We can hear the bells!
Danny Murphy and Evan Real, the co-hosts of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” had the delightful opportunity to go wedding dress shopping with “Southern Charm” alum Olivia Flowers as she gears up to tie the knot with fiancé Alex Williams.
Thankfully, we got to ride in style thanks to Tri-State Cadillac, who helped us get around the city in a sleek, all-electric LYRIQ vehicle to keep up with the bride-to-be!
Our first stop? Bridal Reflections — a must-stop destination for anyone looking to feel their best on their special day. We weren’t the only ones who joined Flowers for the trip; Her lovely mother, Robin, and esteemed bridal stylist Mary Jo Pont were both on hand to assist.
Flowers tried on an array of options in an effort to narrow down the style and vibe that she hopes to embody when walking down the aisle. The former reality star did admit to being a very “indecisive” person, so we are happy that we were able to help her in her hunt for the perfect gown.
Of course, because Flowers looks fabulous in everything, it was hard to pick just one — which is why we voted for her to do some outfit changes throughout our time together!
Is there anything more glamorous than a bridal costume change? We didn’t think so.
After modeling a number of looks designed by Leah Da Gloria, Flowers did say that she is really leaning towards the “ballgown, traditional feel” for her ceremony — but is very down to “slip into something sexy” for the reception.

One of the top contenders had two pieces — one of them being a corseted top that Pont noted could be worn at a later date (with jeans, perhaps) as a way to keep a bit of her wedding day in your wardrobe.

Following our shopping excursion with Flowers, we all worked up an appetite. That’s why we had to head on over in our Cadillac to Gemma — the delicious Italian mainstay connected to The Bowery Hotel.
New Yorkers — and visitors — love the restaurant for its extensive menu, plus the classic Big Apple atmosphere. An added bonus for Flowers? They have gluten-free pizza and pasta on the menu!
After just a few bites, she shared some exclusive tea about her “I Dos,” revealing the location and season for her nuptials: it will take place in Texas in November. While she hasn’t revealed the specific wedding venue, she did say the it has “a lot of meaning” to both her and Williams.
Before settling on the Lone Star state, Flowers did look “strongly at Charleston” because it is a “huge wedding capital.” The couple also considered Napa, but it is a little far for where their guests would be traveling from, she said.
Following our meal at Gemma, we unfortunately had to let her get on with her day to find some shoes for the wedding — because a bride’s job is never done. We hope you all enjoyed coming along for the ride!
