Jillian was always such a pleasure to have in the store, from the day she chose her dress to her final fitting, she always had such a great, happy spirit.  She found her Stella York wedding dress relatively quickly, but what really sold her was the rose gold accented belt made my Mila’s Golden Thread.  *Mila not only is our head seamstress, she is quite the bridal belt designer!

Jillian and Michael celebrated their love with close friends and family at Forest Hills Country Club in Rockford IL. The beautiful backdrop of natural lighting and hard wood made for some beautiful photos!

Check out Jillian’s perfect rose gold accents!

#FirstLookGoals ! Look at Michael’s picture perfect reaction to his bride!!

Jillian’s train is entirely chiffon with a lace detailed hem.

 

 

Jillian’s dress had a beautiful tattoo lace back. It was the perfect compliment to her high neckline and soft aline shape.

Congratulations Jillian and Michael! It was a complete pleasure getting to work with you and help you fine tune your look. We wish you all the best as you take this amazing first step as a married couple this year.

Amy first came to us very nervous about shopping for her dress.  “I was super nervous about wedding dress shopping because I was afraid I wouldn’t find a dress that I loved or made me feel confident.” -Amy

She had found this gorgeous Wtoo gown, Agatha, online and called to make sure we had it at The Crystal Bride before making her appointment.  We tried the dress on and it was love at first sight!

“I knew it was the one instantly. It was beautiful and it fit my body perfectly. It made me feel confident and beautiful but it was also very comfortable and I knew I could wear it all day and dance all night long. Kayla did an amazing job finding me the perfect belt to add just a touch of bling.” 

 

 

 

She added perfect little touches like this sentimental “something blue” – a piece of her fathers shirt.

“They also added a patch of my dad’s shirt into my dress because he passed away soon after we got engaged and wouldn’t be there with us. It was so special to me to have a part of my dad with me on my wedding day.”

 

 

 

 

They even had a perfectly fitting theme to their nuptials.

“We had a “tie the knot” theme incorporated into our wedding including a knot tying during our ceremony where we tied a fisherman’s knot to represent our lives joining together in marriage and like the knot we will only grow stronger under pressure. “

 

Amy & Tyler were married at the beautiful Mckray Memorial Golf Club in Barrington IL. The couple couldn’t have had nicer things to say about their experience!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We truly enjoyed working with Amy and loved all the personal touches she added to her big day.  She was always kind and calm. Working with her was an absolute pleasure and wish we could do it all over again!

Congratulations Amy & Tyler! We wish you both all the best in your marriage and all that comes with it.  Your happiness shines through in these photos and we can’t thank you enough for sharing!

Cheers!!
