And to put the finishing touches on our day of sneak peeks, I’ve chosen this ridiculously lovely Sarasota wedding that photographer Jessica Lorren sent our way. I think that this bride just might be the most beautiful I’ve ever seen and her custom made dress. Well. Hello gorgeous. And ok, I’ll admit, it was a little bonus to know that the bride had her fingers crossed that this would end up on SMP, making me even MORE excited to share it with you. Remember, to see the wedding in it’s entirety, click right here.



From Jessica, the photographer behind these beautiful images…
When Sarah first emailed me about her wedding, I took one look at her custom made wedding website and knew we were meant to be. When we met she shared with me how she and JB fell in love and how they planned to move to Europe after the wedding for JB’s baseball career.
When the big day came, Sarah’s attention to detail magically blended timeless nostalgia and delicate flowers with touches of America’s favorite past-time to create a day as unique as the love she and JB share.
In honor of Sarah’s family she carried an heirloom hankie and wore her grandmother’s vintage watch. To celebrate JB’s love for baseball the little ring-bearer ushered the rings to the altar in a tattered baseball glove. And to top it off the couple pledged forever at the foot of a handcrafted wooden cross built by Sarah’s father and adorned with her favorite flowers.

The close-ups of her dress are breathtaking! Beautiful.
Love this wedding! Where is the hankie and table numbers from?
anyone know who designed that dress?? so pretty :)
Dress + veil + hair are all PERFECT!
gorgeous wedding Jess! so excited to see it on here.
Hi Tracey! The hankie was my grandmother. The table numbers we just made on my computer with print shop. I bought my invitations from http://invitationsbyajalon.com/ and used the PDF they gave me as a backdrop.
Jamie- my dress is Mori Lee 4524! it is a steal! (:
Thank you all so much!! As someone who stalked stylemepretty every single day for the past 8 months it is the greatest honor to have MY wedding on this site. xoxox
Wow! Gorgeous! Love the simplicity of all the white and little hints of blue.
I am almost 100% sure its a Mori Lee gown.
That's my wedding dress! It is awesome to see it photograph so well. Beautiful wedding and bride.
one more question...your hair flower is perfect! Is it real, or is it a silk one, and if so, who made it? Thank you!
The hair flower was a last minute idea and it is a real one. We pinned it in with a bobby pin a few minutes before the ceremony. It was a rose (i think!) Hope that helps!! xox
Beautiful Wedding! Can you share any info on your veil? I love it! I've been searching for the perfect veil, and I think that is it! Thank you!!
Wow, Sarah, you're so pretty!! Your wedding is gorgeous. I don't know if you remember me, but I worked with Heather and Shannon at Outback in Bradenton and I totally remember you coming in to visit. What a surprise to see your wedding on SMP! Congrats!
I have the same dress :) it was a steal!! I'm just so happy that it turned out beautifully for your wedding. I'll have to see what happens for mine~~ =)
Mandy- thank you so much! I got it at a bridal consignment store but she ordered it from a catalog for around $100. It's called Good As New and it's in Sarasota, FL. You could call the shops owner at (941) 366-1234. She was super nice.
Thanks Thao! I remember you!! So many thanks to you! It was a beautiful day. Hope you are doing great!
That is my dress too! It is so great to see it photographed in such a beautiful wedding. Can I ask if you got the white or ivory version? I'm hoping I made the right choice and it photographs this well :)
Joyce! it will look great! and Kayla, I got it in Ivory. (:
What a stunning bride! Jessica, the very talented photographer, mentioned once she saw the bride's custom wedding website, she knew it was meant to be. We want to see? Who did your website?
It's made by mywedding.com and is completely free!
Our wedding website is: www.mywedding.com/jbandsarah
any idea where to go an aisle like the one used for the seating chart? I LOVE IT!! :)
the wedding is amazing as well.. beauty!
SarahLynn... I actually went to Kinkos with all of the information and their graphic designer put it together. It was about 80 dollars each (we had two).
The photography is incredible. Bride beautiful!
oooh
i meant the actually stand type thing... the thing they are standing on
:)
but i love love the seating chart and will keep kinkos in mind for printing.
Sorry Sarahlynn! My mother borrowed them from her friends! I'll ask them for you.
Who made your ring? It is gorgeous.
What a lovely wedding. That dress is so dreamy!
And don't get me started on that RING!
A beautifully simple dress!
Wow! Beautiful wedding!
Karly! JB had it made by Heitel Jewelers of Bradenton. You can reach them at (941) 792-1781. Hope that helps!!
And thanks everyone!! But I have Jessica Lorren to thank for bringing everything to life and capturing it perfectly! she's sincerely the best!
What a gorgeous, girly day, I love it!
Beautiful bride and great groom! Lovely family! Amazing wedding! Magical day! All of the wedding vendors wish the wonderful couple a fantastic future together!
QUESTION - How were the lovely flowers displayed as centerpieces? Were they in vases of some sort?
So pretty! I love the blue!
milanobride- they were in short clear vases. (:
I have this dress too! I love seeing it photographed, makes me so much more excited to wear it for our wedding!
Wow! One of my favorite wedding featured on SMP! Where did you get the baseball with the heart stitching?
Tarah, it's from Hallmark believe it or not!
yay!! thanks. i love it and want one :)
so many sarah's.. lol.
thanks for checking sarah! :P
Sarah, what a beautiful wedding!! Beautiful details all over the wedding- love the dress, the cross, flowers, the invitations and paper.. it's all gorgeous! A true florida wedding!
Gorgeous wedding! I made a seating chart similar to that, but where can I find a easel like yours?
Thanks!
Okay - so not only is this wedding absolutely gorgeous, but Sarah you seem like the most gracious and kind bride ever. You have been so helpful and responsive to all the questions. Thank you for answering mine as well as all the other brides!
Thank you Kayla! I think I just know how hard it is planning your wedding and it helps to find the answers you are looking for easily. (:
And Katie from what my momma is telling me, her friend got it at an antique store.
Sarah,
Are you still selling your dress? I saw that you were selling it on another blog (was directed here). My wedding is in June, but I have absolutely fallen in love with this dress and can't find it on short notice anywhere.
Lovely couple and the dress is gorgeous!
Traditional white always does it for me, and to say that the bride is radiant is simply an understatement. The ring is a bit less traditional, and harks back to an era of yore. I like to see people diverting from the simple band with an enormous single chunk of diamond that is so prevalent in engagement ring design these days.
