Real Bride An and Tyler

Real Essense of Australia Bride An + Tyler

An and Tyler tied the knot on a beautiful sun-soaked day in Wyncote, Pennsylvania. With so many gorgeous details and styling, this dream celebration is one not to be missed. The florals by Mark Kintzel Design that filled the day with endless romance are a sight to behold. 

An’s beautiful wedding dress was the exclamation mark on the day. She wore the gorgeous Essense of Australia Style D3063. This sexy sheath bridal gown displays the ideal combination of sheer lace detail and soft, clean crepe for a bridal look that is classic yet modern.  

Each incredible image captured by Addison George Photography is more beautiful than the last. Elegance is definitely the theme at this wedding, with the prettiest pops of pastel colors that made the day look like a work of art. Keep reading to fall in love with all the special moments and carefully curated details.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL!   

We were on an adventure photo session with a photographer during a hike. It snowed the day before, so the ground and trees were still covered. We hiked down to the biggest waterfall at the state park.  

We gave each other a big hug as part of the prompt from the photographer, but then Tyler got down on one knee and proposed. We were both emotional, and the photographer captured the whole thing. It’s so special to  have those photos to reminisce on.  

After that, we popped champagne. It started to snow, so we took a few more photos before heading back up. We then went to a nice restaurant in town for dinner, where Tyler surprised me by having our best friends there waiting for us.

DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE. HOW DID YOU WANT TO LOOK ON YOUR WEDDING DAY? TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS-SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.  

My bridal style was classic and romantic, with a touch of whimsical. My shopping experience was busy. I wanted to see all the possible wedding gown options, so I visited several boutiques and tried on many dresses.  

I had thought I would like an A-line dress because that is the style I am usually comfortable with wearing, but Silk Bridal had me try on a more fitted gown, and it felt so right. I was still unsure of the dress design, so they brought in a few more fitted dresses for me to try. I fell in love with Essense of Australia Style D3063 because it had the details I wanted. It has a gorgeous back and train, buttons and a few appliqués.

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING. WHAT WERE YOUR THEME AND COLORS? HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR WEDDING PERSONAL TO YOUR LOVE STORY?  

The theme was classic and romantic, with a hint of whimsical — which matched the style of my wedding dress perfectly. The color palette was centered around pastel hues, and it included dusty lavender, blush, sage green, navy, white and gold. We made our wedding personal by having fun fact napkins about us and custom Chinese wedding guest cloth. Incorporating our dog was important to us, so we customized drink stirrers with our dog on them and had a figurine of our dog on our wedding cake.

WHAT WAS THE MOST SPECIAL MEMORY FROM THAT DAY? 

The most special memory from the day was our first look. I was so nervous and stressed all morning, but as soon as I saw Tyler for our first look, all those feelings dissipated, and I felt so comfortable and calm. We read our private vows to one another, and it was so intimate and meaningful. It was lovely to have that moment together by ourselves because it was like we were finally together to continue through the rest of the busy day.
