The Liancarol Gown Newly arrived to their boutique for Spring 2011

The winners of last years $100k Dream Wedding Giveaway Connie & Thomas have been great at keeping us up to speed while planning their special day. Connie recently went to Avenia Bridal to pick out her dress & she shared the great experience she had there with us. Thanks Avenia Bridal for helping Connie find her perfect dress.

“My mother in law to be and I decided to go dress shopping and check out styles and what types of dresses I like. We went to some random wedding dress store and tried on several dresses. After trying a few one, I decided that I liked a-line, modified mermaid, and ball gowns most. The girl at the store wasn’t very helpful and sort of just let us do our own thing. She seemed to be more interested in reading her magazines. Although I tried on several dresses, I didn’t fall in love with any of them. A few days later, I called Avenia Bridal and went to their store in Provo to do some dress shopping. It was their last day in their Provo location, as they now have a new location in Orem at 228 E. University Parkway, Orem, UT 84097. I met with their owner Lisa Powelson and their designer Nancy Barrus. When I called to make my appointment with Lisa, she told me that it may be a little crazy at the store since it was going to be their last day at that location. When I showed up everything seemed like a normal business day. Everything was neat and didn’t even look like they were moving the next day! Lisa helped me pick out some dresses, and Nancy helped me to try on the dresses. They had a big selection and all different styles of dresses to choose from.

They also have a wide range of bridal accessories including floral designs, shoes, jewelry, jeweled headbands, tiaras, feathered pieces, birdcage veils and blushers for the complete all in one store! I fell in love with the second dress I tried on, I couldn’t believe it! I was so excited and tried on heels, jewelry and veils too. My mother in law to be had so much fun and it was a completely different experience from the other bridal store. Nancy actually cared about my wedding dress shopping experience and wanted everything to be perfect.

We ended up ordering that second dress I tried on (I cannot explain what it looks like nor post a photo because my fiance is not allowed to see it until my wedding day!) My dress will arrive mid April and I cannot wait! I have not decided on jewelry, shoes, or the veil just yet. I ordered the dress a size smaller than what Nancy had measured me for because I still have 10lbs of baby weight on me! Now I really have to eat better or else the dress isn’t going to fit me when it comes in! I have 2 ½ months to slim down one more dress size! Wish me luck!

Avenía created a once-in-a-lifetime bridal experience for me. And Avenia’s motto is ‘it’s more than a bridal experience; it’s the fulfillment of childhood dreams and wedding day memories shared over a lifetime with family and friends.’ ”

Thank you Avenia Bridal for helping Connie find her perfect dress & for making her wedding dress experience even better than she was hoping for. Here are a few pictures from Avenia Bridal where you can see the amazing detail & special touches that go into each of their dresses. They have an amazing selection.
