Edith Élan Bride: Nicole (Chicago, IL)

A Dream Wedding at Chevy Chase Country Club

Nicole and Dan's late summer wedding was a dream come true. The happy couple wed at the Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, IL — a suburb of Chicago. They exchanged their vows under a flower-adorned archway as family and friends watched.

Nicole + Dan

If you were to ask Nicole what her favorite part of her wedding to Dan was, she would tell you it was, "all of it!" For her, it was a day that she wished would never end. It was a dream come true!

Dan looked handsome in his three-piece, light grey suit. A boutonniere pinned to his lapel matched the flowers of Nicole's white and blush bouquet.

Nicole wore our Isolde dress, which she found when wedding dress shopping at Dame Couture. Well actually... she didn't find it. It was her sister that found the dress during her appointment! When her sister showed her the dress Nicole admits that she did not want to try it on at first, but her sister persisted. And the persistence paid off! Nicole fell in love with the dress's beautiful simplicity and figure-flattering silhouette. The dress sample at Dame Couture features a sparkling crystal trim on the back. Nicole, asked to customize the dress by requesting no trim on the back, which we gladly obliged!

For the wedding day, Nicole kept her bridal style relaxed and simple. Her hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face. Her makeup highlighted her beautiful eyes and smile. She kept her accessories minimal and focused on the important things: studded earrings, her wedding rings, and blinged out sandals! 

If we were to say this love story had a moral, it would be: Don't dismiss a wedding dress when shopping. Try it on! It may very well be the missing piece to your dream wedding.
