REAL BRIDE: Paxton
Paxton + Cullen
10.17.25
Some love stories just stay with you, and Paxton and Cullen’s is one of them.
They said “I do” in October surrounded by the people who love them most, and every single detail of their day felt intentional, romantic, and completely them. From the bold, breathtaking florals to the way they looked at each other during their first look, their wedding was the perfect blend of statement-making beauty and heartfelt emotion.
What stood out most wasn’t just how stunning everything looked, but how deeply loved they are. The joy from their friends and family was undeniable, and the way Paxton and Cullen showed up for each other made the entire day feel warm, meaningful, and unforgettable. Truly a special couple and a truly special celebration.
In honor of Valentine’s Day week, we couldn’t imagine a more fitting love story to share. Keep reading for all the beautiful details from Paxton and Cullen’s unforgettable day.
What made you decide to get married on this particular date?
“No particular reason, we wanted Fall and it was available!”
How did the two of you meet?
“Hinge, the app you delete ;) worked for us!”
What was one of your favorite moments from your wedding day?
“Hands down our private last dance. But also the first looks. These moments are just so intimate and so raw they can never be re-created. I do my best to live them over and over through our video and photos.”
How did the proposal happen?
“It was at our church on their rooftop overlooking the city. Our faith is a huge part of our story and who we are so it was perfect in every way. He tricked me to "stopping by there" on our way to dinner one night and had a gorgeous floral setup on the rooftop. Then after he popped the question I heard cheering down below, we looked over into the courtyard and all our family was down there cheering!”
Did you have a specific theme in mind while planning (if any - colors, features, etc.)?
“Hot pink and bright red were my design from the beginning especially with the black and white venue and we asked our guests to wear all black. I told everyone the brightest things I wanted to pop in the venue were my florals and my hair.”
Where did you draw your inspiration/ideas from?
“Honestly I just dreamed it up, if you know me at all you know I love the color pink and a bold red lip with my red hair so I had envisioned it from the beginning. It was difficult at times because my vision wasn't something you could just find on Pinterest so it was well thought out and planned for in design.”
What advice would you give to other brides in regards to dress shopping?
“At the end of the day you make your own choice. No matter who you take with you, who's opinions you value, it's YOUR day and your dress so choose what makes YOU feel beautiful, the most like you, and don't second guess it.”
How did you know your gown was "the one"?
“I knew the second I put her on. I wanted something classy and movable since I know I would be dancing the night away. Also if you know me you know I don't like to have something everyone else has so adding the organza bow to my dress felt like the perfect staple. It was everything I imagined and more. I felt beautiful and confident in my own body and own skin and truly bridal.”
Congratulations to the Bryants!
