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.

Cancer Survivor Bride

I've had the pleasure of meeting some incredible brides, but there are some brides that I'll never forget. I feel sometimes that I'm able to be part of the most wonderful day of their lives.

I received a note this week from a very precious bride.  She is a breast cancer survivor.  She told me that she once thought that she would never be beautiful again after struggling with chemo treatments. But after finding her dress at my shop, she felt amazing and beautiful on her wedding day. 
I cannot express enough, how much her note touched my heart. 

It's a pleasure owning this little store - pure joy!

Vera Wang does Sleeves!? Sorta

In October, Ivanka Trump married publisher Jared Kushner in a Vera Wang dress with - SLEEVES. Although they were sheer, which doesn't meet most of the modesty standards of the brides I serve; I was thrilled to see her in a bit more modest wedding dress, even if it was a tiny bit.

I love the lace and covered buttons down the back of the dress. Gorgeous.

For the wedding industry to change and move away from the strapless wedding dress, it would take a big designer like Vera Wang. Every magazine, tv show, and advertising of any kind show women in strapless dresses, so naturally that's what most brides think they are supposed to wear.

I've seen Vera's 2010 bridal collection which is almost all strapless, so another year of the strapless is what to expect.

Modest Bridal Stores

In the United States there are very few all-modest style only bridal shops. This means that the bridal store has made a commitment to serve brides that choose modesty. There are no strapless or over revealing dresses in the store.

I have had the opportunity to talk with some wonderful bridal store owners that have made the same commitment that I have.

If you're in the New Jersey area, I suggest visiting Couture De Bride owned by Tova Marc. She's an Israeli born bridal designer and her fashions are fabulous!

If you're in South Carolina, I suggest Simply Elegant owned by Dana Ellison. Mrs. Ellison is a Christian who has a passion for serving women that also choose modesty.

If you're in Texas, check out The Silver Hanger.

If you're close to Atlanta, please visit The Yellow Rose Bridal, owned by Julia Kilgore.

Of course, if you're close to the St. Louis area, I hope you will consider Chatfields Bridal Boutique..
