Ethan and Etydria in AETHRA

"I love the place and the people. They always made me feel loved, and cared for. They put my needs first. Truly felt special. I want to give a special shout out to Xochitl Seraile Lara!!! She knew exactly what I wanted and found the perfect dress. She had lots of patience and incredible feedback. Lovely human. Trust her completely."

"We met in Seattle WA. I was studying at UW and he was working in tech. After 4 years, a pandemic, our first house, and fur baby, he proposed in NYC. Our wedding took place in my hometown. We choose emerald green and terracota as our colors. Our friends and family traveled from Seattle. Maryland, San Diego, and Florida to be with us and share our happy moment.

My ring is an emerald, I have never really liked white as a color. It was also an issue for my dress, I really didn't want white. I love color, the brightness and the happiness that they make me feel. So we picked green to remind us of the vibrant life we have in Washington. Decor had to be lively too, and terracotta would match giving it a warm feel. The wedding was elegant yet fun and warm. We had a church ceremony and then moved to the venue. Guests were treated to Mariachi and typical Mexican food. Once inside we had a three course meal. Donuts and bunuelos (mexican pastry) were given as dessert. There was a live band, more food and photobooth for our guests to enjoy."

"Trust your gut. If the dress is not what you imagined, keep looking. You want to feel like you are the most gorgeous person in the world that day."
