True Bride Claudia and her partner’s journey began in childhood and came full circle with a breathtaking celebration at Quinta dos Amores in Porto, Portugal. Their “Something Blue Before I Do” theme set the tone for a day filled with heartfelt moments, from arriving in a vintage light blue Chevrolet to an emotional church ceremony that left everyone in tears.
Wanting a look that was elegant yet regal with plenty of sparkle, Claudia fell in love with her Martina Liana gown at True Society in Stuttgart. Featuring intricate embroidery, a long train and just the right amount of shimmer, Martina Liana style 1718 delivered the princess-esque style she envisioned.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
We’ve known each other since kindergarten. Our paths diverged during our school years, but we reconnected at a Portuguese festival in our youth. (We’re both Portuguese). From childhood sweethearts to the altar.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY.
I had two appointments and chose the wrong dress at the first one. When I called a day later to explain my situation, True Society immediately offered me a second appointment, and I fell in love with my dream dress. I’m so happy and grateful that the team was so kind, welcoming and accommodating. True Society wants happy brides, and they definitely make sure of that!
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.
Like a princess. Lots of embroidery, sparkle—not kitschy, but classy, yet elegant. A long train.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING!
We had a church wedding. I was driven to the church in a light-blue vintage Chevrolet and escorted to the altar by my dad. Our wedding was completely themed around “Something Blue Before I Do.” It was a dream wedding. After the emotional ceremony in the church (and yes, my husband cried when he saw me walk in, as did my dad and I), we went to a stunning venue that speaks for itself.
Congratulations Claudia and Dani!
