BRIDES STORIES

Our bride spotlight of the week is the beautiful Lindsay, who tied the knot with her best friend brother who turned to be the love of her life ♥ in a breathtaking ceremony by the ocean at L’Auberge Del Mar in Del Mar, CA.

Lindsay looked nothing less than amazing wearing BERTA dress style 18-12, an A- line dress with a gentle cleavage, covered with romantic floral appliqués.

On her choice, Lindsay told us: “I’ve always dreamed of having a BERTA wedding dress! I spent hours looking at BERTA dresses online. I took a trip to Del Mar to secure the venue for my wedding, and while I was there, I came across a boutique just a couple blocks from L’Auberge called The Bustle, and they had BERTA wedding dresses! It seemed so meant to be!! The entire experience was so lovely and special. When I tried on THE dress for the first time, it felt like it was made for me and I never wanted to take it off! I absolutely loved the cut, the detail, etc. and I could 100% picture myself getting married in that dress outside by the ocean. It was totally the vibe of my wedding! I immediately knew which one was the perfect dress! It was so “me” in every way and I loved everything about it. I felt like a princess and like the most beautiful bride. Even after having to postpone my wedding due to Covid, I never second guessed my decision and couldn’t have been happier with my dress!”

Lindsay completed her look with a natural wavy hair style and light make up.

And we think she looked absolutely flawless!

Our BERTA bride of the week is the breathtaking Mariam that looked nothing less than flawless wearing BERTA for her big day.

Mariam, who is currently based in NY and grow up in Hawaii tied the knot with her other half in a stunning wedding destination, at L’Auburge de Sedona in Sedona, Arizona.

Mariam chose the perfect style for such a unique beauty, 19-115, a light v cleavage dress, covered with floral appliqués and a detachable train.

According to Mariam, she contacted our NY retailer, L’Fay bridal, knowing they carry BERTA, the specific designer she was looking for and her exact words were: ” I knew it was the one once they put on the overskirt.  The dress itself was light and comfortable, feminine and delicate… It felt like a fairytale dress and I called my mom immediately on FaceTime to show her.”

Mariam completed her look with a wavy hair style and traditional jewelry from Pakistan made of pearls, rubies and emeralds set in gold. They are a family heirloom.

And we couldn’t feel more blessed to be a part of her special moment.

We just can’t control our amotions over this dreamy, Two-Person Wedding on a Hilltop Overlooking the Mountains of Malibu.

It is not a secret that every woman day-dreams on her wedding date almost her entire life, and when Candice Wilson-Olensky and former NFL player Matthew Cherry got engaged back in January 2019 she’d never imagine that it will look like this, but it turned out to be the most special, love-filled perfect wedding with zero guests in attendance.

On her big-yet-tiny day Candice chose to wear the 18-102 dress from the Seville collection, a one-of-a-kind dress covered by hand-made appliqués with a deep v cleavage signed with a delicate bow.

Candice originally saw the dress in an image promoting an upcoming trunk show with our retailer Lovella bridal, and made an appointment with her mom that flew across the country to join her.

On her dress choice Candice shared: “I tried it on and fell in love immediately. I knew instantly. I felt beautiful and timeless in it”.

Candice completed her look with an effortless and natural hair style incorporating her natural curly hair.

We are so grateful that we took part in their special moment and all is left for us it to wish the happy couple that their life will be as perfect as this day was.

Our beautiful BERTA bride of the week is Carole, who tied the knot with Paul in a 3 days wedding in France.

Carole & Paul got married at the town hall of the 7th district in Paris before taking the train to Avignon where the religious ceremony took place and they really lived 3 days of celebration, surrounded by their loved ones, including all their horses and dogs.

For the special occasion Carole chose BERTA dress style 20-107 from the Napoli F/W 2020 collection, an A-line sparkly dress, with a beautiful corset and a dramatic bottom, covered by sequins. The perfect dress to feel like a real-life Disney princess.

Carole completed her look with a big Ariana Grande style ponytail and light make up that brings out her natural beauty.

Paul could not be more amazed when he first saw Carole in her BERTA dress and his exact words were: “Quelle beauté. Ma petite princesse”.

And we just couldn’t agree more!
