Brynn

When a bride meets her groom, sparks fly. The same can be said for the dress. When Brynn tried on this one of a kind Justin Alexander gown, sparks flew. (The Brides' Shop was one of the lucky stores that picked up this dress before the designer decided not to release the design.) With custom alterations to personalize her gown, Brynn made a show stopping appearance on her wedding day. We love, love, LOVE her in this dress.

The stunning silk mikado of this Justin Alexander gown is photographed so beautifully. The great seaming of the dress creates a flattering hourglass figure on this beautiful bride. We are head over heels in love with the beaded shoulders and high modern neckline.

The stunning silk and crystal buttons running down the entire length of the train add drama. 

Can we also mention that we are in love with Brynn's bouquet?!

Now that we have taken in the gorgeous details of Brynn's dress, let's take a look at the whole picture!

Congratulations to Brynn and her lucky husband Colton!

Ellen

I was beyond excited when I picked up the phone and heard Ellen's voice on the other end. It's been about a year since she got married, but she didn't forget about us. Between all the wedding planning and moving to Boston she finally got a minute to email me over some pictures. I'm so glad she did. This wedding is fun and elegant all wrapped into one! I also wanted to share what Ellen had to say about their wedding day!

"Our wedding was an absolute dream come true. It was so fun going wedding dress shopping with my mom at the Bride's shop. The staff was so friendly and helpful and they gave us all the special attention that a bride deserves. I had a hard time deciding on the dress, because there were several options I loved. When I finally chose, it was so fun re-designing the top half with Oksana. She did a phenomenal job on the alterations.  

My friend designed a custom vest and bow tie for our English bulldog Winston. The handmade touches at our wedding made it all our own; the custom bridemaid's skirts made from silk taffeta, the bow ties for all of our nephews created by my mother in law, the custom vest for our dog, all the plastic lanterns that my siblings slaved away making weeks before the wedding, and our invitations that were letter pressed. The modern, geometric, plastic lanterns that I brought back from Thailand, strung across the outside patio at Market Street Grill Cottonwood, were my favorite touch at our reception.

Our exit on rollerblades at the end of the night was another very memorable moment. Our photographer Heather, is an extremely talented and down to earth person.  We quickly felt close to her and felt the trust that should be present for such an important event.  She was so great to work with. We love and treasure all of our photos. I would highly recommend all of the vendors that we used."

Congrats to the both of you! Such a great couple and how cute is that dog???
