Brieanna and Alexey’s love story began at a house party in Chicago, where a mutual friend introduced them. From that night on, their connection grew as they shared a love for cooking, music, and spending quiet evenings together. Their engagement was a fun reflection of their playful personalities — Alexey proposed during a Liverpool vs. Manchester United game, promising to pop the question if Liverpool won. When Brie’s team pulled off a stunning 7-0 victory, Alexey kept his word, proposing right on the couch. As homebodies who cherish each other’s company, it was the perfect moment for them.
The morning of the wedding day was calm and relaxed as the girls were getting glam eagerly awaiting the big I do. Our team delivered Brieanna’s bridal bouquet and it was immediately a hit! The design was a vibrant reflection of the tropical setting, featuring rich, bold colors that perfectly complemented her moody bohemian style. The bouquet was a lush mix of tropical greens, yellow and orange florals, with touches of red and minimal pops of pink. The standout detail was the playful inclusion of mini pineapples nestled among the blooms, adding a whimsical touch to the unique arrangement. The flowers brought an island-inspired energy to the day, contrasting beautifully with the natural and moody color palette of the wedding, which included dark greens, earthy tones, and black accents for a modern twist.
Their dream I do took place at Pangas Beach Club in Costa Rica, blending the natural beauty of the tropical setting with a rich, moody design. The vows were exchanged under a beautifully decorated wood arch, adorned with tropical foliage and flowers that mimiced the sunset. A boho rug laid underfoot as they shared lifelong promises with one another.
