Tamar and Emmett’s story began thanks to a mutual friend, and the power of social media. Tamar first noticed Emmett in a photo and thought he was super cute. Their friend, playing cupid, encouraged them to follow each other on Instagram, and the rest is history!
Tamar’s love for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast played a big role in selecting Belgard as their wedding venue. “Every time I go to Belgard, I get that classic romantic, lots of candles, rustic vibe,” Tamar shared. The venue also holds sentimental value for her family, as her sister’s wedding dinner was hosted there in 2018. Combining nostalgia with its enchanting ambiance, Belgard was the ideal setting for their celebration.
Reflecting on their wedding, Tamar couldn’t pick just one favorite moment. “I had the best day. I keep saying I want to get married again because my day was honestly seamless from start to finish,” she said. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, every moment felt special. A standout memory for Tamar was putting on her wedding dress for the first time—an experience she describes as magical.
Tamar’s dress journey was one of clarity and ease. She began by creating a Pinterest board two years before her wedding, focusing on designs and styles she loved. “I always knew I wanted long sleeves,” Tamar explained, noting how her vision stayed consistent over time.
Her advice for other brides? “Make a Pinterest Board of designs and styles that you like. Take aspects of each dress and have an honest conversation with yourself about what will make you feel most comfortable.” For Tamar, this preparation made finding her gown a breeze. After trying on just three dresses, she knew she’d found “the one.”
Tamar wore our Adrienne gown by Pronovias, a stunning choice that flawlessly matched her vision. With its long sleeves, timeless elegance, and a dress that she felt comfortable in, it truly was her dream dress. The gown's mermaid silhouette flows gracefully in soft crepe, while the plunging neckline and keyhole back add a distinctive touch of sophistication.
One thing that surprised Tamar about the bridal gown journey was the sheer variety of options available. “There are so many talented designers and so much range with wedding dresses,” she shared. This abundance of choices can feel overwhelming, which is why Tamar emphasizes having a clear vision to guide the process.
