Real Bride Angie and her now-husband Shawn’s lives intersected at a time busier than ever—Angie, within the thick of nursing school and Shawn, studying for law school. Nonetheless, that didn’t keep them from falling in love. Shawn proposed the day after Angie’s birthday—a celebration to recollect.
The celebrations only continued with their wedding day, a day filled with nods to Angie’s Mexican heritage, from a mariachi band to a menu of traditional Mexican drinks.
Keep reading for more about how Angie achieved her dream wedding look, sparkling in Martina Liana Style 1367.
ANGIE, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
Shawn and I met in San Diego while I used to be in nursing school and he was in law school. He was originally going to propose on my birthday, but I by accident spoiled the surprise by planning a party for myself. As a substitute, he proposed to me at Newport Beach the day after my birthday. When he saw me for our first look, he cried.
I wanted a clean, timeless wedding. Our theme was entirely black and white with nods to my Mexican heritage tied in through the decorations, table numbers and signage. Martina Liana Style 1367 had just the proper combination of vintage glamor and modern romance I used to be searching for in a marriage dress. The stunning, off-the-shoulder sleeves, sheer back and wonderful floral lace details were so luxurious and the glitter overlay added an exquisite touch of shimmer.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS, TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
Our wedding colours were black and white, and our signage included words in Spanish to spotlight my Mexican heritage. Our first dance song was played by a live mariachi band, and our table numbers were in Spanish with a papel-picado design. Our dogs wore Filipino barons with little Mexican and Filipino flags on them, and we served traditional Mexican drinks to maintain the theme and celebrations going!
Cheers to Angie and Shawn!
