Yasamin and her husband had a beautiful beachfront wedding and reception tucked away in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. In the following interview, Yasamin shares the moments she will cherish forever and how she found the dress of her dreams with us! As told by Yasamin:

"Once I tried on my dress I couldn’t take it off."

A moment of your wedding day will you never forget?

Where do I even start? Every moment was incredible! My first look with Sammy was pretty unforgettable. The goosebumps and excitement washed over me when I first saw him waiting there with his back turned. I couldn’t help running up to him and throwing my arms around him. Like, “We’re finally doing this babe!” And of course, celebrating with all of my favorite people, my family, the little moments we shared, and the energy you all brought to our wedding weekend was magic.

How did you know your dress was 'the one'?

It was an immediate feeling even before I stepped on the pedestal to see myself, I felt like Persian royalty. I knew in my heart I wanted a gown that felt whimsical, made me feel radiant, and allowed me to be playful. Once I tried on my dress I couldn’t take it off.

"His reaction was my favorite, him holding me speechless, unforgettable."

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress?

I had somehow managed to not show my dress to anyone but my mom & my sisters who had come with me to the LA showroom to pick it out. Even my bridesmaids were totally in the dark – this was incredibly hard but totally worth it. Seeing the girls’ reactions & happy tears was the best feeling before heading down to see Sammy for our first look. His reaction was my favorite, him holding me speechless, unforgettable.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

We rented a white vintage convertible to take us from the beach to the reception area tucked in the Sierra Madre mountains. After a glorious sunset, we hop in, Sammy, Puppy, and I, my voluminous dress taking up most of the space.

The night was starting to cool down and it was so exhilarating feeling the wind through our hair as we drove up the windy road. All the guests had taken the trolley and were already there. You had to walk up 40 steps to get to the party, so they had a perfect view of us arriving in our cool whip and gave us the warmest welcome as we rolled up.
