How would you describe your wedding?
It was just the two of us and our photographer, so it was super chilled with no pressure at all! It was a really fun, non-traditional day and a great experience.
What inspired your choice of wedding location, venue and overall vibe for your day?
We chose Vegas because we wanted something completely non-traditional. I didn't love the idea of walking down the aisle in front of everyone so eloping was perfect for us! We got married at Little White Chapel in the pink Cadillac with an Elvis ceremony and then had photos taken at In-N-Out Burger (for our first time trying it!), Neon Museum, and the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign.
Looking back, what are the main moments from your wedding day that you'll remember forever?
Elvis singing to us during the ceremony was hilarious and really helped us to relax! We also got to take photos in both galleries at the Neon Museum which doesn't normally happen, so we got to have some of the older, more iconic neon signs in the photos which was amazing. Also getting to try In-n-Out burger for the first time in our wedding outfits just summed up how relaxed and perfect for us the day was!Were there any planning decisions or personal touches that made your day feel especially meaningful or unique to you as a couple?
One of the most meaningful details was incorporating our dog into the day. We had an embroidered patch of him (Meatball) added to the suit jacket, which made it feel like he was there with us in a small way. We also included a heart embroidery with our names, which added a really personal touch to the outfit.
What advice would you give to couples planning a wedding with a similar style or vision to yours?
Plan ahead especially if there are specific photo locations you really want, as timing and lighting make a huge difference. But the biggest piece of advice? Just elope! It’s not worth the stress of planning a huge day if that’s not what you truly want. Doing it our way meant we could actually enjoy every moment.
What elements or details did you want to incorporate into your jacket design and why were they meaningful to you?
The design included traditional tattoo-style embroidered patches, which fit perfectly with the overall vibe. We added a patch of our dog, which was really important to us, as well as a heart patch with our names. It was a mix of personal and aesthetic details, so it looked amazing but also meant something.
How did you find the process of designing and creating your personalised jacket?
We worked with Beth to design the suit, and the whole process felt really collaborative from the start. I shared a few inspiration images from Pinterest, mainly focused on western-style suits and traditional tattoo artwork, and she translated those ideas into something completely bespoke for us. What I loved most was that she hand-drew all of the elements before they were embroidered. It made the whole piece feel one-of-a-kind, rather than just choosing something pre-made. We were able to tweak little details along the way, like placement and sizing, so everything felt personal. When we saw the finished jacket, it genuinely exceeded our expectations! The quality, the detail, and how everything came together just worked perfectly. He got compliments on it all day!
