“I got it actually from a retailer here in Los Angeles—I’m not sure if I want to say—it’s actually a Maggie Sottero dress. I knew the look [I wanted] because I’m very petite. And a lot of these wedding gowns are extremely heavy. And they are a lot of fabric. When I wear too much fabric it tends to over take me and I look like a girl popping out of a cake. So I kind of knew what type of look I could pull off, and I started on my journey. When I found it, it was actually by another designer. I took a picture of it to this boutique, and I asked the boutique owner if she could find me something similar; the bottom of the dress is what I was wanted but the top wasn’t quite what I wanted. She found a dress by Maggie Sottero, and it was almost exactly what I wanted. It was actually what I showed her except the top is want I wanted it to be.”Did you know that was the dress right away? “I definitely had to go through that process. They showed it to me, and I still had a little skeptical look, so I said let me see what it will look like on me. But I tried it on and then we proceeded accessorizing. And that was when I started to hear the bells, ‘Oh my God,I’m going to be a bride.’”SOURCE OF THIS STORY
