Our beautiful bride, Ruth, entered our Arizona bridal store looking for one particular wedding gown – an off the shoulder ballgown wedding dress – that had caught her eye. “I fell in love with my dress on Instagram first, then texted you guys I wanted it,” she emailed us, “Ronnie had me try on 2 dresses before putting me in her, but I knew the moment I saw her on Instagram, she was mine.”



Ruth’s dream wedding dress? A full lace ballgown with off-the-shoulder detail. The romantic, Chantilly lace underlay perfectly complimented the 3D lace appliques that decorate the bodice and hem. Topping the whole off the shoulder ballgown wedding dress look off with a tiara and a delicate veil, Ruth’s wedding look was nothing short of picture-perfect.


Ruth and Kendell were married at Colby Falls in Gilbert, Arizona, on January 17, 2022. “It was the only venue we saw because we fell in love with the waterfall,” she wrote us, “and the glass windows in the indoor area would let us catch the sunset.” Their intimate wedding was filled with personal touches, every unique and special detail was focused on them. From her personalized tennis shoes to the fun photobooth during the reception, the entire night was filled with everything Ruth and Kendall.


“I really wanted our wedding to feel like me and Kendall,” she said, “a bunch of happy and carefreeness.”


With their first dance being framed with indoor sparklers, Ruth and Kendall celebrated being husband and wife with smiles all around. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Lopez and thank you for allowing Strut to be part of your special day!
