Another wedding captured by the fantastic {Joy Marie Photography}. We were in awe of Ashlee’s shoes and dress and Joy Marie got the scoop. “My dress and shoes: I received my shoes as a gift from the designer and her line is called {Dezario}, and they were the most comfortable shoes!!! I wore them the entire night! You can find them at Nordstrom. My dress I purchased at {IBEX} in Los Angeles. It was designed by “Allure Bridal”. The story behind the display of generations of wedding dresses: Grandparents have played a very important role in Ryan’s and my life so we wanted to have them involved. To show are gratitude wedding, my mom had this great idea to display generations off wedding gowns and shoes. It was our way of showing appreciation for the people who we love and have been our examples of true commitment and love. It definitely made our families feel special and many people mentioned the love they actual felt at the wedding because it wasn’t just about us it was about our families coming together as one. ” This fantastic wedding was held at {The Mormon Temple} of Santa Monica, California. Ashlee’s mother served as the wedding coordinator as well as a bridesmaid. Check out more on Joy Marie’s {Blog}.

I LOVE their matching tattoos!
I like this wedding, but I thought this site was for Southern weddings – this is in california- right?…just seems a little misleading…I like when you feature weddings from the south! This is one place i know I can find them…thanks!
Hi Monica,Your right, this wedding did take place in California. We do like to showcase weddings from around the United States for our brides to get inspired and find something they might like to included in their wedding. Don’t worry we will keep featuring weddings from the South. Thanks for the comment. Laura
Thanks Lara- that makes sense! Just love seeing Southern locations get attention! but this wedding is really nice too! :)
