Book Blurb:
Hi, my name is Bella and I'm one of Heidi by Design signature creations. I'm a wedding dress. Someday I'll find a young bride with stars in her eyes and dreams of a future with her groom. I can imagine it now. The groom standing at the altar waiting, his gaze fixed to the door where his bride will appear and then walk toward him. I'll hug her curves and she'll shimmer and shine with the promise of what their life will be.
It all sounds simple and easy, doesn't it?
Wrong...
My journey is more of a zig zag than a top stitch along a straight seam as I search for the perfect bride who is my soul mate.
My Review:
There’s a saying in the wedding planning industry: for every wedding dress created, there is a bride just waiting to find her. Once united, these two become one, like soulmates. Bella is a wedding dress designed by Heidi by Design and she can’t wait to meet the bride who chooses her. But like human love, Bella doesn’t meet her destined bride right away. Her journey takes her to two brides before meeting her soulmate bride. Bella discovers there’s a lot that must happen before happy couples say I do. Will Bella know when she meets her soulmate bride? Is it truly magical, like Heidi whispered while creating Bella?
Three Brides and a Dress is a delightful romantic comedy not to be missed. What first drew me in was the POV of Bella, a wedding dress. What an original concept and makes for an irresistible read. Bella’s character was innocent yet quite intuitive when it came to reading people and situations. The three brides were all relatable and showcased three common types of brides. Mary Martinez has a gift for writing honest, heartfelt stories with well-rounded characters, enough conflict to keep you turning the pages, and witty dialogue to make you laugh out loud. Three Brides and a Dress is the perfect beach read. Fans of wholesome romance and original stories will fall in love with Three Brides and a Dress. I’d love to see this book turned into a movie. Yes, it is that endearing to me. A truly original romantic comedy. Three Brides and a Dress is a must-read. Highly recommend!
