“The funny thing is that although we place so much energy and importance on our wedding day, it isn’t the biggest day of our life. The biggest day of your life is every day thereafter. Because it’s not the pledge to love someone that matters, but the act of fulfilling that pledge that is most important. In other words, it’s only just begun.”

2.       Metallic Fabrics and embellishments: Shimmering fabrics and Sparkly beading will really make a bride shine!

 

3.       Luxe Layering:  Versatile coverlets and capes are perfect for brides that are seeking extra coverage from cooler temperatures, a more modest look, or simply added drama. With so many styles available, brides will find it easy to choose one that compliments their gown and personal style beautifully.

4.       Dramatic Back Details: Exquisitely adorned portrait back gowns and cowls are highly sought-after this season. With designs ranging from classy & elegant to bold & daring, these dresses will definitely impress your guests from all angles.

 5.       Illusion necklines: Modesty and sex appeal are blended together flawlessly with these gowns! With so many variations available, brides can choose to be subtle with unembellished mesh, refined with lace, or over the top with beading and crystals!

 6.        Memorable Skirts: This season’s popular peplum skirts can be sleek and sophisticated or breathtakingly voluminous.

 7.       Think Pink: Pale pinks and blushes are not only growing in popularity as a choice color for bridesmaids, but also for the bride! With hues that will flatter every skin tone, a pink wedding gown is perfect for a fun loving bride who is looking to make a unique statement on her special day.

 8.       Gatsby Glam: These dresses are great options for a bride seeking a stunning vintage look.  Inspired by the roaring twenties, these gorgeous column gowns and sheath dresses feature the silhouettes, ornate beading and accessories from a bygone era.   

9.       Tea Length Dresses: These 50’s inspired dresses are a perfect choice for playful and flirty brides.

10.   Tons of Texture: Appliques, rosettes and detailed embroidery create beautiful visual interest.

 

Here are a few tips to help ensure that your quest to find that perfect gown is an enjoyable experience:

–          Be sure to book your appointments early! Some designers can take weeks or even months to create your gown.

–          Choose your entourage wisely! Too many opinions can sometimes be overwhelming or confusing.

–          Consider your venue, theme, and the time of year when choosing the ideal bridal style.

–          Be open-minded! A style that you may not have originally considered might end up being “the one”.

–          Don’t feel rushed or pressured!  You will want to feel your absolute best on your special day, so take as much time as you need to make you final choice.
