Real Brides: Jessica

Chris and I met over 11 years ago and instantly shared a connection. We developed a unique bond, but the timing was off, forcing us to put a romantic relationship on hold and remain friends. Fast forward seven years later, where we were finally able pick-up right where we left off and fell in love all over again. Before we knew it, we were engaged and planning a summer wedding. I was overwhelmed with dress shopping, but thought for sure I would be a “lace bride”. After trying on just two dresses I felt defeated, but overheard the attendants trying to find “that Val Stefani Bridal dress”. Sure enough, the third time was a charm! From the second I tried on the dress, I knew it was the one. Any tiny doubt I had about not wearing lace was quickly put aside when I saw everyone’s reaction to the beautiful open back and train! Even a stylist from another designer’s trunk show came up to me and told me that I had to buy it! Our wedding day was simply beautiful, and my dress helped make those special moments feel even more magical. Thank you for this stunning dress, as I couldn’t imagine beginning this chapter of our love story in anything else! Our wedding day was simply beautiful, and my dress helped make those special moments feel even more magical.  Photography Credit: Endless Wave Studios
