Finding Your Dream Wedding Dress
We are honoured to share with you Wedding Dress Inspiration From Real Brides who have gone through the process and would be the first to agree that the hunt for the wedding dress of your dreams is much harder than it seems and there is nothing that can quite prepare you for the actual journey of finding the one.
.
Whether you are looking for a upscale designer wedding dress or intrigued by sustainable options as a way to repurpose your wedding dress after the big day is past. In real life, whatever those goals may be, the journey will be nothing like you imagined or could plan for.
.
With so much to learn and with time ticking by, what began as a fairy-tale dream becomes a task-oriented process and you turning into a self-obsessed monster with endless months ticking of meetings with everyone involved in order to have a memorable wedding day.
.
But where better to start than to gather wedding dress inspiration from brides and observe how they turned the challenge into a dreamy magazine worthy wedding day sparked full of glamour and style.
.
Here we bring to you a collection of Cynthia Grafton-Holt Brides who chose the Custom Wedding Dress Designer Experience to make all their dreams come true.

Words Of Wisdom For Wedding Dress Inspiration From Real Brides
If you find yourself at that point of the journey and you are feeling like you’ve exhausted every option and you still cannot find a wedding dress that you love, don’t blame it all on the shop assistant – just realise and accept you have different standards and that you want more for yourself and that’s OK.

Wisdom From Real Life Brides
“the most difficult part of my journey was trying to be me. None of the dresses I tried fitted me at all. Meeting Cynthia and learning about the possibilities open to me was a life saver and a game chagner too as I thought I was never going to find a dress for my wedding day. We didnt really have a budget as I had no idea what wedding dresses would cost but, it was worth it. I would just say focus on why your are getting married as it is easy to get carried away and feel overpowered by the entire process.”
“Getting ready was something I’d dreamt of for years, and seeing my now husband at the end of the aisle. He cried, which set everyone off because he never cries!” “I also loved standing back at one point and watching everyone inside whilst I was outside – it’s not often you get everyone you love in one building, so that was a very special moment for me that I’ll never forget.”
.
“This is one event that I totally panicked about. Looking back, I made myself so stressed trying to get everything right and I think that was not worth the energy or the tears. If I am to be really honest, my mum and my aunts and cousins would have loved being more involved (if I had let them) avoiding all the extra pressure I placed on myself. My advice is to let others help you and avoid trying to manage everything yourself. Also, the day goes so quickly that it is hard to really enjoy it all, so take a moment (several if you can) to spend some time together and watch from the sidelines.”
.
A few words of kindness
“I’m so sad to be complete with the process. Thank you for all you’ve done Cynthia and your consistent support, communication and involvement. I’m so so grateful. I’ll definitely write a google review as well and inform everyone I know about how wonderful my experience has been.”
