From matching on Bumble to building a life together, True Bride Stephanie and her now-husband Andy share an endlessly romantic love story, accentuated by their stunning vineyard wedding in Yarra Valley, Melbourne.
Drawn to True Society for a last-minute dress, True Bride Stephanie found Stella York Style 7591 to wear at her dream-come-true wedding, making her special day even more magical!
STEPHANIE TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
Andy and I met online through Bumble, and I was instantly drawn to his warm and genuine demeanor. He is kind, funny, and really easy to be around.
Our proposal was a dream! Andy popped the question on the balcony of our hotel in Paris. It was just the two of us and I couldn’t stop smiling or crying.
When I walked down the aisle, Andy had tears in his eyes, and he couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful I looked. Seeing him like that made the day feel even more special.
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY
A week before my wedding, the dress that I was supposed to wear was completely unwearable. The measurements and alterations came back incorrect and the dress didn’t fit, so I had to start looking for a new one fast. Thankfully, my bridesmaid discovered True Society in Fitzroy, and the next morning I found my dream dress!
Looking for a last-minute dress wasn’t easy, and emotions were high. However, the calming presence of True Society drew me in, with welcoming and supportive staff who knew exactly what I needed.
Within minutes, we found Stella York Style 7591, and it brought me to tears. The fit-and-flare hugged my body in just the right way that accentuated my curves, and the fabric sparkled under the spotlights like the bridal gods were personally approving it! Choosing a veil and overskirt was a process made simple with the talented staff, matching my vision of the ideal dress.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
Andy and I’s wedding was personal to us and reflected how we fell in love. It was intimate, meaningful, and SO romantic! Our venue in the Vines of the Yarra Valley was adorned with white roses, fairy lights, a DJ and a live guitarist.
Surrounded by our families at the ceremony, my little brother walking me down the aisle to my husband-to-be, I felt as if we were in our own world, where anything was possible if we wanted it to be. Later, fireworks lit up the night during our first dance, and we dedicated our flower toss to my mother and mother-in-law in a moment that touched all our hearts! Everything felt completely true to us, and as we stepped into our wedding car, flowers in hand, it felt dream-like, and unforgettable.
