What an amazing Saturday we had! We spent the afternoon with bride-to-be Justine as she tried on designer Matthew Christopher wedding dresses at Starlet Bridal in Santa Rosa. I met up with Justine and her fiance Mike at their house before their appointment. They fixed mimosas and let me play with their brand new little kitten before we ventured a few blocks to the bridal store. As a single lady, I’m embarrassed to say it was my first experience in one, but Starlet is absolutely beautiful. The owners and staff as well as the designer were all very warm and welcoming. Matthew Christopher made a personal appearance at a trunk show and gave each of the girls there his undivided attention. Justine’s mom and sister and I had a lot of fun watching her try on different dresses, but when she put on one in particular, it was clear that it was the one!
She had several to choose from from Matthew Christopher’s new 2011 line, but ended up going with the Dahlia. All the dresses were exquisitely designed, elegant and classy, and some with a touch of edginess. I told Matthew when (and if!) I get married, I know who I’ll be turning to for my dress!
For those of you girls who don’t have your dress yet, consider hiring a photographer to go meet you for an hour or two while you try some on! It might help you with your decision as it helps to see how your dress is photographed to know how truly stunning you are going to look on your wedding day. Plus, it’s SO much fun!
