Really, really, newly married

We certainly don’t expect this of ‘our brides’, but it sure is a delight when they write to us after the wedding and share some of the joy!  Jordana is very literally a newlywed, and we’re so flattered that she thought of us and forwarded this beautiful note:
I had my wedding this past  weekend (on Sunday August 2) and didn’t want to forget to send you all some pictures and my thanks.
I LOVED my dress and received so many compliments! Pom did a great job reconstructing it to make it fit perfectly. It was so beautiful!
I felt so incredibly special in this stunning dress that I have because of the great work you guys do. Your dedication to the Brides Project and volunteering to help women find the perfect wedding dress all the while raising awareness and money for cancer research is truly wonderful.
It was a beautiful feeling to know that the proceeds for my wedding dress go to cancer research. There are so many people in our lives impacted by cancer. It was nice to do a little bit at this happy and exciting time to help fight this awful disease in the hopes that everyone has many more happy times to celebrate.
Thanks for helping make my special day extra special.

Congratulations Jordana, you look stunning and we hope you had a fabulous day… to be followed with a lifetime of health and happiness with your hubby 🙂

One of our own…

It’s so exciting when we get to celebrate the wedding of one of our own volunteers, and follow her through the process of planning from the engagement until the big day!  And of course, there are benefits of being on the crew here, and one of the many, many, many great things is that you see all the new arrivals and get to snap up that perfect dress before it hits the racks.

Robyn was kind enough to let us share a couple of shots from her wedding day, and needless to say, she looks absolutely stunning.  Here’s a photo of her reading the lovely letter that came with the dress, written by the original owner.  She has included this letter with one of her own for the next lucky bride 🙂

On behalf of the entire staff here at The Brides’ Project, we would like to wish Robyn and her handsome hubby Orr a fabulous and exciting journey as they move to NYC to start the next chapter in their lives together.  We’re going to miss her terribly.  She touched the hearts of all our crew in addition to oodles of lucky brides who she helped in the shop.  Thank You Robyn, not only for the hours upon hours that you spent helping us fight cancer, but for being your amazing self.  WE LOVE YOU!  xoxo
