Here’s 3 great tips of advice provided:
1) Wear a dress that fits your theme. Getting married at the beach? Opt for a fancy sun dress. Getting married on New Year’s? Definitely go for a dress with lots of gold or silver sparkle.

Some hot trends we are seeing this season are brooches, cuffs, statement earrings and headbands!
Brooches are versatile and can be use as keepsake or be worn again after your wedding day. You can use the brooch to singe a sash, incorporate it in your hairstyle or simply be dazzled your dress.
Make a statement with just one piece. A cuff bracelet is bold enough to stand on its own. Choose either one very wide bracelet, or customize the look by layering and stacking two or three bangles. Whichever you decide, the effect will be red carpet ready.
Statement earrings can add shimmer and glamour to your look. From chandelier earrings to oversized studs, these pieces can draw attention to the face and not overpower you or your beautiful dress.
Headbands are my absolute favorites of the seaseon and one of the most popular bridal looks this year. This is the perfect chance to add more sparkle to your outfit and works great with any hair styles.
Here are some of my favorites from Malis Henderson and MEG Jewelry:
Weddings are not just summer affairs anymore. We are definitely seeing more brides choosing to tie the knot in the fall and winter. Imagine the beautiful snow sparkling on the ground, the bride in a fur wrap complementing her beautiful gown. So romantic!
The weather in the winter months could be cold and snowy. So wraps, shrugs, capes, and boleros are all excellent alternatives to keep you cozy on the big day. Snuggle up and cover up with my fabulous finds.
While strapless dresses are still favorable for most brides. We’re definitely seeing more interest in straps. As strapless dresses can leave a large swath of skin bare, sometimes adding straps on the shoulder and frame a girl’s face. Here are options for girls dare to be different and rock the dress with your style.

Our trip to Chicago was filled with excitement as we checked out the latest in bridal trends.
The trip was a great success and we picked up several new designer lines. Keep an eye out, we will be announcing our new additions in the near future!
Rise above the rest, the gown that stood out from all others belongs to one of my favorite designers is this beautiful A- line gown from Anjolique. The dropped waist elongates the torso and shows off the tiny waist of every bride. Made of incredibly light silk and also featuring a built- in corset, this dress is unbelievably comfortable to wear. The breathtaking detail across the empire is just enough and it is so elegantly placed. From the back, the intricate detail looks like a pair of angel wings which I absolutely love it!
For a bride dreaming for a fairy tale wedding looking like modern Cinderella, this is definitely THE GOWN! It is so simple yet very elegant.
