Rebecca and Dan 's Wedding At All Smiles Amazing Sorrento | Level Up to Love
Rebecca and Dan met six years ago in an online game, teaming up almost every night, laughing and supporting each other in every match. Over time, their friendship grew as they shared stories and victories, learning more about each other beyond the screen. One day, Dan finally confessed his feelings, and to his joy, Rebecca felt the same. It was a small, meaningful moment that changed everything, turning their friendship into something deeper and more special.
THE WEDDING VENUE
Rebecca and Dan took a unique approach to wedding planning! They’d had the ring for over a year, not initially knowing it would become the engagement ring. They even started touring venues and planning key wedding details before the actual proposal. Once they secured their venue, they had just about 5.5 months to pull everything together, from the dress to all the final touches. It was a fast-paced, unconventional journey that made the planning even more exciting!
Rebecca and Dan chose All Smiles Sorrento for their wedding reception, drawn in by its stunning view overlooking the Bass Strait. The breathtaking scenery made them fall in love with the venue at first sight. However, it was the venue’s friendly, down-to-earth staff that truly sealed the deal. Their warmth and attentiveness added to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that made the day even more special. The on-site catering was a highlight as well, with delicious food that left every guest satisfied and happy. The combination of a beautiful setting, wonderful staff, and fantastic food made All Smiles Sorrento the perfect place for Rebecca and Dan to celebrate their big day.
WEDDING PREPARATION AND FINDING THE DREAM WEDDING GOWN
Before shopping for her wedding dress, Rebecca didn’t have a clear, exact idea but knew she wanted something with princess fairytale fantasy vibes. She envisioned a dress inspired by Cinderella, Elsa, and Queen Tatiana of the fairies. Her dream dress would have flowing lines, soft material with some poof, and a touch of sparkle. She also wanted to incorporate natural elements like floral or leafy motifs to make it feel truly magical.
BRIDAL GOWN SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH BELLA E LA BESTIA BRIDAL
Rebecca came across Bella E La Bestia Bridal when one of her bridesmaids suggested it. After Rebecca described the kind of dress she envisioned, her bridesmaid recommended the shop, which turned out to be the perfect place to find a dress that matched her fairytale-inspired vision.
Rebecca had a fantastic dress shopping experience at Bella E La Bestia Bridal (BELB). From the moment she walked in, the sales lady was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient, making her feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. The staff listened carefully to her preferences and offered thoughtful suggestions, ensuring she felt at ease while trying on dresses. Rebecca absolutely loved all the gowns at BELB, as they were exactly what she had in mind. The variety of beautiful, unique styles made the experience even more enjoyable. Her only regret was not having enough time to try on more of the stunning dresses, but overall, it was a memorable and positive experience that helped her find the perfect gown for her wedding day.
Rebecca did not end up with the exact dress she initially had in mind, but she was thrilled with the final choice. Although she had envisioned a certain style, her dress required some alterations to bring her vision to life. After trying on another dress that featured an off-the-shoulder design, she initially wanted a similar look. However, with the help of her talented seamstress, the final design turned out perfectly, incorporating her vision while adding unique details. Rebecca credits her bridesmaid for having a clearer vision and recognizing that this particular dress was the one that truly suited her. Ultimately, the combination of alterations and guidance led her to the perfect gown for her wedding day.
THE FAVOURITE MOMENT
Rebecca's favorite moment on her wedding day was hard to pinpoint because there were so many perfect moments. She felt incredibly blessed to have had such a beautiful day, especially with the amazing weather. The photos turned out exactly as she had hoped, making everything feel like a dream come true.
As for how she felt in her wedding dress, Rebecca described it perfectly—she felt like a princess, as though she had just walked into her very own fairytale.
dress shopping tips that REBECCA would like to share with other brides-to-be
Rebecca has some great dress shopping advice for brides-to-be! First, she recommends looking on Pinterest and Instagram to gather inspiration and ideas, but she emphasizes the importance of staying flexible. Don’t lock yourself into one specific look or image. Sometimes, what you think you want may not be what ends up being the perfect fit.
She also suggests trying on a wide variety of dresses, even those you might not initially consider. Styles can look very different once you try them on, and certain designs may surprise you when they’re on your body.
Lastly, Rebecca reminds brides-to-be to enjoy the process! Dress shopping is an exciting experience, and trying on different styles is a fun part of the journey. Keeping an open mind will allow you to find the dress that truly feels right for you.
