Additionally, we wanted to share some sneak peaks of their beautiful weddings and how they brought their vision to life for their BIG DAY!
The third bride we will be featuring is Mrs. Samantha McPherson! We are thrilled to share her happily-ever-after story and we hope it inspires you to become a Casablanca Bride.
How did you meet your husband?
“My husband and I met at a bar in Newport Beach, California — Blue Beet. We had mutual friends and I talked his ear off for quite some time. He went to the restroom and the band started playing a song that I HAD to dance to. So, I walked into the men’s restroom, pulled him out of the line, and brought him to the dance floor. We’ve been dancing through life together since.”
How did you select your perfect wedding venue?
“I love planning parties so wedding planning was fun for me! We booked our venue and a lot of the main vendors a few months after we got engaged (more than a year before the wedding) so a lot of the “heavy lifting” was done early. That relieved a lot of stress, and I was able to enjoy the process and fun activities leading up to the big day.”
Where and when did you get married?
“We got married at Green Gables wedding estate in San Marcos on February 3, 2023 (2.3.23). Also, the five-year anniversary of when we first said: ‘I love you.’”
How did Casablanca bridal make your wedding day special? Why did you choose to celebrate forever in one of our gowns?
“Casablanca bridal made my wedding special by providing one of the most crucial elements of the day — my dress (and veil)! My dress, Style 2442 Sabrina with veil 2398V, made me feel confident and beautiful. The perfect way to feel while taking the steps down the aisle to ‘celebrate forever.’”
“My dress made me feel confident and beautiful.”
Why did you choose Casablanca Bridal?
“The stunning gown designs drew me to Casablanca Bridal. At my appointment, I was very impressed by how great the quality was and I loved having the option to customize the dress. These are all elements that were important to me while choosing my dress and Casablanca delivered at a reasonable price.”
What makes you a strong woman and how do you empower yourself and the women around you?
“I am a strong woman because I know my self-worth and I don’t say “no” to myself. I’m not hesitant to stand up for myself and others, especially the people I care about. I feel empowered by lifting others up, spreading joy, and being someone they can rely on.”
“I am a strong woman because I know my self-worth."
Thank you, Samantha for saying “yes to the dress” at Casablanca Bridal Flagship in Crystal Cove! Style 2442 complimented your natural beauty and you absolutely shined on your wedding day. We are honored to feature your fairytale wedding on our blog.
