For True Bride Taylor, finding her wedding gown meant embracing the unexpected. What began as a search for something simple led to a beautiful surprise at True Society in Grand Rapids—where she found herself choosing a gown that felt entirely different than what she imagined, and absolutely perfect for her winter wedding vision.  

Essense of Australia Style D4182, with its intricate beading and timeless shimmer, set the tone for a December celebration filled with festive details, glowing candlelight and unforgettable moments—most of all, marrying the love of her life. 

TAYLOR, TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY.

The True Crew at True Society in Grand Rapids was amazing and so helpful! She did such a great job that I actually fell in love with TWO different dresses and had to make a difficult decision.  

DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.

The dress I chose was the complete opposite of who I am. I was going for plain and simple. And I selected Essense of Australia Style D4182, a beautiful, beaded gown that was picturesque for a winter wedding.

HOW DID YOUR PARTNER REACT WHEN HE SAW YOU IN YOUR GOWN?  

Alex was stunned and so pleasantly surprised.  

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.     

Our wedding was on December 20th, so we capitalized on Christmas decor in a simple yet tasteful way. For instance, my bridal party wore a deep red color, and we incorporated winter florals into our bouquets. Twinkle lights and simple candles set off the dazzle of beading on my gown.
