Janesse Quick wore four outfits to her wedding. Natura Collective Jayne and Janesse Quick got married on August 6 in Brooklyn, New York. Janesse wore four different outfits throughout their wedding day.
Her ensembles included a veil she made herself and a rainbow, tulle reception dress. Janesse and Jayne Quick have been together since 2019. Janesse and Jayne Quick.
Natura CollectiveJanesse, 31, and Jayne, 37, met in New York City on Tinder, as many modern couples do. Janesse is a creative arts therapist, and Jayne is the power director for Metro North.  But their first date wasn't just a drink at a bar or even dinner.
Janesse's brother died, and every year on his birthday, she releases a balloon in his honor. She typically pays tribute to her brother with her family, but in 2019, she had just moved to New York and didn't have any loved ones nearby — until Jayne.  "Our literal first date was her asking me if I wanted company releasing the balloon for my brother," Janesse said.
"She's the kindest person. "In 2021, Jayne proposed on top of the William Vale in Brooklyn on Janesse's birthday. The Queens-based couple planned their wedding for August 6, 2022.
 "I wanted it to be timeless, but in an extra way," Janesse told Insider of her vision for their wedding. They tied the knot in New York. Natura Collective"I wanted it to be an accumulation of all the things that I love, like glitter and color," she went on to say.
"And I wanted it to look like me when I look at the pictures in 70 years. "And for Janesse, a big part of the "extra" vibe for the wedding was wearing multiple wedding outfits. She told Insider she knew right away she would wear more than one outfit to the nuptials.
Janesse chose a sheath-style gown for her ceremony look. The gown fit her vision. Natura Collective"I've always known I wanted something high neck with kind of a scoop down the back," Janesse told Insider of her dream wedding dress.
"I always feel so elegant and regal and classic when I have that type of silhouette. "Because she was wedding shopping when many bridal boutiques were still closed because of the pandemic, Janesse decided to look for a wedding dress online. She focused on looking at used clothing sites, describing herself as "thrifty.
"She ended up finding her dream BHLDN Watters Hyde dress on Tradesy. The floor-length gown had the high neckline and low back Janesse was looking for, as well as cutouts on the side of the bodice and a dramatic train that gave the simple dress a sexy edge.  The best part? The dress, which had never been worn, cost just $500.
Janesse used a veil to make her ceremony look pop. Janesse Quick made her own veil. Natura Collective"I knew I wanted something cathedral length and dramatic because it needed it," she said of why she wanted to wear a long veil with her ceremony gown.
While scrolling through Pinterest, Janesse stumbled upon a veil embroidered with sequins that had an eclectic feel she thought would fit perfectly with her wedding. Janesse couldn't find the designer online, so she decided to make her own multicolored veil.  Janesse ordered fabric from Etsy to make her one-of-a-kind veil.
She used Etsy fabric. Natura Collective"It matched my color palette for the wedding," Janesse said of why she picked the Etsy fabric. "It had neons, it had pinks, it was abstract.
"She then cut and sewed the fabric into the shape of a cathedral-length veil, sewing a comb into the top so it would clip into her hair. The veil turned out exactly as she was hoping.  "I thought that was so precious," Janesse told Insider of being able to make her own veil.
The veil completed the bridal look. Natura CollectiveJanesse wore her hair in a bun styled by MSH Bridal, who did her makeup as well, with the veil.  "Not only was it beautiful, but I also had to use my hands to create it," Janesse said.
 "It was definitely one of the hits of the wedding," she added. A pair of the iconic blue Manolo Blahniks completed Janesse's ceremony look. "Sexy and the City" inspired Janesse Quick's shoe choice.
Natura Collective"I grew up with Carrie Bradshaw and 'Sex and the City, so I had to do the blue Manolos," Janesse said, referencing the shoes Carrie wore to marry Big in "Sex and the City. " "That's my girl, I'm living in New York, having a New York wedding. I had to do it.
"Janesse said she "felt beautiful" in her ceremony look. Jayne Quick wore a custom suit. Natura CollectiveUnlike Janesse, Jayne only wore one outfit on their wedding day, choosing a custom suit from The Tailory.
"For an androgynous presenting wife, finding a suit can be hard," Janesse said. She and Jayne went to several stores in New York before they found The Tailory, and none knew how to make a suit for a woman.  But they loved their experience with The Tailory, which is woman-owned.
 Jayne's look consisted of a white jacket, white pants, a white blouse with gold detailing on the collar, and Prada loafers. A whimsical boutonniere from Dirt. Co, which provided flowers for the wedding, completed the ensemble.
 The Quicks said 'I do' on a rooftop in Brooklyn. The Quicks at their wedding. Natura CollectiveJanesse and Jayne picked Dobbins St in Brooklyn as their venue, as it felt like it struck the balance between elegant and whimsical.
They said their vows — which they both wrote the morning of the wedding — on the rooftop in front of 70 of their closest friends and family while Eylem Basaldi officiated. Just Say Yes coordinated the event.  The brides exchanged rings from Lauren B and Cartier.
They also took photos with an old-fashioned cab to make the wedding feel even more New York. They rented the taxi. Natura CollectiveJanesse told Insider she and Jayne signed their marriage license on the back of the car.
 Film Cars provided the vintage vehicle. Natura Collective photographed the couple with the cab, as well as throughout their wedding day. The playful pastels of the ceremony continued into the Quicks' reception.
The reception was colorful. Natura CollectiveCreative Foods Catering provided food for the event. Janesse designed and picked out decor for the event, using rentals from Broadway Party Rentals and furniture from Something Taylored.
The event space had lighting from Universal Lighting, and DJ June provided entertainment at the nuptials.  Janesse also turned her ceremony dress into an activity for the reception. Guests decorated Janesse Quick's first gown.
Janesse QuickAfter the ceremony, Janesse's dress was placed on a mannequin next to an assortment of fabric paints and pens. "Instead of just having the guests sign the guest book, they signed and painted my ceremony dress," Janesse said. The dress is now in the Quicks' home, and Janesse said she hopes they have space to display it someday.
 "For me, that felt like the highest honor, having someone create and write and be a part of that day," Janesse said. "It was aligned with my profession, with who I am, and what I value, because I value creativity above everything. "Janesse entered her reception in a sparkly, long-sleeve dress.
She changed before the reception. Natura Collective"I really wanted something glam to do my first dance and the speeches," Janesse said of her approach to her second gown.  She stumbled upon the perfect Retrofête dress on clearance for $300 at a Saks Fifth Avenue in upstate New York.
 The long-sleeve gown had a low neckline, a belted waist, and a slit in the center of the skirt.  The sparkles covering the dress gave it the party feel Janesse was looking for.  Janesse didn't have to get the gown altered at all.
The dress set the party tone. Natura Collective"It fit like a glove," she said of the dress. "It hung on me exactly how it needed to.
It was everything. " Janesse also had a quick hair and makeup change for the reception, as she wanted a more glamorous look for the party. Her makeup artist added some sparkly eye shadow to her eyes, swapped her lipstick for lip gloss, and her hairstylist took her hair out of her bun to create a Hollywood-inspired look.
The transformation only took 20 minutes. Janesse's third outfit was a rainbow, tulle ball gown. The wedding featured a drag show.
Natura CollectiveDuring their reception, the Quicks surprised their guests with a drag show performance featuring Jacklynn Hyde and Catrina Lovelace. "With a drag performance, I knew that I wanted to have another outfit that was extravagant," Janesse said. She was drawn to a dress with a rainbow skirt she saw on TikTok.
"It stuck out in my head and I was like, 'OK, I need it. '"So Janesse started searching for a rainbow, tulle dress online. Janesse ended up finding a Ukrainian atelier who custom-made the dress.
The dress had a rainbow skirt. Natura CollectiveJanesse ordered the dress before the conflict in Ukraine started, and the order ended up getting canceled after it began.  But a few months later, the atelier reopened her shop, with all of the proceeds from her designs going to the women in her family.
Janesse reordered the dress, of course.  "I love the dress because it's incredible, but it just made me feel genuinely so good that any money that I spent with them was used directly for their family during this conflict," Janesse said.  The dress had a pastel bodice, while the tiered, ruffled skirt created the rainbow effect.
It cost about $400. "I just felt the love that was in it," Janesse said of the rainbow gown. The dress had a train.
Natura CollectiveShe also said she felt the love of her guests as she reentered the reception in the gown.  "I wish I could bottle up that moment and just take a little sip every day," she said. "It was just the best feeling of life.
"Sparkly boots completed the look. The shoes were sparkly. Natura CollectiveShe got the boots for just $70 at Macy's.
"I loved that look," Janesse said of the ensemble. "That was so fun to dance in. "And for her final look of the night, Janesse wore a hot-pink pantsuit.
The suit popped. Natura CollectiveJanesse knew she wanted to wear a suit at some point on her wedding day, and as with her other bridal looks, she stumbled upon the perfect ensemble by what felt like fate.  Jayne had been running a Pride race in Manhattan, and after the race, she and Janesse went shopping on the Upper West Side.
They ended up in ZCrave, where Janesse fell in love with a $299 pink pantsuit.  The silk two-piece had red detailing on the seams and in the belt, and the neckline dipped low. Janesse wore it with the sparkly boots.
 The outfit was perfect for dancing. The brides at their wedding. Natura Collective"It was easy to dance in because it was cozy and comfortable," Janesse said of the outfit.
"I got to spend like the tail end of the day dancing my ass off," she added. Stars like Ciara have also worn the suit, which made it feel even more glamorous for Janesse.  Although she loved all of her outfits, Janesse said her ceremony dress with her DIY veil was her favorite.
The brides at their wedding. Natura CollectiveThe gown was the dress of her dreams, and the veil made it feel uniquely her.  Janesse told Insider she wouldn't change anything about her wedding.
The wedding was perfect for the Quicks. Natura CollectiveJanesse said she loved every second of her wedding day, largely because of how much work she put in for it to be the ideal day for herself and Jayne. For instance, Janesse is sober, so she made sure her wedding had a plethora of non-alcoholic drink options, which isn't the case at many weddings.
 Their signature cocktail was a Princess Paloma that could be served with alcoholic or non-alcoholic tequila, and they served four different non-alcoholic wines. "I feel like as a sober person, I could have apple cider or coke at a wedding. And it's like, I don't wanna be treated like a child," she said.
"I was able to have alcohol-removed Cabernet Sauvignon during the dinner and the speeches, and it just helped me to feel more elevated even though I don't drink. ""The best advice I can give to someone who's searching for their wedding looks is to not care what people think," Janesse told Insider. Janesse Quick followed her heart when it came to wedding outfits.
Natura Collective"If I were to have shared with someone that I'm getting a rainbow tulle gown for the wedding, they would've been like, 'That's gonna look stupid,' or, 'That's gonna look tacky,'" she said. "But it was gorgeous. "Janesse thinks the only way you can be happy with your wedding attire is if you listen to your gut and what you think will look good, not what people expect you to wear.
 "Don't stick with the traditions because you don't have to," she said. "Who created these rules? It doesn't matter. There are no rules.
""Whatever feels aligned with you is always gonna be the right choice," she added. Janesse said she loves "everything" about Jayne. The Quicks cutting their cake.
Natura Collective"What I'm not good at, she's incredible at, and vice versa," Janesse said of her wife. "I'm not putting the Ikea furniture together. But she's amazing at it.
""She is the most grounded person I've ever met, and I'm very heightened," she said. "So even just our energy together, it creates such a dance. ""What I love about our relationship is we're both able to just be so goofy," Janesse said of her marriage.
The newlyweds. Natura Collective"I have no reservations. I can be the happiest of happy or on the brink of a panic attack and she's right there and we just feel safe baring it all," Janesse said of her relationship.
"I love that there are no secrets. We're fully ourselves. And we accept one another for who we are and wouldn't wanna change one thing or the other about each other," she went on to say.
"That acceptance and that nurturing and that kindness is gonna be there forever," Janesse told Insider. "That's why I got married. "If you wore an eye-catching wedding dress and want to talk to Insider for a story, get in touch at sgrindell@insider.
