What is your Wedding Gown Style?

From my work at Moliere (the Bridal Boutique) I had the ability to work around a series of different gowns.  It is very interesting to me to see which direction Brides will go in sometimes, but usually it fits their personality just right.  At Moliere we had six different designer gowns each very unique in style.

Mikaela-  These gowns were absolutely gorgeous.  A little on the pricey side, but you would not be disappointed with your pick.  The fabric is a light satin, and most of her gowns are VERY simple with maybe a few ruffles here and there.  All gowns are very fitted and usually mermaid style.  My sister wore a Mikaela gown in her wedding and it was absolutely stunning!  Mermaid gowns fit well on busty brides with more curvaceous figures.

La Sposa-  Doesn't the name sound fantastic?  These dresses all have a "Spanish Flair" to them.  With deilicate beading, tull, and lace, these dresses have just about everything.  The fit of the dresses consist of A-line, Mermaid, and Ball Gown.  One of my favorite dresses was a La Sposa.  It was a fit-to-flair with head to toe lace.  However, fit-to-flair usually works better for a taller bride.  :( 

2Be-  These gowns were all over the place.  There was not a signature sell point for these gowns.  I usually told brides that these gowns offered you a wide selection of anything you were looking for.  Usually brides that were unsure of what they were looking for started here because it narrowed down their selection. 

Allure-  If you love beading and want to feel like a princess this is your gown.  Extrinsic beading and gorgeous princess-like gowns are what Allure specializes in.  The beading is a definite selling point because it is jaw-dropping.  Most of the gowns were ball gown, but they had a very unique sheath gown which had a lace overlay.  It was a huge seller because it is so unique and carried a vintage vibe which is so popular right now.

Justin Alexander-  Justin Alexander is an INCREDIBLE designer.  His gowns are always beautiful.  He offered short cocktail like wedding gowns which are slowly making their way into popularity.  He also had a few gowns which offered a bolero jacket to cover the bride's shoulders.  These were always a good pick for a bride getting re-married or an older bride. 

Maggie Sottero-  Of course everyone knows about Maggie dresses.  Three out of four brides requested her dresses.  Maggie is another awesome designer with dresses that were flawless in style.  Her dresses were all very different and offered a range of fit and style.  She incorporated silk in some of her gowns which is very beautiful.  Her dresses are reasonably priced for the quality of gown that you are buying.

So along with this advice and my guidance, maybe this can make it a tid bit easier to pick the dress of your dreams!  We all know it can be a complicating process, but remember you will look beautiful on your day no matter what!
