YOU MEET:<\/strong><br \/>\nWe met online on a dating website<br \/>\n<strong>THE PROPOSAL:<\/strong><br \/>\nHe proposed at the peak of<a

\/>\n<strong>THE THEME:<\/strong><br \/>\nA Rustic seaside theme<br \/>\n<strong>MOST MAGICAL MOMENT:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I emerged from the leafy paths of <a

beautiful piece of beach all to ourselves.<br \/>\n<strong>THE DRESS:<\/strong><br \/>\nI felt that Sanyukta Shrestha wedding dress was the one as I felt beautifully light and I couldn\u2019t stop stroking the fabric. I was so proud to be wearing a bespoke dress that was not only an eco-gown, but was also a dress I\u2019d played a part in designing. On the day I felt so unique but elegant.<br \/>\n<strong>FAIRTRADE:<\/strong><br \/>\nI was aware of eco-friendly clothing but had never invested in it. I knew I didn\u2019t want the typical fussy wedding dress that felt heavy and artificial, but I didn\u2019t know it was possible to find an eco-bridal gown until I met Sanyukta at a wedding fair. Now, I am proud to tell everyone that I went against the norm and bought a dress that was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanyuktashrestha.com\/about\/our-story\/made-with-ethics\/\"><strong>ethically made in Nepal<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>YOUR ADVISE FOR OTHER BRIDES:<br \/>\nGive yourself plenty of time and space to window shop and think about how you want to look, and importantly, feel. Don\u2019t feel pressured into looking a certain way. It\u2019s about finding the dress that works for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE:<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2013 Something old \u2013 a necklace my nanny wore on her wedding day in 1946. Something new \u2013 my Tori Burch sandals (perfect for a beach wedding). Something borrowed \u2013 a pocket mirror my sister used on her wedding day.
