Tell us about your experience at Wonderland Bridal: At Wonderland Bridal, I had an experience that completely exceeded my expectations. I initially visited just to explore which silhouette would suit me best and help me narrow down my wedding dress search. I never imagined that the very first dress I tried on would be the one. Accompanied by my mom and sister, we shared a lot of ideas about the kind of dress I was looking for, none of which turned out to match my dress! Then, our amazing Bridal Stylist, Alex, asked about the style and location of our wedding. Based on this, she pulled a dress that she thought would not only complement my look but also suit the venue and theme. That dress turned out to be the first one I tried on, and from the moment I stepped into it, I was in love. Although I tried on several more dresses, none of them compared to the first. I ended up slipping back into that first dress, and when I did, I was overwhelmed with emotion, it was the one. Alex had such a keen instinct for knowing exactly what I was looking for, and I’m so grateful for her expertise in helping me find my dream dress.

Tell us about your wedding!: Jose proposed at the Grand Floridian, so it was an easy choice to get married there. It truly felt like the perfect place to celebrate our love. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical. We had a Beauty and the Beast themed brunch wedding at the Grand Floridian, allowing us to enjoy the entire day with our loved ones. We danced non-stop throughout the celebration, creating memories that will last a lifetime. To make the day even more special, we hosted a Dessert Party at Epcot that evening, complete with delicious treats and a stunning fireworks display. After the fireworks, the wedding party and guests made our way to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure for an unforgettable ride. It was such a joy to share this experience with our family and friends. A special part of our day was that my mom and I DIY'd everything from the flower wall and photobooth to the Candelabra centerpieces and menu, except for my bouquet which was created by Disney, adding our personal touch to every detail. The following day, we had the incredible opportunity to take photos at Magic Kingdom with the Disney Fine Arts Photography before the park opened, and the pictures we captured were absolutely breathtaking! It was two years of planning and learning but it was all so worth it. It was a dream come true.❤️
