Say “Hello” to #SavvyBride, Maria! This Savvy Bride and her fiancé Nathan were married at Sand Springs Venue in Abilene, KS on October 2, 2020! The Sand Springs area holds many memories for many people as it was once a former family farm! Now turned Wedding and Event Venue, Sand Springs is the perfect rustic + elegant venue for those looking for something more tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life!

Here’s this #SavvyBride’s love story, in her own words!

The Proposal

“Nathan proposed to me with our Labradoodle, Fenton. He tied a sign to our dog’s collar that he made out of a card I gave him from our very first Valentine’s Day we spent together!– #SavvyBride Maria L. 

 

You’ve got the ring. Next stop, Savvy.

Many brides-to-be are unsure of what types of dress styles are available before they go dress shopping, which can make it difficult to tell your bridal consultant what style you like when it’s time to try on!

Here’s what #SavvyBride Maria had to say about her wedding dress shopping experience at Savvy Bridal, “I wanted a “rustic elegance” look. It was very important for me to have a photographer who worked with film and used a lot of natural light. I wanted a very clean and natural feel…

I loved dressing shopping at Savvy. . . The shop was timeless but trendy. I loved how classic the dresses were and the wide selection to choose from. I knew exactly what I wanted and it was such a thrill to find my dream dress come to life at Savvy! I loved it so much that I also bought my veil at Savvy as well – it completed my look and was stunning in pictures!” – #SavvyBride Maria L. 

 

That First Look

The Special Day

“I was all about the details with my wedding. I had a very specific vision of neutrals – I wanted everything to be “timeless” and not so much on trends. I tried to stay more traditional- with roses and eucalypts as our flowers, a lot of taupes and soft blushes, lots of greenery, lanterns as our centerpieces, a soft black suit for my groomsmen and simple make up on my bridesmaids.”

“My favorite memory from my wedding day was getting married to my best friend. I also loved our first look and getting to see my vision for the day come to life. It was the most dreamy wedding.” – #SavvyBride Maria L.
