I wanted a gown that felt elegant and effortlessly sophisticated. From the beginning, I was drawn to the clean structure of Mikado fabric. Its crisp lines represented the strength, stability, and foundation we are building in our marriage. To soften those structured elements, I paired the gown with delicate lace sleeves that brought in a sense of romance and femininity.

Finding my dress was an experience I’ll cherish forever. My bridal stylist at Truly Forever Bridal, Ash, made me feel completely seen from the very beginning. She didn’t simply help me try on dresses. She physically sat on the floor beside me, listened to my vision, and helped me dream through every possibility. I told her I envisioned sleeves and wanted to feel both covered and feminine. When she returned with a strapless gown, I was admittedly surprised since I had been so certain that wasn’t what I wanted. With a smile, she simply said, ‘Trust me, you might be surprised.’

She was absolutely right. It was the third dress I tried on, and the moment I stepped in front of the mirror, tears filled my eyes. Ash added temporary lace sleeves so I could fully envision the finished look, and suddenly everything came together. For the first time, I felt completely confident, elegant, and entirely myself. It’s a moment I’ll never forget, and one I’ll always be grateful to Ash for helping create.

When it came to finding my dress, I wanted something that felt timeless, elegant, and uniquely me. As a huge fan of classic films, I have always been drawn to the glamour and sophistication of old Hollywood.

The moment I walked into Truly Forever Bridal and saw the dress displayed, I immediately knew it was the one. Its classic beauty paired with a unique, vintage-inspired silhouette perfectly captured the timeless elegance I had envisioned for my wedding day.

I had attended a few industry networking events at Truly Forever Bridal and loved how friendly and welcoming the staff was.

My dress was actually totally different than what I imagined. I had envisioned plain and beachy, but tried this one on and knew it was meant to be.

Texture and details have always been important to me, so I wanted my dress to have lots of heavy detail and beading as well as floral detail. I wanted something textured, beaded, floral, form-fitting, and unique.

I have always loved Truly Forever Bridal and used them for hemming bridesmaids dresses in the past. I knew they had a large collection and figured it would be the perfect location. It was a wonderful experience!

I originally did not want a wedding dress of my own, as we planned to elope. However, since we were having a reception at The Hotel Zamora, my mom and sister encouraged me to find a dress of my own so I could experience wedding dress shopping and possibly have a dress to pass down to future daughters.

I chose Truly Forever Bridal. I went wedding dress shopping less than two months prior to the reception, so I had to find a dress that fit right off the rack due to timing. I loved the dress’s corset and the fact that it had pockets! It made me feel like a true bride.

For my wedding dress, I initially imagined myself in a clean and simple, all-satin gown. When I went to a few bridal shops to try on those dress styles, I fell in love with so many; however, I did not necessarily feel like a bride.

I heard that Truly Forever Bridal had a large selection of dresses, so I made an appointment there next to continue my search. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. Truly Forever Bridal is basically like 10 bridal shops in one warehouse. It was incredible, and so was Ash, my amazing stylist, who also became a great friend throughout the process!

I tried on several dresses that Ash found throughout the store to match my vision. I absolutely loved the pearl, corset bodice, and dramatic satin skirt and train with the front slit on the Milla Nova gown I ended up choosing.
