Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Charlotte"

We are very excited to share this Paloma Blanca style #4208 that we have renamed "Charlotte." There are so many things we love about this gown. Ever since we saw this dress on the line sheets at our vendor appointment we could not wait for it to arrive!

We had a dress that was similar and several of our brides asked, "Can I make this a sweetheart neckline? Can we add a beaded sash to give it some sparkle?" Just in case you'd like to see the original design (that we still love) here it is.

"Charlotte" has the best of both worlds if you are wanting a sweetheart neckline and a little bit of beading. The top of this gown has a shear corset-like feel but Paloma Blanca, always thinking about their brides, sent along a paneling in case a bride isn't crazy about the sheer-like top they can try it with a lining.

The sash is available in your choice of black, natural or pearl. We can't wait to showcase this gown in our next fashion show! If you think this could be your dream dress we would love for you to set up an appointment to try on "Charlotte."

Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Marlena"

For today's Wedding Gown Wednesday we picked a Mikaella design we just received in this week. "Marlena" is the name we have given her. She exudes romance. We love the soft organza fabric and thin spaghetti straps that "V" in the back.

The skirt is a full baby doll style that is simple and…it has pockets! We all love pockets at the Bella. Another detail we like about this dress is the beautiful flowers on the back of the gown—they are so sweet!

Even though the overall design is a relatively simple one, the flowers and spaghetti straps give "Marlena" a unique twist. If you think that this could be your dream dress we would love for you to come in and try it on.

Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Naomi"

This week we are showcasing a beautiful new gown from Mikaella (style 1605) that we have re-named "Naomi." "Naomi" has a slightly dipped strapless neckline with subtle ruching on the bodice. The skirt meets the bodice just below the natural waist with a soft, delicate flower.

One reason we think this gown is wonderful is that the fit of the bodice is slightly lower than the natural waist, which really pulls in and showcases a small waist. The skirt is draped in the front with box pleats in the back, which makes the skirt a little bit fuller than a typical ball gown.

If you think "Naomi" might be your dream dress we would love for you to come in for an appointment to try it on.

Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Monica"

We are excited to share this lovely new Paloma Blanca gown that we have re-named "Monica." This lovely lace and satin trumpet gown is simple but elegant.

"Monica" has a subtle sweetheart neckline featuring lace detail re-embroidered scalloped lace. The gown has simple princess seams down the front and back with lace and beading detail around the hem and train of the skirt. The back is low and has buttons down the entire length of the dress. If you think this could be the one we would love for you to make an appointment to try on "Monica".

Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Shanae"

We absolutely love this new Tara Keely gown and we are so excited to share it with you. We have renamed this lovely gown "Shanae." One of the things we really love about this dress is its couture feel without the couture price—it's less than $2,000!

The top of this dress has a lace overlay with a slight illusion sweetheart neckline and virtually non-existent spaghetti straps. The organza skirt is cinched in by a large organza origami and crystal belt (don't worry— if you're not into big sashes it's detachable). The skirt is a simple and soft A-line skirt with a chapel-length train. If you could see yourself in this amazing gown on your wedding day we would love for you to set up an appointment to try on "Shanae."
