I had such an amazing and memorable time picking out my wedding dress at The White Magnolia in Tampa! All my wedding planning was being done in the peak of the pandemic, and being from Canada, neither my family or friends could travel to be with me during my appointment except my mom. I struggled with the fact my sisters and best friends couldn’t also be there, but we were able to set up a huge zoom with everyone to watch me find my dream dress. The girls at The White Magnolia were so easy and helpful, they completely changed my attitude about my appointment the second we walked in. It was hard to be upset when I saw all the gorgeous dresses they had pre-selected for me waiting in my room. My eyes immediately went to this stunning Zavana dress that was the first one I tried on, and the last. We went through and tried on every style but my heart knew right away that first dress would be the one I walked down the aisle in. After trying it on again, I turned on my zoom audio to hear everyone agreeing that it was the perfect dress for me! TWM girls were also so accommodating to alterations I wanted to make in creating the truly perfect dress for me. I wish I could wear it every day!
