Couture Bridal Gown of the Week

I have never been a fan of the big, Cinderella poofy dress. I always wanted a sexy dress that would show off my figure. I also thought that a big dress would swallow me and I would disappear however, when I saw this gown I fell in love. Of course I am nowhere near traditional. I have to be different and unique with everything that I do so if I could buy a dress all over again, it would be this spring 2010 collection "Dorothy" Vera Wang. This is a gown that will make your guest gasp for air when they see you walk down the aisle ;)

Chic Couture

Look what I found while browsing Forever 21. These dresses are chic and yet oh so couture all for under $30. Like I said before, couture doesn't mean expensive. They can be worn for your bridal shower, rehearsal, bachelorette party or you can change and get sexy like Christina Aguilera did at your reception in one of these mini's. Not to mention you can where one of these dresses over and over again and even on a dinner date with hubby ;)

Couture Fashion: Jim Hjelm Trunk Show

Bridal Boutique of Baton Rouge is hosting a Jim Hjelm bridal collection trunk show on Oct. 15- Oct.-26 for all you brides looking for a discount on a dream designer gown. Bustles and Bows in Metairie will be hosting a bridesmaid collection trunk show on Nov. 6-Nov. 8. I bought my amazing Monique Lhuillier gown during a trunk show at a bridal salon in Miami, FL and I received a 10% discount as well as free alterations which can run into the high hundreds even thousands sometimes. Always ask for extras. The worst they can say is "No." For the bride that has a large wedding dress budget and even not so large but would sell an organ to get that perfect designer gown lol,  I would suggest going to a trunk show of you fave designer and trying on all their gowns. 

The Avery is BACK!!!

This has to be one of the most hard to get, most popular destination wedding dresses EVER!!! I wanted this dress for my day after session in Jamaica and stalked Ebay and trash-to-treasure websites with no such luck. It has been sold out for the longest time until now. If I were to have my wedding all over again, I would wear this dress. It is so simple yet chic and sexy all at the same time. J. Crew has a wide variety of dresses for any bride looking for a beautiful yet affordable wedding dress. Their dresses range from $325-$2995. Many brides will order a few different dresses and try them on in the privacy of their own home without a pushy sales rep, choose their dress and ship the rest back. Very simple.
