“My experience at House of White was beyond anything I could have imagined. The venue is not only stunning but also incredibly cozy, and the ladies there go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and pampered with champagne and sweet little treats. I loved being able to bring my closest family and friends along to help me make my decision—it made the whole experience even more special. Hannah was absolutely amazing. I had a general idea of what I wanted for my wedding dress but wasn’t completely set. I shared my vision with her, and the very first dress she picked for me was the one. She still encouraged me to try a few other options to be sure, and every dress she brought out was so beautiful. But that first dress completely stole my heart. Hannah also helped me find the perfect veil and earrings to match my dress. She was so kind, patient, and supportive throughout the process, and I felt completely comfortable the whole time. I can’t thank Hannah and the team enough for making this such a memorable experience! If you’re looking for a place where you can feel truly cared for while finding your perfect dress, I highly recommend House of White.” - Erica

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BAE!

“Justin and I met through mutual friends one night while we were back-roading in an old RV. Neither of us planned to meet that night, but we were both interested as soon as we saw each other. We were a little shy, so we just exchanged some glances and told our friends we were interested in each other. The next day, Justin reached out, and we started dating shortly after that—and our adventure began. Justin’s proposal was so sweet and thoughtful. We were in Florida on vacation with his family, and the day before, he had collected sea shells for me while we were at the beach. The next morning, while I was getting ready, he brought the shells to me and had my engagement ring hidden in the middle of them. It was such a simple, heartfelt moment, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.”

WEDDING DAY ADVICE FOR FUTURE BRIDES

“To all the future brides out there: My biggest piece of advice is to stay true to yourself throughout the planning process. Don’t let anyone persuade you into decisions that don’t feel right for you and your fiancé. Your wedding day is about celebrating the two of you, so focus on what speaks to your hearts, not what’s trendy or expected. And remember, don’t sweat the small stuff—if something goes wrong, chances are no one else will notice, so only you’ll know! The day goes by faster than you can imagine, so take a deep breath, enjoy every moment, and soak it all in, especially with your new husband by your side. It’s your day, so make it exactly what you want it to be!”

FAVORITE ACCESSORY FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY

“My favorite accessory from my wedding day was the memorial charms on my bouquet. I had one for my soul dog, my grandpa, and my husband’s grandma. Even though they couldn’t be there with us in person, it brought me so much comfort to look at my bouquet and feel like they were right there with me, walking beside me every step of the way.”

A SPECIAL MOMENT FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY

“There were so many special moments on our wedding day, it’s hard to narrow it down to just one, but I’ll try to pick at least two. One of the most meaningful moments was having our dogs with me while I was getting ready. They’re such a big part of our lives, so it felt extra special to have them by my side. Another unforgettable moment was when Justin was officially welcomed into the family with our ball and chain tradition. It’s something the men in the Winiger family have passed down for generations. With each new member, the men get a ball and chain placed on their ankle, and the bride holds the key, deciding when it comes off. It was such a fun and meaningful moment, and it was amazing to see Justin join in this tradition.”

Thank you for sharing your day with us! We loved sharing a small part of it with you!
