In today’s world, there are so many ways you can shop wedding dresses – from online retailers to bridal salons, it is possible to find “the one.” But there are many pieces to consider before ever stepping foot into a bridal salon or clicking purchase online.

She has a wealth of wisdom and experience when it comes to wedding dress shopping. We know you will learn a thing or two through this conversation!
