Melissa looked remarkable and flawless in her Stella York dress! Her gown was a beautiful soft beaded fit and flare with a unique back. Classic and timeless lace with a twist.

Melissa & Jon’s expressions say it all! They are beaming with joy and you can almost feel the excitement coming from them!

Melissa’s gown was adorned with soft, delicate beading from top to bottom. The extended cage train was perfectly on trend, giving her trip down the aisle drama & awe. The lace pattern and fit on her Stella York wedding dress could not have fit her personality better.

Melissa & Jon had a beautiful and natural wedding at The Danada House in Wheaton IL. Her neutral palate complimented the beautiful organic style of her venue and personal style in the most perfect way.

Her bridesmaids were all in Sorella Vita dresses – her maids of honor were adorned in beautiful bronze nouveau sparkle, while the rest of the party wore rosewood.

Congratulations to Melissa & Jon! You made for a handsome couple and truly wish you both all the best as you take these next beautiful steps together.

Amanda and Joseph got married at The Haight in Elgin, IL. She wore a gorgeous long sleeve a-line with a textured skirt by Essense of Australia. Her unique gown had an open v-neckline with ivory lace and a moscato colored under layer.

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.
Her joy really shined through on her big day!
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!

The Crystal Bride is so excited to announce this highly exclusive collection! We are the first in Illinois to showcase these beautiful gowns for this week only! We will have these gowns from Friday, April 12th until Saturday April 20th, 2019.

FAQ:

–What is a preview show?

A showcase of the newest bridal gowns from one particular designer. These styles have not technically hit the market just yet, so photos are a no-no. However, you are able to try these styles on and if you end up selecting a dress, you are always able to order it. At times some of these styles don’t ever go into production, so there is a slight chance you could have a one of a kind gown!

–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.

–Why do you do a preview 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.

–Why can’t we take pictures?

Because these styles potentially could never hit the market, the styles need to remain private. The designers ask that we respect their visions and would love if you did as well. However, if you do decide to purchase that day, photos are more than welcome!!

–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 preview show dresses to come in once I order?

The dresses have not officially gone into production, so they do take the full 6 months to arrive. Alterations are still an average 3-4 months to complete, so please make sure you have enough time to complete the process.

Please give the store a call to schedule your appointment! We couldn’t be more excited!!
