Dean by Sottero & Midgley

V-back crepe bridal gown with a statement train. The sexy bodice of floral motifs and illusion blooms is inspired by nature itself! The lightweight crepe material makes it an amazing dress to wear on the beach or for a garden affair!

 

 

Baxter by Allison Webb

Hotter temperatures mean short dresses are more popular than ever during this season. Baxter is a snow mikado midi dress with a crescent neckline and low back. Have fun with this look by adding detachable sleeves and a pink silk taffeta bow to complete the look!

Top Dress Shopping Tips for Mother of the Bride

In need of a Mother of the Bride Gown? Read along for essential tips that will have you prepared and ready to shop!

The Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom are vital members that attribute to the wedding day. They host several of the events surrounding the wedding activities. You will be the center of attention when you walk down the aisle, are introduced at the reception, and greeting the guests. It is important that you are represented well and that you feel beautiful on the wedding day!

Do Not Wait Last Minute!

One mistake made often is looking for your dress too late. Typically, one should start searching for a dress 3 to 4 months in advance before the wedding. It will allow lead time for shipping and alterations needed. Keep in mind the pandemic has caused some delays with purchase orders, which is another reason to plan ahead of time. Searching for a dress earlier will help ease the stress of finding the perfect one.

Before you Shop

Before you go shopping, get an idea of what the bride would prefer you wear. She might want you to coordinate a dress that matches her wedding colors or have a particular style of dress that complements the bridal party. Make sure to appropriately dress to accommodate for location, weather, and dress code. For example, you should not show up in casual attire if it is for a formal wedding at Knotting Hill. Also, be sure to contact the Mother-of-the-Groom before you shop so she knows what to buy.

Real Bride Sarah & Ron’s Fandom Wedding

Yes, these are unprecedented times! Sarah and Ron’s wedding had to be pushed back a couple of months before tying the knot. With everything going on, it was nearly impossible to keep the focus on their wedding. However, they managed to not only have a beautiful wedding but showcase their personalities as well! Read along to find out Sarah’s dream dress and wedding details that made it so special!

 

Tell us about your proposal…

We vacationed in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it was three days after the anniversary of our first date. Ron asked me to put on a nice dress because we were going to a nice dinner to celebrate our anniversary. However, he did not tell me was that we were going to take a detour through a park that Edinburgh Castle overlooks. I thought Ron was crazy because of the rain, but we got an umbrella from a souvenir shop, and it the location turned out to be gorgeous. He brought me to a stunningly ornate fountain, with the castle in the background, and there was a woman nearby taking photographs. He asked the woman if she would mind taking our photo, and she agreed. Ron handed her his phone and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him in the rain. The woman quickly whipped out her professional camera and took pictorial evidence that the fairytale proposal was real. I obviously said “Yes!” right away!

 

 

What Made Your Dress the One?

Growing up my dream dress was the one that my grandmother wore on her wedding day. It had long sleeves, a full skirt and was stunning in its simplicity. It reminded me of a dress that Audrey Hepburn would wear, and I have always loved the classic and minimalistic style of the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately, the dress was preserved incorrectly, so it was not an option. When I saw my dress at StarDust Celebrations (it was the first one that Marianne showed me), I immediately knew that it was the modern version of my grandmother’s dress! It had the beauty of simplicity, with a modern and sexy twist! As cliché as it sounds, I felt like a princess from the moment I walked out of the dressing room and saw myself in the mirror.  It also helped that it made my mother cry every time I tried it on.

What was your dress shopping experience like at StarDust Celebrations?

Fantastic does not even begin to describe my experience shopping for dresses at StarDust Celebrations. Marianne pretty much took one look at me, asked a few questions, and immediately knew what dress I would love and look fabulous wearing. She was my real-life fairy godmother. She made me feel taken care of, very special, and made the process a breeze! I was afraid I would spend months looking for my dress, and within minutes of our appointment, Marianne found the perfect dress for me! Also, the alterations staff were amazing, detailed, and gifted at their craft.

What was your theme on your wedding day?

Our theme was “Nerdy Romantic!” Ron and I are huge self-proclaimed nerds, and we spent our first date talking about all our different fandoms, trading The Simpsons quotes, and ranking Harry Potter books and the Star Wars movies. We knew our wedding had to reflect us while still holding on to the classical romance of the day, of course.

What was special about your big day?

I have two answers to this! The first is finally getting to say, “I do!” Our wedding got postponed for two months due to the pandemic, and we were just so excited to finally get married. My other answer is the first look Ron, and I did. It was so nice to have a private moment together before the ceremony, spend a few minutes chatting, and seeing each other with barely anyone there since the rest of the day was a whirlwind. I also love the stunned look on his face when he saw me in my dress for the first time!

 

What personalized details went into your wedding?

We personalized our wedding by adding small, subtle nerdy details throughout our reception. Each table had a specific fandom couple associated with it and small decorations to match, such as Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter, Han and Leia from Star Wars, and Luke and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls. We also had a wall-hanging guest book shaped like the Millennium Falcon where guests could write their name on a heart and drop it in. The best, however, was the Groom’s cake, carved to be Chewbacca wearing the Sorting Hat.

Two Looks On Your Wedding Day

You have dreamt about your wedding dress ever since you were little. Maybe you have envisioned a glamorous ball gown, a conservative, classic look, or a lacey A-line that truly captures your Pinterest goals. You go to your style appointment to try on numerous gowns and narrowed it down to two. Your heart is breaking because you cannot decide which one to choose. One dress captures your sweet and romantic side while the other one brings the dazzle you want for your reception. We have a solution to save all that stress by just choosing both! Create the best of both worlds by wearing two looks. A decision you will not regret!

Benefits of Two Dresses

Having two wedding dresses on your wedding is a great way to show off your personality and leave a lasting impression. It sets the tone for the ceremony and gives creative room for your reception. Also, it allows you to honor any religious or cultural beliefs during the ceremony, but you can still be yourself during the reception. Comfort is an important factor, so choose a loose dress to eliminate any frustrations with mobility, especially on the dance floor.  A long sleeve elegant look for your ceremony may satisfy any religious customs, whereas a lightweight silk dress with beaded spaghetti straps may be perfect for a reception full of dancing. Another terrific reason to hop on the two-look train is to accommodate for weather or location changes. Having the luxury of versatility can be your best friend on your big day.

TWO LOOKS ON A BUDGET

Still wanting to get that two-look attire on your wedding day but need to save money for other wedding essentials. A wonderful option is to buy one gown, but you can add layering pieces like a detachable overskirt or a beautiful capelet. Adding details and accessories creates the same effect, and still stays within your budget.
