Stephanie’s mother made her exquisite wedding gown. “She has made a lot of my attire for important occasions throughout my life, from homecoming court to prom dresses, so it was only right that she make my wedding dress,” says the bride.

The modern, elegant design of the Clinton Presidential Center was the perfect reception venue. “We were immediately sold on the beauty of the open space and the windows in the great hall,” says Stephanie.
