by our wedding venue, and got to enjoy a beautiful view of our venue the night before. We did a private first look, and exchanged private letters. Oleg and his family are Ukrainian, and we got all of our intimate, 48 person wedding out on the dance floor (along with the venue staff!!) for some Ukrainian dancing traditions. One of my parent's best friends officiated our wedding for us, and we personalized every detail of our big day. Our florist even went to his child's school to ask to cut more hydrangeas for our arrangements, filled his whole car, all to make them perfect! We were warned of unexpected storms for our big day, and the rain and clouds cleared right in time for a perfect, outdoor ceremony.”
Thank you for sharing your day with us! We loved sharing a small part of it with you!
With love,
