Real Brides: Alexa

We met in high school — I was a freshman and he was a junior — and we’ve been together for 10 years now. 

I first saw this Val Stefani wedding dress on Instagram and instantly fell in love, so I had to track down the store that carried it. I tried on many dresses at other boutiques before finally getting the chance to try her on, and the moment I did, I just knew. I felt genuinely happy and excited — it was the most beautiful and unique dress I had ever seen. I wanted to be different and stand out on my wedding day, and this dress made that possible.
