The perfect combination of glitz and glam, real bride, Christine’s wedding in The Stotesbury Mansion to Michael was a vintage affair with a hint of gold! We love seeing a beautiful bride in love – especially when she’s looking amazing in our sleek and simple mermaid wedding dress with long sleeves from Ida Torez Collection. Cheers to this sweet duo!

Q: Any advice or tips for future Mrs.?
Do whatever makes you happy, and stay true to your vision.
Q: What was the inspiration behind your wedding theme?
I found the venue to be reminiscent of the Prohibition Era, and it had a vintage glam feeling, so the venue actually inspired me. It was fun to think about what life would have been like a decade ago when the mansion was booming with luxury parties and events. I just went with the vintage feeling and added some gold flair.
Q: Tell us your love story! Where & How did he propose?
Michael and I met at a running group in Philadelphia in 2015. We ran as partners and made friendly conversation on a regular basis, and a few weeks later he asked me out on a date. I said yes and we have been together since. Just like any other couple, we like to go out and party, but we spend a lot more time together doing Netflix and chill. On December 21st, 2018, Michael surprised me on a Netflix and chill night, and asked me to marry him in our home. It was a total shock and it was fitting because it was just us and our dogs. We made our family ‘official’ that day!
Q: How would you define the message “Dare to Love”?
Love takes courage, so daring to love means putting yourself out there without fear of failure or rejection.
Q: What was the best/most memorable part of the day?
The best part of the day was listening to my sister’s Maid of Honor speech – she crushed it! She had the whole party rolling!
Q: What did you love most about your #CocoMelody dress (es)?
I loved that I found a unique dress that I had never seen before. It was tough to find a long sleeve dress that I liked in stores, and I wanted one that felt a little vintage as well. I found all of those things in the wedding dress I purchased from CocoMelody. The train was also stunning.
Q: What do you think about CocoMelody and the customer service?
I loved my experience with CocoMelody and will urge others to shop their site!
