Top Bridal Gowns from the Runways



Romantic Lace, Decadent Beading, and Old Hollywood Allure

 

Bridal runways were all ablaze with detailed beading that twinkled in the lights, elegant lace that flowed and hugged curves, and silk gowns that reminisce of Old Hollywood starlets.  Brides who are looking to make a grand entrance on their wedding day will not be disappointed by the voluminous gowns that floated down the runways.  While, blushing ladies who opt for a more understated look will love the romantic and flirty gowns that echoed of spring with flower inspired textures and beading.  These amazing looks truly demonstrate the artistry and attention to detail that distinguishes an amazing gown from all the others.

Save the Dates

 

Wedding season is upon us!! 
I am sure you have been noticing more wedding invites, save-the-dates, and engagement announcements arriving in the mail lately.  For most of the country, wedding season begins in March and lasts until late October.  The first impression that your guests have of your upcoming event is the announcement or save-the-date you send to reserve the wedding day.  Save-the-dates are a wonderful tool especially for weddings that have many guests traveling to attend.  By sending guests an early announcement of your event, they can begin to make travel arrangements and take time off of work.  Save-the-dates are usually sent out any time from 3 - 5 months before the wedding or event.  While, wedding invites are traditionally sent out 6 weeks before the event. 

 

Since, the purpose of the save-the-dates is to serve as a reminder of the upcoming event, brides and grooms opt for creative and unique announcements that will not be easily forgotten or overlooked by the guests.  Some of the upcoming trends in save-the-dates are magnetic, DIY, and postcard announcements.  Couples have fun with their save-the-dates since they are meant to be more informal than the wedding invites.  Many couples incorporate their fun engagement photo shoot photos in their announcements to make them their own, and create a keepsake for their guests.  Don't forget to include on your announcement, the date of the wedding, where the event will take place, and a link to any related websites!
