The Bella Experience Winners — Jacob and Jordan

Dreams still exist … and the continuing saga produces a blessing. The name of that blessing is Baby “J” who arrived on January 8th, 2019. Congratulations to the deserving parents for their newest addition, Keenan Jacob Wallace. Let’s go back to where it all began and share some gorgeous pictures that were given to us by Aura Marzouk Photography.

For the last 2 years life has been a whirlwind for Jake and Jordan Wallace.  It all started Valentine’s Day of 2016 when this very deserving couple, through social media, won the wedding of their dreams at the beautiful Bella Collina Mansion.  Narrowed down to 3 couples from hundreds of applicants, Jake and Jordan were chosen by the public to win the Bella Collina Experience, an all expense paid “Fairy-tale” wedding.

Through the same social media, the next step was to choose the vendors for their wedding.  Jake and Jordan interviewed with numerous vendors for their wedding, but you, the public would be the deciding entity to what vendors formed the magic team that would complete their wedding.  We won this wonderful honor for this couple and the year long journey began.

A little less than 2 months from announcing the winning vendor teams, we surprised Jordan at her work on April 19th, 2017, one year and one day from their fairy-tale dream wedding.  (Pics below)  13 Dozen roses, with 12 of them being red roses designed in vases with the 13th designed in a bouquet style presented by Jake to his beautiful bride to be.

“We are so thankful to all the vendors and also to everyone who voted for us in the Bella Experience.  Steven Custer from Always and Forever Florist killed it with my flowers.  You out did yourself.”

A gorgeous bride and a perfect wedding experience on a gorgeous sunny afternoon at the Bella Collina Mansion in Stokesdale.

Let’s fast forward … to the planning of Jake and Jordan’s “Experience“.  The bridal bouquet is one of the most important aspects of a Bride’s day.  After meeting with Jordan and viewing her gown, it was evident.  Hollywood glamour with an elegant feel.  What better way to achieve this look with only black, white, and a deep crimson red.  In January of 2018, I designed 3 bridal bouquets all of which Jordan loved.  Once again, the public got to choose the bouquet that Jordan would carry down the Bella Collina grand staircase.  An elegant teardrop cascade of all whites and creams accented with rhinestone crystals.  Classic white and cream wins every time.

Throughout the planning of Jake and Jordan’s wedding I got to know this wonderful couple and they impacted my life tremendously. They also gave me full reign of making their wedding visions a reality. And what a vision it truly was.

We want to share some pictures (below the video) that we selected from over 1600 images that were provided to us by the amazing Aura Marzouk and also share a video provided to us by One Love Productions.  One of the most sought after videographers on the East coast.  We hope you enjoy our selections.

Let us be the first ones to say Congratulations on the birth of Jake & Jordan’s beautiful baby boy Keenan Jacob.  As with any couple we assist with their wedding, may we wish your life and love be “Always & Forever“.
