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!!

 

 

 

 

 

Yay! Congrats to the newly weds!!

 

 

Her twirls were PERFECT!!

 

 

 

Looks like such a fun time! We wish you both all the best as you take on married life! Congratulations!!!!

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!!

Melissa first came to our store with a particular vision.  She loved the beautiful big, ballgowns and tons of sparkle! When we found this Essense of Australia organza ballgown, it was truly love at first sight.  Style D2031 had the perfect dropped waist to highlight her shape and beaded detail to leave us completely awe struck!

Melissa & Jake celebrated their love at Eagle Brook Country Club in Geneva, IL – the perfect backdrop for this princess!!

 

 

Melissa was a dream to work with! She was always so kind and generous! It felt as if she was a part of The Crystal Bride team!

 

She wanted to give a personal shout out to the breathtaking floral designs that were created for her by Paragon Flowers in St Charles, IL. They made her vision “bloom” into reality!!

 

 

Fittings were always a breeze as her dress came in fitting like a dream.  She added her finger tip, beaded Maritza’s Bridal Veil and she was ready for her walk down the aisle.

 

We truly wish you and Jake the most wonderful and happy marriage.  You deserve the best!

 

 

“I cannot thank Crystal Bride enough for making me feel so beautiful on my big day. From day one, up to wedding day, they were always there for me. My dress turned out to be perfect and they made this whole dress shopping process flawless. Huge shout out to all the staff that made this day possible for me. I was one happy bride thanks to them 😊” – Melissa (Oko) Bauer
