Less than ten weeks ago, Padgett walked into The Bridal Finery to find her wedding dress. I sat down to learn more about her and Greg. Instantly, I could tell this is a woman with a sophisticated style. My mind started to wonder toward the Carolina Herrera and Oscar De La Renta dresses. Within a few dress try ons she narrowed her search down to two Carolina Herrera dresses. Both suited her quite well. I pinned her hair up so she could see the full look. She went with the strapless gown providing her more flexibility to hug and dance. The other Carolina gown was beautiful on her but restricted her arms. Next came the dress fittings. Our seamstress Sarah encouraged her to wear the dress as it was designed. The dress came with a detachable skirt and can be worn several ways.
