Here are ten gorgeous gowns by the wonderful designers we carry that are perfect for the bride who wants to be fun and unique by adding a splash of color to her wedding gown:

No need to find an accessory to be the ‘something blue’ on your big day if your gown has a touch of blue already! The baby blue slip beneath the ivory vintage lace on this design really makes this gown stand out.

One of the most exciting things to do once you’re engaged is finding the nearest grocery or convenience store and picking up the latest bridal magazine.  We've all been there -- you run home and scour the pages of gorgeous gowns, folding down the corners to mark your favorites and you get giddy at the thought of trying on dresses in the coming weeks.  After picking up a few more magazines and reading them cover to cover you’re ready to schedule your first appointment.

It’s easy to focus on the silhouettes, fabric and details that you like, but you should also consider the designers when flipping through those pages.  What’s their price range?  What do they specialize in?  Where can you find them?  It’s best to find the designers’ authorized website to get all the details.  After perusing their website, you can use their store locator to find the nearest retailer to you.  Feel free to call the retailer and ask them questions you may have about a particular designer and then book your appointment!

Choosing designers is fun for us, too!  We do our research and pick those we know our brides will love.  I’d like to brag a bit on one of our all-time best designers -- Casablanca Bridal.  Casablanca has been with us from the early days and continues to be a true favorite for many of our brides over the years.  They have a great team behind them who work hard to produce incredible gowns. As a Casablanca bride myself, I may be a bit bias in saying that their gowns are the full package -- but seriously, they are.  The styles are nice blend of classic and fashion forward.  The fabrics are beautiful and of great quality and the structure and fit are superb.  What myself, other brides and SWAK consultants like most is the option to customize almost anything with the dress.  Brides have moments where they think they've found ‘the one’ IF ONLY they could...add straps, change the neckline, the fabric, the shape, etc. -- with Casablanca, you can do that!  

The possibilities are endless and we’re often surprised when we get ‘yes’ responses to enquiries that seemed difficult or impossible.  What’s even better is the fact that they can make your gown to your measurements.  Yes, I’m aware other designers offer this, but typically it’s at a pretty high price point and is mostly seen with couture gowns only.  It’s rare that our bodies are completely proportionate and fit perfectly into a standard sample size -- for you ladies who do, kudos to you!  The other 98% of us often need to have our gowns tailored to fit exactly how we want them.  Casablanca encourages consultants to get a series of measurements including bust, waist, and hip measurements as well as hem length to ensure that your gown is as close to fitting as possible when it arrives.

We all don’t choose the first gown we try on or have that moment when we break down in tears because we know we've found it.  Finding your gown is a process.  You want your gown to be a reflection of you, your personal style and how you want to appear and feel on your wedding day.  What better way to make it your own by customizing it to suit YOU.  

Best wishes and happy shopping!

XOXO,

Jessica
