MERCEDES, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
I met my husband, Phil, via the dating app Tinder. It was more by chance, as we lived over 300 miles apart at the time and I was only passing through his area. After our first date, it was clear that he was very special. We both knew just a few months into the relationship that it would last forever.
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.
I wanted a timeless, elegant wedding dress that I would still love to look at 20 years from now. My gown, Essense of Australia Style D3631 was perfect– I felt super comfortable and not overdressed at all. It was a true reflection of me and my style.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY.
My first trip to True Society in Stuttgart was a wonderful experience. Thanks to the great advice from the True Crew bridal stylists, I surprisingly found my dream dress on the same day.
As soon as I entered the store, I felt very welcomed. My bridal stylist and the store manager took the time to fully understand my vision. Their great sense of style and professional manner guided me through an impressive selection of dresses. Every fitting was enjoyable and their friendly and patient support helped.
Thanks to their help, I found my dream dress. I am very grateful for this fantastic experience and highly recommend True Society in Stuttgart.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
My husband was very touched to see me in my dress for the first time, and we both shed a few tears. It was just the two of us when we eloped, and it was the best decision ever! It allowed us to enjoy the day together and soak up every second. We said our personal vows on the beach at sunset and it couldn’t have been more beautiful.
We decided to get married on the Baltic Sea Island of Rügen, Germany, as Phil was born there. The Ralswiek Castle was the perfect venue.
Cheers to Mercedes and Phil!
