The best part of any Bridal Appointment is watching the bride get decked out with accessories after choosing the gown of their dreams. 🥰 There's just something about the addition of a veil, sleeves, jewelry, or a sparkly bridal belt or sash that really completes an ensemble. Not to mention, the bride's excitement when they realize their wedding look is now complete. Don't get me wrong: I can certainly appreciate a minimalist look, but sometimes, you just need a bit of sparkle. . . ✨

Long-sleeve wedding dresses have an undeniable elegance that’s perfect for any bride. The additional fabric gives any dress a sophisticated and classic effect. Plus, the silhouette goes beyond lace; there are voluminous tulle ballgowns and gossamer mesh sleeves in versatile designs befitting every personality and ceremony type. So whether you’re planning intimate courthouse nuptials or a destination wedding at the beach, rest assured that you’ll look polished and glamorous in the long-sleeve wedding dress of your choosing.

Newly Engaged? 💍 Ekkkk! Congratulations! 🥳 After you've had time to soak it all in that THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING and you've announced it to all of those who matter most to you, it's hard to know where to begin. 😅 But our whole world is wedding planning! And here's what we think should be at the TOP of your list.

📅 Select your Date!

💵 Set a budget!

📝 Book your Vendors! Venue, Planner, Photographer, Videographer, DJ, Catering, Decor/Rentals!

👰‍♀️ Dress Shopping! And we aren't just saying this because we own a Bridal Store. 😜We say this because not a lot of brides know how the dress process works. Bridal Gowns are made by designers, Bridal Shops go to "market" (think fancy runways, models, etc.), form relationships with designers, and decide which designers and styles they will carry in their store. The designers send in a "sample gown" (finished product of each of the styles we ordered). Then, Brides come, try on the various dresses, and either:

1️⃣ You purchase that dress. The one we carry in our store and take it home with you same day.
*OR*
2️⃣ You find the perfect dress, we take your measurements, send them to the designer and they make the exact gown according to your measurements and ship it to our store for you to pick up.

The first option is great! But if you purchase a gown of the rack it needs to be your size or only 1-2 sizes bigger in order for it to still maintain its design during alterations. So, the second option is what a lot of Brides end up doing. But, that takes time. No matter which Bridal Shop you go to! So make sure you book your appointment for sooner than later so you can say "I do" in the dress that makes you feel most YOU!
