"We had a short turn around from engagement to wedding. I only had 4 months to find a dress. Luv Bridal was only the second salon I went to and they had an incredible selection of sample sale dresses. The moment I put this dress on I knew it was the one. There wasn’t a dry eye in the fitting room. I was ready to pay and pack up, but then my stylist Shae pulled out a surprise and handed me a bouquet then had me walk from the front of the salon to the back. Little did I know that there were mirrors in front of me, so I was able to envision myself walking down the aisle. The moment was so special and I knew this was the dress!"

"Our wedding took place in Gaslamp (downtown) San Diego. It was in a historic building with exposed brick, wood floors, and the most magical market lights. We wanted the wedding to feel normal, intimate, and fun! We didn’t want it to feel like a staged photo shoot. We cut out some things that didn’t feel us and incorporated other things that were us! The dress fit in so perfectly with the whole vibe. I loved the removable sleeves of my dress, taking them off made it feel like a second dress for the reception! The subtle versatility was so fun!"

"Trust your stylist! Be honest about your vision for the day, don’t over think it, stay true to what you want, and tune out the other voices in your head"
