#EnzoaniRealBride: Andrea & Robbie

Andrea and Robbie experienced a real-life fairytale in the grand ballrooms of The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where they said “I do” on June 29, 2014. The brilliant hues of radiant orchids set the tone for this fun-loving couples big day and provided a perfect backdrop for Andrea’s romantic gown.

Andrea looked absolutely stunning in her Modeca Olva gown from Enzoani’s Blue Collection. The delicate lace and jewelled belt were the perfect additions to her fairytale-themed wedding.

“I said “Yes” to the Enzoani Olva dress! I knew it was ''the one'' from the second I tried it on. It was the perfect combination of everything I was searching for in a wedding dress. It was covered in just the right amount of gorgeous alencon lace and, adorned with a beautiful sparkly belt that was already attached (that’s a huge plus), with a fitted silhouette that exuded elegance. Since I am only 5’ 0’’, I was looking for a dress that would suit my petite body type. Dress after dress, designer after designer, I felt like the dress was wearing me. As soon as I saw the Olva on the hanger, I knew it could be “the one” for me. After stepping into the dress, and as soon as the bridal consultant zipped up the back, I looked in the mirror, and for the first time I was able to see myself in the dress and not just the beautiful dress. I finally felt like a bride! The dress felt like it was made just for me. I felt like a fairytale princess on my wedding day….a little girl’s dream come true.” 

“Another amazing option that the Enzoani Olva offered was the option to order the dress “hollow to hem.” (The hollow to hem measurement is one of the measurements taken when determing wedding dress sizing, and measures the length of the body, starting at the hollow of the neck down to the hem of the dress) This was a perfect option for me as I am only 5 feet tall! Once I figured out which heels I would be wearing on my wedding day, my bridal shop measured me so that we could order the dress in the perfect length! When the dress came in, we were so happy that we didn’t have to get the dressed hemmed! That is pretty rare.”

Robbie and Andrea first began talking to one another after both joining the University of Wisconsin-Statesider Dorm Facebook group. Robbie was wondering who this pretty blonde was who had just added him as a friend. He sent her a private message asking if they knew each other, and soon they realized that they would be living in the same dorm in Madison. Andrea and Robbie continued to write back and forth for the remainder of the summer. They were both so excited for their freshman year; it was finally time to move in, and for Welcome Week to begin! After getting settled, Andrea decided to head to the Statesider gym. She kept making eye contact with a cute guy who would smile at her every time she turned around. Andrea realized that she had been caught, so she turned around and continued her workout on the elliptical. Then, the blue-eyed boy approached her and asked, “Are you Andrea Winter?” Andrea replied with, “Yes, are you Robbie Kitsis?” They both laughed and were so happy to finally meet in person! And the rest is history...
