Amelia's Bridal saved me from going into my wedding day with a dress that simply wasn't "the one". I had always believed that the moment a bride tries on her dress, she knows inst...antly that it is hers. However, I had searched high and low, never really settling on one over the other. At one point I had simply agreed upon the first dress that my family felt was "it", but it lacked something to me. Weeks later, I found myself in a complete panic, certain that I had made the wrong decision. I was short on time, completely clueless as to what I wanted, and almost positive I'd never feel "that feeling" for any dress. I entered Amelia's on a whim because I knew a lot of girls who had a great experience there. They were patient, kind, flexible, and after minutes of ranting, I showed them a single picture of a dress that I thought I might like. That was all she needed. I put my simple, elegant dress on and was overwhelmed with emotion-just like the storybooks had always promised. (I even well up with tears recounting the moment today, two weeks after the event). It was beyond anything I could have imagined, but most importantly: it was me.
Amelia's allowed my true self to shine through and welcomed it. There was not a sparkle, or a stitch of lace, but it was timeless and it was me. I will forever remember their warmth and love from the first search to the final fitting-they treated me like family. Leaving with my dress that day, I felt excited and sure, but I absolutely also noted the feeling of sadness, knowing that my time with the ABB ladies was over.
The experience at Amelia's Bridal was personal, intimate, and the way every bride deserves to be treated before the big day. I could never thank them enough, but I'm hoping this review inspires another lost bride into their incredible boutique!!
