Beautiful dresses

I went to a couple of locations and this place has one of the prettiest wedding dresses that I've seen. They are also very affordable!

Elegance By Roya Saved My Wedding

I'll start with my mistakes, because they're epic; don't do what I did. If you're anything like me, you work at least 60 hours a week, and online solutions to planning your wedding feel like about what you can manage. I was there. I have the additional handicap that I really, really do not know how to Girl, and neither do any of my female friends. That's true of everything from hair to clothes to weddings. So, being busy and not remotely knowing how to go about getting a wedding dress live from people in a boutique, I ordered a wedding dress, custom, from a California dressmaker. Done, right? I can check the box and move on? Nope. Disaster. It arrived a couple of weeks before the wedding, and it was...orange. There is just no other word for this color. And since everything else about the wedding is rose gold, or dusty rose, or desert rose, or...well, you get it. Even if I don't know how to Girl, I know that orange bridal gown plus rose-clad bridesmaids is bad. I spent a day or two thinking maybe I could live with it. I tried it on one more time and looked at myself in the mirror, and I realized just how violently I hated that dress, and how awful I looked. Panic began to set in. I took a day off (unheard of) and went around to a bunch of local bridal boutiques, and came up empty at the end of the first day. I took another day off (seriously unheard of). It wasn't until I got to Elegance by Roya in Alexandria that afternoon that I started finding dresses I honestly loved, and someone who got me to slow down and give up the desperate 'beggars can't be choosers, I just need something that fits and isn't orange' mindset, in favor of a dress that was the answer to a dream. Within a week, this dress was customized, tailored, ready, and gorgeous. These people are absolutely amazing, and know how to work with you calmly and effectively in what's basically a rolling crisis. Thank you, brilliant lifesaving people!
