Katy Perry - Wedding Dress with Sleeves?

The pics haven't been released just yet for Mrs. Brand's wedding dress.  But I was slightly giddy when I read that she chose a wedding dress with sleeves - YES a wedding dress with sleeves!!!!  Not enough material to be considered modest enough for the brides we typically see - but I'm so excited that it wasn't strapless. 

I'm so glad that Mrs. Brand doesn't look like so many other brides that wear strapless gowns. 

Did Katy set a new trend?

St. Louis Riverfront Times - Best Bridal Shop 2010

The St. Louis Riverfront Times is a fairly progressive publication, which makes this award even nicer.  I am so excited that our little bridal shop won Best Bridal Shop for 2010.  Here is the link:

RiverFront Times 2010 Best Bridal Shop Award


The editor was spot-on.  Vera Wang's new collection is strapless and until there is a major designer such as Ms. Wang, creating new designs that are not strapless, the trend will continue. 

I am very grateful that we won Best Bridal Shop as a Modest-only committment store. There is a need for modest wedding gowns - and we are so happy to help serve this need.

Thank you Riverfront Times!

Sophia and Camilla - New Bridal Line

At Market this past weekend, I spent several hours going booth to booth in search for modesty.  Out of the thousands of new wedding dresses on display, there was one designer that qualified for our shop - with being consistent with our modesty standards.
In the modest bridal industry there are only a handful of designers that choose to offer modest wedding gowns, so I was already familiar with this line.  This was the first opportunity, I had to see the dresses and meet the owner.
I'm really happy to announce that sample gowns from this lovely designers will be here by the end of the year.  The designs we chose are lovely and think our brides will also love the fashionable bridal gowns.

Personally, I was terribly disappointed that there were only 2 designers that even remotely had options that were not strapless.

Contact us if you have any questions about our new fun designer.
