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

McKenzie’s gorgeous Essense of Australia gown- D2363, is a soft a-line with petite, beaded spaghetti straps.  It was the perfect compliment to the summer wedding at Elements at Water Street in Napeville IL.  The romantic setting was a beautiful backdrop for this classic elegant affair.

 

It was an absolute pleasure working with McKenzie and helping her piece together the perfect look for her nuptials.  Congratulations to you both and we wish you all the joy in the world as you take this next step together.

When we first met Ashley, she was so kind and sweet! She described her look as classic and elegant. She wanted something “timeless and clean.”

We tried on plenty of styles but when we finally found the dress of her dreams, it was like a movie! She didn’t want to take it off! The beautiful ballgown she chose is by W2 – Rowena.  We added an Amalee belt in Ivory and the look would not be complete without the Sandra’s Design’s “Toni Veil” – the veil is locally handmade with over 1,000 Swarovski crystals along the edge and on the veil.

Every fitting it was so exciting to see the dress get closer and closer to perfect! Ashley beamed in her gown every time she got a chance to slip it back on.

She also got her bridesmaids styles with us.  Each bridesmaid looked beautiful in the Bill Levkoff style 7016 in Petal Pink.  The feminine color is the perfect pallet for the old romantic’s Ashley & Garrett are.

Her mother, Tammy, also got her gown with us! It was almost as perfect as the bridal gown and fit right out of the box! The Cameron Blake style 116659 (or as The Crystal Brides girls have nicknamed it “The Audrey Dress”) was a classic, clean look for her daughters wedding.

We couldn’t be happier for you, Ashley! You and your husband look beyond thrilled to be together and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be a small part of your special day!
