Maryanne & Ryan

“I cried when I put it on — I felt truly beautiful.”

That’s how our gorgeous bride knew she had found the dress. Timeless, elegant, and perfectly fitted, it was everything she had imagined and more. In today’s Real Bride feature, we’re sharing her journey — from the moment she stepped into the boutique to the unforgettable day she said “I do.”

How would you describe your Mirka Bridal Couture experience?

My experience at Mirka was lovely. It was a nice setting and Mirka was really helpful in pulling out dresses and I never felt rushed.

When did you know you had found the dress for you?

I loved the fit of my dress and I cried when I put it on as I felt beautiful wearing it.

Did you end up choosing a dress in the style you thought you were going to go for or was it something completely different?

The dress was roughly what I had imagined. I wanted something quite timeless and fitted.

What was your biggest wedding inspiration?

I never really had an inspiration for my wedding except I knew I wanted red to represent love. I thought it was import I chose things I liked instead of sticking to an exact theme.

Finally, do you have any advice for future brides visiting Mirka Bridal Couture?

When choosing a dress go with how you feel wearing it, not what you think you should look like. Try on loads of different styles and take your time.
