ÉLYSÉE Real Bride: Christina & Sean

A Fairytale Wedding at Florentine Gardens, New Jersey

The Dress:

"From the moment I put Georgiana on, I knew she was the one! Immediately, I fell in love with the basque waist and structured bodice. I was looking for a dress that felt timeless, elegant, and traditional, and Georgiana checked every box. Most importantly, the second I put it on, I felt like a Bride!!! When I put the dress on at the dress shop, each and every fitting, everyone took notice of Georgiana and loved the dress! Georgiana was a head turner and gave the 'wow' factor I was going for, and I received countless compliments from all of our guests on our special day!"

The Love Story:

"Sean and I met on the first day of college, as he moved me in to my dorm room. He put my trunk down at my feet and introduced himself; I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Later that evening at a freshman seminar, he strategically sat in front of me to get my phone number, and we learned that we lived one town over from each other our whole lives... and the rest is history!

Sean and I have pretty much been together ever since! We dated all through college and after college, spending 10 years together before he popped the question! We're so excited to continue our happily ever after as husband and wife."

Most Memorable: 

"It is so hard to pick just one favorite memory from our wedding day, the entire day was just so perfect! If I had to pick my favorite memory of the day, it would be dancing the night away surrounded by all of our friends and family!"

Advice to other brides?

"I know everyone says it... but enjoy every second of it. Not just the wedding day, but the entire engagement and planning process. It is so easy to get caught up in the stress of all of the planning and everything that needs to get done, but at the end of the day, it all comes together and turns out exactly as it should. It is one of the most exciting and fun times, and it goes by in a flash!

Sean and I made a deal that we wouldn't leave each other's sides after our first look, and we are so glad we stuck to it. It allowed us to share every moment and memory of our day together."
