As editor of Lehigh Valley Style and Lehigh Valley Style Weddings, I’ve spent years reviewing hundreds of local wedding submissions and working with countless regional vendors to curate our annual feature. This past September, I lived out my own happily ever after and married my husband, Will. Here’s an exclusive look inside our special day.

The first thing I did after confirming our venue was book Alisha Nycole & Co.’s team and studio...

... Her space is so dreamy and is exactly where I envisioned getting ready with my girls.

If you’re on the fence, I would 10/10 recommend doing a first look. It was without a doubt the most special, intimate moment of our whole day. Neither of us could stop crying!

Can’t say “I do” without you—my nieces and my nephew were my very special “something blue.” I initially asked each of them with a box of blue Josh Early nonpareils!

We had a very small wedding party, which made the day feel so intimate and extra special. My bridesmaid and maid of honor wore Jenny Yoo dresses in shade “Latte” from Bella Bridesmaids Allentown. Guests could seriously not stop complimenting their gowns!

Will surprised me with a stunning radiant-cut engagement ring from Murphy Jewelers, so we returned there to purchase our wedding bands.

Sarah Petryk of Allium Floral Design created the most magical floral arch for our day. It was the perfect touch to the ceremony scene.

My dad is a school bus driver so, as an ode to him, we chose Leon A. George II School Buses as our guests’ mode of transportation to and from the venue.

Guests love a drink suggestion! Our signature cocktail was a whiskey sour named after our dog, Koda. One of my best friends designed the sign for us, and it’s now a permanent fixture on our bar at home.

Any time someone asked me what the “theme” of our wedding was, I would say: champagne. A champagne cart greeted guests before the ceremony and, later, a wall of champagne place cards led them to their seats. We did a champagne tower during the reception and have since learned that one bottle does not cut it! Always pre-pour those bottom tiers, friends.

Our delicious cake was from Sweet Girlz Bakery and was half cookies & cream and half reverse Oreo.

Several Style girls made an appearance, and we even convinced Style photographer Alison Conklin to hand off her camera to husband and photographer Geoff and hop in a pic. One of the best in the biz, we felt so incredibly lucky to have Alison, such a dear friend, capture our day.

They don’t call it The View at Morgan Hill for nothing! The venue provided so many photo-ops throughout the day...

... And one perk of getting married on a golf course is the opportunity to plan a golf cart exit!
