Hailey’s laidback youthful bridal dress

If there’s anything more beautiful about this wedding dress than how it looks, that will be the story behind it.

Hailey had a different wedding dress that she planned to wear for her most-awaited elopement in Ireland. But just like most brides, she had a change of mind one week before they got off the plane from the US to Ireland.

Our pretty young bride here suddenly wanted to replace her original bridal dress and couldn’t imagine wearing it on her big day. So she ordered a second one from Bronx and Banco at the last minute! That time, Hailey had no idea if the new dress would fit her well or how she’d look in it. What’s clear was that there was no way she’d wear the first dress.

As you can see, this lacy bridal dress fits Hailey so perfectly, we’re more than convinced she made the right, whilst last-minute decision.
