Our Bride Julianne

Julianne flew all the way from Arkansas to see us


and we are so happy she did!


Julianne is the type of Bride we LOVE working with.

Not only is she beautiful


but she is smart. 
(she works at the headquarters of one of the biggest companies in the world)


Most importantly?

She's fun!


Julianne fell in love with an incredible strapless, silk satin gown, but she wanted sleeves.

This is where our Seamstresses come in.


We added flawless sleeves that looked like the gown was designed that way.
(You know that's what we're known for, right?)

Her Wedding was on a beautiful fall day and was captured perfectly by 


You were so much fun to work with, Julianne!


Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

Our Bride Kiana

It's amazing how a wedding gown can just fit a Bride.


And not just in a "that gown looks FABULOUS on you" way, but in a 
"that gown is perfect for you" way.


Even if you don't know our Bride Kiana, in these beautiful photos taken by
you can tell that this gown was made for her.


Kiana fell in love with this gown, but it wasn't quite what she needed.


That's when our seamstresses swooped in and made it her perfect dress.
(Please excuse the obvious pun, but do you see why we called our shop
The Perfect Dress? 
That's good Marketing, people!)



And who doesn't wish that they could have wedding photos
done on the beach?



Congrats Kiana!


Thanks for sharing your special day with all of us!

Destination Wedding? How To Get Your Wedding Gown There Safely.

 Over the years, Destination Weddings have surged in popularity.  

We would say about 4 out of every 10 brides we work with are getting married somewhere other than their hometown. 

 A question that we are constantly asked is 
"How do I safely get my dress to my destination?" 

Here is how. 

 First off NEVER and we mean NEVER pack your gown in your checked luggage.  

Have you flown Delta lately?  

Pretty sure they lose one of our bags every time we fly with them.  


   See. This kid flew on Delta.

 We have heard of Brides getting their luggage lost and resorting to buying the first white dress they saw when they got to their location.  

You want to take your dress as your carry on and don't get pressured into buying a special piece of luggage for you dress.  Just make sure that you have a breathable cotton-like garment bag to put your dress in.  

Don't get the plastic ones.  They tear easily and always give the gowns a funky smell. 

Secondly, don't let the dress out of your sight.  

Now brides, don't go too overboard on this, but just make sure that you know where it is at all times.  

If you stop by and grab a greasy, disgustingly delicious mess we like to refer to as a "Cinnabon", give yourself a high five and put the dress on a chair next to you until you are finished devouring it.  Don't leave it with your mom or FiancĂ© to look after it. 

 Third, as you board the plane inform the flight attendant that you have your wedding gown and ask where you should put it.  The key here is to be kind.  If you're not, it's going in the overhead bin.  If you are, they will hang in their little closet that they have for the flight attendants and pilots. 



 
Really American Airlines? 

Remember Brides, you get more flies with honey than vinegar. 

 That's it.  

Not too hard is it? 

 All you have to do is keep your seat backs and tray tables up until take off and you are ready to go. 

 Oh. 

 And does anyone else think it's kinda funny to have a life vest under your seat in case of a water evacuation?  We mean, unless you're flying with Captain Sully, I don't think you will be needing it.


 And don't even get us started with using the seat cushion for a flotation device.  

We think we'll pass. 

Gross.
