Strut Bride Khristie L. in Allure Bridal Wedding Dress 8700

We hear all the time from Phoenix area brides that they dread shopping for a plus size wedding gown because they didn't think they'd be able to try on the samples in the wedding dress store. So they shopped o-line. Then when their wedding dress arrived they were a bit disappointed. Sometimes it's a quality issue; sometimes the fit isn't quite right… So they do a little research and find Strut. And then we help them find a new plus size bridal dress. Their perfect dress.

This was the case for Strut bride Khristie. She found a pretty dress online. It had the perfect blue to match her wedding color. It could even incorporate her snowflake theme with an added broach. But it didn't wow her. And it didn't show off her new shape after she lost weight.

So we tried some different styles on her, including a very fitted mermaid wedding gown by Allure Bridals. And when she put it on, she said, "Wow!" Here it is:

 
This is a satin wedding gown that features ruching all throughout the bodice. Allure Bridals 8700 has beaded detail at the top of  the bodice and in the flowers. The three tiered skirt bottom and train are detachable, making this a convertible wedding gown. The short dress is a perfect reception or going-away dress!

 
Here is Khristie with her bridesmaids. She was married at the Sanctuary golf resort, which provided a stunning background for her wedding ceremony!

 
We love the pearls she had added to the center of her roses–how pretty! And the sparkly picks add a little bling for her sparkly snowflake theme. Check out her head table:

 
We love how Khristie pared her mermaid wedding gown with a long veil. The beading on the veil really show against the grass.

Thanks, Khristie, for sharing your photos (by Jared Harriet) with us. We love seeing photos of real brides in their wedding gowns!  Best wishes to you both.
