Yes, trying on pretty dresses and going to fashion shows is fun, but our favorite part of our job? Helping brides like you find “the one”! Here are a few of our recent #RealBrides that tied the knot and we FINALLY get to share their stories (and wedding dresses) with you!

Meet Esther

Ester met Brian while they worked together at Harris Teeter. They dated for five years before deciding to tie the knot. Brian popped the question on the beach with “Marry Me” spelled out in a custom marquee sign and a jaw-dropping rectangular engagement ring.

Esther knew that she wanted lace for her big day, and thankfully we have a ton of amazing lace options. We played with silhouettes, textures, and sleeves until we finally found it.

Esther wore an A-line lace and tulle gown with lace bishop sleeves. Her hair was swept up in an effortlessly chic updo with floral accents. Brian rocked a green velvet jacket as an adorable call back to their beach-side proposal where they both were wearing green.

Meet Rachel

Rachel and Joe had an unconventional first date, to say the least. They decided to get lost together–literally. They entered a corn maze and hours later emerged not knowing that they had just met the love of their life but knowing, without a doubt, that they wanted to do it again.

Years and countless adventures later, they knew it was the real deal and decided to make it official. It was sunset on the beach when Joe asked Rachel to marry him with a stunning brilliant-cut diamond engagement ring.

Rachel came into Savvi knowing that she wanted something timeless and simple. She wasn’t a bride who dreamed of lace and tulle, but she did want a veil, that was certain.

She fell in love with a sleeveless A-line satin gown with a stunning V-neckline. Our expert Savvi stylists paired it with the perfect rhinestone beaded sash and chapel-length veil with subtle lace accents to complete the vision.

Meet Selena

Selena met Alex when they were kids. He was in the same grade as her brother. While Alex viewed her as a “little sister” at first, eventually they both knew that there was something more. They started sneaking out to go on dates and the rest is history.

Alex asked Selena to marry him in a field of sunflowers with a princess-cut engagement ring–does it get any more adorable? And ever the princess, Selena wanted all the bridal feels when it came to her wedding dress–tulle, lace, beads, the works.

Her Savvi stylist introduced her to a sleeveless A-line tulle gown with a beaded lace bodice and tulle skirt. Needless to say, it was love at first sight. They paired it with a delicate fingertip-length veil with a beaded edge to finish the look.
