Jesus Peiro 6000 wedding dress

I chose the Jesus Peiro 6000. FUN FACT! Seeing the dress on the MB website is what drove me to make enquiries. When I got to the chapel, I was so overwhelmed by wedding dress shopping so I had completely forgotten about the dress. Corinne took one look at me and asked if I would do her a favour and try on a dress she just feels would look stunning on me. So she brought out the dress and before even wearing it, I just knew it was my wedding dress. I had initially wanted a mermaid silhouette but I am SO happy with my choice.

I love how modern and clean cut the design is, the massive bow is the perfect touch of whimsical I just knew I wanted. I love the neckline and the pockets, I needed absolutely no undergarments with this dress, the MB team ensured it was tailored to PERFECTION and I will be forever grateful.

Wearing it on the day was UNREAL! I didn't realise how special the dress was until I saw the reactions on people's faces. They were all in awe. I felt so beautiful and elegant, I was very body conscious at first because I hadn't reached my goal weight (due to all the stress eating from the wedding planning stress) so I was a little nervous, but the entire day was such an amazing outpouring of love and joy and I have never felt more beautiful.

A special thank you to Corinne and Emma and the rest of the fantastic Miss Bush team! The Chapel will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

Dress Shopping

My mom and brother came with me to find the dress, I tried on about 4 dresses and my very impatient brother was reaching his limit, then I tried on the dress and his face lit up and he literally said "This is it, we are done looking". Then we face-timed the rest of the family and it was settled!

What was your favourite part of the dress shopping experience? The team was AMAZING! I just loved the energy in the room, I felt so well taken care of, like I was the only bride in the room, and there were 2 others in the Chapel that day.

Styling

I knew I wanted all the attention on the dress, I had initially played with the idea of a top bun and was almost settled on it but then 2 weeks to the wedding, I parted my hair in two and twisted each side then packed it into a low-bun. My mom saw me and said "this is how you should do your hair on your wedding day" and it was settled. I also went ahead to use fresh orchids in my hair, I just loved the idea of fresh flowers in my hair, since it was a garden wedding. For jewellery I kept it very minimal, my mom and I found the most stunning pearl earrings and I paired them with her tennis bracelet as my something borrowed. I had initially gotten a pair of Jimmy Choo's as wedding shoes, but we started looking for block heels a month to the wedding since it was going to be a garden wedding. I remember seeing a pair of shoes at Miss Bush and they reminded me so much of my mom's wedding shoes, plus they were block heels so it was a no brainer really.

Inspiration

I was inspired by Princess Margret and Grace Kelly's bridal looks, I wanted to look effortlessly regal and elegant, I wanted my make up to be really simple and dewy, I remember telling Dodos my make up artist to make me look like the best version of myself.

The best bits

The first dance, we danced to Differences by Genuine and then Sweetest Taboo by Sade. Pure Magic!

Feyi's Advice

Honestly, do not stress, the right dress will always find its way to you and please love the skin you're in! Do not stress on fad diets, just aim to be your happiest regardless of what happens on the day or even before.
