A year of bridal bliss
The Stage is Set
Meet Chrissy Again.
Last time we saw Chrissy I was chasing her around to get her engagement photos.
Those were a big hit, and now—nine months out from her wedding—she’s officially in her bridal era. As Chrissy began planning the year ahead as a fiancée, she found herself facing some exciting (and meaningful) decisions. From choosing the dress she’ll wear when she says “I do” to deciding who will stand beside her on that special day, every choice mattered. That’s when she realized she had an interesting dilemma: she’s surrounded by so many incredible women that her bridal party was becoming too large. So instead, she decided to make time for all of them—bringing everyone together for a special dinner and photoshoot at Park Lane, an elite event venue in Cleveland.
Chrissy wanted to capture photos of herself and her groom-to-be at a time that felt calm and unrushed—separate from the excitement and bustle of the wedding day. And since she hasn’t found the dress just yet, she decided: why choose only one? Instead, she embraced the idea to wear multiple looks, including a custom design created by a talented local designer.
She asked all of those wonderful women to dress in rich jewel tones and come glammed up for the occasion. Her sister-in-law—owner of Faux Stems & Co., a luxury floral design company—created an amazing table arrangement that looked just as great in person as it did on camera. With the classic architecture, the incredible ladies, and the elegant décor, every element came together to make a beautiful set of photos.
