What was your experience at Casa de Novia?

 I tried on dresses at many bridal boutiques and the service at Casa de Novia far exceeded any others. Luvi and her staff are so sweet and do everything to ensure a great experience. They even served champagne when my mom and mother-in-law came to a fitting!

Your Love story

Scott & I met thru mutual friends at a ranch. He guided me on my first buck and we quickly started dating! Scott introduced me to a whole new world of hunting and fishing. We spend a lot of time in Port O'Connor at his family's bay house. One afternoon in late summer, we went out on his poling skiff, stopped by the beach, and then cruised to a secluded lagoon for happy hour. As I turned around from admiring the sunset, Scott was holding the open ring box and proposed! The proposal was perfectly us. (We later used his seafoam poling skiff as an outdoor bar at our wedding reception!)
