I always knew I wanted a ball gown style dress for my wedding day. The drama of them was just too good to not have one. I first say the Elowyn dress online, but it was part of the 2026 collection and I was looking in 2025, so I just figured I wasn't going to be able to try it on or get it in time. Lucky for me, I made the appointment at Spark Bridal in Cranston, Rhode Island, the same day they were getting the collection for brides to try on! I had no idea, it was pure luck! I honestly knew it was the one the moment it went on my body; even before it was fully zipped, I knew. Also, it's really close to one of my favorite Lord of the Ring characters so it just made sense for my fantasy-ish themed wedding. I felt the most confident I have ever felt in my entire life. I truly felt like a elf princess in that gown. I never wanted to take it off.

To the brides still searching, take your time and have fun! You may find that perfect dress right away, you might not. No matter what, enjoy every moment of searching and enjoy all those little moments. - Katie, Eddy K Bride
