REAL BRIDE BLOG - MARIA & JOHN

Finding your dream wedding dress is one of the most exciting moments of planning your big day. It’s a chance to embrace your unique style, envision your walk down the aisle, and say "yes" to the dress that reflects who you are on one of the most important days of your life.  A dress that looks stunning in a photo might feel different when you try it on, so don’t limit yourself to one vision. Let yourself be surprised—you might end up loving a style you never considered. This is very true of our next bride Maria who fell in love with Aretta, a dress very different to what she imagined!

Aretta is a fabulous mermaid style and is entirely decorated with beads and sequins. The off shoulder neckline bares the decollete and the long semi-transparent sleeves are also covered with sparkling elements 

 

Let's hear all about it... 

Maria, firstly tell us about your dress?

I wore Aretta by Eva Lendel and it was absolutely nothing like what I thought I would have gone for. I really did think I would have went for something like a plain ivory material. I had tried on a few different styles of dresses beforehand and there were a few I thought would have been ok until I tried on Aretta.

The night before we visited pearls and lace my best friend had gone through the website and chose a dress she wanted me to try on and it ended up being the one. I felt amazing in it in the shop and I remember saying to the lovely Emma when I was putting it on that I could definitely see myself getting married in this in December and I did! 
 

 

How did you style your dress? 

I wore a cathedral length plain tulle veil as I thought there was enough going on in the dress itself. I wore simple drop stud earrings and went for an all white flower bouquet with all different types of white flowers. I went for an Ivory Satin Jimmy Choo Saeda with a Jewelled ankle strap and I loved every second wearing them aswell. 

 

Tell us about your bridal party?

My gorgeous five bridesmaids wore a satin full length slate grey dress with full sleeves. John and the groomsmen wore Black tuxedos and John had a double breasted waist coat and velvet jacket. 
 

What would your advice be for other brides to be?

It really does all work out how it’s meant to be. Don’t stress the small stuff and Enjoy every minute! 

 

What was your most memorable moment of your special day? 

Our first dance was really special as Johns Dad sang it for us and walking up the Aisle was so memorable, you just want to take in every moment of the day. 
As always thank you so much for sharing your special moments with us.
