We are so excited to share the gorgeous wedding photos of our bride Samantha. She looked absolutely stunning in a lace and tulle Enzoani gown. The dress was custom fit to Samantha's petite frame. A couture lace bolero and floral adorned vintage birdcage veil were added to complete her wedding day look.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

Julia

Last year, we were the lucky shop that got to dress Julia Bachison, Miss Utah USA 2008, and Miss Utah 2005. Not only is Julia stunning, she has a heart of gold! With the help of our tailoring team, we created her Enzoani silk chiffon dress to be fit for a Queen.

You may recognize Julia from the current issue of Utah Bride & Groom, as she is featured on page 36.
Congratulations Julia! 

A Few Tips From The Experts

It is safe to say that every girl wants to be breathtaking on her wedding day. Even with all the beautiful details that have taken time and inspiration to plan, all eyes will ultimately land upon the beaming bride in her dress. Until the dress has been found however, this may seem like an overwhelming thought. Here at The Brides' Shop, we are ready to help you find the dress of your dreams. With trained and knowledgeable consultants, our goal is to make your shopping experience fun, exciting, and memorable. By taking note of the following guidelines, your shopping experience will be even more successful and stress free.

*Call in advance and set an appointment. Many bridal shops are happy to accept walk ins, but an appointment ensures one on one attention for the bride.

*Limit 2-3 friends or family to come along. The more opinions you have, the harder it is to please. You must remember that everyone has a different vision of the bride, the most important vision is yours.

*Begin your search at least 6 months before the wedding. Dresses are custom made by hand and take 4-5    months to be shipped. If alterations are needed, it is best to plan for more time. If the engagement is short, be  prepared to find a dress quickly. If lucky enough to find your dream dress in stock, you have to act quick, or risk the dress being sold to another willing bride.

*Be honest and open with your consultant. Their job is to help you find a dress you will love without the pressure of going over budget. Decide on a price range that you will feel comfortable staying within.

*Be open minded. It is always great to have a general idea of the dress you are searching for, however, a dress cannot be judged by the hanger. Some of the most beautiful gowns need to be showcased on a body.

*Consider alterations. Cost of alterations will vary depending on the nature of the work needed. At The Brides' Shop we offer exclusive in house alterations, allowing the bride to express her creativity and personal  touches to her gown.

*Don't stress. The most important factor in purchasing your wedding gown is to feel excited and beautiful when you are wearing it. There are thousands of beautiful gowns, your job is to find one that makes you feel incredible. If the shape is flattering, the fabric appealing, the color compliments your skin tone, and your smile cannot be wiped from your face... You have found your dress!

*Once the dress has been found, don't try on another wedding dress. Stop looking, embrace your decision, and move onto the next step of planning your wedding.

The most important advice of all is to have fun! This is an exciting moment in your life and should be treasured. The consultants at The Brides' Shop understand this and hope to make your shopping experience a memorable one.

Allison

****

Allison came to The Brides' Shop in search of her dream dress. Her mom flew in from out of state for the occasion. Our goal was to make it a memorable experience for the whole family. When Allison tried on this beautiful Enzoani gown in a soft alabaster color, her face lit up. The gown was originally strapless, but with the help of our in house alterations, Allison left with a custom made sleeve that fit beautifully.

I don't know of a gown that has photographed better than this one. Jen Rapp looked timeless in her Enzoani lace gown! I was thrilled to received her pictures so I could share them with you. Make sure you see the incredible boots she got before even purchasing her gown. They couldn't have fit together any better. This is the email she sent us along with the pictures.


I am sorry it has taken so long to send you some pictures from my wedding August 13th in Valle Crucis, NC. I couldn't decide on which pictures I liked the best so I sent several, my guess is most brides have that problem :)

I also want to thank you and everyone else at The Bride's Shop for helping me find my perfect dress. The wedding was smooth and easy and that really did start with the experience I had with you when I bought my dress. The alterations were minimal, but Oksana was flexible and wonderful to work with as well. It's too bad this only happens once because it was the best/ most fun day of my life! I wish I could wear my dress again and again- it was actually comfortable!

Thank you again so much and I will certainly tell all my single friends where to go when their big day arrives :)

Congrats Jen! We wish you the best!
