Alexandra + Justin’s Wedding

Where did you draw inspiration from?

We knew we wanted to elope… especially with the uncertainty around events that the pandemic has caused. Going to Cappadocia has been on top of my bucket list for a while. Hundreds of hot air balloons go up every morning, and when I spotted a photo on Instagram one day of a bride and groom in front of this epic scene, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do.

What made the wedding personal to you?

What were you most nervous or excited about?

Now, the most important part – the Dress!

Tell us about your dress? 

I was obsessed with WREN. I wanted a dramatic, but simple dress, and when I tried on WREN, I knew she was for me! Having the taupe bodice made it unique and different, not your typical all white wedding dress, and I can’t tell you how comfortable it was. The dress held me in so perfectly, I felt like I could move so freely, and no matter how I stood it looked good – which was a big selling point. Also… that train!!!

What stockist did you get it from?

Sash + Bustle, ON. I was the last appointment at Sash and Bustle before Ontario went into an insanely long lockdown due to COVID. I really felt like the dress was meant to be mine for that very reason… I lucked out so much!

What was your most memorable moment from your day?

Honestly, it was all incredibly memorable. We went around with our photographer to shoot at a few different locations and at each spot we would meet locals, have drinks and celebrate with them – it was such a fun experience!
