Bernadette

Wedding Date: June 21, 2025

Venue: Ellis Preserve Ballroom

Photographer: To Love and Dancing

Experience as a Van Cleve Bride: 
I had been to one other dress shop prior to going to Van Cleve, which helped me find the dress I ultimately chose, but I was unable to actually pick out dresses myself which left me weary. When I went to Van Cleve, Caroline helped me try on some more dresses and let me go through the store and pick one out. Van Cleve happened to have the same dress I tried on at the first shop, and Caroline gave me the confidence I needed in my decision and also helped with my veil choice too. The biggest thing though, was that Van Cleve generously gave me partially custom sizing which made my dress fit like a glove and not need any alterations in the waist. I can’t tell you how many people told me it was the prettiest dress they’ve seen, that the fit was unreal, and how it got prettier every time they saw it.
