1.Bride + Groom’s Name
Alyssa Colosi and Ed Montalbano
2.When is the wedding day?
August 17th
3.How did you choose your wedding dress or bridesmaid dress?
When I went dress shopping, I had fun picking out features I liked about each dress with my lady crew (mom, sister, and two close friends), but each dress in the stores had something that distracted me from feeling elegant and confident like I wanted to for my wedding day. A dress I would feel free in would have an a-line frame, v-neck, low back, and be floor length. I needed the waist to be low but the whole dress form fitting so it would flatter my body.
4.How did you feel in your dress?
Elegant, strong, confident. So comfortable that if I wanted to jump into my husband’s arms or do a cartwheel for joy, I could.
5.What made you choose JJsHouse?
My friend found her gorgeous bridesmaid dress from JJ’s House so I landed in their online store. I simply checked boxes and was presented several dress options that would be perfect for me. Plus, it would fit well with custom sizing!
6.What was your favorite moment of that day?
Walking down the aisle with my dad. I felt honored seeing our friends and family that came to celebrate with us. My husband had a huge smile on his face watching me (he’s not a cryer) but I caught my bridesmaids wiping tears of joy from their eyes.
7.Three words to sum up the wedding day:
Our Backyard Beginning
8.What’s your best tip for dressing on the Big Day to share with other brides?
Many brides are expecting a magical moment when they try on the perfect dress. The exciting moment when you feel beautiful and you smile while you look in the mirror and forget your insecurities. That might not happen in a store, but it will when you have a dress that fits you with features that flatter your body, which was possible to do with JJ’s House and their custom sizing.
