Sarah and Fabio were married in Italy in the summer of 2017, from which we recuperate photos of the wedding and these emotional words in which the bride relates how her experience was when choosing her dress.

The wedding day was perfect, everything was perfect, and we never felt the weight of “striking a pose”, we were natural, relaxed and infinitely taken by each other.

I met Fabio, my husband, on Linkedin. I wanted to try to sell to the company for which he worked for some services… But instead of selling him anything, he ended up making me buy a wedding dress after only 5 months of knowing each other!

Buying the dress…what a magical moment. Only when you wear it you really feel it’s yours! My experience started badly though. At first, I unfortunately chose the wrong wedding dress, the person who had assisted me was not very helpful and wanted to quickly manage my choice. It looked very good on me, but it wasn’t my dress and I realised about it especially when mine arrived in the atelier. I was desperate, resigned to wearing a dress that didn’t feel like mine. It didn’t represent me at all.

My mother, however, took matters into her own hands and decided to contact the atelier to ask for a new appointment at the main office and speak directly with the owner. They made me try on so many other clothes that didn’t make me feel the way I hoped I would feel. Until they told me: “We have a collection of really unique dresses that we would like you to try on, we feel that you are a Yolancris bride“.

I wore the first one… and I cried. I looked in the mirror and felt unique, beautiful and ready for that day! And I chose it, right away… without thinking twice about it, because for the first time I had felt on a wedding dress the same way I had felt looking into Fabio’s eyes!
