Even though they were high school sweethearts, Cassie and Cole actually met when they were in just grade school. After dating for several years, Cole decided to propose to Cassie on a beach during a vacation to Naples. As Cassie puts it, "It was a complete and total surprise!"
When it was time to go dress shopping, Cassie already knew what she wanted. "I always knew I wanted a fitted dress that was very simple. I still tried on many styles to know that is exactly what I wanted!" Cassie shares. In the end, Cassie got an elegant fit-and-flare gown that was made of simple chiffon fabric with thin straps and a beautiful backless detail. We thinks she looks simply stunning!
Just like her wedding dress, Cassie and Cole decided on a simple yet elegant wedding theme. "The wedding theme I went for was elegant, plain and simple," Cassie explains. "The color palette was black and white, making that very simple." We love the classic and timeless look the black and white color scheme brings to their gorgeous outdoor ceremony!
Guided by "Wedding Do's and Don't's" on Instagram reels, Cassie planned the wedding herself. When choosing vendors, Cassie trusted in the reviews left by previous clients, and they did not lead her astray. One of those choices was their photographer, Danielle Schury Photography, who perfectly captured all the beautiful golden-hour details of their big day!
What We Love
A particular special touch stood out more than the rest to Cassie. "One special touch for me was having a Polaroid guest book that people actually used. It was fun to read the sweet messages people left along with the silly photos guests took," Cassie gushes. However, the most important detail of the day was marrying the person she loved in front of those who loved them most!
Advice from the Couple
Cassie and Cole advise, "Don’t listen or feel obligated by outsiders' opinions or the latest trends, do what you feel is best for you!"
