Gillian + Treyton
Our Madi Lane real-bride Gillian said ‘I do’ to her love Treyton wearing our PALMER strapless fit and flare gown in the USA!
They got married in Ko’Olina, Hawaii, at a cultural institute by the water, where the stunning sunset and serene beach backdrop made their day unforgettable. Gillian looked radiant in the Palmer gown, which perfectly embodied her timeless, classic style with a touch of extra elegance.
How did you meet? And tell us your proposal story!
We were friends all throughout nursing school, but failed to realise we were perfect for each other until the last two weeks of school! We started dating post-grad, unintentionally took jobs at the same hospital, and the rest is history.
Treyton proposed to me at one of our favorite spots in Laguna Beach. The sun was setting and the tide was a bit high, but the moment was perfect! Our family and friends surprised us with so much love at the top of the cliff, while we were celebrated on the sand.
Which Madi Lane gown did you fall in love with and what was your experience?
I fell head over heels in love with Palmer! She was the second dress I tried on and I knew immediately that it was meant for me. My top 3 features were my sleeves, the floral applique on the train, and the stunning back (details, boning, fabric).
I found Palmer at Luv Bridal in my hometown. I had no expectations that I would find my dress as quickly as I did. My stylist was incredible and immediately nailed the vibe I was looking for. I wanted a dress that was timeless and classic, but had a little extra something to make it special. Palmer checked all of the boxes and as soon as I had it on, I immediately shed some tears! I was able to picture myself walking down the aisle in it to my special guy and celebrating in it on the dance floor. My mom shared “that dress is just so YOU” and that is exactly why I chose it.
Where did you get married? Tell us about the location, and style of your wedding!
Treyton and I got married in Ko’Olina, Hawaii. My husband is local to the island, but we currently live in LA so we knew it would be special to celebrate in our second home. We got married at a cultural institute along the water, with access to a private beach area. The ceremony and reception were both outdoors and the sunset was the star of the show! The primary aesthetic of the wedding was quiet luxury; I value aesthetics that are timeless. I want to be able to look back at everything in 50 years and still find it beautiful! We prioritised simple decorations, neutral colour palettes, and white florals with blush and gold accents.
What was your favourite moment from the big day?
My favorite moment from the wedding, second to sharing our vows with our loved ones,, was singing Lovebug with Treyton’s best guys. This song has become tradition for the friend group, so integrating it into our wedding was so much fun. All of the guys crowded around, we danced and laughed and sang our hearts out, and I felt so loved!
What advice would you share with future Madi Lane brides?
Pick the dress that makes you feel like yourself! There’s nothing more beautiful than you.
