The Crystal Bride cherishes moments when we get to celebrate our brides after their wedding day. Receiving updates about the couples’ magical days, wedded bliss, and the amazing wedding pictures is so special.

On October 17, 2020, real Crystal Bride Marin said her wedding vows to the love of her life during a ceremony that was both heartfelt and romantic at the Royal Fox Country Club in Saint Charles, Illinois.

Marin’s bridal gown is a Mikealla dress that boasts minimalism and elegance with a bateau neckline, low back, and luxurious crepe fabric. The silver belt adds a touch of glamour to this bridal gown, as well.

This dress is truly timeless and compliments the bride perfectly. Posing with delicate flowers in her hair, this bridal portrait shows off the gown’s low back and elegant train.

The Aurora/Naperville-based photographer, Azalea Films and Photography, captures the contrast between Marin and the environment perfectly. The colorful backdrop in both the venue and florals is the perfectly photographed to frame the beautiful bride in her luxurious gown.

The couple selected Shamrock Garden Florist for their florals. The timeless incorporation of flowers is quintessentially bridal and exceedingly elegant.

The whimsical color palette of blues, yellows, and greens is such a refreshing and lighthearted approach to florals that keeps the wedding scenery bright and airy while still having pops of drama.

The Crystal Bride wishes the newlywed couple many years of love, laughter, and happily ever after.

Cheers, Marin!
