From high school sweethearts to a surprise Florida beach proposal, Juliet’s love story is a true fairytale, and her wedding day matched that magic perfectly at Hillside Ninety-One in Hanceville, Alabama. Though she walked into Diane’s dreaming of a sleek mermaid silhouette, she completely fell in love with a show-stopping Essense

of Australia ball gown that made her feel like a true princess. Surrounded by scenic North Central Alabama views, sweet moments with her bridesmaids, and unforgettable family surprises, it was a dream celebration from start to finish.

The Diane's Wedding DRESS!

Juliet found her perfect dress in Essense of Australia #D3245 - a beautiful oh-so-extra bridal dream! A dramatic ball gown skirt with high-volume details such as double-box pleating and layers of encrusted beadwork adds a unique textural element with seemingly endless luxury.

"My dress shopping experience was amazing! Diane’s staff was super helpful in helping me find my dream gown! I came in wanting a mermaid-style dress and left with a ball gown. It caught my eye and was the first one I tried on. It was meant to be- when I tried it on, it fit like a glove and needed little alterations. All of the other dresses I tried on after I was comparing to it! I felt like a Princess on my wedding day. My favorite parts of the dress are the color, the beading, the long dramatic train, and all of the sparkles!"

Tell us about your Love!

My husband and I started dating in high school. He proposed on the beach; my family and I had gone on vacation (he did not come with us). He and his parents drove to Florida on the day he proposed and completely surprised me during our family photos.

My Special memories from the day are getting ready with my bridesmaids and reading their sweet notes, our first look, our streamers ceremony exit, and our moms singing a (surprise) song to both of us.
