Young at Heart

2011-12-08T16:30:00.001-06:00

We just received the gown today and we are all excited for brides to start trying it on! Don't you love the back?!

Almost Famous

2011-11-22T11:10:00.000-06:00

We recently loaned a few of our bridesmaid gowns out for a commercial shoot and received the final video. Check out our bridesmaid gowns at the 0:12 mark! This is a great example of mixing styles from different designers! But obviously that iPad is not the best bridal accessory :-)

Another summer bride has sent us a picture from her wedding. Grace looks beautiful in Maggie Sottero's "Fiorella." Absolutely stunning! Best wishes to the new bride!

Bey's Big Day

2011-11-18T10:31:00.000-06:00

The big mystery is finally over! We now know what Beyonce's wedding gown looked like! And we were frankly a little shocked because it looks surprisingly similar to one of our Jasmine Couture gowns, T394.

Both gowns have the same dramatic bust line and a figure flaunting shape. Compare them for yourself! You can see Beyonce's gown at the 3:36 mark in the video below.

A Rare Gem

2011-11-11T14:56:00.002-06:00

We were so excited to get pictures in of this recent wedding! Erin and Andy were married in October, and she was definitely a creative bride. Her wedding gown was the Maggie Sottero stunner "Victoriana," but she made it her own she the addition of ribbon detail and a customized Meg Jewelry brooch to her bust. She completed her look with other custom Meg creations. No bride has this unique of a look!

All Photography by Devine Studios

Her girls wore elegant DaVinci gowns in a beautiful eggplant shade. The ladies looked very classy!

And of course, we can't forget the guys. They looked studly in their tuxedos by Jim's Formal Wear.

We are so thrilled to have helped Erin and Andy create their perfect day. Congratulations to the wonderful couple!

Melt Your Heart

2011-11-05T09:55:00.000-05:00

One special groom gave his bride a good start to her wedding gown shopping by delivering red roses to her appointment. How sweet! And it must have been her good luck charm, because she found her dress!

They're Here!

2011-11-04T17:20:00.000-05:00

Our Unforgettable by Bonny dresses have arrived early! We're so lucky to have them for both this weekend and next! Also, do you noticed the color in front? The colored wedding gown is turning into more than a trend.

Falling in Love

2011-11-01T14:50:00.000-05:00

Another beautiful October bride has sent us a picture of her fairytale day! Stephanie and Brandon were married mid October, and they look so happy and beautiful together! The bride wore the glamorous Maggie Sottero "Adelaide," while her groom looked dashing in a tuxedo by Jim's Formal Wear.

Best Wishes to the newlyweds!

A Gown of a Different Color

2011-11-01T13:59:00.000-05:00

So interesting!

While white and ivory are great, classic choices for your wedding gown, we have been receiving a lot of requests for colored wedding gowns. This offers a stunning, and unique twist to your bridal attire. A few of our designers, including Mori Lee, have offered black gowns for years now. But if this is a little extreme for you, a pale pink or gold would make your gown and big day just a little extra special!

Curvaceous Couture

2011-10-28T11:49:00.003-05:00

Probably one of the hardest parts of shopping for a wedding gown when you're plus sized is the narrow range of sample sizes available for try-on. We pride ourselves on having an ample selection of plus size gowns regularly in store, but next weekend there will be even more! We're having our Beautiful with Curves Trunk Show on November 11 & 12.
The trunk show will feature numerous bestsellers by Casablanca and Unforgettable by Bonny, in sizes starting at 16+! We still have plenty appointments available for both days, so its recommended to set up now to get your optimal time!

A Western Romance

2011-10-28T11:28:00.003-05:00

We love the change in season around here, especially since that means beautiful autumn brides! Kayleen was married only a few weeks ago, and she looked amazing! Kayleen wore the always stunning "Adorae" by Sottero & Midgely, while her girls rocked Mori Lee bridesmaid gowns. The gents complimented the ladies with their western style tuxedos by Jim's Formal Wear. It was such a pleasure to help make Kayleen's wedding beautiful! Congratulations to the fantastic couple!

Summer Glory

2011-10-18T16:11:00.000-05:00

It's turned chilly in Kansas City, but we received a picture from one of our June brides that warmed our hearts. Claire and Scott were married earlier this year, and she looks fantastic is "Phillipa" by Maggie Sottero! Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Timeless Beauty

2011-10-13T18:04:00.001-05:00

Oh, what a wonderful weekend we have ahead of us! Our Casablanca Trunk Show is under way and the new styles are gorgeous! We're booked for Saturday, but still have appointments open for tomorrow.
Casablanca wedding gowns have wonderful quality and detail, while staying within a budget-friendly price tag. They are also masters at modifications, so if you think it could be your dream dress with some minor adjustments, just ask and it is most likely possible!

All Casablanca special orders are 10% off this weekend only!

Do It Yourself Fun!

2011-10-04T16:13:00.000-05:00

Are you finding brick walls popping up in your mind when trying to think of cute, DIY beauty ideas for your wedding beauty? Lauren Conrad, of The Hills fame, has launched a fun, new website, The Beauty Department, dedicated to DIY beauty and hair. There is even some great bridal make-up tips. Doing your own makeup, hair, or nails is a great way to cut wedding costs and still look like yourself (beautiful and natural).

Power Shopping

2011-10-01T13:20:00.000-05:00

Today has been a lot of fast paced fun! So many brides have found their dreams dresses today. One bride even got a $1200 gown for $499! There is still a few hours left, so stop in and try on some beautiful wedding gowns!

Summer Lovin'

2011-09-09T15:05:00.000-05:00

We just got in these wonderful pictures from our June bride, Stevie! She looks very much like a princess in her Mori Lee wedding gown and gorgeous Meg jewelry. Her girls look equally as cute in their Mori Lee bridesmaids gowns. Congratulations to Stevie and Julian!

Doesn't the New Urbi necklace look great?!

Super cute summer wedding!

The Sooner, The Better

2011-09-06T13:24:00.000-05:00

Headin' to the Lake

2011-09-02T16:57:00.002-05:00

We hope everyone has a fun and relaxing Labor Day weekend! We are closing early on Saturday at 1pm, and reopening Tuesday morning at 9am. Enjoy the long weekend!

March to Your Own Tune

2011-08-30T13:41:00.000-05:00

Another weekend has passed, and that means another celebrity has gotten married. This time is was director Sofia Coppola, and she went the non-traditional route. The bride wore a beautiful, lilac Alaia gown. It definaelty fits her personality more than, oh say, three custom Vera Wang dresses :-)

If a bride is wanting to go the more informal, but fun route with her wedding attire, we recommend looking to bridesmaid dresses. You'll find more styles, in a wide range of color, and at VERY budget friendly prices. Wouldn't this AfterSix style look adorable with killer shoes and a birdcage veil?

Beautiful Beginnings

2011-08-20T14:49:00.002-05:00

On this particularly gloomy Saturday, we were delighted when we received a wedding photo from one of August brides. Gabrielle wore the stunning Sottero & Midgeley gown, Adorae. She looks elegant and stunning! Congratulations!

So Happy

2011-08-19T13:25:00.000-05:00

Congratulations to our fantastic, August bride Kristin! She braved the summer's heat and wore the elegant Maggie Sottero gown, Simone, to her wedding earlier this month. Congratulations again to the happy couple!

So Sweet

2011-08-12T17:24:00.000-05:00

A wonderful, little gift from one of our customers...

Belle of the Ball

2011-08-12T11:47:00.000-05:00

Our Maggie Sottero Trunk Show is underway and there are a ton of fantastic dresses in for the weekend. Our staff's new favorite is Abilene Rose. The gown has a romantic and sophisticated feel to it, with delicate, but supportive straps. The belt is the wonderful accent to the soft shape of the dress. Our favorite aspect is definitely the 3-D organza flowers on the train. It is only fitting that such a beautiful dress is named after a town in Kansas :-)

Trunk Show Update

2011-08-05T13:18:00.001-05:00

Our big Maggie Sottero Trunk Show is next weekend and we have received the list of gowns that will be coming in. We're very excited about Geneva, which is GORGEOUS! It looks like a more fitted version of Isadora Marie.
The really exciting part is that the sample will be a 22. Most of the time, samples for trunk shows will come in sizes 6 or 8. This is a great opportunity to try on a new Maggie Sottero gown for all the plus size brides.
We still have try on appointments available for Friday, so submit your appointment request now!

It Just Keeps Going

2011-07-29T16:18:00.000-05:00

Great news for the last minute brides out there! We are extending our Sizzling Summer Sale until Friday, 8/6! That means that there is still another week to get gorgeous, designer wedding gowns for up to 50% off! Call to set up your appointment today!

Summer Love

2011-07-19T16:01:00.001-05:00

We love telling people about our brides who come in. Brandi was married recently on their own vineyard, Stone Pillar Vineyard & Winery, and is a true Mia's Bride, with all their wedding attire coming from us. The bride wore a gorgeous Sottero & Midgley gown, while her girls coordinated in adorable Jasmine and B2 dresses. Her new husband, George, looked dapper in his tuxedo by Jim's Formal Wear. Congratulations to the happy couple! Everyone looks stunning!

Gowns Have Arrived!

2011-07-19T15:49:00.002-05:00

Mori Lee Trunk Show gowns are in! There are some lovely styles and since it is Mori Lee, you know they have just as lovely prices as well! There are still appointment available for this weekend, so give us a call if you'd like to come in.

Beautiful Day

2011-07-07T19:45:00.001-05:00

The end of the month brings us to another wonderful bride who got married in June. Nikki, wearing a stunning Sottero & Midgley gown, was married in KC to her great groomie, David. We love the splash of color David incorporated into his Jim's Formal Wear tuxedo. Congratulations to the lovely couple!

It Takes A Village...

2011-07-05T16:00:00.001-05:00

This recent celeb wedding is sure to inspire a few fall/spring brides to go with an ethereal look. Model Kate Moss was recently married in a small, English village in a custom John Galliano wedding gown. While all brides may not be able to afford a custom, couture gown, they can definitely find a way to work in the nature based looks to their wedding. A Blue by Enzoani gown can give that edge of couture, but still be airy and delicate.

Natural Beauty

2011-07-05T15:51:00.000-05:00

Early in the month of June, one of our brides, Madison, was married on the side of a mountain in Colorado. Her sample sale steal, a discontinued Essense of Australia gown, melded perfectly with the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Gorgeous!

A New Deal

2011-06-30T17:09:00.003-05:00

Summer Secrets

2011-06-24T14:04:00.000-05:00

Keep checking in with us over the next few weeks because we'll be announcing our new summer specials for all you brides looking to go to the beach!

Say Yes to THIS Dress!

2011-06-10T15:42:00.000-05:00

Calling all winter bridesmaids! We just got our new Mori Lee and Angelina Faccenda bridesmaids gown in today and there are some gorgeous options! We especially love the Angelina Faccenda gowns with their amazing styles, fabric quality, and prices. Mori Lee offers some very chic options for the bridesmaids who want to get the extra use and wear out of their gowns.

Just think, you wear this for your best friend's wedding in November. Afterward, you can shorten it, add some killer heels, and wear it for an amazing New Year's Eve party in December!

Summer Bliss

2011-06-10T13:22:00.000-05:00

One of our wonderfully, sweet brides, Anna, was recently married over Memorial Day weekend. We love it when brides wear their hair down, because they have such a natural look about them. Anna wore the Maggie Sottero classic, Coco. Congratulations Anna & Drew! You both look stunning!

Beat the Heat

2011-06-04T14:49:00.000-05:00

It is the first hot weekend on the year and we can only imagine how all those wedding parties are standing it. We think this fun Dessy dress would be perfect for a hot, June wedding. Let the party start!

Music to Our Ears

2011-05-24T16:08:00.000-05:00

We've been getting some wonderful feedback from brides lately and wanted to share some of the highlights. Thanks again to all you brides who make this job a blast!

"The staff at Mias rules!!! We got everything from Mias. I felt like every person we worked with made us their top priority. We couldn't have been happier!"
~ Kate, wedding date 1/29/11

"As soon as I walked in the door I felt welcomed at Mia's Bridal. The girls are so sweet and very patient with even the pickiest of brides - I'm speaking from experience :) I would highly recommend Mia's for not only dress shopping, but for alterations and bridesmaid, mother of the bride, jewelry and flower girl dresses!"
~ Alex, wedding date 1/15/11

"I bought my dress at Mia's and had it altered there. I had no problems."
~ Kelly, wedding date 5/14/11

"Everyone at this salon is fantastic! (I personally worked with Claire the most as my consultant). I purchased my wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, jewelry, and rented tuxedos all from Mia's. I had absolutely ZERO problems with anything! It was a bride's dream come true (expecially for my stress level)!"
~ Anonymous

Natural Essentials

2011-05-19T15:43:00.000-05:00

We're very happy to announce that Mia's Bridal is now carrying 3 select lip glosses, from Miss America's favorite line, Artistry. The line is made of eco-friendly, organic materials. In our store, we have the Light Up Lip Gloss. The gloss has an ingenious light-up applicator and built-in mirror. Glamorous, versatile, shiny sheer lip gloss keeps your lips looking luscious with shades to complement every skin tone.

Special Trunk Show

2011-05-17T14:32:00.000-05:00

We are very excited for our upcoming Mori Lee Trunk Show on June 10th and 11th. Normally for trunk shows, we are told what we will be receiving but this time we can request which gown we will receive! The gowns will be from their Spring 2011 collection, so if there is a dress we normally don't have and you want to see it, just give us a call! We're trying to accommodate all requests for this collection. It will be a great opportunity for all the winter brides to get their gown selections finalized!

Wedding of the Summer

2011-05-13T15:38:00.002-05:00

Everyone knows that June is a crazy wedding month everywhere and we can't wait for what is sure to be the wedding event of the season! You know who we're talking about, right? Kate Moss? Wrong. Paul McCartney? Wrong again! We are of course talking about Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, and his lovely bride to be, 24 year old Crystal Harris. Word is she is planning a very pink wedding.

If we had to plan a wedding at the Playboy Mansion, it would be frivolous and fun. And what is more fun than a short wedding gown. We especially love this flirty style from Mori Lee Voyage. Pair it with strappy sandals or cute boots, and you'll be wedding to hop down the bunny aisle!

Mothers in May

2011-05-10T16:03:00.000-05:00

We hope everyone had a great weekend and took good care of their moms on Mother's Day. We want to continue that pampering with an offer of 15% off mother's gowns for the month of May! The mothers in wedding parties are always the last one to find their gown because they are helping everyone else get ready for the big day. Don't procrastinate moms! This is a great offer!

Lovely Catarina gown #4035

April Showers Bring...

2011-05-05T14:35:00.000-05:00

...wonderful May flowers! We are in love with our new window display, which has a belated tribute to Earth Day with recycled water bottle flowers. "Suzette" by Sottero & Midgley looks amazing!

Ahead of Schedule

2011-05-03T16:20:00.000-05:00

SaBelle...so gorgeous

Great news for all you brides still searching for a wedding gown...the gowns for our Maggie Sottero Trunk Show should be arriving EARLY! They'll be available for try-on starting on Thursday, so call to make your appointments today. We have plenty of slots left for Thursday and Friday, but at this point Saturday is booked.
The designer has given us the okay to offer a 10% discount on all Maggie Sottero and Sottero & Midgley wedding gown orders this weekend! Very exciting stuff!

Downtown Vibe

2011-04-29T14:47:00.001-05:00

Not to be outshone by Kate Middleton, one of our brides got married recently and had a beautiful, KC wedding. Amy and BJ were married at Jacob's Well in Westport, with the reception following at Californos. Her beautiful Sottero & Midgley gown matched the classic, urban decor perfectly! We love the rich colors and dramatic flair to her pictures. Congrats Amy & BJ!

Royal Affair

2011-04-29T09:48:00.001-05:00

It has finally happened...Kate and William have gotten married! And more importantly, we now know all the details on her gown. Her wedding gown was by the quintessential English label, Alexander McQueen. The ivory, duchess satin gown had beautiful box pleats to accent her tiny waist. The bodice was covered in lace with 58 organza covered buttons going down the back. Her maid of honor, sister Pippa, also wore a wonderfully simple McQueen gown. The lace on Kate's gown reminds us of Blue by Enzoani's design aesthetics.

Congratulations to the happy couple!!

Award Winning Style

2011-04-27T13:23:00.000-05:00

We are very excited here at the shop because we are a little over a week away from our Maggie Sottero Trunk Show. Maggie is one of the most desired and respected names in the bridal business and we couldn't be happier to be receiving a range of new gowns from them for the trunk show. We should be receiving numerous best sellers and selections from their new season. We still have appointments available for Friday, May 6th, and Saturday, May 7th. Give us a call to get set up!

Goin' to the Chapel

2011-04-26T10:53:00.000-05:00

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! And we got a special surprise from one of our brides this morning. Julie was married last weekend and she is definitely one of the more jubilant looking brides! Julie and her new hubby, Grady, were wed surrounded by a grinning group of family and friends. She in a simple, but gorgeous Blu by Mori Lee wedding gown and he in a classic suit by Jim's Formal Wear.

Congratulations Julie and Grady!

Race to Be Wed

A few weeks ago, local makeup artist Melissa Blayton, held an "Amazing Race" for couples called "Race to Be." Melissa worked with local vendors to provide a wonderful oppurtunity for local couples. The grand prize winners received several prizes, including free photography, flowers, etc. The winners, Richelle and Zach, had to compete in challenges such as mechanical bull riding, blindfold obstacle courses, inflatable sumo-suit wrestling. Richelle came in and spent some of the hard-earned, free money, at our Meg Jewelry Trunk Show! Check out a video of the event below!

Up and Coming

2011-04-05T15:45:00.000-05:00

Well, our MEG Trunk Show was a wonderful event! Meg brought in several tester pieces which many of our brides loved. Can't wait to see which of them make the final collection.
The next few weeks are going to be kind of quiet, in terms of trunk shows. Prom is gearing up and many Metro boys are heading in to get decked out for the big dance.
Also, we were recently featured on local photographer, Heather Brulez's, blog about the pros of ordering with a bridal store. Check it out!

MEG Has Arrived!

Buyer Beware

2011-03-31T16:09:00.000-05:00

The internet is a wonderful tool for aspects of your wedding shopping. Where else can you buy crystals in bulk for next to nothing?! It is the place you go to save on the small stuff...

Your wedding party's attire doesn't really go in the column of "small stuff." When doing a search for any major designer, you are bound to find websites offering deep discounts on internationally recognized designer wedding and bridesmaid gowns. What most brides don't know is that most designers do not sell their gowns online. Most bridal salons are contractually obligated to only sell in their physical store fronts and at set prices (this is why you'll see "Find An Authorized Retailer" on so many of the designer's websites). Many online bridal shops will be selling knockoffs as name brand, and at such a low price.

Always do your research before buying, whether it is online or in a store front. Ask important questions, such as "Are you an authorized retailer for this designer?" While the discounted price may be tempting, consider the perks you receive when ordering with an actual store. They usually have relationships with the company where if there are any issues encountered on your order, the store can act on your behalf and try to find a solution. Online retailers may not be so accommodating. Let a professional help you out when it comes to ordering your party's attire. We're here to help with sizing, shipping, and all those details.

There are enough things in the wedding planning process to stress you out, so don't let the lure of online discounts add to it.

Express Yourself

2011-03-30T11:27:00.000-05:00

We have a few appointments left in the afternoon for personalized consultations. This is a good opportunity to take care of your finishing touches! Give us a call to book today!

Sneak Peek

2011-03-23T17:27:00.001-05:00

The Best of Blue by Enzoani has arrived! Doesn't Concord look stunning! Very couture and would work perfect for the bride needing to meet certain church rules.

More Enzoani!

2011-03-18T12:53:00.000-05:00

Great news, everybody! We have finally been able to reschedule our Blue by Enzoani Trunk Show! You might remember the big blizzard back in January which brought business to a halt for a few days and put a damper on the dresses arriving in time.
Next weekend, 3/25 and 3/26, we will be featuring 10-15 additional Blue by Enzoani wedding gowns in our store. We have also received authorization (for the first time ever!) to allow 10% off the price of their gowns when special ordering, for those two days only!
It will be a great event and appointments are still available!

Bells Are Ringing!

2011-03-16T16:39:00.001-05:00

This past weekend we had an extra special bride, Cecily, get married. Originally, her fiancee and she were planning for a September wedding but due to the sudden illness of her grandfather, they moved the wedding up by 6 months! So in less than 2 months, they had bridesmaids dresses and tuxes picked out and ordered. Luckily, Cecily had order "Lorraine" by Maggie Sottero in early 2010. The wedding came out beautifully!

"We got so many compliments on the girls' attire and the guys, and of course my amazing dress...that I am pretty sure I want to wear every day! Thank you thank you thank you 10,000 times over!"

~ Cecily

Hmmm?

2011-02-25T16:38:00.000-06:00

Have you ever packed for a trip and had that nagging feeling that you're forgetting something? That notion has struck us today as we are preparing for the Sample Sale tomorrow.
As long as we remember its 20% off the price (even the already discounted price) then all will be good!

Regal Invitation

2011-02-23T16:24:00.000-06:00

Deciding on the guest list is always one of the hardest aspects of wedding planning. Who makes the cut and who doesn't? Well, just be thankful you don't have the pressure of Kate Middleton and Prince William...even fellow royals didn't make the cut! Their choice is very classic and dignified (would you expect anything less?).

An invitation should reflect a couples personal style, so this restrained invite suits the future King & Queen. We carry several invitation options in our store, such as Birchcraft Studios and Carlson Craft. Remember... all Mia's Brides received 25% off their invitation orders.

Lets Make A Deal!

2011-02-23T13:44:00.001-06:00

Okay, ladies...this is the weekend to purchase your wedding gown! We are having our semi-annual Sample Sale, and this is a "no appointment" necessary event! All wedding gowns are 20% off the retail price. This includes a majority of our normal sample dresses, as well as many dresses brought in for this special event.

Best Wishes

2011-02-16T12:31:00.005-06:00

Another beautiful winter bride has sent us her wedding pictures! Jessie and Shaun were married in January and braved the cold for a gorgeous wedding in downtown Lawrence. Jessie wore a Casablanca wedding gown and her bridesmaids wore chic B2 gowns. The gentleman were decked out in Jim's Formal Wear. Add them all together and they make quite a stellar-looking group.
Luckily they finished pictures that evening before the first major snowfall of the new year. Pictures are from Paul Becker Photography.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Success!

2011-02-16T12:00:00.000-06:00

Sunday was such a wonderful, successful day! We met so many of you fantastic brides at the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show and can't wait to help you dress your wedding party. Thanks to everyone who made it such a successful event!

Congratulations to you lucky brides who won PWG Bucks and our giveaway gowns!

Gearing Up

2011-02-09T14:52:00.002-06:00

Are you brides getting excited for Sunday's Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show?? This is great time to meet several local vendors plus catch us as the finale in the fashion show. We'll be featuring our newest line, Mia's Private Collection. Gorgeous, one a kind dresses that you can not find anywhere else in Kansas! Andrea has been hard at work coming up with fantastic ideas for the fashion show and our booth. Can't wait to see you all there!

Sprucin' Up

2011-02-03T16:56:00.001-06:00

Aah! Our blog is so neglected! First and foremost, we have been receiving so many lovely pictures from our brides of their nuptials. Today, we want to feature the wonderful Megan, who was truly a "Mia's Bride." She outfitted her entire wedding party through our store and it turned out so well. Everything looked so appropriate for a January wedding! Special thanks to Shelly Jensen Photography in Topeka for the great photos. Congratulations to Megan and her new hubby, Kynan!

Secondly, we are all busily preparing ourselves for the upcoming Perfect Wedding Guide show on February 13 at the Overland Park Convention Center. Models have been trekking in through the snow to have their fittings and we're very excited to be featuring some of our favorite lines in the fashion show (wink wink Blue by Enzoani)! It is always a fun and crazy day!

Whirlwind

2011-01-14T16:43:00.000-06:00

It has been so crazy here lately, we've barely had time to stay on top of everything! This weekend is our La Sposa Trunk Show and there are some supremely gorgeous gowns here. Having these gowns in is an opportunity to see craftsmanship at it's finest!

Also, we want to send out a special hello to the newest addition to Mia's Bridal...baby boy Nolan! Our sales consultant, Darcie, delivered the healthy guy last night and both are in excellent health.

Now it is time to prepare for next week's excitement - Mori Lee Trunk Show!

Merriment

2011-01-05T14:03:00.002-06:00

Starting out the New Year right, we have received some pictures from one of our NYE brides, Julie. She decided to go for more of an informal look and selected an Alfred Angelo bridesmaid gown in white as her wedding gown. It is fun and refreshing, especially with those shoes! Congratulations Julie! You look wonderful!

Tick Tock!

2010-12-30T17:35:00.000-06:00

Exciting News

Exciting news to come...and no, its not that we are offering Tai Chi in our parking lot :-)

A Spring in Your Step

2010-12-16T14:21:00.002-06:00

For some women it is the first thing that pops into their minds when putting together their wedding ensemble. For others, it is the last. We're talking about shoes, of course! Shoes can be more than a pretty cover for your feet. With wedding gowns, they can complete the bridal picture. There are several companies we carry, including Pink and Dyeables. We recommend to start thinking about shoes before you start the alteration process, preferably after your gown comes in from order. Shoes generally take 4-6 weeks to order in, especially if you are having them custom dyed. It can be very fun to add a pop of color to your whites and ivories!

One of our brides from last year. Lovely shoe choice!

The "Other" Dress

2010-12-14T12:25:00.000-06:00

Engagement pictures can be so much fun for the bride and groom. It is the opportunity to capture a range of emotions from funny to sweet to romantic. The Royal Family just released the official engagement pictures for Prince William and Kate Middleton. Very gorgeous and classy dress choice! We recommend choosing a dress that makes you feel comfortable but elegant at the same time. This is like a preview to your wedding! Choosing an informal, bridesmaid style in a subtle color would look great. Keep in mind you can always pull double duty and wear the gown as your rehearsal dinner dress too!

More Enzoani!

2010-12-10T12:23:00.001-06:00

Hooray! We have received more stock wedding gowns from Blue by Enzoani. We are supremely impressed with the high level of craftsmanship displayed in these dresses. They look even better on, so it is highly recommended that you brides come in quick to try these beauties on!


Dalby

Dalby has a classic, old Hollywood feel to it. The gown is a confection of tulle and lace. The crystal beaded belt is attached to the gown, but can definitely be changed to a ribbon if bling isn't your style. The skirt swirls out in tiers of lace.

To top it all off, Dalat is accessorized with a some pearls and crystals from Meg. The exaggerated, circle cut veil from Giselle gives you the perfect amount of airiness and charm. Very Grace Kelly!

Dalat

Dalat hits the mark in terms of mixing modern taste with classic style. The gown is made of lace and organza, with the waist accented with an attached belt, very similar to their Farlow belt. The skirt has a subtle lace overlay that skims the hips for a very flattering look.

This gown is best paired with gobs of pearls and a Mantilla veil by Bel Aire Bridal.


Casablanca

Casablanca is a fitted, mermaid style gown. The skirt of the gown is covered in delicate lace. The top is a ruched mix of chiffon and lace.

The look is completed with great pearls from Elan a Porte and Meg Jewelery. The fun headpiece, from En Vogue, gives the classic gown a pop of fun.

Think Pink!

2010-12-09T15:05:00.001-06:00

Normally, when you read through the Wall Street Journal, you're not expecting to read something that could effect your wedding color choice. This morning the unexpected happened! According to WSJ, "color authority," Pantone has deemed honeysuckle the hot, new color. In recent seasons, The Dessy Group partnered with Pantone and have made several of their gowns available in Pantone's best colors. Honeysuckle is described as very bright, "60's lipstick" pink. Hopefully we will be seeing some of Dessy's bridesmaid gowns in this fabulous, honeysuckle color!

Meet the Staff, Pt. 7

2010-12-07T14:13:00.002-06:00

The newest member of our staff has brought a lot of nostalgia to the store. Shelly is one of our sales consultants and seems to know everyone who walks through the door. "The craziest encounter I've had so far is when I met one of my brides and it turned out we played soccer together in elementary school!" She has been with Mia's since August and is quickly learning the ins and outs of our store. "All the gowns are so beautiful, but I realized that just because it is beautiful, doesn't mean it will translate on to every bride. Preferences and personal style are so important."

"I am really looking forward to start having bridal parties complete their arc with me. It will be fun to see one of my brides when it is finally her wedding week."

Fairy Tale

2010-12-07T13:53:00.001-06:00

Casablanca #2035 is one of our wonderful, new stock gowns. It has a very flattering baby doll bust and then the skirt just floats down with a heavenly, netted skirt. The netting is embroidered and beaded. The gown strikes us very fairy like...soft and ethereal. Maybe you'll actually float down the aisle?

It pairs great with Bel Aire veil #V7013 and Meg's Mae necklace.

Meet the Staff, Pt. 6

2010-12-03T16:08:00.001-06:00

Lets catch up with our resident silver polisher and visual coordinator, Andrea. She has been with our store for nearly two years as a bridal consultant. Nearly a year ago, she was made our store's visual coordinator after the amazing work she did designing our booth at the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show. "I like it that twice a year I can create an atmosphere that is inviting for brides to learn about our store at a chaotic event. PWG is a fun time, but can be overwhelming for some."

Andrea's passion for vintage and recycled items is evident in her work. This past spring her window displays were created from used soda bottles and she scoops up vintage wedding gowns for inspiration. "Maybe its the bargain shopper in me, but I now have two vintage wedding gowns for whenever it is that time for me to walk down the aisle." Is that time close? "Not until they can clone Burt Reynolds circa 1980."

Icing on the Cake

2010-12-03T13:11:00.002-06:00

It is always important for a bride to try her wedding gown on after it arrives in from order and BEFORE she starts alterations. We recommend a Finishing Touches appointment for all brides. This is an opportunity for the bride to try on her very own dress and sample some accessories with them at the same time. It always make the wedding process more real when you can actually feel a dress in your size and preferred color. Veils can be tried on in matching colors, necklaces and earrings will coordinate so much better.

We carry numerous jewelry lines in our store. One of our favorites is Meg Jewelery. The designer, Meg Lammers, is so creative and classic - all at the same time. We normally host a trunk show with Meg twice a year and she is wonderful with customizations! Her pieces use Swarovski crystals, fresh water pearls, and sterling silver. Her items are definitely heirloom quality and it is nice to know you can be the beginning of a family tradition.

J'adore!

2010-12-01T13:48:00.000-06:00

As mentioned previously, we LOVE the winter around here because it means new gowns for in the store. Today was especially great because we now have two new gowns which are unlike anything else here. The first is Jasmine T435. This gown is for the bride who loves attention because that is what this big, fun skirt demands! The belt is detachable and comes is a variety of colors. We love the contrast with the black.

The other gown is Mori Lee 6701. We love the hi-lo hemline, which keeps the gown fun and perfect for showing off some killer shoes. It reminds us of Sex and the City...very Carrie Bradshaw-esque, no? And of course, since it is a Mori Lee, the price tag is under $600. That is a price every fashionista can appreciate!
