Congratulations to The Bridal Finery bride, Gabriela! Gabriela & Tony celebrated their special day in Cancun, Mexico surrounded by vibrant colors, butterflies, friends, and family. Our Fashion Director styled Gabriela for her colorful event. Gabriela had a vision for how she wanted to look and feel on her wedding day. Jamie was able to bring this vision to life with an illusion long sleeve and lace wedding gown by Ines Di Santo and the ‘Lazaro' Crown’ by Maria Elena Headpieces. The ‘Lazaro’ crown features butterflies made up of colorful Swarovski crystals, bringing in the overall romantic and colorful butterfly theme of the wedding. Gabriela’s crown was the final and complimenting touch to her sexy and fashion-forward bridal look as well as overall wedding.

Congratulations, Chevelle! Chevelle celebrated her wedding in St. Kitts while being surrounded by friends and family. Finding the perfect dress was a must for the gorgeous setting the island held. Chevelle was styled by Tali Gallo. Tali hand selected the ‘Morning’ gown by Ines Di Santo. Morning features a v neckline, two different types of lace, a fitted silhouette, and side slit. This gown was perfect for her romantic island wedding. Chevelle’s bridal style was completed with an over skirt by Theia. This over skirt gave Chevelle two different looks, one for ceremony and one for reception. Tali completed Chevelle’s look with accessories by Maria Elena Headpieces and a custom veil by Girl and a Serious Dream, named Chevelle, after Chevelle herself. Congratulations, Chevelle! We wish you the happiest marriage, and a happy first anniversary.

Congratulations, The Bridal Finery real bride, Ally! Ally is a bride our whole team loved styling. She lights up every room she walks in and does it in the most fabulous way. TBF Owner and Stylist, Roberta styled Ally for her wedding day. Ally wore a blush beaded Theia wedding gown that features a cold shoulder and soft flutter sleeves. Roberta completed her look with a gold crown with bow details and drop earrings by Maria Elena Headpieces and a silk tulle veil by Girl and a Serious Dream. Ally’s passion and natural eye for fashion made styling her a dream. We love Ally’s passion for styling so much that we asked her to join us for our Met Gala 2019 Facebook live coverage. Thank you, Ally for being a huge supporter of us and allowing us to be a part of your wedding. Cheers to you & Connor! Lets take a look at Ally’s wedding and her love story:

He proposed in Paris. I have always wanted my photo taken by this Parisian photographer I have been following for years. In between shots, I was fixing my hair. I see him walking toward me and whispered “I love you, honey.” followed by more beautiful words that I can’t remember because I blanked out from the shock,and just said ‘YES!’. 

When Daniele sat down for her bridal shopping appointment, she shared with me all her wedding weekend plans.. You could tell they have so much love to share that a weekend was more appropriate. I had a wedding weekend as well and instantly connected with her wedding plans. Daniele is from Brazil and her husband, Ivan, is from Honduras. They decided on a wedding weekend in Roatan, Honduras. She already found her beach wedding dress from designer Berta. When she came into The Bridal Finery she was on the hunt for her church wedding dress. It needed to still have a beach vibe but church appropriate. We really focused on finding something that was a completely different look than her Berta wedding dress

Less than ten weeks ago, Padgett walked into The Bridal Finery to find her wedding dress. I sat down to learn more about her and Greg. Instantly, I could tell this is a woman with a sophisticated style. My mind started to wonder toward the Carolina Herrera and Oscar De La Renta dresses. Within a few dress try ons she narrowed her search down to two Carolina Herrera dresses. Both suited her quite well. I pinned her hair up so she could see the full look. She went with the strapless gown providing her more flexibility to hug and dance. The other Carolina gown was beautiful on her but restricted her arms. Next came the dress fittings. Our seamstress Sarah encouraged her to wear the dress as it was designed. The dress came with a detachable skirt and can be worn several ways.

In January a stylist friend reached out to me to recommend her friend Melissa to our store. Because of who recommended her I knew Melissa was going to be our fashion-forward bride. She walked into the boutique in a nicely tailored black dress with black stiletto heels. You know I love little black dresses, so I immediately clicked with Melissa. She shared her Iceland engagement story with me and told me she was considering Howey Mansion for her wedding day.
