Martin & Annie in the Honey Silk Gown
Annie and Martin got married in Holbox, Mexico; a remote island in Mexico that is only accessible by ferry. There are no cars, limited electricity, little golf carts to get around, and sandy roads. The style of their wedding was a "backyard" boho and tropical style wedding in a beachfront location of an Airbnb villa.
What is a Grace woman to you?
Someone who is unapologetically themselves, fierce and confident in their own skin, and a beautiful beach babe.
Which GRACE dress did you wear and how did you know it was 'The One'?
I chose the honey silk dress very unexpectedly. I went into the showroom thinking I would love an all lace dress, but then realized that the light and simple feel of the silk dress made me feel comfortable, sexy, and confident all at once.

Did you buy your wedding dress online or visit one of our Boutiques?
I bought my dress at the Miami shop. This location was closest to my home. Jazmin was extremely patient with me and let me try on every single dress I wanted. I went back a second time to try the Honey Silk on one more time before I officially chose this dress.
What was your first date?
Our first date was a night at the iPic movie theater. We watched a murder mystery, cuddled with blankets and wine, and then walked to the theater bar after. We sat there and talked for hours and hours about our upbringings and our families.

Did you DIY anything?
Yes! Many things. I hand wrote little bubble cards and made gift baggies for our guests to pick up with bubble blowers for the ceremony. I also got disposable cameras for each table and designed my own signs with instructions for how to use the disposable cameras and what to take pictures of. After the wedding, I developed all of the photos. Lastly, I bought a bottle of tequila for every table and assigned a "shot master" for each table to pass around shots throughout the night. For this one, I also made little tags for each bottle that I designed and had printed assigning and explaining the role of shot master.

The funniest moment on the day or something that surprised you?
One amazing surprise the day of my wedding was that a few of my best friends who are musicians, played and sang a few of my favorite songs. Although I had requested this, hearing it live and how amazing they were, really surprised me and made the night very memorable. My favorite song of the night was "All I Need - cover from the movie CODA".
Where did you get married?
Tell us about the location & the style of your wedding.
I got married in Holbox, Mexico. This is a little, tiny, tucked away remote island in Mexico that is only accessible by ferry. There are no cars, limited electricity, little golf carts to get around, and sandy roads. The style of my wedding was a "backyard" style wedding in a beachfront location of an Airbnb villa. We rented the house for three days and threw parties there. The wedding was boho and tropical themed.
Any last advice or words of wisdom that you can share?
Honestly I couldn't recommend Grace Loves Lace more. It truly fit my vibe of being a simple bride but still feeling extremely confident and beautiful the day of my wedding. After the wedding, I even had the dress tailored to a midi length so that I can wear it for future wedding anniversaries. I will never forget it.
