"We were speechless! The robe and clutch are absolutely beautiful and they’re such special pieces to us. I opened them at my bridal shower and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room."
"To be able to wear a piece of my mom after 33 years of her own marriage meant the world to me," Alex told us. "I opened the box up at my bridal shower and couldn't stop crying."
"These pieces were very special at my wedding," Cadey says. "And everyone loved how they all came from my Mom's dress."
"Sadly, my husband died four years ago. It was even more special that I was able to share my wedding dress with both our daughters and create a new beautiful memory from my marriage to their father."
"I have often wondered why I kept the dress," Donna told us. "My reason was revealed in the look on my daughter's face and the tears that followed when she unwrapped the bridal robe."
