Graafschap Christian Reformed Church Ceremony

With only six months to plan their wedding, Nicole spent the time working on the decor and the reception rather than combing through bridal salons. And working at BHLDN, she knew there were plenty of stunning gowns right under her nose. “One evening a few months before the wedding, a bunch of my coworkers stayed at the office with me and we went to town trying on gowns,” Nicole says. The Cadence Gown caught her eye, a striking form-fitting, sequined number that was elegant and fun. “I loved that it was a bit unexpected,” Nicole says. To balance out the gown’s glam factor, she accessorized with a long classic veil and understated drop earrings.
