Jade Couture Mother of the Bride Dresses K2284

January 21, 2011 is going to be a Love Celebration. My fiancé and I have been together for almost 5 years and on that day we will be getting married in Hastings, MN. With less than three months until the wedding there are lots of little things that need to get done. When I start to feel overwhelmed I start signing “feel the love celebration” to the tune of Bob Sinclar’s Love Generation and remind myself that all I want is everyone on the wedding day to celebrate love. I remind myself that we have the basics, a church, reception venue with food & alcohol and DJ, and that Liane from Hyacinth Events will make it look beautiful. The little details don’t matter because we have all we need to celebrate love. I also remind myself that Noelle from Fishtale Photography will make sure I laugh and will also make sure that everyone that gets their picture taken will have a good time. After I think about all of that, I then start to think about how badly I want to put on my dress. My dress is perfect to me, it is an A line, raw silk dress with buttons all the way down the back and a beautiful train. It is has beautiful details on the front that make me feel like a Winter Princess. It is a Mori Lee dress that only The Wedding Shoppe sold when I bought it last January. The staff at The Wedding Shoppe were kind enough to let me come back three times to try the dress on to show different friends, our photographer, Fishtale Photography, and my family friend that is doing the alterations. I had to make sure it was going to be perfect in every way. It feels like I spent more time making sure the dress was perfect than I spent making the decision that my fiancé was the one, I knew that right away. The best part about the dress is that I get to wear it twice. I am originally from Washington State and we will be having a reception there as well after we get back from our honeymoon. People often ask if I will be wearing my dress at that reception and I calmingly say of course while trying not to scream yes and I can’t wait to wear my dress twice! I recently went home to Washington and four of my seven bridesmaids came with me to celebrate two bridal showers and a bachelorette party that my bridesmaids and family from Washington had planned. I don’t know how I got so blessed to have such wonderful bridesmaids and family! I also feel very lucky to have the support and love of all of the wonderful people that attended these events. My mom and I say it takes a village to raise a child and the people that have been invited to the showers and are invited to the wedding are mine & my fiancé’s “village” that shaped us to be the people that we are today. I cannot wait to celebrate love with our villages!

My husband and I were married May 24, 2008. I chose to purchase both my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses from your store. I live in Madison WI and most of my bridesmaids also live in WI. I chose your store by chance because I needed to get fitted for another wedding that I was in and thought that since I was there, I might as well look at some dresses. Your service was amazing. The sales associate asked what style I was looking for and then looked me up and down and knew which dress I was going to choose. She was dead on. I fell in love with the dress, purchased it, and although I found my bridesmaid dresses at another store, decided to order them through you. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect. Everyone looked amazing and felt great! You have an wonderful store filled with fantastic employees. Thank you again. I am always sure to recommend The Wedding Shoppe to any bride looking for advice! So far 3 of my friends have purchased either their wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, or both from your store!
