One year after Hannah Kelsey Brown and Adam Woolard exchanged vows in Nice, France, the two-time New York Times bestselling author and star of The Bachelorette Season 15 returns to update her Dream Registry and look back at her destination nuptials. On July 26, 2025, the couple wed in a coastal celebration at Domaine du Mont Leuze, coordinated and designed by Over The Moon Directory Planner Mariée Ami.
The bride floated down the aisle in Mira Zwillinger’s Cheyan Dress, customized especially for her ceremony. “I went into wedding dress shopping with a very specific idea of what I thought I wanted: something stark white and covered in lace,” Hannah explains. “Then I saw the Mira Zwillinger gown at Mark Ingram Atelier, and it was almost everything I had said I was not going to choose! I initially tried it on just for fun, but the moment I put it on, before my mom had even come into the room, I had this immediate feeling of, ‘Wait—is this my dress?’”
The most famously unexpected moment happened shortly after finding her dress, when Hannah accidentally texted Adam a photo of herself in the final look. “I was trying to send it to one of my best friends and immediately panicked when I realized I had sent it to him instead,” she remembers. “I quickly started sending him pictures of several other dresses to convince him that it was only one of many options. Thankfully, it worked—or at least he was kind enough to let me believe it worked! He still had such an emotional reaction when he saw me coming down the aisle.”

Since her wedding, Hannah’s personal aesthetic has remained consistent. “I would describe my personal style as feminine, romantic, and effortlessly elegant, but always with an element of comfort and practicality,” she shares. “I love soft colors, beautiful textures, and pieces that feel special without feeling overly precious. Whether it is fashion or interiors, I am usually drawn to things that feel timeless but still have a little personality and whimsy.”
If anything, her style has become more refined and intentional. “After the wedding, and especially as Adam and I have started building our home together, I have been thinking more about investing in pieces that will last and grow with us through different seasons of life,” Hannah remarks. “I still love something feminine and fun, but I am more interested in quality, versatility, and choosing things that genuinely feel like me rather than simply following a trend.”

Q:
Ginori 1735 remains a favorite brand from your last Dream Registry. What makes it such a staple?
The Ginori 1735 Oriente Italiano dinnerware is something I am especially excited about because I love the idea of collecting it over time. There are so many beautiful colors and pieces within the collection, and I think it would be so fun to gradually build a set that feels layered and personal rather than perfectly matched all at once. Each piece feels like functional art, and I can imagine using it for both special occasions and everyday meals.

Q:
What were some of your other favorite, newer additions to your registry?
I chose the Hibiscus Glass Large Fluted Vase because it feels both sculptural and timeless. I love pieces that are beautiful enough to stand on their own but are also practical, and I can picture using it with everything from simple greenery to full, romantic arrangements. It has such a soft, organic shape that feels very true to my style. I also chose the Waterford Lismore glasses because they feel classic and celebratory. The crystal pattern is so timeless, but the glasses are still useful enough to actually enjoy rather than save away. I love the idea of pulling them out for dinner with friends, holidays, or even a simple drink at home and making an ordinary moment feel a little more special.

With a year of marriage under her belt, Hannah leaves us by sharing a sage piece of advice on her anniversary: “Do not stop being curious about the person you married. It is easy to assume that because you love someone and know them deeply, you always know what they are thinking or needing. But people continue to grow and change, and a healthy marriage requires continually choosing to learn each other. Adam and I are still newly married, so I certainly do not pretend to have everything figured out. But I am learning that marriage is less about finding a person who perfectly meets every need and more about creating a relationship where you can both be honest, extend grace, repair when you get it wrong, and continue turning toward one another.”
