Real Bride: Rashaé Peart
Tell us about your love story:
We actually met at school but never properly met until around year 10 when we became friends, and then didn't start dating until we were about 19.
There were so many memorable moments! Obviously our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more. But we've been on some amazing holidays together, travelling to Thailand was a memorable one!
How did you know Shaun was the one?
We just understood each other completely straight away. It was a really genuine progression from friendship to love.
How did Shaun pop the question?
Watching the sunrise on the beach in Santorini, which was absolutely unreal.
What made you decide to purchase a REBECCA TEMBO bespoke Eli dress?
I'm hugely indecisive, I think my friends and bridesmaids were sick of me asking to visit 'one more shop' to try and find the dress. I FINALLY found my perfect dress but I knew I wanted a different vibe for the evening, I wanted something more figure hugging and easier to dance in, after looking around for this kind of style for a while I didn't find anything I loved, but found a dress with Rebecca that seemed like it could be perfect. So that's what made me decide to start the bespoke process and have a meeting with her to discuss possibilities.
I really loved the detailing and the shape of the neckline, I hadn't seen anything like that before so that really interested me. The fit of the dress also looked really flattering.
How was your experience with REBECCA TEMBO?
The whole process was really easy. Rebecca was also super accommodating and went above and beyond to get my dress to me. Everything was done in perfect timing with no delays and the communication throughout was also great. Essentially just a super easy and relaxing process, which was nice when dealing with the stresses of wedding planning.
Rebecca is super personable and friendly, and the team is clearly really talented. I gave my initial measurements virtually and at my first fitting the dress was already pretty much spot on.
What advice would you give to future brides looking for a bespoke wedding piece outfit?
I think if you're trying on dresses and nothing feels 100% right then you should definitely consider bespoke. I think knowing that you have something like that to treasure, keep and maybe even pass on is so precious.
