#Savvy Bride: Kaitlin and Kaleb
At Savvy Bridal, we believe every bride’s love story deserves to be celebrated—and Kaitlin and Kaleb’s journey is one that reminds us why we do what we do. After 10 years of building a life together, they tied the knot in a day filled with romance, intention, and timeless joy. From a heartfelt proposal to finding the perfect gown at Savvy Bridal, Kaitlin’s experience reflects the magic that happens when love and style align.
In this feature, we’ll walk through Kaitlin and Kaleb’s story—the proposal that set everything in motion, the details that made their wedding so unique, and of course, the moment Kaitlin found her dream dress at Savvy Bridal.
The Proposal: A Decade in the Making
Some love stories begin with instant sparks, while others are built patiently over time. For Kaitlin and Kaleb, their journey began in high school. From two proms, college graduations, long-distance years, and even buying a home together, their bond grew stronger with every milestone.
On Thanksgiving Day, Kaleb decided it was finally time to take the next step. While they were running late for lunch at his parents’ house, he called Kaitlin into the living room. Waiting with a little blue box in hand, Kaleb told her he wanted to spend every holiday after that day together. He got down on one knee and asked Kaitlin to marry him.
Her response? “It took him long enough!” she laughed, but with tears of joy and a glow that lasted all day, she said yes to forever.
A Wedding Day Worth the Wait
Choosing to marry on their 10th anniversary, Kaitlin and Kaleb created a wedding that wasn’t just a celebration—it was a reflection of their journey and everything they’d built together.
One of Kaitlin’s most treasured moments came at the very end of the night. After their guests lined up for a magical confetti send-off, Kaitlin and Kaleb stayed behind for a private last dance. The song was a heartfelt cover of Led Zeppelin’s Thank You by Chris Cornell, and as they swayed together, it felt like the perfect way to begin the rest of forever.
“It was just the two of us, holding each other, basking in the glow of being newly wed,” Kaitlin shared. “That’s a memory I’ll keep for the rest of my life.”
Finding The Dress at Savvy Bridal
For Kaitlin, wedding dress shopping was an emotional journey. After visiting several bridal shops in one exhausting day, she ended up at Savvy Bridal feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. But everything shifted when she met her stylist, Bryghtyn.
“Bryghtyn was an angel,” Kaitlin said. “She made me feel relaxed, comfortable, and excited to keep going.”
At first, Kaitlin thought she had found her gown. She celebrated the “yes to the dress” moment with photos and happy tears. But then—something caught her eye. A gown on the rack shimmered in the corner, and she knew she had to try it on.
The moment she slipped into it, Kaitlin knew. This was the one. Everything the other dresses were missing, this gown had. With laughter, more tears, and support from her closest loved ones, Kaitlin officially said yes to her Savvy Bridal wedding dress.
“I never thought I’d find a dress that made me feel this incredible. But Savvy made it possible.”
The Wedding Theme: A Personalized Love Story
Every detail of Kaitlin and Kaleb’s wedding reflected their decade-long love story. Their colors—Kaleb’s favorite orange and Kaitlin’s favorite olive green—were woven into an Old Hollywood and Art Deco-inspired theme.
The couple added thoughtful, personal touches:
- Fox details hidden throughout the décor as a nod to their new last name
- A private first look with vows under the St. Louis Arch, honoring the city where their love began
- Vintage multicolored goblets they collected for months, placed at each table for guests to take home
- Clever design details and curated pieces that made the day feel completely theirs
“It was so intentional,” Kaitlin explained. “Every detail told a piece of our story. It was romantic, joyful, and truly unforgettable.”
Vendors That Made It Magical
Kaitlin and Kaleb were surrounded by incredible vendors who brought their vision to life:
- Venue: 612 North
- Photographer: Vein + Vessel
- Florals: Alaina from Flora MiLou
- Hair & Makeup: Joy and the Artist Edit
Each partner added a touch of magic, but Kaitlin credits Savvy Bridal with giving her one of the most important pieces of her wedding day—her dream gown.
