✨ Welcome to The Wedding Wanderer
For the bride with a suitcase heart and a soul made of stories.
Hi lovely,
I’m Alicia—bride whisperer, boutique owner, travel romantic, and the voice behind The Wedding Wanderer. If you're here, it means you believe what I do:
That love is a journey.
That weddings are more than events—they’re art.
And that magic is often found somewhere between a cobblestone street and a dress that makes your heart skip.
This space was born from my passion for bridal fashion and my wanderlust for places that stir the soul. Through each post, I’ll be sharing:
💍 Gown stories from around the globe
🏰 Venue discoveries that feel straight from a dream
🌍 Love traditions and cultural rituals that transcend borders
✈️ Behind-the-scenes glimpses from my travels and bridal world adventures
Whether you’re a bride planning your big day, a creative soul craving beauty, or just someone who believes in romance, you’re in the right place.
We’re just getting started. My first trips are on the calendar, my camera is charged, and my heart is wide open.
Thank you for being here at the beginning.
Let’s wander together.
With love and luggage,
Alicia Gabriel
Founder, Velvet Bridal & The Wedding Wanderer
