Tuesday's Tip #7: When to Begin the Quest for Your Dress

Searching for your wedding gown is one of the most highlighted moments of planning your wedding. A mistake that many girls often make is beginning too late to search for her dress. So when is the perfect time to start your search?

Welcome Our New Bridesmaids Line

Tuesday's Tip #6: White vs. Ivory

It's a never ending battle between a white wedding gown and an ivory wedding gown. Then there's all these colors in between, like diamond white, alabaster, and oyster. All these terms seem foreign when you begin the search for your gown but there is hope! These simple tips can help you decide if white or ivory is best for you.

September: Dress of the Month

Fall is around the corner. As the color palettes of the season begin to shift into warmer shades and temperatures begin to cool down, this months dress is perfect for the season.

Tuesday's Tip #4: What Fit Fits You Best

Bridal gowns have come a long way in the last twenty years. Women today can browse around the internet, decide what style she likes the best, visit some shops and try on individual gowns where no two look alike. The convenience of shopping for your wedding gown has improved drastically, however it is important to understand and decide what shape gown will fit your body best before you exhaust yourself with thousands of dresses you will never be satisfied with.

Tuesday's Tip #3: Bridal Lingo

For our third tip we thought it would be important to brush up on those bridal terms! Bridal lingo can throw you off and cause confusion between you and your sales consultant. If you find you are unsure about a certain word, always ask your stylist to clarify what they mean so you can ensure you are both on the same page. It's not an easy task to remember a handful of words when you're trying to focus on finding your dress. Here's some vocab to help you speak and understand bridal chat.
