height: 463px; border-width: 0pt; border-style: solid; margin: 5px; float: right;" />he Angela’s Bridal Dress of the Week, Tara Keely #2203, is a fabulous gown with stunning accents unlike any other dress! </p> <p> With a very simple shape, silhouette and style, this gown’s features give a couture bridal feel. </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> This accent portrays how heavily influenced this designer was by Spanish style throughout the process of creating this particular line.  </p> <p> <br /> Lazaro was the first to introduce the new material, Mikado, which is the latest craze throughout the wedding dress industry!  This material is extremely rich and luxurious, but is also a great fabric that accentuates a woman’s figure. </p> <p> This strapless sweetheart neckline also looks fabulous on many body types, along with the pleated empire bodice and corseted back. </p> <p> A gown with a corseted back is perfect for a wedding dress, as it creates structure and helps to create that amazing shape along the waist-line. </p> <p> The diamond encrusted toggles bring a unique feature to a lace-up corset, and also adds some “bling”.  <br /> This is an understated gown, but of course has some elements that add something extra. </p> <p> The designer has taken some of the creativity he uses while designing his primary line Lazaro, and brings the look, shape and sophistication from that line to The Tara Keely Collection at a more moderate price point. </p> <p> He has created the style, for less to accommodate brides who still strive for the look he is known world-wide for creating. <br /> <br /> Brides if you love Tara Keely and style #2203 as much as we do please call Angela’s Bridal (518) 869-1848 and make your appointment to try on this gown for yourself! </p> <p> We are hosting The Tara Keely Trunk Show this weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 30 – 31st.  This is the perfect opportunity to see what this line has to offer! </p> <p> Additional dresses will be in store for the weekend ONLY and special promotions will apply!  You do not want to miss out!  We cannot wait to make your dream dress come true!<br />  </p> <br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/49/Dress-of-the-Week-Tara-Keely-2203.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/3/Default.aspx>New Gowns</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/6/Default.aspx>Brides</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/8/Default.aspx>Events</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Wedding Fashions New Gowns Brides Events http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/49/Dress-of-the-Week-Tara-Keely-2203.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/49/Dress-of-the-Week-Tara-Keely-2203.aspx Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:24:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=49 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/47/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-2-Purples-Tans-and-Pinks-Reds.aspx <p> As we said, the possibilities are endless and there is no right or wrong when it comes to creating your dream wedding! <br /> <br /> 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!<br /> <br /> In this look we have chosen a color palate of cool tones, purples and tans.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/blog%20imG/pnt.jpg" style="width: 584px; height: 473px; float: left; margin: 7px;" /> Choosing numerous colors can work to your advantage because not everyone looks good in the same color! </p> <p> 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.</p> <p> The only difference between these two materials is a matte or sheeness to the colors.  We have mixed up the necklines but have stuck with the same length.<br /> <br /> We have chosen a blush color palate in this look, sticking with shades of pinks and reds.  Again, we have chosen all chiffon or luminescent chiffon gowns, and chose a variety of different necklines.  In this particular look the lengths vary. </p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/blog%20imG/pnr.jpg" style="width: 582px; height: 433px; margin: 7px; float: left;" /><br /> You can determine who wears what length by comfort level of each bridesmaid, or you could put maid or matron of honor in long and the others in short, or vice versa. Whatever works for you and your party!<br /> <br /> In our next bridesmaids blog we’ll cover cool and smoky tones.<br /> <br /> Call Angela’s Bridal today at (518) 869-1848.  We cannot wait to make your dream dress plans come true!<br /> <br /> Jess – Bridal Consultant</p> <br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/47/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-2-Purples-Tans-and-Pinks-Reds.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/1/Default.aspx>Tips & Tricks</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/5/Default.aspx>Bridesmaids</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Tips & Tricks Wedding Fashions Bridesmaids http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/47/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-2-Purples-Tans-and-Pinks-Reds.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/47/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-2-Purples-Tans-and-Pinks-Reds.aspx Tue, 20 Mar 2012 02:34:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=47 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/46/Dress-of-the-Week-Lazaro-3217.aspx <img alt="" width="321" height="428" src="/Portals/0/blog%20imG/Angelas-bridal-lazaro-3217.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 7px;" />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!  <br /> <br /> 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.  <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> Lazaro is the creator and king of the drop-waist silhouette, as he introduced the style to the bridal industry.  <br /> <br /> The circular skirt of the dress is also made of tulle, and is extremely dramatic and regal.  <br /> <br /> The bottom truly gives this feeling, as the volume created by the tulle, along with a chapel train, makes this more than a garment of clothing, but a work of art. <br />  <br /> This gown is featured as one of the statement pieces in Lazaro’s Spring 2012 Collection!  Here at Angela’s Bridal we agree and also adore it so much, that we featured it in our 2012 commercial, that can be seen during “Say Yes to the Dress” on Friday nights!  <br /> <br /> If you love this gown as much as we do, please call Angela’s Bridal today at (518) 869-1848 to set up an appointment to come in and try on this gown for yourself!  <br /> <br /> We are even hosting a Lazaro Trunk Show this month, Friday and Saturday, March 23rd & 24th.  <br /> <br /> Special dresses not typically in store will be available and fabulous promotions will apply that weekend only!  Do not wait!  Appointments are booking up fast!  <br />  <br /> We cannot wait to make your dream dress come true!  <br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/46/Dress-of-the-Week-Lazaro-3217.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/3/Default.aspx>New Gowns</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Wedding Fashions New Gowns http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/46/Dress-of-the-Week-Lazaro-3217.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/46/Dress-of-the-Week-Lazaro-3217.aspx Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:30:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=46 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/45/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-1.aspx <img alt="" width="248" height="345" src="/Portals/0/blog%20imG/3136.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 7px;" />Here at Angela’s Bridal we are constantly following the upcoming trends of the wedding world, and of course creating our own!  <br /> <br /> The latest and we think one of the greatest in a while is the new trend for Bridesmaid styles!  Between Brides and Bridesmaids that visit Angela’s Bridal, Brides we have met at the many wedding shows this season, Jim Hjelm , Lazaro, Alvina Valenta and Bill Levkoff Runway Shows, and of course various Bridal Magazines, the latest craze is straying away from the typical.  <br /> <br /> Brides are no longer asking all of the girls in their party to be in the same dress, same color, same everything!  Brides are taking a risk, and doing something completely different, which we LOVE!  <br /> <br /> There are many different ways this trend can be accomplished, and there is no right or wrong way for a Bride to select styles for their girls, but Angela’s Bridal has some tips and tricks which may be helpful!  <br /> <br /> We feel that Brides should first choose a color palate.  You want to pick colors that will work with your dress, venue, and overall theme of your wedding.  Staying with a few similar colors that complement each other and look great together will still allow your bridal party to coordinate.  <br /> <br /> Your goal is to still make your bridal party look like a unit as a whole in pictures, while standing next to you during your vows, and basically throughout your whole event.  You have chosen these girls to share one of the most important days of your life with you for a reason, and you want them to stand out to signify their importance! <br />  <br /> When it comes to choosing gowns, we feel that sticking with a single, specific fabric is best.  For example, you could choose chiffon, and then choose different colors, necklines or lengths, or all three!  <br /> <br /> We feel that sticking with one common denominator when creating your girls look will still create a uniform for your bridal party.  Once the fabric is chosen, the possibilities are endless!  <br /> <br /> If you are the type of bride who loves this trend, and feels it is right for you and your big day, choosing a gown for each girl is essential.  This can really be a great advantage!  You can choose gowns that are right for each girl’s body type.  <br /> <br /> If one of your girls are larger busted, give them straps or a one shoulder to minimize and also provide comfort.  If one is self-conscious or has a larger waist, choose a dress with rouching.  This is great because you or your girls can choose what they look and feel best in!  It is so true that when you feel great, you look great, and of course you want your besties to feel this way on your wedding day!  <br /> <br /> In our next bridesmaids blog we’ll share some ideas on applying this concepts to your bridesmaids.<br /> <br /> Call Angela’s Bridal today at (518) 869-1848.  We cannot wait to make your dream dress plans come true!<br /> <br /> Jess – Bridal Consultant<br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/45/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-1.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/5/Default.aspx>Bridesmaids</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Bridesmaids http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/45/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-1.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/45/Bridesmaids-Mix-Up-Part-1.aspx Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:07:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=45 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/44/Get-Lucky-with-our-St-Patricks-Day-Promotion.aspx <img alt="" height="411" width="309" style="float: right; margin: 7px;" src="/Portals/0/blog%20imG/bridal-gown-st-patricks-day.jpg" />In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Angela’s Bridal is celebrating Saturday, March 17th, 2012!  <br /> <br /> Brides are you feeling lucky?  Would you like to wish your way into your dream dress?  <br /> <br /> Join us at Angela’s Bridal where the luck of the Irish will be on your side!  Reach into our Pot-O-Gold and select an Angela’s Bridal gift coin!  <br /> <br /> Brides call (518) 869-1848 today to make your appointment!  <br /> <br /> You do not want to miss out on this lucky day!  <br /> <br /> We cannot wait to make your dream dress come true!  <br /> <br /> Erin Go Bragh!<br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/44/Get-Lucky-with-our-St-Patricks-Day-Promotion.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/4/Default.aspx>Press</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Press http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/44/Get-Lucky-with-our-St-Patricks-Day-Promotion.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/44/Get-Lucky-with-our-St-Patricks-Day-Promotion.aspx Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:15:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=44 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/43/Bridal-Gown-Trends-for-2012.aspx <img alt="" height="276" width="370" src="/Portals/0/blog%20imG/Bridal-gown-trends-2012.jpg" style="width: 370px; height: 276px; float: right; margin: 7px;" />Gorgeous gowns have been arriving daily at Angela’s Bridal from each of our designers Spring 2012 Collections, and we are super excited!  These brand new dresses are cutting edge, straight from top designers around the world, and are now available at Angela’s Bridal! <br /> <br /> The latest trends seen not only on the runway, but also at bridal shows, in bridal magazines and throughout the wedding industry this season is modern lace, soft sleeves, feathers, black accents, and different necklines!  These looks are the latest designs that have adapted into virtually every line, and they are here to stay!<br /> <br /> Lace has always been a staple in bridal gowns.  It is a very classic and timeless look that will never go out of style.  Designers such as Pronovias and Lazaro have put a modern twist on the quintessential fashion.<br /> <br /> They have transformed many lace creations into very chic, fashion forward gowns, while still embodying that timeless feel that many brides strive for.  Spring 2012 styles have now given brides the opportunity to take the risk and be a “fashionista” on their wedding day, while still feeling and embodying the classic bridal look that most envision.  Brides, feeling as if you just stepped off the runway at fashion week while still making Mom, Dad and Grandma happy, allow you to have the best of both worlds!<br /> <br /> Along with lace, soft sleeves are also a bridal trend that cannot go unnoticed this season!  It may have been Princess Kate, who helped launch this bridal trend into a craze, but here at Angela’s Bridal we are loving these looks!  There are many different ways sleeves can be worn on your wedding day.  Either as long and romantic lace or sheer sleeves with delicate beading this look is fabulous especially for early spring or winter weddings! <br /> <br /> This season designers have experimented with various necklines.  Whether it’s one shoulder, high neck, cowl neck, V-neck, sweetheart, or scoop, brides are not limited when it comes to choosing their favorite look! While shopping for your dream dress, be sure to not only try on different silhouettes, but also numerous necklines to discover what looks best on your body type.  <br /> <br /> The bridal gown market has transformed drastically over the past few years, and designers have also been experimenting with mediums and colors.  Feathers are being used, adding texture to gowns.  This is very different and unlike any look from the past. <br /> <br /> The feathers provide a soft, romantic touch keeping the bridal look that also adds a high fashion element.  Adding a splash of color is also very prevalent and black accents such as a belt or sash allows a bride to look extremely chic! <br /> <br /> If you love this trend and wish to rock it on your wedding day, but feel it maybe too much for your traditional ceremony, wear the belt during your reception.  It will allow you to have two wedding styles on your big day, and will also give you a more playful feel during your celebration!  <br /> <br /> Here at Angela’s Bridal we are constantly following the trends, while also creating our very own!  If you love the latest from our designers and want to see more for yourself, please call Angela’s Bridal today to make your appointment (518) 869-1848!  <br /> <br /> We cannot wait to make your dream dress come true! <br /> <br /> Jess Bridal Consultant<br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/43/Bridal-Gown-Trends-for-2012.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/1/Default.aspx>Tips & Tricks</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/3/Default.aspx>New Gowns</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Tips & Tricks Wedding Fashions New Gowns http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/43/Bridal-Gown-Trends-for-2012.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/43/Bridal-Gown-Trends-for-2012.aspx Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:58:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=43 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/42/Dress-of-the-Week-Lazaro-3161.aspx <p class="MsoNormal"><img alt="" width="300" height="401" src="../../../../../../../../../Portals/0/Lazaro_3161.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 401px; float: right; margin: 5px;" />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! <br /> <br /> Once again designer Lazaro has created a masterpiece, experimenting with alternative mediums and materials!<br /> <br /> 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! <br /> <br /> Lazaro uses the organza to create hundreds of beautiful and extremely delicate flowers with Swarovski crystal accents scattered throughout. <br /> <br /> 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!<br /> <br /> On-top, the dress features a strapless sweetheart neckline with a sheer, corset-style, heavily jewel encrusted bodice, perfect for any bride looking for that “bling”! <br /> <br /> This gown is for sure one of a kind!  <br /> <br /> Call Angela’s Bridal today at (518)869-1848 to make an appointment to try on Lazaro style #3161 for yourself!  There are still appointments available for our super sweet Valentine’s Day Event going on this Saturday, February 11th, 2012!

It possesses classic, traditional characteristics as well, such as covered buttons and a chapel train, which is also hand-beaded lace and English netting.</font></p> <p><font size="2">This dress truly is a piece of wearable art.

A trunk show is a very special event where a specific wedding designer will provide Angela's Bridal, with their latest line of gowns.</p> <p>Trunk shows typically only last for a short period of time, such as a weekend or possibly a little longer depending on demand and popularity of that particular show.</p> <p>Trunk shows are great opportunities for brides to find their perfect dress, as most bridal boutiques,only carry a select group of designers and not every dress from their collection. Trunk shows allow brides to see and try on dresses they wouldn't ordinarily see in the store.</p> <p>Brides can benefit a great deal from attending a trunk show because these dresses are only available for a short period of time at the boutique, which allows brides to be in an exclusive gown that no other girls will have. </p> <p>Other benefits during a trunk show are special promotions apply to purchases made. As well as the designer may allow for one custom design made to your dress such as a raised neckline, splitting a size or adding covered buttons down your dress. </p> <p>Here at Angela's Bridal we attempt to hold trunk shows as much as possible at our boutique! Trunk shows are planned well in advance, but book up very quickly! If you find yourself tending to be drawn or attracted to a certain designer, do your research, and book your appointments as soon as possible!! </p> <p>Trunk shows that we have coming up at Angela’s Bridal that you won’t want to miss:</p> <p><strong>Allure Bridal and Allure Couture November 18-19</strong></p> <p><strong>Paloma Blanca and Mikaella Bridal November 25-26</strong></p> <p><strong>Alvina Valenta</strong> <strong>Bridesmaid - December 2^nd - 3^rd</strong></p><br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/34/Trunk-Show-ndash-What-is-it.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/3/Default.aspx>New Gowns</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net New Gowns Wedding Fashions http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/34/Trunk-Show-ndash-What-is-it.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/34/Trunk-Show-ndash-What-is-it.aspx Thu, 10 Nov 2011 05:13:38 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=34 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/33/Dress-of-the-Week-ndash-Lazaro.aspx <p><font size="2"><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/33/Windows-Live-Writer-Dress-of-the-WeekLazaro_898D-laz_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="laz" border="0" alt="laz" align="right" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/33/Windows-Live-Writer-Dress-of-the-WeekLazaro_898D-laz_thumb.jpg" width="294" height="391" /></a>For the dress of the week we have chosen to feature an extremely chic gown from bridal extraordinaire Lazaro.  This mermaid bridal dress is made of silk Mikado, a very rich fabric which is being used more frequently throughout the bridal industry. </font></p> <p><font size="2"> The strapless sweetheart neckline creates a very romantic feel and the elongated draped and ruched bodice will assist in making any bride feel sleek and slender.</font></p> <p><font size="2">This Lazaro gown also features various sized ruffled rosette accents, which are scattered around a dropped waist, creating a high fashion look.  </font></p> <p><font size="2">As seen in previous dresses of the week, designers have more recently been experimenting with different forms of mediums, to create very unique and modern bridal looks, never seen before on the runway.  </font></p> <p><font size="2">Covered buttons can be found cascading down the back of the dress, allowing for the gown to still have classic bridal characteristics, along with its fierce high fashion accents.  </font></p> <p><font size="2">A box pleated skirt helps to create a beautiful mermaid silhouette, elongating in the back where a chapel train completes the prefect bridal look!  </font></p> <p><font size="2">Please call Angela’s Bridal today at (518) 869-1848 to make you appointment to try on Lazaro style #3164 for yourself!  We cannot wait to make you dream dress come true! <br /></font></p><br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/33/Dress-of-the-Week-ndash-Lazaro.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/6/Default.aspx>Brides</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Brides http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/33/Dress-of-the-Week-ndash-Lazaro.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/33/Dress-of-the-Week-ndash-Lazaro.aspx Sun, 30 Oct 2011 13:52:10 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=33 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/32/Dress-of-the-week-Paloma-Blanca-4214.aspx <p><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/32/Windows-Live-Writer-Dress-of-the-week--Paloma-Blanca_11EA3-Paloma_Blanca_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Paloma Blanca" border="0" alt="Paloma Blanca" align="right" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/32/Windows-Live-Writer-Dress-of-the-week--Paloma-Blanca_11EA3-Paloma_Blanca_thumb.jpg" width="252" height="334" /></a>Our dress of the week is another gorgeous gown from the extraordinary Paloma Blanca.

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. </p> <p>Usually, the last thing to be cut is the cost of the dress. At Angela’s Bridal we would never want our brides to settle for for a gown that they were not truly in love with. The quality of a wedding gown can most certainly be gauged by price, and should never be one of the corners cut or sacrificed. </p> <p>Here at Angela’s Bridal we pride ourselves on our strong effort to find a well made dress for every bride within their budget.</p> <h1>Announcing the Allure Bridal Line</h1> <p>Recently, we brought in the <a href="http://www.angelasbridal.nethttp://www.angelasbridal.net/Gowns/BridalGowns/Allure/tabid/125/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Allure Bridal line</a> and we absolutely love it. These gowns are made with the same quality you would find in the all the other couture lines throughout our store.  </p> <p>Allure is a great line for the budget conscious bride that wants the quality but not the price of other couture brides.

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, especially when it comes to planning your wedding.  </font></p> <p>  </p> <p> <font size="2">This can be an extremely difficult task; trying to make everyone in your wedding party happy and looking good at the same time.  Bridesmaid dresses come in an array of fabrics, colors, necklines, lengths and details just like your closest friends! <br /> <br /> Well at Angela’s Bridal, we have discovered a great way to make this an enjoyable experience with your most important girls when it comes to decision making time! </font></p> <p> <font size="2">Thinking of having a signature cocktail?  Incorporate the colors and textures from the delicious drink into your bridal party! Don’t be afraid to mix and match different colors, but you will want to stay with some of the same elements such as, the designer, fabric and style of the dress.  This will allow all your girls to look uniform without the exact same color and dress, the bridesmaid with a modern twist! <br /> <br /> We were inspired by a strawberry & mint lemonade cocktail.  We pulled inspiration from the pinks, yellows & greens and mixed them all together for a great summer look.  </font><br /> <br /> <font size="2">Check out our </font><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Gowns/BridesmaidDresses/tabid/76/Default.aspx"><font size="2">bridesmaids dresses here</font></a></p> <br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/19/Tips-Tricks-Choosing-Bridesmaids-Dresses.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/1/Default.aspx>Tips & Tricks</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/5/Default.aspx>Bridesmaids</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Wedding Fashions Tips & Tricks Bridesmaids http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/19/Tips-Tricks-Choosing-Bridesmaids-Dresses.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/19/Tips-Tricks-Choosing-Bridesmaids-Dresses.aspx Thu, 14 Jul 2011 15:06:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=19 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/18/Summer-2011-Event-Win-Your-Dream-Wedding-Dress.aspx <font size="2"><font size="2"> <p> <br /><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" align="right" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/18/Windows-Live-Writer-Win-Your-Dream-Dress_A9C1-image_thumb.png" width="164" height="244" /></p> </font><font size="2">Brides, The fourth annual Win Your Dream Wedding Dress is Here!!!! </font></font> <p><font size="2">here’s your chance to win your dream dress for your dream day! </font></p> <p><font size="2">To enter: Schedule an appointment between now and August 2,  2011.

Times are changing and more recently, mothers are trying to find dresses that don't look like, 'mother of the bride'.  They don't want formal gowns with long sleeved jackets, they want a dress that is comfortable, sexy and speaks their personal style. However, they are often leaving boutiques empty handed…</p> <p><strong>Mothers Dress or Occasions Dress? <br /></strong>At Angela's Bridal we have noticed trends from the past are changing now when it comes to mothers dresses. Now, mothers are starting to wear special occasion dresses that celebrate the female figure. Leave the jackets behind and go for a simple shawl instead, who wants to be bogged down with a long sleeved jacket when they are out on the dance floor anyways? </p> <p>Fully beaded dresses are being replaced with simple gowns and more extravagant accessories to make a classic elegant statement. Being the mother of the bride or groom is an important role to play, and you want to be as confident as possible to celebrate the happy occasion.</p> <p><strong>Mothers May Offer <br /></strong>To celebrate all the moms in our lives for the month of May, Angela's Bridal is offering 15% off all mothers gown purchases. </p> <p>For more details or to schedule an appointment, call us at 518-8691848.</p> <p><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/17/Windows-Live-Writer-Mothers-Day_F7F4-AB_Mom_Blog_2_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="AB Mom Blog 2" border="0" alt="AB Mom Blog 2" align="left" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/17/Windows-Live-Writer-Mothers-Day_F7F4-AB_Mom_Blog_2_thumb.jpg" width="175" height="243" /></a><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/17/Windows-Live-Writer-Mothers-Day_F7F4-AB_Mom_Blog_3_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="AB Mom Blog 3" border="0" alt="AB Mom Blog 3" align="left" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/17/Windows-Live-Writer-Mothers-Day_F7F4-AB_Mom_Blog_3_thumb.jpg" width="176" height="244" /></a></p><br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/17/Mothers-of-Brides-and-Grooms-Day.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/1/Default.aspx>Tips & Tricks</a></div><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Tips & Tricks Wedding Fashions http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/17/Mothers-of-Brides-and-Grooms-Day.aspx#Comments 1 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/17/Mothers-of-Brides-and-Grooms-Day.aspx Fri, 06 May 2011 01:46:00 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=17 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/15/Kate-Middleton-The-Gown-and-The-Royal-Wedding.aspx <a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/15/Windows-Live-Writer-6707794c6e1e_A3DA-royal-wedding-kate-middleton-wedding_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="royal-wedding-kate-middleton-wedding" border="0" alt="royal-wedding-kate-middleton-wedding" align="right" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/15/Windows-Live-Writer-6707794c6e1e_A3DA-royal-wedding-kate-middleton-wedding_thumb.jpg" width="326" height="407" /></a> <p>“The Dress”  It truly is emotional when you see a beautiful glowing bride step out for all the world to get married to the man of her dreams. </p> <p>How can anyone say anything apart from how beautiful she is? Every bride should have the privilege of of wearing a dress that expresses the woman she is on the day she is marries her prince, never to be dictated by “what will they think? or what is that latest trend ( Unless trend matches personal style) </p>  <p>Elegant and timeless this is a classic silhouette that has stayed with us for decades and more to come, she just looked perfect, effortless. </p> <p>There will be replicas, and there will be dresses inspired by her look, (which of course we will select the best of to showcase in our store ;0)  The duchess look will always be remembered to me as her own,  and a secret that she managed to keep until the day of. It is a fundamental right every bride should have until they walk down the aisle to marry their prince.</p> <p>Let me know what you thought of the dress and the wedding in general - Janet  </p> <p><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/15/Windows-Live-Writer-6707794c6e1e_A3DA-kate-middleton-royal-wedding-dress-sarah-burton-for-alexander-mcqueen-wedding-dress-1_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="kate-middleton-royal-wedding-dress-sarah-burton-for-alexander-mcqueen-wedding-dress-1" border="0" alt="kate-middleton-royal-wedding-dress-sarah-burton-for-alexander-mcqueen-wedding-dress-1" align="left" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/15/Windows-Live-Writer-6707794c6e1e_A3DA-kate-middleton-royal-wedding-dress-sarah-burton-for-alexander-mcqueen-wedding-dress-1_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="162" /></a><a href="http://www.angelasbridal.net/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/15/Windows-Live-Writer-6707794c6e1e_A3DA-kate-middleton-wedding-dress-royal-wedding-bridal-gown-prince-william-6_2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="kate-middleton-wedding-dress-royal-wedding-bridal-gown-prince-william-6" border="0" alt="kate-middleton-wedding-dress-royal-wedding-bridal-gown-prince-william-6" align="left" src="/Portals/0/Blog/Files/3/15/Windows-Live-Writer-6707794c6e1e_A3DA-kate-middleton-wedding-dress-royal-wedding-bridal-gown-prince-william-6_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="163" /></a></p><br /><a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/15/Kate-Middleton-The-Gown-and-The-Royal-Wedding.aspx>More ...</a><div class="category">Category: <a href=http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/CatID/2/Default.aspx>Wedding Fashions</a></div> gavin@angelasbridal.net Wedding Fashions http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/15/Kate-Middleton-The-Gown-and-The-Royal-Wedding.aspx#Comments 2 http://www.angelasbridal.net/Blog/tabid/110/EntryId/15/Kate-Middleton-The-Gown-and-The-Royal-Wedding.aspx Tue, 03 May 2011 15:40:01 GMT http://www.angelasbridal.netDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=15
