Ally and Dillon

Their love story began when Ally and Dillon decided to take a spontaneous trip to Denver with their close friends. Despite living in the same neighborhood, they had never met prior to this trip. “ For Dillon, it was love at first sight. For me, it took a bit more time since I wasn’t looking for a new relationship at that point in my life (I was working fulltime and also getting my Masters). But after a year of persistence from Dillon, we made things official. 6 months later we moved in together & 1 year later we were engaged and planning our wedding!”

After spending a lovely evening at one of their favorite spots, Trivoli Tavern, complete with photos in the photo booth, they returned to their condo. It was there that Dillion asked the big question, creating the proposal of her dreams. The moment felt magical—just the two of them (plus their lovable Australian Shepherd, Babs)—sharing a beautiful night together. It was everything she had hoped for: simple, sweet, and perfectly personal. They soaked in the joy of the moment before revealing the exciting news to family and friends the following morning.

And now the dress hunt begins! “As someone who is a lover of fashion & knows her style very well, I always knew it would be a challenge for me to find a wedding gown that ticked all my boxes. After meeting with Catherine at Mira Couture & trying on a few beautiful gowns, she suggested that I consider going the full custom route. This was the best decision I ever could have made!” With Ally’s personal love for fashion and Mira Couture’s help they were able to design Ally’s dream bridal gown.

Ally and Dillon wanted a unique, five-day wedding in Tuscany, Italy, with 31 close guests. They rented a Villa in Asciano Pisano and began their celebration. After arriving, guests enjoyed a welcome party in the villa’s living room. The next days included wine tastings, a poolside party, and a rehearsal dinner with five courses of pasta. On Saturday, the couple’s black-tie ceremony featured a string quartet and was officiated by the groom’s uncle. Afterward, guests dined in the villa ballroom before a surprise DJ set in the wine cellar. The night ended with burgers and fries before the couple left for a mini-moon in Portofino!
