I was looking for a gown that was classic, slightly ethereal, and just made me feel like me. When I tried on Eloise by Eddy K I felt just like me with some extra sparkle and whimsy. I adored the off the shoulder detail and all the embroidery on the bodice. My whole family gasped when I came out and said they loved it. On my wedding day I felt comfortable, yet also the most beautiful version of myself. To the bride who is still searching for the perfect gown, go with your instinct. Trust your gut with how you feel not just about the way the dress looks, but how you feel in it. – Wanjala, Eddy K Bride


Wanjala and Brett celebrated a bright, whimsical wedding at Spruce Hill Event Center in Zumbrota, Minnesota. Wanjala wore the ELOISE gown, with off-the-shoulder detail and embroidery across the bodice. The couple's first dance was to "The Swan" by Camille Saint-Saëns.
