Mike and I met years ago briefly when we were both members at the Spoke Club. At that time we had mutual friends and were sometimes at the same events. 6 years later we reconnected on Hinge during COVID and actually lived across the road from each other. We started as friends but slowly evolved into more. In October 2021, 3 weeks after it started evolving Mike was heading to LA for vacation and asked if I wanted to meet him there... in 48 hours! COVID test in hand I decided to go and we have been together ever since!
Mike and I use to live at Queens Quay and Sherbourne. We walked past your location many times and when we got engaged I booked the appointment
I did not want anything traditional or white. I was looking for something more hollywood glam but with a bridal feel. Having the detachable skirt was perfect because it gave me the bridal look for the ceremony but I was able to take it off for a more hollywood look for the reception.
The first appointment was great but I did not say yes to the dress. The sales associate was patient and understood it was only my 2nd store so I was not ready to make a decision. After going to a few stores and seeing different things I liked about each dress, I went back to Chic to see if this one dress that I really liked could be tweaked to customize it to how I wanted it. Noor was fantastic and was able to help me create my vision and really customize the dress to work with my body type. She also had the brilliant idea to add the skirt so I could have both looks.
Since we did a lot of customizing of the dress I will be honest I was nervous because I did not know how the end product would look. When I tried it for the first time I knew I found one! The color was perfect and it fit like a glove!
I would 1000% recommend friends to Chic Bridals!
