In Part 2 of Jamie Krantz’s wedding story, she opens up about the emotional journey of finding a wedding dress that truly felt like her. She also talks candidly about her alterations challenges, how she handled the unexpected stress, and why she encourages every bride to find a dress that fits them, not the other way around.

When Hurricane Helene forced her to postpone her Asheville Arboretum wedding, Jamie found herself planning a second celebration in Charlotte with just days to spare. She walks us through how she stayed calm, worked with her vendors to make both events meaningful, and created two unforgettable wedding days filled with love and gratitude.

If you’re in the middle of dress shopping or navigating last-minute wedding changes, this episode will remind you that even when plans shift, your wedding can still reflect who you are and be every bit as beautiful as you dreamed.
