the invitations
A mix of deep red, black, and white, guests received this unique and comprehensive wedding suite.

getting ready
Ali and Colleen relaxed in their respective bridal suites with their besties as they prepped for the day ahead. From their signature fragrance to their shoes, they put the finishing touches on their looks before seeing each other for the first time.
the first look
As soon as they saw each other, they couldn’t stop smiling. Everywhere they looked, each ensemble revealed more hidden details—from custom embroidery to a manicure with their wedding date.
the fashion
Two brides = twice the fun when it comes to fashion, so to make sure they did it right, their planner brought in two professional stylists from Agency Eight Bridal Styling and Francesca Dispirito Styling—and they delivered! Each bride had multiple looks with hidden personalized touches that not only made them feel like the best versions of themselves, but each ensemble added to the entire vibe of the event. Even the guests brought the style, with some in fabulous fur coats and even some opera gloves! The fashion stylists had a quote that Ali and Colleen say to each other sewn into their dresses to be shown to each other as a surprise during their first look—”Same Wave.”
