Just Add Color: Blush Pink Wedding Gowns

Your wedding day is extremely special – not just for you as a bride, but for your spouse-to-be and for all the other people invited as well. Therefore, you should never let any kind of “rule” ruin your dreams. This is your big day and you deserve to feel absolutely stunning and to be the happiest you have ever been!

A blush pink wedding gown can make an excellent statement. If you love this color, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t wear it on your wedding day. In fact, there are a lot of reasons that make this a wonderful choice! Here are some of them:

•  Blush pink is unique. If you want to have a wedding everyone will remember, not going for the traditional white dress can really say a lot about how much you care about being truly special!
• Going for a romantic feel? You don't get more romantic pink! A lovely blush gown is feminine and soft, yet still very mature!
• If you don’t want to go fully non-traditional, select a softer shade of blush. Pink gowns come in a variety of shades, some of them very subtle. In fact, at a first glance you might not notice they are not white!
• Blush pink can be very flatting. Depending on the shade, many complexions are brightened by rosy colored fabrics. If you are among them, don't rule out this colorful option simply for the sake of “tradition”.
• Last, but not least, if blush pink makes you feel happy and beautiful, simply go for it! Don't hold back from choosing the dress of your dreams!  Adding a touch of color is a great option!

If you are searching for an elegant and gorgeous blush pink wedding dress, we at Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique have plenty to choose from! MaggieSottero, Kitty Chen Couture, and other designers have incorporated pink into their collections. They're all waiting for you in our boutique and we guarantee you’ll love them!

Wedding Gown Accessories

If you watch fashion shows and if you read a lot of style tips, you will find a recurrent motif wherever you are and whatever “fashion and style gurus” you normally follow: accessorizing is everything.

Of course, your wedding day is absolutely no exception from this rule. Accessorizing your wedding gown properly can make it (and you!) shine. It can make simple dresses become true pieces of art. It can transform everything, indeed!

Because accessories are so important, here are some tips you may want to consider when choosing them for your wedding gown:

• The veil: this is one of the most commonly encountered wedding dress accessories, but it is not an absolute “must” these days. You are free to choose whatever length and design you desire, but make sure it will not be uncomfortable if you plan on dancing while wearing it. Even more than that, you can skip this altogether.
• The tiara: some brides choose to wear a tiara. You can wear it with your veil or as a stand-alone piece as well. Also, you can choose whatever design you feel most comfortable with, but make sure it matches with your other pieces of jewelry as well.
• The jewelry: you can have whatever jewelry you like. If your dress is very revealing in the front, a necklace will look gorgeous. Also, make sure you match the necklace and the earrings and that they don’t make you look too “busy” (that means that a very large necklace may not go excellently with a very large pair of earrings, for example).
• The shoes: generally, this is an area where brides get creative. Matching the shoes with those of your bridesmaids or going for very bright colors seems to be a popular choice. Furthermore, you can always choose to have your wedding shoes custom dyed if you are keen on a particular color!

Visit Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique for an amazing collection of wedding dresses and accessories to die for! We have dresses in all styles possible and one of them may just be “the one”!

P.S. - Now through October 30th, 2014, you could save up to $150 on your accessory selection when you purchase your gown with us. For all the details, visit our Accessory Event page!

Mother of the Bride Style

Your wedding is a big day indeed – not just for you and your spouse-to-be, but for the other people invited as well. And out of everyone there, your mother will definitely go through a lot of the emotions you may experience with you.

Traditionally, the mother of the bride is the hostess of the wedding reception. While this custom may not be followed these days, she will still be one of the most important guests at the wedding. Naturally, she will want to look great – and the following tips could help her truly feel like the mother of the most beautiful girl in the room!

She doesn’t have to dress like it’s the 1950s (except, of course, if she wants to do this or if your wedding actually follows a 50s’-related theme). Other than that, she is allowed to be as modern as she wants to be.

She should not leave the suit at home. Suits can be stylish and elegant and come in a variety of styles and colors. There are plenty of suits that can flaunt any kind of body shape – and she’ll look gorgeous wearing one of these!

She should play with color. There is absolutely no reason she should rule out wearing bright or pastel colors – they will make her look younger, dazzling and beautiful. Of course, if she wants to go for a black dress, that’s elegant and beautiful, that's a decision for the bride and mother of the bride to make together.

The hair and the jewelry really add to the look of the outfit – make sure to have a trial run with different hair styles and accessories. This will make the day of decision easy as you will already know exactly what looks great! The right hairstyle and accessories really add to the overall beauty of the wedding!

Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique offers a beautiful range of dresses suitable for mother of the brides, as well as wedding gowns, bridesmaids’ dresses and tuxedoes. Come visit us and help your mother choose her very own elegant gown!

Destination Wedding? Choose the Perfect Dress

Women love to doll up when they go out, but when it comes to their wedding day, they are ready to give up a lot of things just to see themselves wearing the perfect dress.

Choosing it is not as easy as it may appear to some and, if you are like most brides-to-be, you will find it quite difficult to make up your mind and settle on one of the million dresses available. If you are planning a destination wedding though, your choice may be eased out precisely because you will have to pick a wedding dress that fits into your destination’s background as well. Here are some things you may want to keep in mind when it comes to this:

The type of dress you choose is extremely important. Everything from the material the aisle is made of to how the surrounding area looks will be of the utmost importance when it comes to your dress.

Also, make sure that the length of your dress and the length of your veil will not be too much for the destination of your choice. A beach wedding with a very long veil may get you all sandy and a rustic wedding with a very long dress may turn into a messy disaster if it rains. Decide how much dirt you are willing to accept on your dress and then start searching for the length of your choice.

The time at which your ceremony and reception will take place is important too. For instance, if you have a dress with beautiful embroidery and an intricate design, it will look great during the day – but it will look like nothing special during the night. Therefore, if your ceremony starts in the evening and you know how late it is going to be by the time it is done, you will definitely have to take this into consideration.

Pay attention to the fabric used for your dress. If your destination wedding takes place outdoors (the most likely option), you will want to make sure that the fabric allows your skin to breathe, that it doesn’t cause any rashes, excessive sweat and that it doesn’t wrinkle very easily.

Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique can offer you a wide range of wedding dress options regardless of the destination you choose for your big day. We have all sorts of designs in store for you – just pay us a visit and you will definitely fall for one of our dresses.

Dyeable Shoes – Good Choice or Not?

Your big day is getting closer and closer with every moment and if you have already chosen your wedding gown, you are probably searching for the accessories that will make it really shine. Your shoes are just as important as the dress, the hair and the jewelry you will be wearing and you really have to pay attention to how you make this choice if you want to be perfect from head to toes.

Dyeable shoes are quite popular and many brides choose them for their own dress, as well as for their bridesmaids’ dresses. These shoes come in many designs which you can customize according to your wish (you can choose the perfect color for them, you can choose to add sequins and other embellishments as well). If you are still undecided when it comes to this choice read on and find out which are the most common reasons that brides are buying dyeable shoes:

Dyeable shoes are a great choice if you want to match your wedding dress to perfection. If you are having issues finding shoes to match the color of your dress, dyeable shoes are for you!

If you want to be less traditional and you want to add a splash of color to your wedding attire, dyeable shoes are also very suitable. For example, if you want to match your bridesmaids’ dresses to your shoes, this could be the perfect option for you.

You may simply want a very special design on your shoes – and that can be achieved by buying dyeable shoes and having them painted.

If you know your bridesmaids’ dresses are rather odd when it comes to there colors, introduce the ladies to dyeable shoes – they will love the fact that they can match their shoes perfectly with their dresses!

Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique offers you with a wide selection of wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses and groom’s tuxedoes that look magical. Come and visit us and worry not about the shoes – the dyeable option will always be there to “rescue” you!
