An Ideal Sunny Day for a November Wedding

We got married on November 15, 2019. We lucked out with a cold and sunny day, which set the mood for the entire day. We spent the day getting pampered and prepared with our bridal party and even having our beloved dog, Belle, join us for some pre-wedding photos. Everyone in the bridal party was smiling as we took pictures at a nearby park on the Ohio River, overlooking the Cincinnati skyline. All the planning came together perfectly as we said “I Do” at New Riff Distillery, surrounded by our closest friends and family. All 7, yes 7, flower girls and ring bearers made it down the aisle (mostly running, ha!), and we were married by a close friend. The reception was full of dancing in a beautiful candle-lit scene at New Riff Distillery. The day was our version of a fairytale, and all of the pieces came together wonderfully. All of our love was reflected in every detail and on the faces of our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!

In January, I came to Bridal and Formal to find my dress, right at the peak of the wedding dress shopping season. My consultant was Bobbi. Although the store was bustling, I felt like I was treated as if I was the only customer there by Bobbi. She listened to my ideas on my dream wedding gown and gave her advice and opinions. I had my mom, sisters, and two other bridesmaids with me to help shop, and we all set out to find one dress. I tried on six dresses, and I ended up choosing the very first one! I narrowed it down to my top 2 choices and tried them on again. My entourage and Bobbi all gave positive and helpful feedback. The manager stopped by to check on me and also handed her feedback. In the end, I chose the dress that was perfect “for me.” I was thrilled when it came with a coordinating veil and hairpiece.
Bobbi was terrific. She was such a positive and helpful consultant. Bobbi listened to my ideas on what I was looking for and asked
additional questions so Bobbi could help me find something that fit my body and my view. When I was trying on dresses, she offered positive and helpful feedback, which was pivotal in choosing the right dress for me. Overall, my experience was smooth and straightforward from start to finish. Thank you for the expertise and process from everyone at Bridal and Formal.
