A gown fit for a Princess!

We are 22 days away from the biggest wedding day of the century! On April 29, Prince William will marry Kate Middleton in a lavish ceremony. The biggest question - what will Kate's gown look like! I have wondered this myself, so I decided to give you a few of my favorite gowns that speak to Kate's classic elegance. For inspiration, I looked to designer Amsale who is known for her feminine, bridal aesthetic.

Enjoy!

Amelie

Carina

Ella

Melina

Miri

Serena

All of these gowns have a lovely silhouette, that if done on a grand scale could be gowns fit for a Princess! As always, let me know your thoughts - what do you think Kate will wear?

Much love!

Thinking Pink!

I think my favorite color is pink! So beautiful and soft! And speaking of pink, it is the hottest color in bridal right now! As I was flipping through my copy of People, I died when I saw this picture of Reese Witherspoon's wedding dress! She brings a whole new meaning to the term blushing bride!

Monique Lhuillier

I love that she has used multiple tones of pink on this gown - so elegant! Here are a few more of my favorite blush gowns! Tell me what your favorites are!

Lea Ann Belter

Oscar de la Renta

Much love!

Bride meets dress

As I think about this past weekend, the thing that strikes me is the look on a bride's face when she puts on "the" dress. As I hear from all of the mothers that visit me, "she looks gorgeous in everything she tries on, so this is such a hard decision". I actually think just the opposite. Yes, every bride to be is going to look lovely in every dress they try on, however there is something magical that happens when a bride puts on "the" dress for the first time. Her face lights up, her smile doubles in size, and she cant stop touching the gown.

This is that one moment where she has connected with her wedding dress. I love watching this happen. Mothers start crying, sisters are excited, and friends can't sit still! It is the moment that a girl dreams of her whole life, and she has finally lived out the fantasy. Time stops and all the bride can do is stare at herself in the mirror and take in her bridal beauty.

Now, here is where things can sometimes go awry. Our blushing bride has found the dress...and she decides she needs to try on "just a few more dresses...to be sure". Uh oh... This is just about the biggest mistake that a bride can make. When you have found the dress that you want to walk down the aisle in, stop looking! All you will do is confuse yourself! I know, trying on big, beautiful wedding dresses is an incredibly fun pastime, but you must make the decision that as soon as you know it is "the" dress you will buy it! As Randy Fenoli, our favorite Say Yes to the Dress star says, "you don't date every guy out there just to make sure there isn't a better guy waiting for you. You know that he is the only man for you just like you have to know that this is the only dress for you".

So brides, when you plan your day (or days) of gown shopping, remember to go with your gut instinct and when you have your magical moment...say yes to the dress!

As always, much love.

So lovely to meet you!

To all of my brides, future brides, and friends of brides, welcome! I am so excited to be starting this blog. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kim, and I am the owner of The Bride's Room in Ft Worth. I think my store reflects so much of who I am, and I hope that this blog will as well! The salon offers everything that a bride could want for her wedding. Of course we have the gowns (one of the most fun aspects of a wedding), as well as fabulous veils, headpieces, jewelry, and our new antique garter and wedding album collection.

The gowns themselves are absolutely stunning! I carry Junko Yoshioka, Lea Ann Belter, Jewel by Priscilla of Boston, Paloma Blanca, St. Pucchi, and Nicole Miller. These designers run the gamut from the very traditional, elegant gowns that you dreamed of as a 5 year old playing wedding, to new, inventive designs that are completely unexpected here in Cowtown! I think I have a new favorite dress each time I look through my collection! From ball gowns, to mermaids, and every style in between, The Bride's Room is where the Ft Worth bride will find her gown!

April Market is coming up next week in New York which is always exciting! I wonder what all of the designers will deem the "of the moment" must have? So many collections to see in just a few short days! I will post pictures while I am there.

I am so looking forward to sharing my love of weddings and wedding dresses with you as I blog! Please feel free to send in questions that you might have for me. I want to have as much fun as possible on here, and I hope that you will too!

Love to you all,

The Bridal Belle
