Real Bride Story: Giselle and Sebastian’s Forrest Wedding

Stunning real bride Giselle is wearing WA8203.

How did you find you dream dress?

“My dress, OMG my dress. I went to several stores in Sydney thinking they knew better or prices were more competitive but nothing. I ended up going to a very well known store in Central Coast; Final Touch. I can't recommend them enough! Nicole, my dress consultant, really knows what she is doing and made me feel like a princess the whole process. On my second appointment I was ready to buy one dress (also part of the collection of White April) but my friend found my dress at the very last moment, tried it on and it was magic - it was the dress for me.

Everyone has asked about my dress, it is not very common and the "veil" on my waist was the perfect addition to my final look!"

How did you meet your partner?

“I'm from Chile and I love to travel. One of my travels took me to Australia in 2015, where I came for a working visa. Towards the end of my trip I met Sebastian, half Greek half Australian in a local club in Central Coast. After a few periods of a long distance relationship, I finally settled in Australia in 2018. I never thought about getting married! My goals in life were very different (more career oriented) but when Sebastian proposed to me, I didn't think twice! I travelled half of the world  and ended up meeting the love of my life on the other side of the planet.”

What advice would you give to future brides?

“My best advice to the future brides is RELAX!! This is a day for you and your partner, as long you both have fun, everything else will be perfect! If something goes wrong, take a deep breath, find a solution and keep on! Follow your instincts and never stop sharing your concerns with your partner, at the end, a wedding is the perfect example of planning a life together. Make sure you plan everything ahead, have a plan b and have a wedding folder, If you are organised, your life will be less stressful."
