Now for a message from Cassandra and then the amazing pictures to follow.

Dearest Este and Nicola, 
3 months down the line, I find myself in Bloemfontein, happily married and wishing it could all begin again! 
 When I came to your store, I was not sure what I was looking for in a dress. My bridesmaids where of little helped as they loved everything that I tried on! :) I had a vague image in my mind of a soft, romantic, fairy like wedding. I wanted to be outside, relaxed but with a hint of formality (my husband is an Airforce pilot and was to be married in uniform). I love lace and flowers and all things pretty. My wedding, I knew, was going to be laid back but with very unique touches that reflected me and my fiance. Now I just needed the dress to match my scattered ideas! 
I must have tried on every dress the could and could not fit. But it was the last one, that truly made me smile. When I think back now, it was the last dress obviously because it was "the one" but it was the last of the choices I had to try on. And it was two sizes too big. It was soft and romantic and totally me. It had just a tiny bit of a sparkle, a touch of lace and lots and lots of WOW!
And it suited me to a tee! 
Nicola and Este, thank you for being so accommodating, I changed my mind a few times on things I wanted done to the dress but in the end it was perfect as is. I think my dress rounded off my wedding perfectly and it is one of the best reminders of that special day. I can't wait till I have a room big enough to hang it from the wall. That way I can see it everyday, and remember the special time leading up to my wedding, and the entire day I got to be in it. 
You are two very special ladies, and I can only hope each and every bride feels as special as I did. Your new studio looks amazing, I will have to get remarried in order to spend more time there! :p
The pics really don't do the dress justice, but I hope they can try. 
Best of luck for the future and everyday be a testament to your successes. 
 








Kind regards,
Cassandra
