Featured Lily Bride: Amy
/
Our recent Lily Bride, Amy stunned wearing a gown by designer Martina Liana for her Fall 2020 nuptials! One AHH-Mazing feature of this designer is that they can accommodate amazing customizations of their gowns. If you can dream it up, there’s a good chance these amazing designers can make your vision come to life. Amy came in to our shop looking for a long sleeve wedding dress, and ended up completely customizing a beaded lace sleeve onto an existing Martina Liana bridal gown style. We asked Amy to give us a little insight into her bridal shopping experience and being a #lilybride. Check out what she had to say!
1. How was your experience at Lily Saratoga overall?
I went to several different bridal salons in the Capital Region and Lily Saratoga was by far the best. From booking my first appointment to finally picking up my wedding gown the staff at Lily's were friendly, super responsive and knowledgeable. I can not say enough good times about Lily. I would recommend this place to any bride in the area.
2. Explain your experience with creating a custom design from Martina Liana.
Creating a custom design from Martina Liana was surprisingly an easy experience. Once deciding on a design, Lily staff took care of everything else.
3. Did you feel comfortable trusting us to create your vision? Did you know you wanted a long sleeve gown?
It has always been my dream to have a long sleeve wedding gown but I had a hard time finding one that I loved. I was beginning to lose hope and moved to looking at different style dresses. I tried on the Martina 895 and loved the dress but something was missing. Once I was informed that Martina would add a custom sleeve, I knew that was the dress for me. Laura pulled out some other Martina long sleeve gowns so we would get an idea of what customization I wanted. Once I decided on a design, Laura drew a photo of the customization and sent it to Martina for me. The process was so easy and I trusted Laura's experience and knowledge to guide me in the front direction.
