You can either be bummed about rain on your wedding day, or you can choose to embrace it.

I was a little nervous to get my wedding dress online that I had never even tried on before, but I'm so glad that I did! I went with custom sizing, and as I got closer to the wedding date had it tailored and a bustle added in by a tailoring company near me. This dress was simply stunning and made me feel so beautiful. I cannot recommend Olivia Bottega gowns enough! Truly a magical experience.

I am so in love with this dress! It's even more beautiful in person! I felt like royalty when I tried it on. I am so excited to wear it on my wedding day! And it's very well made! Well worth the price! No dress anywhere can compare! Thank you to all the staff at Olivia Bottega for making such a wonderful and gorgeous dress!

After dress shopping in-person and not falling in love with anything I tried on, I went to the Internet. I didn't just search myself, but had my friends and family scouring the Internet for "the dress". I kept coming back to OliviaBottega and their beautiful, ready-to-ship dresses. I'm a bit of a procrastinator and hopeless "it will all come together" kind of girl and had about 30 days until my "big day". In a hurry (and with reckless hopes of dieting) I had ordered a dress in a size too small because I LOVED it (it is very hard to choose between all of their beautiful dresses). Thankfully, Veronica was able to hone in on what I was looking for out of a dress and guided me to Seiliny. Veronica's expertise and understanding helped bring my fairytale to life and saved me from a dress catastrophe! I will not lie, I was VERY hesitant in ordering a dress from a company I had no history with, but after reading reviews and talking to Veronica I decided to put my trust in OliviaBotegga.

The dress arrived days before I had expected it to and I was beyond happy with the way the dress fit right out of the package. the bodice felt like it was made just for me- I attribute this to the lacing in the back which is very gracious and allows for some wiggle room on measurements. The length was a little long (I am 5'7"), I think I could have made it work but decided to get it hemmed and wore a six ring petticoat to give provide more fullness- I do wish the seamstress would not have taken so much off. An added bonus of this dress is that it has pockets (I carried a handkerchief in mine). The material felt like quality (thick) & had many layers of tule, but was still VERY comfortable.

I was told so many times that day how elegant I looked and I am still receiving compliments on how well this dress photographs. I truly felt like a princess.
