Real Bride, Alena

Like we said, Alena truly was made for this dress! It was such a pleasure getting to know her.

Dress: Portia by Jenny Yoo

"I got my dress from you guys last October. I was starting to get worried, as every dress I tried on felt like there was something missing. It also didn't help that I didn't really enjoy dress shopping as much as I wanted to. While I am definitely smaller, it was hard seeing dresses that looked incredible on their models that ended up looking frumpy on me. I found insecurities that I didn't even know I had.


When I tried on Portia by Jenny Yoo, I could tell it was special. It had the soft, classic, and romantic elements I was looking for. I ended up leaving without her, but I knew she was the one when I kept comparing other dresses to her. I also loved that I wouldn't have to wait 8 months for it to get delivered! So despite it coming in a bridal 10 and myself being a street size 4, I bought it because I knew she had potential!

Your team was instrumental in helping my wedding look come together. In every alterations appointment, your whole team hyped me up, gave advice when asked, and was so helpful in creating a safe space. I'll never forget when one of your team told me "I don't even know you, but I know that this dress is so you." 

My dress was perfect. I didn't expect it, but I was almost sad I had to take it off when changing into my second dress for dancing.  I am so looking forward to picking up my dress once the cleaning & preservation process is finished! "
