The Greatest Adventure of ✨ LOVE✨
at a Winery in Lake Erie
About Morgan's experience at Luv Bridal in Denver, CO
"Working with my stylist at the Denver location was everything I could have hoped for this experience. She was the BEST hype-woman and as I came alone a few times I loved asking her opinions and bouncing my ideas off of her. She was so kind to my mother and I and made the afternoon so much fun for us to have together. My dress is fabulous, but there were other fabulous dresses elsewhere too. It was the service, professionalism, and encouragement at Luv, especially from my stylist, that sold me on ordering my gown from here! Everyone in this shop is empowering and enthusiastic about their career, which is all you can hope for in a shop that sells attire for one of the most major milestones in your life!"

About Morgan & Tom's Luv Story
"Tom & I met in Cincinnati, Ohio and we immediately fell in love with each other’s adventurous spirit! Our first date lasted 10 hours, and within 5 months we had made the decision to pack up our lives, move to Colorado, and take a chance on love, the mountains, and each other. Little did we know it would be our greatest adventure. Tom proposed on his grandparents 70th wedding anniversary at an overlook at Garden of the Gods and I ugly cried while he was down on one knee. I was so so excited someone who I care so much about wanted to spend the rest of their days adventuring with me like we love to do. It is the greatest honor a partner can ever have.
We got married at a winery in my hometown in the Lake Erie Islands Area. A popular tourist destination in the summer it was the perfect vibe for our Labor Day weekend wedding. Our theme was simple elegance with our bridal party and family wearing all black making for stunning photos by our extremely talented photographer Eden. We left personalized place cards for each of our guests at their seats, had a cocktail crossword with facts about us, a phone from After the Tone to cherish the messages from our loved ones down the road, and CRUMBL COOKIES!!!!. Film photos were an amazing touch as they brought a really authentic feel to our day! Everything was DIY and so intentional and thought through and we couldn’t be prouder of the ways we chose to honor our guests as they celebrated us."

Morgan wore JONA by Madi Lane Bridal
Jona may be simple but she is far from boring. Pure in heart she is soulful through her clean luxurious European crepe fabric and lined in our signature stretch jersey.

Morgan's Advice for Future Luv Brides
"Don’t get caught up “keeping up” with the things you see online! Social media makes planning so hard sometimes but remembering it is about you and your favorite human vowing to spend the rest of your days together is really what matters. Only you will know it’s not perfect, your guests are just there to see you smiling!"
