A Bride’s Story…

What woman doesn’t want to look her very best on their wedding day? After all, on this special day, there are so many people to impress and it can be the most important day in a girl’s life as my mom has always told me.

So I did what many others like me do in the run-up to our wedding. Along with a group of my very best girlfriends, I set out on a Saturday on the hunt for the ultimate wedding dress.  We went from boutique, to departments store and I found myself thinking, these are too expensive for what I am getting.  But we continued on, one after another, but nothing, some were way too old-fashioned. One of my friends even suggested going for a mail order outfit. But that seemed too risky. After all, what if it didn’t fit?

But then another suggestion came.  A family friend had suggested a custom dressmaker that we can go and meet.  I figured if I was going to spend a whole bunch of money on a dress, I wanted to get exactly what I wanted.  When we arrived in the Johnny’s Bridal design studio, I was already impressed.  

Hanging in the corner of the room was a gorgeous elegant gown that was much more my taste.

Johnny and his staff who were so welcoming and knew exactly what would make me happy greeted me.  After a bit of discussion, Johnny sketched me out a design of exactly what I imagined.  I decided to go with the ice pink shade, not too loud yet not too demure and still very feminine. And it was simple which I wanted most of all.  No long puffy train for me.  All I wanted was an elegant princess like piece that could last forever. As we began the process, I was able to see my dress come to life with every meeting with Johnny’s Bridal… Most of all at my last fitting, when I put on the final creation, all my girlfriends just oohed and ahhed in appreciation at my choice.  I could feel my excitement as pinned and finished the dress of my dreams – and my size – my cut and my look.  Next thing I know it was completed steamed and bagged with soft tissue paper and I was now good to go. I knew my wedding day would be perfect… because I would look PERFECT.

And in case you were all wondering, my new husband was floored with excitement at how beautiful and sexy I looked to him.  And lastly, my parents gave me their wholehearted approval.
