Veering Away From White – can I wear a colored wedding dress?

Weddings are getting less traditional for some, and people are feeling much less confined by convention and going for something  a little different for their big day, and this can include their dress.  Not all wedding dresses are long these days, and not all of them are white or even ivory now.  

If you have a favourite color, it doesn’t have to be an ‘accent color,’ you could make it your main color, and create a splash with a colored wedding dress.  There are two main way to do this.

Subtly: There are plenty of wedding dresses and gowns in a very light shade of a colour, such as a shell pink, beige or egg shell.  Using a color such as this means you can keep a more conventional look but without being painted into a corner with white.

Boldly: There are plenty of dresses as bold as scarlet, or with patterns, and if you want to make a real statement and are not afraid to be brave you can go all out.  If you can’t find anything in the color that you want, there are always lots of bridesmaid’s dresses to look at as a wedding gown or dress.

Real Bride - Rebecca's Vision of Lace

Rebecca came to us with specifications; She needed a temple build up, and a beautiful gown. After finding a stunning and simple lace dress, (referred to at the store as the “chunky lace"dress) we had one requirement taken care of…

 Rebecca did some gown research, and decided that she wanted to go with a lined half sleeve, taking care of her other requirement! So now that we had worked out the type of sleeve she envisioned, we turned the creative process over to Suzanne, our AMAZING seamstress. 

Rebecca gave us her vision and  her gown was everything she hoped and wished it would be! If you have any special requirements, we can help!

Nikki: Country Elegant Wedding in Northern Arizona

 I met Nikki months ago, when she came into our bridal boutique having sort of an idea of what she was looking for... but like many newly engaged shoppers not sure what she'd find - until she tried on this Maggie Sottero creation:

 It was her dress... perfect in every way... flattering... beautifully detailed... simple yet unique.

She knew her wedding day would be a celebration of love...  filled with family and friends,

 

She knew her style country elegant, Kohl's Ranch was as comfortable a spot as her boots!

 Her flowers - soft, colorful yet natural, whispering like a gentle rain or wispy mountain breeze.

  

I completely love the classic touch of pearls, they compliment her smile.

 

 

 

Nikki - You did it! It's a beautiful day, just like you, you'll never forget how it all began.  I wish you both years of holding hands and swinging through life together! Best wishes my friend - Jen

Finding the Perfect Fabric for Your Wedding Gown

The perfect wedding gown is more than just the right style. It's also the right fabric. Finding the right fabric can help you figure out which dress is right for you.

There are lots of different fabrics used in wedding dresses, and many dresses will use more than one fabric to achieve a design. Knowing a bit about the types of fabric can help you know what to look for when you try on a gown.

The best way to learn about fabrics is to get to a fabric store or bridal boutique and get hands on. Touching different types of cloth will give you the best idea of what you like the feel of. Remember you'll be wearing the dress all day, so choose something you're comfortable with, and that will handle the day you have planned.

If you want to know more about materials used in wedding gowns, come by Suzanne's Bridal Boutique. our experts can help you learn more and find your perfect wedding dress, so give us a call today!

Get Keira Knightley's Wedding Day Look!

When Keira Knightley and James Righton got married in France earlier in the month, they surprised people for a few reasons. First, with only 11 guests at the ceremony, it was smaller than expected. Second, Keira's dress raised some eyebrows.

Her short blush dress was perfect for her big day -- fun, glamorous, and a bit relaxed -- but it wasn't what people were expecting. As the face of Chanel, many thought she'd be wearing a fabulous new gown designed especially for her by Karl Lagerfeld. Instead, her dress might have been previously worn to a Bafta party in 2008.

Whether it was pre-worn or not, the tulle gown was gorgeous and something that many brides want for their wedding day. Short dresses are a great choice, especially for summer ceremonies. If you're planning a relaxed wedding, they can get you in the mood to party and really celebrate with your new husband.

If you're looking for the perfect short dress here in Arizona, look no further! Come by Suzanne's Bridal Boutique today to see what we have to offer!

Shenae Grimes' Black Wedding Dress

This week, 90210 star Shenae Grimes married musician and model Josh Beech in a small ceremony in England. While the couple chose a lot of non-traditional aspects, the one that probably stood out the most was the bride's black wedding dress.

Shenae wore a halter-neck gown from Vera Wang's Fall 2012 collection. That collection, designed after Wang's own marriage ended, was notable for its use of black. While many Vera Wang runway collections feature dramatic -- and dark -- hues, the black and blush collection of Fall 2012 was the ultimate.

Rather than opt for a custom-designed white gown, like many celebrity brides might have done, Shenae went straight from the collection. We think she demonstrated just how bridal black can look, too. Paired with pulled back soft curls and a deep red bouquet, she certainly stood out as the bride!

What do you think of Shenae's dress choice? Would you consider wearing a black dress for your wedding day? Do you like the idea of wearing something a bit out of the ordinary? Let us know in the comments.

If you're an Arizona bride looking for the perfect dress for your big day, get in touch!

How Your Hairstyle Effects Your Dress

Did you know that how you wear your hair can change how your wedding dress looks on you? Whether it's flowing locks, a classic chignon, or a vibrant hue, when you change your hairstyle it will change the overall look of your wedding gown, too. This is why it can be important to keep your hair in mind when trying on dresses.

The style you choose for your wedding day can work with or against your dress style. Knowing what your dress looks like with your hair up and down can help you make a decision. If you're set on an updo, a strapless dress might look too bare. If you're wearing your hair down, its neckline might get lost.

Color is another big factor to consider. Many brides decide to change their hair color for their big day, not realizing that it can also change their overall coloring. This can mean that a white dress will look washed out, and that an ivory gown becomes the perfect choice, or vice versa.

If you haven't chosen your hairstyle by the time you come to Suzanne's Bridal Boutique to find your perfect wedding dress, don't worry! Come prepared, though, and bring some clips or hairbands so you can check out each dress with your hair up and with your hair down so you can get an idea of the overall perfect look for your big day.

Whatever hairstyle you'll wear on your wedding day, Arizona brides can find the perfect gown at our boutique! To find out more about what we offer, give us a call!
