Amore Real Bride: Karen & Matt

An incredible Bridal Journey, the perfect Summer Day and a love story to last for eternity. Every wedding has its own kind of magic, and Karen and Matt’s day was one of those you simply don’t forget. From the first moments of planning to the final celebrations, their story is full of love, laughter, and thoughtful details. We were so honoured to be part of Karen’s journey when she found her dress with us, a moment we’ll always remember just as fondly as she does.

Karen & Matt said 'I Do' at the stunning Old Kent Barn, the perfect backdrop for a Summer Wedding. Starting the day off with her nearest and dearest - her Bride Tribe. Karen's Bridesmaids were dressed in the stunning Six Stories champagne dresses, and Karen of course, had her Wedding Dress ready o go.

Karen's Dress Journey is one we will always remember! First visiting us with her Bridesmaids in May 2024, we were instantly struck by her incredible personality - so full of excitement and enthusiasm, incredibly organised and beaming with joy!

After trying on a range of styles and narrowing down exactly what we were looking for, it became apparent that Karen was destined to be a Princess on her Wedding Day. The only question now was - which gown was The One? The answer came a couple of months later, after much deliberation and dreaming... Karen fell head over heels in love with her Dream Dress, the beautiful Solistice by Enzoani Blue. With its subtle sparkle, delicate lace appliques and versatile neckline, there was not a dry eye in the room when Karen found The One - including ours!

"I want to personally thank everyone on the team for all your help through saying yes to the dress, but a big THANK YOU to Lauren & Aimie, as I know I booked many appointments with them both, (they couldn't get rid of me), but thank you so much for all your help. It was the BEST experience with you both at Amore Brides, and I can't thank you enough for helping me find my perfect wedding dress!"

Whilst Karen and her Girl Squad were getting ready, so was Husband-To-Be Matt. Wearing a suit by Lemmings at the Kent Wedding Centre and spending a quiet, emotional few moments thinking of what's to come. After all of the planning, wishing and waiting... it was finally here.

For Karen, it was about to be the moment she had always dreamt of, and the same could be said for her Parents. This is the moment they had been waiting for - the First Look.

As guests arrived and began to take their seats, we can only begin to imagine how Karen and Matt felt. Karen stepped out down the aisle to her Forever Love Story, looking breathtakingly beautiful and above all, so full of joy. Moments like this reminds our team exactly why we do what we do - we feel so blessed to have been even a small part of this beautiful and special moment.

And, seriously... can we take a moment to appreciate the Dress?! Perfectly matched with a swarovski crystal veil, Karen was quite literally glowing. The most beautiful Bride!

"I had so many compliments on the day about my dress, no one had seen anything like it and it was just perfect, they all had no idea I'd be in this type of princess style dress, and I'm so glad I went for this style. I felt incredible and like a princess all day, I couldn't wait to wear this dress on the morning, I'm so happy I wore this all day and night, perfect for dancing!"

The one thing that truly shines through from Karen and Matt's Wedding Day? True joy, and True Love. The smiles on their faces from start to finish show exactly how a Bride should feel on her Big Day - confident, happy, comfortable and totally at peace. This new chapter for Karen and Matt will be their most exciting yet, and we wish nothing but unbridled joy and happiness for the rest of their lives together.

Karen - Thank you for trusting Amore Brides on your Dress Journey. Getting to know you and your Bride Tribe throughout your Bridal Era has been such a joy for us, we have loved every minute and feel blessed that you chose us to be a part of your special day. We hope you treasure these memories forever, just as we will.
