This is the season of the classic bride, and the prettiest gowns are those that will
look just as spectacular 20 years from now. The fashion world has been turned
on its ear with over-the-top runway creations, but from our vantage point, bridal
style is classic, classic, classic.
Our favorite designs this year, available in boutiques throughout Arizona,
have a focus on clean lines, lovely silhouettes and fabrics that offer a slight shimmer
offset by unique adornments or accessories.
Off the shoulder and strapless are still favorites for our climate, as are light
fabrics such as peau de soie, silk and chiffon. grecian draping offers that ethereal
floating-on-air illusion. Beading and pearl accents, as well as jeweled brooches
provide just enough sparkle. These are the gowns that a bride will always cherish,
and choices abound to suite every woman’s taste.
Selecting the ideal gown begins not on the runway, but in your favorite
boutique. Armed with knowledge and taste, the boutique staff really is your best friend when searching for the most important garment you will ever purchase.
Begin by thumbing through the pages of the fashion magazines and bring in
some photographs of gowns that appeal to you. Then, enjoy as the staff brings
you a selection of gowns that fit your taste.
Regardless of the gown you choose, shop early. like love, beauty takes time to
create, and your gown is no exception. Boutiques we’ve consulted with estimate
a four-month lead time to order most bridal gowns.
