Mrs. Heidi Marie (Garrett) Villa is one of a kind. She is genuinely as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She is an authentic, warm-hearted Christ follower and her love for the Lord radiates from her very being. And she just-so-happens to be an extremely talented (and ever so slightly insta-famous) makeup artist.

When we were graced with her presence at Love and Lace throughout her dress shopping and fitting appointments, we got to know her intimately as she openly shared details about her relationship with Josh and their road to marriage. Her story was filled with surrender to the way the Bible calls us to love and deep adoration for her hubby-to-be. You can read more about their enchanting love story and commitment to purity here: http://violetvilla.com/

The dress Heidi chose was as perfect for her as her mate: a Theia Couture lacey A-line dress that had the perfect V-back to frame her Cambodian tattoo in the middle of her back that says “same same but different.”

We love the lace overlay and sweetheart neckline. It’s the perfect mix of modesty and delicate femininity. Heidi looked radiant on her wedding day and we wish the happy couple a lifetime of wedded bliss. We know they will have abundant joy as they continue to minister to others through their love for each other!
