Bride Wears Mom's Wedding Dress

Selena and Alex | The Howey Mansion

There’s something truly magical about a bride who wears her mom’s wedding dress at a historic house, The Howey Mansion, one of Orlando’s most popular venues. For Selena and Alex, their January wedding at The Howey Mansion was nothing short of a fairytale. The stately mansion, set against a picturesque Orlando late afternoon, provided the perfect backdrop for their unforgettable day.

Vintage Wedding Dress
One of the most touching details was Selena’s choice to wear her mother’s wedding dress—a beautiful tribute to family and tradition. As she arrived at the ceremony in a classic car, the moment felt straight out of a vintage love story. With the mansion’s grand architecture framing the front patio, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by 150 of their friends and family.

After cocktails, the celebration continued in the back of the mansion, where guests dined under twinkling market lights, creating an intimate and enchanting ambiance.

First Dance with Spark Fountains
As the night unfolded, the newlyweds celebrated their 1st dance on the patio before all their guests. It was a perfect 1st dance that was even more breathtaking with a stunning Spark Fountain display by Soundwave Entertainment.
