The Crystal Bride has the pleasure of hosting another trunk show from one of our top designers; Essense of Australia !

…

This exclusive event runs from Friday October 26th through October 27th. Appointments are required and extremely limited! Make your appointment today!!

 

FAQ:

–What is a trunk show?

A showcase of the newest bridal gowns from one particular designer. These are current gowns that are typically not in the store. This is an amazing opportunity to see tons and tons of styles from a particular designer. Photos are welcome !

–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.

–Do you have a variety of sizes to try on?

YES!! Absolutely yes! The Crystal Bride loves teaming up with Essense of Australia to bring the most beautiful, body inclusive styles to our brides. That being said, Essense will be sending a variety of sizes to try on and give you the best experience imaginable. Every Body, Every Bride is a campaign that Essense of Australia is extremely passionate about and wants every bride to feel her very best!

 

–Why do you do a trunk 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.

 

–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 trunk show dresses to come in once I order?

The dresses will take the typical 4-6 moths to arrive. Don’t forget about alterations! Typically 3-4 months for those to be competed!!

Meagan came to us with her bridal vision wanting a classic, elegant style with a twist; and that is exactly what she ended up with.

 

 

 

Notice how she incorporated the infinity sign in her jewelry. LOVE!!

 

This Essense of Australia a-line wedding dress is the perfect combination of beaded lace and a clean, elegant top.

 

 

She cut the train off which allowed for the perfect twirling photos her photographer caught!

 

Such sweet tender moments were caught!!

 

 

 

Meagan’s back is a complete show stopper!!

 

 

Beautiful details!

 

 

Meagan’s bridesmaids dresses were from The Crystal Bride as well – She chose a classic Navy from Bill Levkoff

 

This picture gives us all the feels!!

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!!
