‘I feel like I’m going to get emotional just writing this because my dress makes me that happy. I can perfectly remember the girls at Lovely Atlanta bringing my dress out for me to try on. The bold, floral neckline was gorgeous, and before I even I put it on I knew it was going to be mine. As soon as she zipped me up, I cried. It took my breath away. I felt amazing. All of the gowns I had tried on that day had been beautiful, but this dress made me feel like a bride. I felt like the most elevated, beautiful version of myself. I wore it all day at my wedding, I didn’t want to change! My gown meant so much to me, and Lovely Bride gave me the best experience.’
