The White Dress

12/08/2024

Don’t forget that we’re celebrating our 13th Anniversary the entire month of December! Any bride who orders her dress this month will be entered into a giveaway to get $500 off her dress!

And if you’re hoping to visit us for our plus-sized trunk show, here’s one more sneak peak to tempt you:

Tiny pearls and sequins bubble up across a contemporary strapless corset bodice following fine tucks at the waist of a flowing sheath skirt. This gown is chic and suave with just enough sparkle for effortless allure. The scoop neckline is contemporary, the corset lacing on the back of the bodice has a hint of vintage, and the elegantly draped sheath skirt feels very modern. Altogether, if this dress were a drink, it would be Champagne. Here’s to the glittering bride!
We can imagine a bride in this dress surrounded by orchids at her ceremony in a mid-century modern church or synagogue.

Visit times will fill up fast, so book with us now!

Here’s another preview of a Stella York dress from the plus-size collection we will be featuring at the trunk show December 6th & 7th!

Whimsical floral cutouts, gliding crepe, and trendy exposed boning, what could be more romantic? This dress is both structured and flowing, a vision of lace and crepe. The square neckline, sheer bodice, exposed boning, and sleek spaghetti straps hint at a vintage bo***ir inspiration. Floral lace is the standout feature of this dreamy gown, decorating the sheer bodice, detailing the sleek waistline, and then the chic column skirt drifts into a light and airy lace chapel train. Curvy brides will love the way the flattering scooped back brings the minimal straps and structured bodice together into perfect, figure-embracing harmony.

We expect to see a bride in this gown posing for her wedding photos on a vintage Carousel showered by rose petals.

Our trunk show on December 6th & 7th will be featuring plus-size gowns from Stella York’s new collection. Here’s a peek at what we’ll have!

Graceful, sumptuous, timeless, and chic all describe this fabulous gown. For the minimalist bride who loves the romance of a ball gown, this dress is the perfect blend of simplicity and luxury. Matte satin has a soft sheen that is expertly crafted into a classic ball gown silhouette. The daring v neckline is contemporary, the bare back is trendy, and the deep box pleats lean into an old-world feeling. And to add just that little extra, a perfect line of fabric covered buttons runs from the waist to the very end of the train. This gown is truly stunning.

We can picture our minimalist bride embracing the luxury of lush greenery, live plants, and enchanting lighting for a December wedding in the Meijer Gardens Palm House.

Plus-size brides! We have a trunk show for YOU on December 6th & 7th! Wondering what will be there? Here’s a behind the scenes look at some of the Stella York dresses we’ll be featuring during the show!

Idol status is within reach for the bride in this opulent chiffon gown. The rich fabric feels extravagant and the drape is 100% luxurious. The scoop neck with a b***d bodice gives this flowing dress a little bit of structure that holds the graceful skirt and echoing long sleeves in perfect balance. The high slit provides a more contemporary flair for the bride ready to step out in all her glory. Detachable sleeves can be on or off shoulder to play up the flowing feel or be removed to place the emphasis on the minimalist bodice and opulent skirt. The fabric embraces curves with a sleek flowing texture for consistent elegance. No matter which variation, this glamorous gown will bring out the inner goddess in the bride that selects it.

We envision a bride in this dress enjoying an intimate evening vineyard ceremony and embracing her divinity in an outdoor reception under the stars.

December 6th & 7th Is our Plus-Size Bride Trunk Show! We’re previewing some Stella York dresses we will be featuring—so if you see something that catches your eye, reserve your spot before it’s too late!

You simply cannot go wrong with this alluring gown. Lace studded tulle is on-trend and the cut of the dress plays up the lustrous 3D floral lace with intricate beading for a contemporary yet iconic style. The fit-and-flare silhouette is ideal for curves, the structured bodice and deep sweetheart neckline are sophisticated and sensual. Beads, lace and tulle cascade into a sweeping mermaid style train, highlighting the silhouette of the dress. This gown has all kinds of old-Hollywood opulence packed into a shimmering luxe dress that can make any bride embrace her bombshell status.

We imagine this bride and her special someone posing for Red Carpet style pictures under the lights of a lavish movie palace, like Detroit’s FOX Theatre.

Reserve your spot for our plus-size brides trunk show, December 6th & 7th! Here’s a sneak preview of one of the Stella York dresses we will be featuring at the trunk show!

Glittering and gorgeous, this dress is fashion forward, flirty, and fun. The sheer bodice is covered in shimmering sheet lace and beading. The deep v neck and side v detail create a mesmerizing interplay with the layered French tulle. But the glamor doesn’t stop there, trails of tiny sparkling beads adorn the A-line skirt from the waist twinkling all the way to the train. This transforms the gown from fairy lights to fireworks, a triumph for the fashionista bride.

We can picture a diva bride holding the spotlight in this beautiful ensemble as she walks down the aisle in a Theatre venue. We can also picture her sweeping the dancefloor as the happy couple perform a choreographed ‘dancing-with-the-stars’ inspired first dance!

Our next dress pick? Sutherland is glamorous in every way. Allure Bridal outdid themselves with this catwalk-worthy design. Everything about this dress is luxurious. The crepe fabric is layered over with lace, exposed boning in the back ties in the lace cutouts in the train, and removable sleeves provide a high level of versatility to this stunning gown.

The elegance and glamor of this dress would certainly suit a rooftop wedding amid the Detroit skyline, or a sophisticated loft wedding overlooking the Grand River.

WHITE Friday & Small Business Saturday Sale Exclusive: Belts (which never go on sale) will be 10% off. Book an appointment with our store, November 29th & 30th!

Our next designer favorite? Inessa, from ADORE by Justin Alexander. Utterly romantic describes this dress perfectly. It is sweet, sensual, textured, subtle, and bold all at the same time. The patterned layer and deep “v” neckline are daring and current, the full tulle layer with tiny pleats is classic and adds interest to the gown. Pairing the silhouette and fabrics together creates a whimsical, standout dress.

This dress is so versatile, it would be just as iconic for a bride surrounded by poinsettias and candlelight for a winter church wedding as it would for a bride framed by dahlias and saffron curtains in a midsummer beachside wedding.

This dress is the perfect bled for the bride who loves being a country girl in a chic modern world.
Barn wedding venues are in high demand, and this dress would really shine against a backdrop of weathered wood and bright wildflowers.

The bare back and large bow detail elevate this dress to an instant classic.

We imagine this dress in a stunning outdoor ceremony surrounded by lush greenery, minimalist floral arrangements and luxe lighting.

This dress is a beauty, with or without the beast! Rey is a gorgeous dress for a fall wedding, with just a nod to fantasy inspiration. The details elevate this dress. The satin of this gown is rich and textured with just a hint of shine. There are buttons all the way down the back to the train. The structured bodice and off the shoulder ‘sleeves’ are beautifully draped. An A-line silhouette makes this a statement piece without the extra drama (and heavy fabric!) of a full ball gown shape. The sweetheart neckline and hidden slit make this gown subtly sexy. The bride in this fantastic dress would look radiant lit by autumn’s early setting sun slanting through stained glass windows.

Still looking for the perfect dress for you? Don’t worry! We stock one of the largest selections of wedding dresses in Michigan. Explore our Look Book to see more!

New England, eat your heart out. Michigan’s incredible fall color draws people from far and near to experience its brilliance, and Hollis brings that old money ‘who’s who’ sophistication to a Michigan bride’s autumn wedding. This sleek silhouette’s high neck is on-trend and sheath shape is absolutely timeless. The lace is luxurious and romantic, while the cut of the dress is classy and minimalistic. We can see a bride in this dress on the porch of the Grand Hotel during peak color season sipping Champagne as the sun sets over the Straits.

Oakley takes old world charm and infuses it with modern sophistication. Indulgent fabric in a classic ball gown silhouette with little modern details makes this gown current without losing its dreamy quality. The puffed sleeve separates push into the old-world elegance while the cowl neckline over exposed boning pulls toward Hollywood glamour. This dress strikes a perfect balance for the bride who loves the contrast of old and new. We imagine this dress with gilded vintage furniture and harvest bounty décor in a concrete and glass venue.
