Every little step towards contributing positively to the environment – or enhancing someone else’s life – makes a huge difference. Just imagine if every couple took one small step. Magic!
I would say that I’m a relatively sentimental person. I have my Mom’s Tussie Mussie she carried at my wedding. My wedding gown is still in a box – in the basement – collecting dust. However, despite being in a deep dark place – having not seen the light of day in 8 years – I still cannot bring myself to give it away. Okay, I’m not saying that wedding gown donation is for everyone – but for some, it may be an option.
It’s the gown you wore on one of the most important days of your life. By donating it, you are giving another Bride an opportunity to have their dream gown – on the most important day of their life. By not leaving it in your basement, under your bed, or in your garage, you will be helping a multitude of people. First, you are helping yourself, you are helping another Bride, and most importantly, you will be helping to improve the life of someone else.

Check out the website for more information about the gown donation program. The website tells you exactly how to donate one of your most treasured possessions. Make sure to check the website prior to donating. Right now, they are not accepting vintage gowns due to an overstock, but that will change. Brides Against Breast Cancer accepts donations from individuals, manufactures, and dress shops. Proceeds from each sale goes to granting wishes to families dealing with terminal breast cancer – where there are no cures – only dreams realized.

I see Bride after Bride going out to search for the “perfect” wedding gown. Wow, sometimes the “perfect” gown is so hard to find. I often wonder why Bride’s do not take advantage of professional seamstresses?
Is it more time? Not really. When you get your dress made, you have to attend a muslin fitting – and a few more fittings. You also have to attend a few fittings for a pre-made dress. Maybe you attend 2-3 more fittings (depends on the style of your dress) – but it’s custom designed for your body – and nobody has your dress. It’s something totally unique to you.
Is it more money? I guess it depends upon which budget range you are in. If you are planning on spending $250.00 on a dress – then, yes, I wouldn’t suggest that you get a dress made. However, if you are spending $1,500.00+ – why not? I have seen situations where the Bride loved a dress that was $2,500.00 in the Bridal shop. She had a dress made in pure silk – had a cathedral veil (lined in the same silk) and a bolero jacket made out the same fabric. The complete ensemble was $2,000.00.
If you want rushing, detailed bead work, or a special type of fabric – a custom dress might be the option for you.
It’s essential that you seek the help of a professional – someone who knows fabric and can offer you recommendations that will fit you and the style of your dress.
Call us and we can give you some excellent resources.

Who knew that Nordstrom had a wedding shop? It’s cool because there are some very good options for the Bride under $500.00. They also have something for your Bridesmaids, mothers, and fathers – oh my! Of course, they also have accessories for your feet, neck, head – and everything in between.

Thanks Mom!

The times are shifting in 2010 and bridal designs have followed. Women are expressing their individuality and independence- rather than conforming to “ideals” others have set – not only in their professional and personal life – but also on their wedding day. It’s out with the old, and in with the new, chic, appliqued, and sassy.
Check out all the deliciousness!

This gown is incredible. Bravo to Ivanka and Vera for creating this masterpiece.
It’s so simple in it’s design with the couture ivory fabric (they used 3 different colors of ivory) and the fabu lace. The sleeves and bodice are absolutely monumental! This gown is spells graceful, tasteful and elegant. Ivanka radiates in this gown, and this is why this gown is my pick for “best of” 2009.
Happy planning!
