We are thrilled to share ALLY bride, Sammie Fricke and her modern style wedding. Find out more about her special day and her biggest piece of advice for a future bride.
ALLY Shoes: Tell us about yourself
Sammie: I'm a 31 year old Marketing Director that lives in the details. This was a blessing and a curse during wedding planning! I was born and raised in small town Southern IL, graduated from the University of Illinois, and lived in 5 different cities before coming back to So. IL to work remotely during Covid. I was reluctant at the time but I'm thankful I came back home because that's when I met my husband! My husband is a college basketball coach so I spend a lot of my free time at basketball games. The week after our honeymoon he accepted a new job at Drake University and we have been settling into married life and a new city all at once!
ALLY Shoes: What was the vibe of your wedding?
Sammie: Modern, timeless, and fun!
ALLY Shoes: Team DJ or Team Band
Sammie: DJ! I do love a good wedding band but nothing keeps the late night party going like a good DJ!
ALLY Shoes: What advice do you have for future brides?
Sammie: Focus on the details you really want for your day and the rest will fall into place!
Ally Shoes: What's the one thing that sticks out the most to you about your special day?
Sammie: I have two: how much fun everyone had all weekend and how many people traveled to be there. 95% of our guests had to travel and that meant more to us than I can say. It is the most heartwarming and humbling thing to see all of your people show up for you on your big day.
ALLY Shoes: Who is your ally?
Sammie: My mom. And my MOH Lorna
