Dreaming of the Dress

By Nicole Davis Weddings have grown more about the couple – their personality, their likes, their traditions. When it comes to wedding dresses, nothing is off limits. A bride can ex- press their own personal style in many ways, with differ- ent colors, sizes, lace, buttons and so much more. “A lot of people come in with a specific idea of what they like but that usually isn’t what they walk out with, because the dress they had in mind doesn’t fit with their body type,” said Jessica Limeberry, owner of Sophia’s Bridal & Tux, 7015 U.S. Hwy. 31, Indianapolis. “We spend a lot of time getting to know the bride, getting to know what they like and we try to pull all of that togeth- er. We try on a lot of dresses and see which piece of each dress they like and we try to find a dress that incorpo- rates all of those things.” Limeberry said it’s important to remain open-minded when choosing a wedding dress, be willing to try on a lot of dresses and don’t be afraid to say you don’t like it. “It definitely helps to look at pictures, but a lot of it is just being willing to go with what you love versus the picture in your mind,” Limeberry said. “Our consultants work with our bride one-on-one. Most appointments last an hour and a half, so it’s very hands-on one-on- one attention. We are dedicated to customer service and helping the brides find what they want.”

It makes specific spaces in the reception hall pop.

He says his biggest (Ride will be a shared ride if 5 or less in the same party) piece of advice is not to focus on “the stuff, meaning the types of speakers they have, how new the equipment is, how big the lights are, how many songs they have.” The main focus should be about the connection with that DJ. Ask what makes them different from anyone else. “(Couples) realize it’s more than pushing a play button,” Wade says. “They want somebody whose personality is appropriate and will be able to capture who they are. Your DJ is your voice through the reception. It’s great to see more and more brides take the approach of not necessar- ily ‘how much are you,’ but ‘how long have you been in the industry?’” Wade says he has been told guests will remember three things more than anything else – the Visit dinner, the cake and the DJ or entertainment. If the happy couple skimps on one of those three MidwestBalloonRides.com facets, guests will remember.
