Tell us about your dress shopping experience

My wedding dress was absolutely stunning and made just for me. It was important for me to purchase my dress from a black owned seamstress, but not go into the poor house. My now husband has always been vigilant in finding black owned vendors and companies, so he actually found Pantora Bridal who designed my dress. My experience was top tier. They were extremely professional, passionate, and eager to assist me. They provided me affordable options that fit my body type and I was so pleased with the custom details.

Wedding Day Gifts

I was gifted a diamond bracelet and earrings on my wedding day from my husband and I gifted him a Rolex watch.

Wedding Memories

My favorite memory from our wedding day was stating our vows. As I walked down the aisle, I soaked in the beauty of the decor and all of my family and friends. However when my husband and I said our vows nothing else mattered. Although we had numerous guests, I only saw him, which will be one of the most memorable moments of our lives.
