When was your wedding date?
April 23rd, 2016.
What was your wedding location and venue name?
The Surfcomber Hotel, South Beach in Miami, FL
Who is the designer of your gown and where did you purchase it?
I purchased the Sareh Nouri-designed dress from A Little Something White in Darien, CT.
When did you know that your gown was “the one”?
The first time A Little Something White (Kim) showed me an image of the dress….. They did not have it yet at the bridal shop, but as soon as I saw the picture I fell in love… and purchased the dress as soon as it came in.
What is your absolute favorite memory from your wedding day?
Hard to pinpoint just one…. Our wedding was so intimate (48 of our closest family and friends) that we were able to be ourselves and have a blast the entire time… they say the bride and groom never enjoy their wedding as much as the guests… That was 100% not the case for us— it is now 6 months later and we still reminisce about how much fun we had… we literally danced so much that we forgot to eat our wedding cake!
Why did you want to get your gown cleaned and preserved?
I wanted to preserve my investment so that whatever it is I decide, I know my dress will be in amazing condition.
What made your wedding ceremony feel extra special?
Being surrounded by our closest family and friends in an oasis of tropical goodness!
Why did you decide to get your gown cleaned by a member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists?
My best friend referred me to you guys! She knows me and knows I seek the best quality.
