After meeting at Disneyland during their senior year of high school, Megan & Tyler’s love story unfolded like a fairytale.
Our SULTANA gown allowed Megan to have two completely different looks on her wedding day. Of her SULTANA gown, Megan said: ” I didn’t have a specific style of wedding dress that I really wanted when I️ went dress shopping which I thought would make it difficult to choose a dress, but as soon as I️ tried the SULTANA gown on, I️ knew it was perfect. SULTANA is the best of both worlds with the floaty floral overlay with a fitted dress underneath. The floral was so romantic and perfect for our cozy backyard ceremony, then for the grand entrance to our reception I️ removed the overlay and it was like I️ had a whole other dress on! Also, the slit in the front was perfect for showing off my shoes so I was happy about that.”

Tell Us Your Love Story
How did you meet?
Tyler and I️ met at Disneyland during our senior year of high school. We were introduced by a mutual friend who totally set us up without either of us knowing! The whole day, she kept pushing us onto rides together, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.
How did he put a ring on it?
We went on a trip with our closest friends to Big Bear Lake in Southern California, and Tyler got down on one knee in front of the lake which was so picturesque. He still refuses to believe that I️ knew the proposal was coming but I can definitely say that I had my nails and hair ready to go!
Where did you draw inspiration from?
I feel like my wedding style was completely different pre-COVID, so a lot of the things I had planned weren’t really suited to my style when we were finally able to have the wedding. Our family yard has a barn so I was inspired by a farmhouse style but I adapted a lot of our decor to create a more modern feel. It ended up being a really great combination of rustic with modern elements!
What made the wedding personal to you?
Our wedding was at my uncle’s house where he had lived for over 30 years, so it felt like getting married at home. It was already a completely gorgeous space but my uncle truly went the extra mile to make the landscaping perfect for our big day. What made the day even more special was that we got married on our 9 year anniversary!
What were you most nervous or excited about?
I was only nervous about forgetting something on the day! As we had a backyard wedding, I really had to handle the decor and small details by myself. It was so much work compared to being at a wedding venue but so worth it!
Now, the most important part – the Dress!
Tell us about your dress?
I didn’t have a specific style of wedding dress that I really wanted when I️ went dress shopping which I thought would make it difficult to choose a dress, but as soon as I️ tried the SULTANA gown on, I️ knew it was perfect. SULTANA is the best of both worlds with the floaty floral overlay with a fitted dress underneath. The floral was so romantic and perfect for our cozy backyard ceremony, then for the grand entrance to our reception I️ removed the overlay and it was like I️ had a whole other dress on! Also, the slit in the front was perfect for showing off my shoes so I was happy about that.

What was your most memorable moment from your day?
The whole day was honestly such a dream, and it couldn’t have gone any better! I think one of my favorite moments was the giant group photo out photographer took for us. We really had to scale down our wedding due to COVID and it was just so special to have only our closest friends and family there, and even more special we got a photo with all our guests.
