I Found My Reception Dress at Elite Pour La Vie

You guys. I found my reception dress. And I’m so excited.

To be honest, I wasn’t planning on changing dresses. I love my wedding dress so much and never thought I’d be the girl that wanted to wear more than one dress. And then, I found THE perfect reception dress at Elite Pour La Vie and instantly changed my mind. I obviously won’t reveal what it looks like or what my wedding dress looks like but I’ll tell you this: they are the polar opposites of each other and I am beyond excited to celebrate and dance the night away in this dress.

Before I found the one, I tried on so many gorgeous dresses. Let me tell you – if you live in Atlanta or anywhere near the South, I highly recommend you check out Elite Pour La Vie. Beautiful designer dresses and an experience unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed. It’s like Rawan (the owner) sprinkled fairy magic on each of the dresses. Every single one I tried on felt like THE one until I, of course, find the THE one. I love how many trends and styles and designers she carries in her stores – one in Alpharetta and one in Buckhead.

I wasn’t 100% sure what direction I wanted to head in for the reception so I tried on a little bit of everything. Ball gown and sparkle, lace and embellishments, long sleeve and strapless. We had options.


Stay tuned for the final reveal of my reception dress come wedding day, You guys are going to DIEEEE when you see this stunner.
