OneWed Best Vendor of 2009

Yesterday I received a letter from OneWed, (one of my favorite bridal websites), that Chatfields Bridal Boutique won the Best of 2009 Vendor award! Yippee!

A special Thank You to many of our brides that wrote a glowing review about the store.

Michelle Duggar and a Strapless Wedding Dress

I saw the video of Michelle Duggar going to Kleinfelds in New York searching for a wedding dress to renew her vows. I wonder if the Producers of the Network selected Kleinfelds as "Say Yes to the Dress" is also on the TLC Network.
However, I was still sad to see Michelle looking at strapless dresses. When the dress was finished, to me, it was still a strapless dress with material underneath.
There are some fantastic bridal stores that feature only modest wedding dresses. I've mentioned before in previous posts other all-modest bridal stores.
Of course as a modest bridal store owner, I would have loved to have shown her our fantastic styles that did not require serious alterations.
A designer creates a strapless wedding dress design, it was not meant to have a modest neckline and sleeves - it was meant to be strapless.

Kleinfelds is an amazing bridal store. Their website states that they have the most bridal gowns in the world. Out of all of those incredible gowns, they didn't have ONE dress that was considered modest enough for Michelle?

Interesting.

Kevin Jonas and a Modest Bride

I had read a while back that the Jonas brothers preferred girls that dressed modestly. I was happy that a very popular "boy band" would prefer a modest girl.
That's why I was a little dissappointed that Kevin's bride chose a strapless Vera Wang wedding gown.
What is your opinion? Can a modest bride wear a strapless wedding dress?

It is her choice to wear whatever makes her feel beautiful and glamourous on her wedding day.

Happy New Year

To all our 2009 and 2010 brides, thank you so much for purchasing your modest wedding gown from Chatfields Bridal Boutique.

Your support enables us to expand our modesty lines and take on new designs.

We pray that you also have a wonderful and prosperous 2010.

Thank you for choosing modesty on your wedding day.
