Krissy Kramer and new husband Kyle hosted gorgeous nuptials that are the epitome of Essense of Australia: natural, stunning and unforgettable! You can feel the love between these two and you’ll swoon over the details of their big day, read on!
Krissy and Kyle just knew it was meant to be. Their love story began with the most endearing, adventurous proposal.
The Proposal
It all started on Krissy’s birthday weekend. “We were on a road trip to Louisville, Kentucky to hit the Bourbon Trail for what I thought was a birthday trip,” she said. “Right before we left for our hotel for breakfast, we stopped to hit a few spots on the BourbonTraill. Kyle got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife!”
The Dress
Finding the gown was just as surprising as the proposal! “I wanted my look to be unique and totally me,” Krissy said. “I loved A-line and romantic looks, as well as an open back, so those were the key features I was really looking for.” Krissy, her mom and sister went to a few different bridal shops. She thought she had found the one and was about to cancel her last dress shop visit, but something held her back. “Thank god I didn’t! As soon as I tried on my Essense of Australia dress, before I even stepped out to show my mom and sister, I told my stylist ‘I don’t care what they say, this is my dress!’ It was so beautiful and so me, I couldn’t believe how perfect it was!”
Krissy’s Pick: D2126
Style D2126 checked all of Krissy’s bridal boxes! This ballgown from Essense of Australia is a bold twist on a timeless look, featuring a beaded lace bodice secured with illusion straps. The full tulle skirt swings gracefully into a beautiful court train. The back zips up with ease under sparkling crystal buttons. This bride’s smile says it all: she found the perfect gown!
The Wedding
Krissy’s dress fit perfectly with the overall aesthetic of the Kramer’s big day. “Our colors were rose, champagne, white and forest green. I wanted a garden/forest theme, and I let the nature in my venue and pictures provide the forest green,” she said. “My husband and I both grew up enjoying nature and hiking in Pennsylvania, so it was really important to use to incorporate an outdoor feel into our day.
