Every year, the design process starts by reflecting on feedback from brides and those in our community. In the spirit of honouring brides, we asked some of our top retailers to nominate an exceptional bride: someone with a backstory who made a lasting impression on them. The women behind the stories—which include living with a disability, recovering from a life-changing accident, and training young women in self-defence—are inspiring, encouraging, and embody the best qualities of a Truvelle bride. Amy, Christine, Jessi, Lexi, Lulu, Kaley, Kisha, and Mackenzie—thank you for being role models in your communities and beyond.
