Finding the one doesn’t always happen the way brides expect — and this beautiful bride’s journey proves exactly that.
Gemma arrived with a completely different style in mind, but the very first dress she tried on quickly captured her heart. After exploring a nice selection of dresses throughout her appointment, she simply couldn’t forget the incredible train and the feeling she had wearing that first dress. By the end of the appointment, she found herself right back where she started, saying yes to the gown that had stood out from the very beginning.
Gemma fell in love with 'Tara' a romantic floral lace wedding dress designed to beautifully highlight the figure with its elegant column sheath silhouette. Featuring a modern square neckline, delicate floral straps and a sheer lace bodice with a low square back, this gown blends timeless romance with contemporary detail. Handcrafted floral lace softly contours the body before flowing into a clean skirt and striking cutout lace train, creating a breathtaking finish for the walk down the aisle.

Let's hear all about it...
Gemma, firstly tell us about your dress?
My dress was the opposite of what I thought I would pick but once I tried it on, I fell in love with the train. My dress was the first one I tried on and after many more dresses I cane back to the first one.
How did you style your dress?
I went for a silver necklace. And to show off the train I decided to go for a pearl headband instead of a veil. I choose bright coloured flowers as I always love bright colours.

Tell us about your bridal party?
My bridesmaids wore wine dresses and our groomsmen wore ties to match. Their suits were checked and including burgundy strips to tie in with the bridesmaid dresses. The bright flowers really were the finishing touch.
What would your advice be for other brides to be?
Don't stress about the little details, trust that everything will come together on the day and just enjoy every minute!

What was your most memorable moment of your special day?
Walking into our reception with everyone up on their feet dancing with napkins in the air. It highlighted the magic of celebrating the most amazing day of our lives surrounded by all our loved ones.
It was such a pleasure helping our beautiful bride find the dress that felt truly meant for her. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a special chapter and for sharing these wonderful moments with us — we wish you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness and unforgettable memories together.
