Real Bride Alexis wears Fiona by Esty Style

When Alexis strolled into The Veil Collective, she was a fresh face in the wedding scene—zero marathon shopping, just two boutiques under her belt, and a spontaneous Google search that led her straight to TVC’s doorstep. As a self-proclaimed “simple girl,” she was drawn to a style that was as effortless as it was true to herself: No glitter, no lace, no floral applique—just a design that felt effortlessly her. Alexis wasn’t here for a Cinderella ballgown moment; she was here for something that didn’t need a single sparkle to shine.

The excitement took off during her consultation with Jess C, where Alexis felt a spark of anticipation as she explored her options. But the true showstopper? Fiona by Esty Style—a gown she hadn’t even noticed on the rack. Somehow, it found her, like a meet-cute waiting to happen!

Trying on Fiona was like a scene from a rom-com: Alexis felt her heart skip a beat as she slipped into the gown, friends swooning at first sight. Still, she wasn’t quite ready to say 'yes,' so a few other dresses made an appearance. But Fiona was unforgettable. When she finally tried her on again, emotions hit like a tidal wave, tears streaming as she knew—she’d found the one.

Fiona captivates with her one-shoulder silhouette and elegantly ribboned drapery, featuring expertly crafted gathering at the bust and a striking asymmetric open back. This slimline design, made from sumptuous satin, gracefully hugs the body and flows into a skirt adorned with meticulous feature seams, embodying modernity and class. 

On her wedding day, Alexis radiated confidence, feeling like the truest version of herself. Compliments poured in from friends, family, and social media, making her feel like an absolute queen!

For brides still on the hunt, Alexis has a golden nugget of wisdom: patience is key. After binge-watching Say Yes to the Dress, she was certain that magical moment would come. And when Fiona finally made its grand entrance, it was nothing short of love at first sight!

Of course, no journey is without its bumps. Alexis had her share of concerns along the way, but being surrounded by her favourite people worked wonders in calming her nerves. The right support can make all the difference, proving that with a little patience and the perfect dress, any bride can have her fairytale moment.
