The Crystal Bride is so excited to announce this highly exclusive collection! We are the first in Illinois to showcase these beautiful gowns for this week only! We will have these gowns from Friday, April 12th until Saturday April 20th, 2019.

FAQ:

–What is a preview show?

A showcase of the newest bridal gowns from one particular designer. These styles have not technically hit the market just yet, so photos are a no-no. However, you are able to try these styles on and if you end up selecting a dress, you are always able to order it. At times some of these styles don’t ever go into production, so there is a slight chance you could have a one of a kind gown!

–Do I need an appointment?

YES!! Absolutely! In order to try these styles on, you do need a skilled consultant working with you. She will be able to answer any questions about each gown, help you in and out of each style as well as give you color options, proper fit information and be able to get the dress on order for you.

–Why do you do a preview show?

The feedback from a real bride is better than anything! We take your feedback into consideration, (things you like and dislike) and report back to the designer. It helps us be better at our jobs and service you to the best of our abilities.

–Why can’t we take pictures?

Because these styles potentially could never hit the market, the styles need to remain private. The designers ask that we respect their visions and would love if you did as well. However, if you do decide to purchase that day, photos are more than welcome!!

–What do I bring?

An open mind! We have strapless bras, jewelry, a small selection of shoes, etc. Trunk shows tend to get a little hectic, so we do request you don’t bring a large group with you to shop, it becomes a bit overwhelming.

–How long does it take for the preview show dresses to come in once I order?

The dresses have not officially gone into production, so they do take the full 6 months to arrive. Alterations are still an average 3-4 months to complete, so please make sure you have enough time to complete the process.

Please give the store a call to schedule your appointment! We couldn’t be more excited!!

Check out these amazingly beautiful photos from Nicole & Tim’s amazing fall wedding.  Their venue was The Chateau Busche in Alsip, IL which allowed for the perfect, feminine backdrop for these amazing pictures.

Nicole came to us with a very laid back approach to her wedding dress.She wanted to feel comfortable above all and shopping with her was a complete hoot! Any dress that was slightly uncomfortable was just never going to be “The One”! When we landed on this elegant and classic Essense of Australia off the shoulder a-line, we knew we were in business! It was the perfect balance of timeless beauty and comfort!

In true comfort fashion, Nicole chose to wear the adorable sparkly Kate Spade Keds!! Now available at The Crystal Bride! They were comfortable from the beginning to the end of the day!!

The couple gave a personal shout out to The Matt Steadman Band / Ring of Music Orchestra that played their reception – they felt they were beyond amazing!!

Even their pup got in on the formal wear!! Soo Cute!!!

You can totally see the love between these two!

The bridal party was another fun part of Nicole’s wedding process with us at The Crystal Bride.  We went back and fourth with the color a couple of times before we landed on the perfect shade of aubergine by Sorrella Vita.  We even got matching bow ties for the groomsmen to make sure we stayed with the same tone across the board.

Congratulations to you both! It was such a pleasure getting a chance to work with you and help you find the perfect dress and outfit your bridal party.  We wish you both all the love in the world as you take this next step together.
