Set at The Palace at Somerset Park, Valerie + Brian’s fairytale wedding was in full effect! Jewel encrusted bouquet, a Pnina Tornai diamond white ball gown with signature corset design and genuine Swarovski crystals…embellished white floral arrangements with hanging crystals against a backdrop of lavender drapery and a purple glow. Wow! It is no wonder Valerie felt like a princess on her special day. But do not be mistaken, today’s featured bride is no shrinking violet either; Valerie’s statement gown weighs a full 25 pounds (…of absolute glamor!). I fully agree with Valerie as she points out, ‘You will have a one of a kind beautiful gown and get a million and one compliments the day of your wedding!’.
Valerie + Brian | June 22, 2012 | The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset, NJ
The Ceremony
Our ceremony was traditional but non-traditional at the same time. We did have a Christian ceremony however not in a church but rather on a beautiful rooftop at the Palace. It was so peaceful and beautiful; it felt like we were floating on clouds while getting married!
The Reception
Beautiful white flowers surrounded the reception, the elegance of bling with a purple glow around the room. It was just perfect for us and everything I imagined. The venue was absolutely amazing!
Valerie’s Dress Search
I am the type of person that likes to try all different types of fashion…however I am traditional at heart and so is my husband. When it came to a wedding dress I was looking at all different styles and the two I landed on were ball gown and trumpet. My husband kind of hinted that he really liked the traditional bridal type gowns so as I was trying on a few gowns I did have that in the back of my mind. As soon as I tried on a ball gown style I knew that was the style for me.
How Valerie Felt in Her Wedding Dress
I felt like a princess, stunning and elegant in my dress.
Why Valerie Decided to Sell Her Wedding Dress
I have decided to sell my dress because the wedding was costly however I can’t imagine this dress sitting in a bag somewhere in a closet, it is just toooo beautiful! I would love for someone else to be able to feel just as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I felt like a real princess!
