REAL BRIDE: Ashley

Michael + Ashley Taylor

4.6.19

Sharing a fun one with you all today! Michael + Ashley are quite possibly the best planners in the history of ever - having a five month long engagement + pulling together a simple + stunning wedding. We are gushing over every detail of this wedding, from the donut wall to Ashley’s Lis Simon gown + all of it’s stunning lace, no detail fell short. Hands down, the best part though? Seeing pure happiness on the faces of these two cuties. It is clear they are meant to be + we are just glad we got to play a tiny role in their big day.

What made you decide to get married on April 6th?

“We decided April was the month we’d get married because it is not too cold + not too hot. Mike's birthday is February 6th + my birthday is October 6th. Therefore, the 6th seemed like the perfect date + our photographer + venue were surprisingly free so we went with it!”
