Real Brides: Marina

Since I was a child, I have loved all things wedding and to be able to talk to your wedding dress designer is a girl's dream come true! I met my husband 10 years ago through a mutual friend. I was instantly drawn to his wits and charm, but what really sealed the deal was his polite and well-mannered demeanor. We were friends for a few years and then decided to take the next step. 7 years later and we are officially husband and wife! When it came to finding the perfect dress, I presumed it would be a daunting task. My dream gown was pictured in my head, but I didn't believe I could find something that would exceed my every expectation. I wanted a modern and dramatic silhouette, but something that would also fit into my timeless and ethereal vision. When I finally came across this Val Stefani Bridal gown, I knew that it was the one for me. It was spectacular and unique, with an emphasis on the intricate details. I felt like a star in the fully beaded bodice that caught light with each and every move, to the whimsical tulle bottom that flowed behind my every step. When I put on the dress, I knew instantly, it was my dream come true.
