Our Brides
Jennifer and Luke
Tell us how you felt before your first appointment to try on gowns…
Excited to try on lots of lovely dresses and find my dress! And intrigued to see what lots of different styles would look like on me; I was very open to trying on lots of different dresses on.
On arriving at Y.A.P Bridal Boutique what were your initial thoughts…
Beautiful boutique and a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. The girls were all so friendly and welcoming. Everything was very professional but not intimidating and I felt in very safe hands.
Your Style Ideas…
I thought I wanted a fitted and lace dress – And I had more of an idea of what I definitely didn’t want than what I actually wanted! My big day was a very rustic, outdoor wedding so I knew that I needed something that would fit that style, possibly something a bit vintage looking.
Your Consultation to Finding the One…
Louise was the first bridal stylist that I met and she really knew what she was doing. The initial consultation was very thorough and I was able to talk through everything I wanted with her. Louise asked lots of questions and listened carefully, taking everything I said on board.
Tell us about your bridal stylist and the ‘You Are Precious’ service you received…
Over my various appointments I saw Louise, Danni and Jo. All of the team at Y.A.P were so kind and I felt comfortable asking for their advice and opinion on not only my dress, but my shoes, veil, accessories and bridesmaid dresses. They were so helpful and honest, I really appreciated that – when planning a wedding you need people you can trust for good feedback!
How did you feel when you found your dream gown & how did you know it was ‘The One’…
I was shocked at first, because my dress was the opposite of what I had been imagining. One of my three bridesmaids, Nichola, picked it out for me and I didn’t initially love it on the hanger! When I put my dress on and showed the girls, their reaction made me realise it was the one! I just couldn’t believe it was me in the mirror, I felt like I was looking at a different person. I honestly never thought I could look so lovely! It was really overwhelming.
Talk to us about your overall Y.A.P Bridal Journey…
From beginning to end I felt in safe hands and knew I could trust all the girls at Y.A.P with my bridal journey. It is obviously a really busy boutique because they are the best and they have so many customers – however the whole process from choosing the dress to picking it up before the wedding is very smooth. The girls explain everything to you and you always know what’s going on.
Picture a beautiful marquee setting, lost in scenic views over rolling hills and a tranquil reservoir… this was the setting for the lovely Jennifer and Luke’s special day. The pair decided on a humanist ceremony and their day was relaxed and rustic with a touch of vintage chic. Their guests stayed for the weekend and all helped with the planning and setup of the wedding which really gave their day the personal touch. Jennifer wore Maggie Sottero and looked so stunning.
