Angela and Chris Holding Hands

“I went to twelve different bridal salons looking for a dress,” says Angela. “I found an Allure gown that I fell in love with at Blossoms in Dublin. I love the drama of a ball gown but I didn’t want any gathering at the waist. It took forever to find a dress that had both. I added a cathedral length veil and waist length blusher. I chose to wear my hair half up, half down. It was important for me to have some kind of braid because I grew up wearing French braided pigtails every day to school and I love how little braids look.”
