You pepped me up during my dress stress and celebrated with me when I found the dress. Now it is time for the big reveal!!! While I follow fashion with great interest, I knew little of the wedding-fashion-industry. I did my homework, tried on countless dresses, flirted with Ulla-Maija, and then fell in love with Monique Lhuillier. I initially leaned towards an alllll lace dress and then switched to eyeing a tiered number (just think: detach the bottom tier and you have the perfect reception dress to dance the night away).
On one hand I wanted to be classic, elegant, and aisle-appropriate but on the other hand I wanted haute-runway-couture. With my mom, my sissy Elsie, and two bff's in tow, we landed at New York Bride Loft (now New York Bride and Groom). I could not sing higher praises of the boutique owner, Krista. She is the wedding dress whisperer!! It's neither lace nor tiered, but it had the edge of couture coupled with timeless elegance. Can you tell I loooove my dress!? Want to see it on!? Sooooon enough.

Wow! You tried on a lot. :) Can't wait to see the dress on you! My story was pretty much the opposite of yours! I looked at some dresses online. Fell in love with one. Called up the store; they were going to have that dress in for a few days for the trunk show. Mom and I went to the store on the day of the trunk show. I grabbed the dress just to make sure it fits. Mom made me try on like two more dresses. I bought one I had in mind, in and out of the store within 30 minutes. The end. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I bought my dress at NY Bride Loft also and just loved the service and selection!
ReplyDeleteoh I love it! can't wait to see more pictures
ReplyDeleteI just got back from NYFW and was able to see her show while I was there. It was lovely!
