Jasmine Bridal T440: BEST NEW STYLE FOR 2011

It's finally in....the dress you've all been calling, asking and begging us to get. This gown is one of the most wanted gowns for 2011.

Jasmine Bridal dress T440 has a trumpet silhouette made from a taffeta fabric. Many different body types would look beautiful in this gown because of the fan style neckline and V shape as well as the the bodice completely wraps the body from the top to the lower hip. Once the dress reaches the hip the skirt flows out to a field of flowers. Within all of the flowers are beaded crystals and pearls. Jasmine Bridal did a fantastic job targeting a fashion forward bride with timeless classic contemporary lines.

This gown will sure be the talk of your family and friends with it's overall WOW factor. With not a whole lot of bead work this gown makes a statement without going overboard. Many designers have created these fuller floral skirts for the 2011 season, and this happens to be one of our favorites.

In our store we have a poster of the gown in the window and everyone always stop to stare at it, ask questions about it and just drool over it. We are amped and very excited to be replacing that poster with the real deal!

If you'd like to schedule an appointment at The Bridal House to come try on this gown and many other styles by Jasmine Bridal, Allure Bridal and Mori Lee please call or e-mail to see what time works best for you.

Note: For the month of April & May
we are open on Tuesdays till 7pm for your convenience.

Wedding Gowns 101: Mermaid vs. Trumpet

This age old question: Mermaid vs. Trumpet...has brides confused and lost when wanting to know what style of dress to ask for when they go shopping... Here's what I've experienced and let's see if it could help you choose what style fits you!

MERMAID

Allure Bridals #8700

This mermaid design by Allure Bridals is romantic, classic and sassy. It has a detailed sweetheart neckline covered in crystals and beading. In this stunning ivory color you can make a bold yet elegant statement. Ladies can opt to remove the flowers around the knees if they choose to. The surprise about this dress is that the skirt can be removed to become a fun little cocktail dress for your reception. We carry this any many other Allure Bridal gowns at The Bridal House! (pictures of this gown can be see on Allure Bridals website by clicking on the links given)

I often have brides ask me “what if any difference is there between a mermaid and a trumpet wedding gown?” Brides automatically think that if the dress hugs the body it’s a mermaid gown. Yes, to a certain degree this is true. A mermaid style does hug your body, BUT it flairs out at the knee. Whereas, a trumpet or fit and flair designed wedding dress is shaped through the hips to about mid thigh and then flairs slightly. These specific styles might be best worn on smaller more petite brides, although if you want to show off your curves either of these silhouettes would be benefit you greatly.
Both of these silhouettes seem to be scary to some brides, but personally I believe that these dresses allow a woman to feel bold and beautiful!

TRUMPET

Allure Bridals #8750

This trumpet style gown by Allure Bridals is very distinctive with its jeweled neckline. Not quite a strapless yet a subtle beaded one shoulder gives a it modern twist. The dress has a wrapped bodice which will accentuate the body in a stunning way. The little bow florets are just enough to give this dress some detail but not making it over the top. This dress can be ordered in various colors as well as the bow florets can be removed.

So ladies if your looking for a Trumpet or Mermaid style wedding dress come into The Bridal House and try on a few of our dresses. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised what you will find...and remember all of our designer dresses are $1800 and under!
