Rachel is a real La Mariée bride who got married on September 21, 2022 in Cozumel, Mexico! We absolutely loved working with her to find her dream wedding dress for her big day (just one month before her wedding - yes, we can make miracles happen for our brides). We are so happy to share more about her and her new husband, Justin!

Read on to learn more about Rachel & Justin, what she loved most about wedding planning and her advice to future brides! And check out their gorgeous photos from Hanna Runner Photography!

How did you and your partner meet? How long have you been together?
Justin and I met through a mutual friend named Christian. Although, I am sure our paths crossed numerous times, considering he lived a town over and we went to the same college. We did not end up meeting until 2019, when Christian introduced me to Justin at the Max in Tulsa. We have been together 3.5 years now!

What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?
Finding my dream dress! And I really liked planning and organizing everything!

What was your favorite part of your wedding day?
Getting ready with my girlfriends and of course seeing my husband at the alter!

What was your experience like shopping at La Mariée Boutique?
My wedding was September 21, 2022. I went shopping and purchased a dress in November 2021. As the wedding got closer, I was seeing a lot of mutual friends wearing that same dress. And unfortunately started to fall out of love with it. In August of 2022, I saw La Mariée Boutique was opened and thought I would give it a chance! I knew with my wedding being a month away, I may not have any luck! I walked in and Heidi and Elizabeth were so helpful! They picked out dresses they had in my size or ones that they knew they could get for me! I fell in love with one of the dresses and I walked out with it that day! I was amazed!! My wedding was a month away… and they got me the veil I wanted in time to!! It was such a pleasant experience. They were not pushy at all, and were so helpful!!

If you could give one piece of advice to future brides, what would it be?
Don’t stress. If something goes wrong, the only people that will know, will be you and your fiancé/husband!
