Real Brides: Aurelia

I met my husband when he walked in as a customer at the clothing store where I worked in high school. I helped him find some clothing and I couldn’t get over how handsome he was. We exchanged numbers and he took me out on our first date shortly afterwards! I immediately knew he was my soul mate. We’ve been together for over 5 years and decided to finally tie the knot this summer, and the rest is history! 

I had been to nine bridal shops looking for the perfect dress that was unique, jaw dropping and classy. I found a couple I liked but I didn’t love. I tried on the ‘Carmen’ Val Stefani dress which I loved but it was a mermaid style gown and I wanted an A-line. I quickly learned that I absolutely loved Val Stefani's excellent quality of dresses, they far surpassed the many other designers I tried on. The intricate beading and design was incredible. I saw the style ‘Soprano’ online and I knew I had to try it on. I stopped at nothing to get this dress even when my local bridal stores didn’t carry it. I was finally able to try the dress on and was overcome with emotions, it was my perfect dress. I felt like royalty in my wedding dress. The dress of my absolute dreams, almost like it was made for me!
