Grace Loves Lace: What Happens During the Bridal Appointment?
When I walked into the showroom, Tiffani, the welcoming, attentive showroom manager, greeted me. After introductions, we sorted through the racks together, picking out styles that stood out to us. I appreciated that she selected a few designs I wouldn't have normally chosen for myself (like a two-piece set) because it takes a lot for me to step out of my sartorial comfort zone.
Once we had the gowns in place, it was time to try them on. Tiffani brought me a slip dress that I could wear in between wardrobe changes. I joked that the slip dress itself was actually so chic, I didn't need to wear anything else. Still, I ended up trying on four dresses total, all of which had their own distinct vibe.
"The Aura" gown was my favourite because of its slip dress-like shape, elegant cowl neckline, and pretty bow detailing in the back. As the sunshine poured in through those sky-high windows, it was impossible to not fall for this beauty. "Is three years too soon to consider a vow renewal ceremony?" I asked Tiffani, only half-joking.
She pointed out the accessories table, which was decked out in sparkly jewels and chic stilettos. From here, she helped me pick pieces that would complement my look without taking attention away from the dress. I especially loved these pearl-embellished anklets, which I absolutely need to snag for my personal jewellery collection.
