Q&A WITH ALSW BRIDE CARTER///
What did you love most about working with A Little Something White Bridal?
"How helpful and easy the entire ALSW team was to work with! They made me feel so special every time I came in. I continue to send other friends there to get their dresses! ALSW was an absolute dream to work with!"
///
What would you recommend to a new bride beginning her gown shopping?
"Try on dresses even if you don't like them initially. You never know how you will feel once you have the dress on! I ended up with a dress that I initially did not like. The dress may surprise you!"
THE DECOR! An intimately lit Westchester Country Club decorated + ready for the guests to eat, drink + dance! The lush floral runners by Honeysuckle and Roses bring a touch of subtle elegance to the damask covered tables.

How did you meet your husband?
"My brother introduced us, they were roommates at the United States Naval Academy. We were friends for a bunch of years before we started dating and then the rest was history."

What was going through your mind as you walked down the aisle?
"I just couldn't believe our wedding day was finally there. I couldn't wait to get to the front of the church and marry the man of my dreams."
///
If you could go back and relive a moment from your wedding day, what would it be?
"Seeing Jake for the first time. The moment I began walking down the aisle with my father, it was clear to see how loved we both were. The look on his face was absolutely priceless. I could relieve that moment over and over."
