Say “Hey!” to #SavvyBride, Tara L.! This Savvy Bride and her fiancé, Derek, tied the knot at St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church and celebrated their reception at The Rose Garden Banquet Hall in Hays, KS!

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

The Proposal

Derek and I went out to eat and then we came back to my house where he walked me down a path of rose petals into the backyard. Along with the rose petals, there were hanging lights and our song playing in the background. My sister and brother-in-law was hiding in the bushes to capture the whole thing on camera. After I said yes, we went inside and both of our families were there with cake and champagne. It was the most perfect day!” – #SavvyBride Tara L.

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

Here’s what #SavvyBride Tara L. had to say about her wedding dress shopping experience at Savvy Bridal,

I wanted a dress that was elegant, long sleeved, open backed, and timeless. I came into Savvy knowing exactly what I wanted and even though all the dresses were beautiful, Kirsten helped me find my perfect dress and she was so fun and kind as well. The best experience EVER!” – #SavvyBride Tara L.

The Special Day

My most special memory from the wedding day is walking down the aisle with both my mom and my dad and seeing Derek at the end of the aisle in tears. I could not take my eyes off of him and it felt like we were the only people in the church. When I got to the end of the aisle, he told me how beautiful I was and how he could not believe I was about to be his wife.

We loved having all of our family and friends there to celebrate our special day with us. As much as we loved our wedding day and how perfect it was for us, we love just being married and creating this new life together.” – #SavvyBride Tara L.
