Wedding Gown Wednesday "Arabella"

This week for Wedding Gown Wednesday we are featuring "Arabella," a gown that mimics Kate Middleton's. This dress is designed by Monique L'huillier and comes from her Bliss line. If you are a more modest bride who wants elegance and style, this could be the dress for you.

We love the lace illusion neckline and long sleeves. We also really like how this gown has sheer lace covering the entire back and all the buttons on the lace.

The waistline is banded with a champagne ruched sash. The skirt is silk and draped with asymmetrical pickups with beautifully delicate lace scalloped at the hem. If you think this lovely gown might be the one for you, we would love for you to visit us for an appointment and try on "Arabella."

Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Delia"

Merry Christmas! This week we thought we'd show off our seasonal wedding party. The gown we're featuring is a simple silk satin Bliss gown by Monique L'huillier that we've renamed "Delia."

We love the simple silhouette of the fitted, ruched A-line dress. The silk satin is the perfect fabric for a winter wedding. The neckline has a subtle sweetheart shape, which is nice for girls who prefer a more modest sweetheart top.

Another great feature of this gown is the invisible side zip. This is great, as the ruching is not interrupted with a zipper in the back of the dress. If you're looking for a simple, sophisticated gown "Delia" might be the perfect dress. We would love for you to set up an appointment to come in and try her on.

Wedding Gown Wednesday "Nancy"

Happy Wedding Gown Wednesday, everyone! We chose a unique neckline again this week. Meet "Nancy," a lace Bliss gown by Monique L'huillier. We love the delicate rounded scalloped lace neckline and the very pretty low scalloped detailed back.

"Nancy" has a champagne-colored banded waist. The fit of the skirt is a trumpet, so it's slightly fitted at the hips. We love the scalloped lace hem and buttons, which go all the way down the skirt to the hem.

If you think "Nancy" might be the gown of your dreams we would love for you to come in for an appointment!

Wedding Gown Wednesday: "Valerie"

We fell in love with this Bliss gown as soon as we received it this week. "Valerie" is such a pretty and different dress. This dress is made of silk organza with a bodice that's simply ruched to show off a nice waistline.

We love a textured skirt on a wedding gown and this one is one of the prettier ones we've seen. It has an asymmetrical swirl design and flow.

If you're seeking a classic silhouette but want a unique design, this might be one for you to consider because this dress is certainly both of those things. If you'd like to come in and try her on please give us a call and we would be happy to set up an appointment for you!

Wedding Brain Storming and Pinterest

So, we've jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon and are now completely obsessed. It's such a great place to find inspiration and give our brides new ideas for their weddings. Here are a few ways we've found Pinterest to be helpful.

Getting ready to do your hair trial but have no idea what you want? Search wedding hair styles and you will not be disappointed! There are so many options—the placement of hair combs and flowers helps even more to envision what you may like.

We searched wedding cakes and expected to find traditional cakes and maybe a few with some pops of color but that was not the case. The big trend here is cake pop cakes. They are super cute—shaped like a traditional cake but with a modern twist. What do you think about this trend? Would it be something you'd consider for your wedding?

Are you a DIY (Do It Yourself) bride? Pinterest has so many ideas you can glean! Favors, decor, cakes and more. Here are a couple of options that came up when we searched DIY weddings.

Overall we think this is an amazing free resource and connects you with websites and blogs that may end up being very beneficial to your wedding planning.
