The Crystal Bride is excited to announce we are open by appointment!

Please carefully read our guidelines below to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our brides and staff:

We are available by appointment and ask that each shopping appointment has no more than 4 guests

If you feel ill or have traveled in the past two weeks, we ask that you reschedule your appointment

  We are happy to reschedule any appointments to ensure the safety and health of our brides and staff. Please let us know if you or anyone you have been in close contact with has been ill. 

For their safety, no children under the age of 12 

   We love your little ones, but for the time being, it is safest if they stay at home. 

Bridal shopping appointments will begin with a Pinterest Board preview. Gowns will be selected off the racks by your stylist

Prior to your appointment, we will email a registration form to you. Your stylist will call to walk you through our shopping process. You can preview our live inventory on Pinterest @CrystalBrideOfficial. To protect our guests at this time, the stylist will pull the dresses for you. 

We have missed our brides dearly. We appreciate the love and support we have received from you all as we navigated these unprecedented times. Our staff looks forward to getting back to what we love and helping our brides.

Please reach out to book your appointment with us by calling 630-397-5040 or click here!

Sarah and Paul got married at the gorgeous Greenhouse Lofts in Chicago IL. It can be a difficult feat to get such a beautiful and calming feel in the city of Chicago but that is exactly what Sarah and Paul were able to accomplish. The setting was a perfect natural backdrop for this gorgeous couple.

Sarah wore a beautiful sheath style wedding dress by Essense of Australia [Style number D2533] This dress has amazingly intricate lace that shaped her body perfectly. Crepe material keeping with her understated but classic style. The spaghetti straps on her dress were a perfect compliment to the sexy open back Sarah was sporting.

It is all about natural neutrals this season. Beautiful neutrals make for a classic and timeless look that you will look back on a swoon over for years to come. Sarah did a remarkable job keeping a consistent theme across all platforms from florals, decor and attire.

Her bridesmaids wore mix and match styles by Sorella Vita in matching evergreen chiffon. Each style complemented each bridesmaids style in a unique and beautiful way.

It’s easy to get caught up in the details of the day, but you can tell Sarah & Paul really cherished every moment. The ceremony is one time during your big day to really focus on your relationship, where the next steps are taking you and how grateful you are to be at this point with your partner. Don’t forget to reflect on those details that day.

Congratulations to Sarah & Paul! We wish you both all the happiness in the world and truly hope the happiness you felt on your big day, shines through in your marriage. Thank you for choosing to be a #CrystalBrideForever!

Check out a few of the gorgeous photos Amanda shared with us!

You can really see the amazing texture and detail of her gown in the light.

Such a beautiful ceremony!
The Happy Newlyweds! The gorgeous florals were completed by Eden Wedding & Events in St. Charles – The owner Jordan Clare captured the stunning natural feel Amanda was seeking!
We have serious flower crown envy over here – Amanda’s gorgeous natural curls were the perfect platform for the boho inspired crown.

Congratulations Amanda & Joseph. We wish you both all the best as you take this next step together and man and wife. You make a beautiful couple and we can only imagine the memories you share from your big day!
