Bustle Bride: Sarah-Kate Masters Roberts

Our newest Bustle Bride, Sarah-Kate Masters Roberts, has such a unique wedding story and some of the most beautiful pictures to compliment!

Sarah-Kate's husband, Robb, is of Scottish descent so they decided to tie the knot on a beautiful island in {you guessed it} Scotland. The Isle of Islay is home to around 4,000 people and because of the size of the island, there is only one baker, one florist, etc. so the whole town played a part in Roberts big day!

Sarah-Kate chose a gorgeous Jim Hjelm lace gown with delicate gold lame threading. It suited her perfectly, and she paired it with a beaded veil from Bustle that added the perfect final touch. This sweet bride was an absolute dream when she and her hubby began their happily ever after, and we're so thankful she said "yes" at Bustle! 

P.S. Her photos are unreal and we can't get enough of the picturesque location!

Our entire Islay experience was truly magical. Twenty-six of our closest family and friends made the trip with us, and we were able to spend four days together making incredible memories. It’s hard to explain the mystical beauty and timelessness of the island, other than to say that visiting Islay changes people. The wedding day was filled with an outpouring of love and joy. Our favorite part of the day had to be the very end. Our reception ended with singer Angela Patterson and her band playing “Auld Lang Syne.” We all gathered in a circle, held hands, cried, and sang as the song played slowly. Towards the end Angela took the beat up. We all joined in, finishing the song singing, yelling, clapping, and cheering. It was a moment of complete happiness, knowing that we had shared Islay and that day with the most important people in our lives.

Bustle Bride: Anna Case Decker

We're head over heels in love with our new Bustle Bride! Anna Case Decker is our newest Bustle bride feature and we couldn't be happier. Anna and her sweet hubby, Lee, tied the knot on August 20, 2016 in a beautiful church in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Anna and her mom were the sweetest clients and we really enjoyed helping Anna find the dress that best suited her style - it didn't take long, as she quickly realized dress number 3 was the one! She walked away with a fabulous, strapless Jim Hjelm gown that couldn't have been a better match. She paired her gown with a cathedral style veil and with that, the look was complete!

Here's what Anna said about her Bustle experience:

"It seems like only yesterday my mom and I were walking into Bustle on February 20th of last year (my 25th birthday!!). I remember thinking this would be the first stop of many...until I tried on my third dress, a gorgeous Jim Hjelm gown that felt like it was made just for me! I walked out of the store with the dress under my arm and the biggest smile on my face. It was the best birthday present I could've asked for!"

We're still swooning over Anna on her special day. We just can't get enough of her photos; we love that sweet photo of the "first look" with her dad. His reaction is priceless and oh so precious. She looked nothing short of perfect when she and her Lee said, "I do!"

"My absolute FAVORITE part of the wedding day was when my parents, younger sister/maid of honor, and uncle surprised us with an original rendition of "Can't Help Falling In Love" in lieu of a toast at the reception. They had been practicing for months without any of us finding out. It was so special and definitely a moment we won't be forgetting any time soon!!"
