Real Bride: Ashley & Eli Gregoriou

Our bride, Ashley, married her perfect match, Eli, on May 28, 2026. They said ‘I Do’ in the sunshine of Punta Cana, Mexico at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Ashley is wearing Essense of Australia style D3636. This romantic A-line wedding dress draped in soft layers of delicate chiffon was a perfect choice for the beach of Punta Cana! Ashley, you look absolutely beautiful!

The Gregoriou’s Love Story

Ashley and Eli have known each other practically their whole lives. They grew up in the same town but went to different schools. He played baseball with her brother in the summer. He was the boy Ashley crushed over, and now he’s her forever. How sweet!

How did you know the dress was the one?

As soon as I put it on, it just felt like me.

Marissa’s Crystal Bride Experience…

It was truly amazing! Katy pulled everything I mentioned on my intro call but threw something completely opposite in that I would have never pulled & wouldn’t you know it – that was my dress!!

What was your favorite wedding day moment?

Celebrating our love with all of our family & friends in the most beautiful setting!
