Alyssa & Kyle's Timeless Beach Wedding Inspiration

ALYSSA WEARS OUR BLOOM PLATFORMS

How was your experience as a Forever Soles bride?

My experience as a Forever Soles bride was absolutely amazing! I had spent so many hours researching the perfect shoe that was classy and had everything I was looking for, yet still a good fit for the beach. I ended up purchasing the Bloom Platforms and love them so much! Not only are they stunning, but they are also comfy - the perfect combination! I got to have the height I wanted for photos in addition to heels that wouldn’t make me sink in the sand. Not to mention the ease of putting them on as well as the intricate details that look so beautiful in photos!

What was your favourite thing about your shoes?

My favourite part of my wedding day shoes is the incredible beaded detailing.

How did you and your husband meet?

My husband and I met online through the dating app, Hinge. Kyle is the most incredible person and I feel so lucky to share life with him. We have been inseparable since our first date on April 14, 2022.

How long have you been together and how did he propose?

Kyle proposed to me exactly one year later (April 14, 2023) on Huntington Beach in California. He knows I’m obsessed with finding sand dollars and took me on a trip to do just that!

At one point while we were searching on the beach, he reached down and said he “found a good one”. I was surprised because I didn’t think he knew what to look for and usually they are darker, but this particular sand dollar was already perfectly bleached… so I was suspicious and thought maybe it was someone else’s! Hahaha…

I then flipped the sand dollar over in confusion and saw he had written on the other side, “Will you marry me?”. He was on one knee and I said, “yes! yes! yes! A million times yes!”

We got married on April 14, 2024 to keep our special day ❤️

How would you describe your wedding in one word?

I would say the perfect word for our wedding was “timeless”

What is your favourite memory from your wedding?

My favourite moment was a tie between seeing Kyle’s reaction as I walked down the aisle and having my bonus daughter adore being with me and my girls in the bridal room. Both moments were such special memories I’ll cherish forever.

Where was your wedding located? What made you choose this location?

Our wedding was at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach in Cancun, Mexico! We chose a destination wedding because of our love for the beach and we wanted everyone to enjoy a beautiful vacation with us to celebrate!

We chose this location after giving a lot of criteria to a destination planner, such as having a kid friendly resort that is classy and has excellent food.

Who created your gorgeous gown?

My gown was designed by the one and only Randy Fenoli :)

He was so wonderful along with the rest of the Kleinfeld staff. It was my dream to go to New York and have a “Say Yes to the Dress” moment. Kyle helped me fulfill this and I got to have the most incredible experience in New York with my mom, grandma, and best friend.

You're a wife now! How does it feel to finally tie the knot?

I have so many butterflies getting to call Kyle my husband! It feels so wonderful to have found my person. It really is like an endless sleepover with your best friend!

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We initially extended our stay in Mexico to celebrate our honeymoon and are planning an official, separate honeymoon this holiday season in Europe!

Any advice for our brides-to-be?

My main piece of advice to other destination brides would be to make sure you research specifics such as how many weddings per day a resort does and what options they have if weather conditions change. We found that we got so much special treatment by having a resort only operating one wedding per day and my mind was at ease as the bride to know we had a backup plan in case weather wasn’t on our side.
