Why Becky Chose Sofia Cruz

Becky visited wed2b’s Glasgow store twice, first with her mum and aunt and the second time with friends. It was on this visit that she made a beeline for the Sofia Cruz dress that had caught her eye.

“They had the exact dress I had been wanting to try,” she says. “I wasn’t sure  it was the right size but it zipped up perfectly and it was exactly the right length. I'm 6ft 2in, so above average height, and most other dresses I’d tried on were too short. However, slim, elegant Alber was clearly made for me. It was simple, modern and, best of all, it had pockets!”

Teasha’s styling shows how these gowns can adapt beautifully to both minimalist and statement wedding themes. "Our wedding was on a veranda with a stunning sea view,” she says. “Everything about the day was more than we could have imagined. The theme was minimalist black and white, as I just wanted a really classic look.”

Tables were decorated with vases holding single white roses, black napkins with a pearl napkin holders and bows on the champagne glasses with guests' names on them. “My favourite moment of the day was walking into the welcome drinks as husband and wife and the floor sparklers going off. My wedding day vision just came to life.”
