Thank you to the Wedding Shoppe for all your help with my wedding dress. It looked beautiful on my wedding day.

Hi, my name is Christy Hollingsworth, (married name is now Christy Strom, but I’m still getting used to that!) and I married my Aaron on September 25, 2010. I call him “my Aaron” because I have a sister who is also named Erin and because no one ever knows who I am talking about I differentiate between the two by “my Aaron” and “sister Aaron”. I purchased my dress a little over a year before our wedding date. I had found it in a magazine and called all over MN to find a store that had it on stock and no one did. I’ve heard the reputation that the Wedding Shoppe has and really wanted to do business with there so after trying on a few dresses to no avail, I brought in the picture of the one I had found in the magazine. They found a similar dress by the same designer so I was able to see if the shape and look worked for me and after a lot of thinking, I ordered the dress without even trying it on. I loved the picture so much so I just prayed I would love it on me as well! It came in and it magically fit me the way I had hoped. I didn’t really think too much about the dress after that until I was being fitted because I wasn’t too thrilled with the way the bustle looked. It seemed to take away the look of the dress because the train wasn’t very long to begin with and with the bustle it looked like a straight up and down dress with no flare at the bottom. I decided not to bustle it because of that, but I admit I was a little worried that I wasn’t as in love with the dress as I was to begin with. All of that changed though on the wedding day, putting everything together from the shoes to the jewelry to the veil, it was PERFECT. I have never felt more beautiful in my life! I wore my dress with pride that day and think I love it even more now than I did in the beginning. I had so many compliments on how it suited ME and my personality so I think I can say I know myself pretty darn well to be able to order my wedding dress without even trying it on! We had a fabulous celebration and the look on Aaron’s face when we first saw each other is something I will never forget. His tears of happiness and love will forever be a favorite memory of our wedding day. Thank you very much for your wedding guidance and to the custom fitting team in helping my dress fit me perfectly!
Sincerely,
Christy Strom

I had many fine ladies tell me to come to the Wedding Shoppe, I was even told that Carolyn should help me find "the one". Carolyn was not able to help, but Savannah is who I was given instead. She was AMAZING!!! She was able to help me find the dress that I love, and was funny and honest, while I searched!!
Thank you so much for the help!!!
