We're over the moon to announce that Kathryn Dinsmore Marcum is our Bustle bride of the week! Kathryn and her husband, Austin, began their happily ever after at a gorgeous covered outdoor venue at 4-H Center in Columbiana, AL on August 6, 2017.

Austin and Kathryn have known each other for years! They met at Shades Mountain Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL in the second grade! "He is the most fun person to be around and we quickly became friends in middle school. Our friendship continued to grow and we started dating our sophomore year of high school! We dated long distance through college, as he went to the University of Alabama and I went to Auburn. Shortly after graduation, this past August, we got married! It was the best day celebrating with family and friends!"

Kathryn was an absolute dream in her Ivy & Aster Organza scoop neck gown! She also made the gown a one-of-a-kind by adding lace to make beautiful sleeves to add a little something extra and tie in the lace at the hem of the gown. She also chose a plain edge ivory veil to complete her bridal look!

“Looking back on our wedding day, one of our favorite parts was celebrating with the people we love dearly! We are so unbelievably grateful for the people who have prayed for us, supported us, and encouraged us to look more like Jesus throughout our relationship and as we became a family on our wedding day! It was the sweetest blessing and joy to be surrounded by family, friends, and a bridal party who we have known for years to celebrate with on that hot August day!”

The beautiful Jessica Lewis Whitfield is our newest Bustle Bride! She and her hubby, Daniel exchanged their vows on a gorgeous March day in Avondale, Alabama. They had such a special ceremony with Jessica's precious daughter as the flower girl. During the ceremony, Daniel made his vows to Jessica, then he made a vow to her daughter and gifted her with a necklace. It was an intimate and heartfelt moment for the family.

Jessica looked nothing short of amazing when she and her daughter began their happily ever after with Daniel. Her wedding gown by Watters looked like it was made for her; it was a match made in bridal heaven. The lace detail is incredible! We had such a great time helping this sweet bride find the gown of her dreams.

“My absolute favorite part of the day was our ceremony. Everything about it was perfect. From his vows, which he started with “Dear Darla” from the little rascals, one of our favorite movies and something we joked about for months. And especially the very end right before the pastor said “you may now kiss your bride” my daughter, who he is raising as his own, ran up and hugged him. So we were all together as a family for our first kiss. It was so special!”
