The <a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-dress-shopping\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding dress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was a true labor of love. Picking out my wedding dress was my number one priority when planning: the hardest thing I did but the most fun part of the wedding planning process. After seeing their embroidered lace, I fell in love with the designer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reemacra.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reem Acra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Their fabrics are unique yet timeless, and I knew I wanted to be a Reem Acra bride! Having a June wedding in the Italian countryside complicated things because I knew I would be dealing with warm temperatures, but I still wanted the timeless look of long sleeves and a high neck. I also wanted the versatility of removable sleeves, and being comfortable on my wedding day was another huge priority. So we customized it. I chose the Mexico dress by Reem Acra. It had a low illusion, so I changed it to a corset. We also lined the bodice and added fabric to the cups. But the most stunning customization is the removable bolero that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dimitrasbridal.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimitra&rsquo;s Bridal Couture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made custom for me. We bought the matching fabric from the designer, and the Dimitras team handled the rest to give me my dream two dresses. I can&rsquo;t thank the teams I worked with enough, and I couldn&rsquo;t love this dress anymore. I also love that I can keep the bolero forever and wear it on anniversaries to come.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825855\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/cd\/d8\/cdd85111c8996cc3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825856\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/b8\/69\/b869e1687fc070d3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825857\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/71\/97\/719707272d96868a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825858\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/59\/31\/5931ac7291b351bf.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825859\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/f9\/c6\/f9c614b048f697fa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Heartfelt Tribute: How a Vintage Alfa Romeo Honored Their Fathers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"goldbox\"><em>We will always cherish many moments, but we loved the vintage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alfaromeo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alfa Romeo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we rented.

There was a woman in the locker room that I talked with, asking her about what services she had done. We were talking, and she asked if I had just gotten engaged. I told her that we had been engaged since June 2022, and we had gotten engaged in Italy. We were considering a wedding back in Italy. She immediately recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/chiesadelcarmine.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chiesa del Carmine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where she stayed for a family vacation.
