This Spring Angela’s Bridal has so many fun, fashionable and exciting events for brides still in search of their dream dress! 

Not only do we have all the latest and greatest gorgeous gowns from our designer’s Spring 2012 Collections, we are also hosting numerous Trunk Shows! 

If you are not familiar with what a Trunk Show is. A trunk show is  where a designer puts on an exclusive event in our store for a limited time, (usually over a weekend) and sends the latest, hottest gowns for our brides to try on.

Sometime this means we have the entire line in store, or the latest gowns fresh from the catwalk, or the best and most popular gowns from the line.

Visiting Angela’s Bridal during a Trunk Show is not only very exciting, but also a smart time for brides to find their gown.  You get the opportunity to select and try on your gown from an entire...

The Angela’s Bridal Dress of the Week is an extremely unique and stunning Mikaella, style # 1660.  This gown is made of Mikaella satin, which is a very light weight, natural and rich fabric. 

The cap sleeves, which go slightly off the shoulder, are what make this gown stand out from all the rest, not only at Angela’s Bridal, but also throughout the wedding gown industry. 

This is the perfect gown for a bride whom is in search of something different.  Currently, many wedding dresses are strapless with a sweetheart neckline or scoop. 

If a gown does feature cap sleeves, it is typically made of lace.  Mikaella has created this beautiful satin dress, offering an alternative fabric to the brides whom wish to wear some sort of sleeve. 

This season we have seen a prominent change in neckline styles, and designers have branched out creating different looks, and this gown is a perfect example.   

...

This look uses cool tones of different shades of blues and greens, and as always we stuck with the same material.  You want to have one constant as so your girls look uniform.  We really love this look with the jeweled tones, various necklines and styles!



 

The last look we put together below uses a cool, smokey tone, amongst the luminescent chiffon gowns.  The blues and neutral tans really look great and complement each other.  Different necklines are once again used, but we really love the ruffles throughout the look!



Hopefully you now love this trend as much as we do, and have been provided with some helpful advice when it comes time to choose your...

The Angela’s Bridal Dress of the Week, Tara Keely #2203, is a fabulous gown with stunning accents unlike any other dress! 

With a very simple shape, silhouette and style, this gown’s features give a couture bridal feel. 

Tara Keely #2203 is a trumpet style gown, which is a very predominant shape throughout the 2012 Spring Tara Keely Collection, and also throughout the industry. 

Lazaro Perez, creator and designer of Tara Keely, used the trumpet style, but added something different, organza ruffles cascading down the skirt and chapel train. 

This accent portrays how heavily influenced this designer was by Spanish style throughout the process of creating this particular line.  

Lazaro was the first to introduce the new material, Mikado, which is the latest craze throughout the wedding...

As we said, the possibilities are endless and there is no right or wrong when it comes to creating your dream wedding!  We have put together some Bridesmaid looks to show you some of the possibilities.  Also, to provide a sneak peek to some of the new and great colors and fabrics that has just arrived with the Spring 2012 Collection! In this look we have chosen a color palate of cool tones, purples and tans.

Choosing numerous colors can work to your advantage because not everyone looks good in the same color! 

You can choose a shade for each girl based on their complexion and hair color.  All of these gowns are either regular chiffon or luminescent chiffon, but we have stuck with the same fabric as described.

The only difference between these two materials is a matte or sheeness to the colors.  We have mixed...

With all the magnificent and stunning gowns we have been receiving daily from our designers’ Spring 2012 Collections, it is extremely difficult to choose just one favorite!   The Dress of the Week is from Lazaro, style #3217!  This dress is uber chic, as is his entire line this season, which channels old-fashion glamour along with some vintage accents.   This beautiful bridal ball gown features silver embroidered English net over ivory tulle.  The hand-crafted detailing is extremely ornate, and will make any bride sparkle and shine!  The sweetheart neckline, with scalloping detail, provides a very romantic feel to the gown, and is paired with an elongated bodice, also known as a drop waist. Lazaro is the creator and king of the drop-waist silhouette, as he introduced the style to the bridal industry.  The circular skirt of the dress is also made of...

We have been receiving so many new dresses from each of the designers Spring 2012 collections every day that it is so hard to choose just one dress of the week! Once again designer Lazaro has created a masterpiece, experimenting with alternative mediums and materials! This week, a three-dimensional, ivory floral bridal ball gown made from organza is the essence of romance, just in time for Valentine’s Day! Lazaro uses the organza to create hundreds of beautiful and extremely delicate flowers with Swarovski crystal accents scattered throughout. The entire gown and chapel style train is so unique and stunning!  If you attended our bridal event, Visionary 2011, I’m positive you remember this gown as it is nothing short of exquisite, making any bride feel like a princess!

The dress of the week is from designer Paloma Blanca, in honor of the Trunk Show we are hosting this weekend, February 3rd & 4th, here at Angela’s Bridal.

When creating the perfect look for the most special day of a girl’s life, (your wedding day of course), the accessories chosen can make or break your look.

Standard additions to any dress are typically earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, but the latest trend being seen on the runway, are belts.

A belt can revamp any bridal gown from the traditional, simple and classic, which will never go out of style, to a more modern dress with some additional “bling”. Belts can transform any dress imaginable, completely changing the look and feel of a gown.

That is why we chose Style#8863 from our new bridal line, Allure. This gown...

Couples tying the knot are acutely aware that the costs for a wedding can quickly mount to biblical proportions. Most couples try to cut out excessive and cost wherever possible, usually this is a compromise between achieving the same look and feel without and the expense of going all out.
