How did you know your Mira Zwillinger dress was ‘the one’?
I truly felt like the most beautiful version of myself when I put it on, without having to try at all. It was the dress that I kept coming back to. Although all of my family and friends wanted me to choose Mira’s Jaida dress, I could not stop thinking about Joy!
What was most important to you when choosing your wedding gown – and why?
I wanted my gown to feel like an extension of myself and my venue. The Joy gown was the perfect mix of elegance with a beachy flair, yet at the same time it was incredibly unique, especially with the matching scarf!
How did you feel when you tried on your Mira Zwillinger gown for the first time — after it was custom-made to your exact measurements?
It was honestly a surreal experience. I had spent so long dreaming about what it would look like that once the day finally came I couldn’t believe it. The gown truly exceeded every single expectation I could have had for my wedding dress.
What’s one thing you learned during the process of finding your gown — that you’d love future brides to know?
Try to focus on what dress makes you feel the most beautiful and the most like yourself. It is okay if that is not the one that everyone else likes best!
What are 3 tips you’d give to any bride planning her big day?
- Love your rain backup plan as much as you love plan A
- Hire vendors that you absolutely love to spend time with
- Enjoy every little moment along the way because it will be over before you know it
If you had matching accessories (like a veil or topper), how did they enhance your bridal look and bring your vision to life?
The scarf I wore made the entire look in my opinion. At first, I was hesitant to do something that felt so different, but I am so glad that I did! I also am still obsessed with the plain veil I wore from Mira. The flower detail on the hair comb portion of the veil is something I will never stop obsessing over.
Looking back, is there one mistake you made during the planning process — and what would you recommend future brides to avoid?
Do not get caught up in what everyone else thinks. Your wedding day is about you and your partner!
