Avenia Bridal Dress Fitting

Written by~Connie (2010′s $100k Dream Wedding Giveaway Winner)

My dress finally arrived to Avenia Bridal just a few short weeks ago! The excitement to see it in person was more then I could bear. I went to Avenia for my first dress fitting as soon as Lisa and I could schedule an available time. I was continually stressing that the dress would be far too small since I had not lost all the weight I thought was necessary. To my surprise it was not far from where we wanted it to be.

Avenia’s designer, Nancy assisted me in all the alterations we would have to make for it to be perfect! The length was right where we needed it to be, but the hips and waste had to be altered smaller (YES!).

Next came hair pieces, veils and earrings. Nancy believes in having a “complete” and complementing look to your gown. No detail can be spared. The idea is to have my dress and my face be the attention getter and to use accessories to enhance them. It took nearly an hour to narrow down my choices to just a few varying combinations. At this point I hadn’t made any final decisions on accessories yet.

A week later was my next dress fitting and consultation. The dress fits perfectly, which means I cannot gain or lose very much weight at all (this may be a bit hard haha). We were able to make a final decision about the hair piece, earrings and accessories. Nancy custom made my veil to match my dress, which was a very important piece of the puzzle.

The wedding is starting to come together. Pieces are falling in place, which is an amazing feeling being only a couple weeks away.

We would share images but Thomas (Connie’s Fiance) hasn’t seen her in her gorgeous gown yet.  We look forward to sharing images after their wedding in July.
