Eddy K Bride Alina in Dreams style Selena

Favourite dress feature: The train, if I had to only mention one thing. But honestly everything about this dress was perfect. I absolutely feel like it was made just for me.

Store: Laura & Leigh Bridal in Cherry Hill, NJ

Photographer: Junior Cruz Weddings

Hair & Makeup: Stylist at Majestic Elegance

Ceremony & Reception: Majestic Elegance in Costa Mujeres, Mexico

Wedding Theme: Timeless, romantic. Mostly all white with some gold accents for decor.

When the stylist at the store asked me what I pictured and wanted, I described to her that I want something romantic and elegant but also a bit flirty, and that I’m thinking I want a big train. She pointed me in a direction of where “I might find what I’m looking for”. I picked 5 dresses, all that looked similar in style. BUT, when I put the Selena dress (my 4th dress on), and walked out to show my mom, the song “can’t stop falling in love” by Haley Reinhart was playing, we locked eyes and both just started shedding tears. I just knew at that moment this was it. I didn’t come here for a dress, I promised myself I wouldn’t buy a dress that is 230 miles away from my house, but there I was, buying the dress. I knew this dress had to be mine and that song had to be the one I walk down the aisle to. I bought the dress, I had to come back and get fitted and such each time but it was worth it. The dress fit me like a glove! All I had to do for alterations was get buttons along the train. I felt like this dress was truly made for me. It made me feel beautiful, sexy, confident, and yet still like a princess stodgy out of a fairy-tale too. I absolutely love my wedding dress! I even got the matching veil. – Alina
