Storybook Endings: Real Fairytale Endings For Our Storybook Brides
Hey, Storybook fam! It’s been awhile, but we’re back on the blog today with Gracie and Dylan’s journey to “I Do!” From their heartwarming proposal to their enchanting wedding day, their story is a true testament to love and partnership. Here’s just a small glimpse into their beautiful story…
Gracie was having a normal day working at school when something unexpected happened. After going home for a quick lunch, Gracie returned to her kindergarten classroom to find all of her students lined up in the hallway. This was out of the ordinary, but things started to “click” when the first student approached Gracie with a flower. As avid fans of The Office, Gracie immediately knew this was about to be a memorable moment. One by one, each student handed Gracie a flower, which led her to her boyfriend, Dylan, waiting on one knee on the classroom carpet. The proposal was unique and personal, and it will forever be a cherished memory that her students got to be a part of.
When it came time to search for the perfect wedding dress, Gracie was diligent in her search, not wanting to commit to a dress that wasn’t THE ONE. Before coming to Storybook Ending, she visited four other salons, but she couldn’t shake the thought that A Storybook Ending was going to have her gown. Gracie arrived at her appointment with a clear vision of what she wanted—an all-silk, strapless ball gown with a slit. During her appointment, she tried on a few different styles, and she ended up falling in love with one that was completely different than what she initially imagined. As she put on that fit & flare dress with lace detailing, she immediately knew. Unbridled joy and emotion flooded over her and she couldn’t stop smiling. She had finally found THE dress. Throughout her time at Storybook, her expert consultant, Christi, provided a supportive and enjoyable experience as she helped Gracie find her dream dress. When asked to share about her experience at A Storybook Ending, Gracie shared, “The entire team made my entire bridal experience so meaningful. Even though they helped so many brides, they always made me feel special when I was in the salon. I especially want to give credit to Christi, though. She has a different level of kindness that she treats each of her brides with and it is really amazing.”
Leading up to her wedding day, Gracie’s mind would race thinking of her to-do list and all the things that could go wrong; however, when the day finally arrived, Gracie was relaxed and maintained a sense of calm. She and her bridesmaids had the best time getting ready together, and she will forever cherish the intimate father-daughter moments as she waited to walk down the aisle with her dad. The ceremony was tender and filled with love, and their reception was a lively celebration as they shared heartfelt speeches and danced the night away with their family and friends. Looking back, Gracie has one main take-away for other brides—embrace every moment. “Don’t let the worries ruin the most amazing time of your life, they truly are not worth it!”
