Dress - The Wedding Shoppe
Alterations - Bridal Elegance
I got so many compliments on my dress… not sure if people were just saying it because I was the bride and it was the right thing to do or why but when I saw this dress at The Wedding Shoppe in Berkeley, I knew it was mine to keep. My shopping experience was awesome! They were so welcoming! With the help of Bridal Elegance for alterations, my dress was made complete! Bridal Elegance made changes in a swift time frame and were so friendly and helpful!

Venue - New Vintage Place
New Vintage Place is a hidden gem! This place got so many compliments! If you are getting married and have began the search for venues, you know the struggle and headache this process can be. Finding a place that can hold your desired amount of people and still have great scenery with a reception area… it’s not always easy depending on what you are looking for. A couple years ago, Erik made the renovation video for this venue when it was in the process of becoming the beauty it is today. Back then, he said we would get married here. He was right. New Vintage Place was the perfect match for us! Schedule a tour to find out more and see if it works for you!
