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!!

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!
