A Teri Jon Wedding: Bridesmaids Edition

Shira Litchman, one of Teri Jon’s former employees, married her husband, Zack recently. If you know us, you know that we could not wait to get the scoop. After being introduced by a mutual friend, Shira said that it really only took a few months of spending time with each other for the possibility of marriage to become a reality. They were destined to be together.

THE PROPOSAL:

It was no shock that a few months after they graduated from college, Zack planned an adorable proposal. He even got all of Shira’s best friends in on the surprise! It happened in one of Shira’s favorite places in New York City: Fort Tryon Park, a beautiful hidden gem all the way at the tip of Manhattan. Since, Shira could not wait to plan her wedding.

THE BRIDESMAIDS:

Shira had a lot of great women by her side on her big day. Shira’s bridesmaids included her best friends from childhood, some friends who have come into her life more recently, her sister, and her husband’s three sisters. Shira’s sister was the maid of honor.

As an incredibly crafty bride-to-be, Shira had the most adorable way to “propose” to her bridesmaids. She found a card online that had speckles of paint and a cute message along with “will you be my bridesmaid” written in gold. She printed the cards and pasted them on a hot pink background for an extra pop of color and spark of personalization.

BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES:

Shira tried to keep the colors in her wedding neutral. The bridesmaids wore silver, her sister wore blush, and the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom both astonished the room with customized black gowns.

CLOSE & PERSONAL:

Shira wanted a uniform look when it came to her bridesmaid's dresses. She wanted each bridesmaid to be comfortable and happy. She let all of her bridesmaids pick out their own dress! Silver was a great choice because different shades still look cohesive, and silver looks stunning on everyone. Three of her bridesmaids even ended up choosing Teri Jon gowns!

THE BRIDAL GOWN:

For Shira’s bridal gown, she tried on so many dresses, but when she tried on hers she knew it was perfect. All she did was add some sparkle to the waist, and she was good to go. The details she added actually came from a crystal and pearl headband in the bridal boutique. They flattened the headband and the seamstress sewed the sparkles into her gown for a personalized flair! It goes to show that wedding inspiration can be found everywhere.

SOMETHING SWEET:

They also had amazing dessert at the reception. (Obviously, we asked about the food!) The caterers served each guest a dessert plate with a variety of mini samples on it. From apple cobbler and fresh fruit to chocolate cake and chocolate mousse, everyone got to taste a little bite of everything.

TO THE BRIDE-TO-BE:

Make sure to look around during your wedding day and take a moment to let the night sink into your memory. Shira says that even if something went wrong, it didn't matter because it’s such a beautiful night to begin with and the tiny issues don’t count in the long run. You will remember the great moments of the night forever, and you are marrying your best friend.

Her favorite moment of her own wedding was the dancing! When the music came on, she had so much fun moving, grooving, celebrating, and letting all her joy show.
