I wanted something totally different from the typical wedding dress. I went to over several bridal boutiques, I tried it all ball gown, mermaid, lace, strapless, nothing felt right. Finally, I went to Bridals By Cyndi and found my Mikaella! I originally tried on style #2061 it was almost right but with a winter wedding I had my heart set on a long sleeve gown. Cyndi told me style #2105 was on its way to the store and I had to come back and try it. Cyndi pulled the Mikaella book to show it to me, my future sister in law saw it and scream "LAUR THIS IS IT!". A week later my mother, my future mother in law, my future sister in law, and my self went back for me to try on THE DRESS, we all cried. I made one minor change and had the jeweled belt wrap all the way around my waist and mee tat the buttons in the back. My dress was the backbone of my wedding! I felt timeless and elegant every single guest could not say enough about my gown. I hope that one day my dress will be able to be passed down to my daughter. Thank you for my dream gown!
