THE DRESS
After researching online, Aly was convinced she wanted a
gown from Maggie Sottero. Fortunately for her, we carry numerous styles from
top designers, including Maggie Sottero. Our consultants worked quickly to pull
the styles that fit her description and preferences. Aly said yes to the lovely
Sandrina by Sottero & Midgley.
There are so many reasons why we love this ivory gown! Its
simple yet intricate Swiss dot lace with champagne undertones make for a
stunning selection. The delicate straps pair nicely with her beach setting and
helped make the gown comfortable. The slim A-line skirt adds allowed plenty of
movement in the breeze, while the plunging back finished her look with a
dramatic but not over-the-top touch.
Aly had initially pictured her dream dress a little
differently, but once she tried this style on, she fell in love. It ended up
being better than she could have expected. “This
style with the mid length train was perfect for the trip down the aisle outside
and then bustled up nicely so we could dance the night away”, she said.
Aly and Nic met at college in Galveston, so it was important
to them to start the next chapter in their life in the location where it all
began. The Hotel Galvez offered the setting and accommodations they wanted,
while also being a smart pick in the event of inclement weather on the coast.
Their beach elegant theme was executed by Aly’s mom and sister, both event
planners. Although the location of the wedding wasn’t on the beach, the theme
included special touches inspired by the coast. From the flower selection to
the rest of the décor and details, everything was better than the happy couple envisioned.
