Jennie Veazey asked Rachel Hauck:

Hi Rachel, What was your inspiration for The Wedding Shop and The Wedding Dress? I loved both stories. I listened to both on audible and the narration was the best. I just loved listening to her tell the stories. I would think about what may have inspired you to write the story or where the idea's came from. I absolutely loved both stories and will be reading more of your novels! Thank you! Jennie

Rachel Hauck Jennie, thanks for writing. Sorry I'm so slow in answering! The Wedding Dress was the first idea, way back in 2010! I was with some friends talking about weddings it it just hit me: one dress, a hundred years. The story grew from there.

Because of The Wedding Dresses success, my publisher asked for "more of the same." So I wrote The Wedding Chapel and The Wedding Shop. The Wedding Chapel was literally inspired by driving past a wedding chapel in Tennessee. :) The Wedding Shop followed and I think was a suggestion from a friend. I loved that ultimately the shop allowed me to bring the dress back again! XO, Rachel
