Real Brides: Laura

My husband and I met at a piano bar 13 years ago while we were studying in college. Our mutual friend introduced us, and the rest is history!

When I set out to find my dress, I had only one dress in mind: "Soprano" from your sister company Val Stefani. Unfortunately, it wasn't stocked in the United Kingdom. I visited several boutiques (some multiple times!), but none of them matched my dream dress or other Moonlight/Val Stefani dresses I'd seen online. I realized I needed to try on some Val Stefani/Moonlight dresses, so I found my nearest stockist (over an hour away) and noticed they had a Moonlight Trunk Show scheduled for the upcoming weekend - I knew I had to attend! That's where I fell in love with H1463. When I tried it on, I knew it was special and exactly what I was looking for, apart from a few minor details. The boutique owner, Emma, informed me that Moonlight offers customizations, and I could make the changes I desired. That was the moment I knew everything had fallen into place, and my dream dress was coming to life. I made a few changes to perfect it: I dropped the neckline to a plunge, added thicker straps (to match T111), added sparkle to the top layer of tulle, and extended the train lining. My customized H1463 was the exact dress I had dreamed of, and I'm thrilled to have worn a dress that was precisely what I wanted.
