Dress of the Week

The Lindsey Gown by Alyne Bridal
Ahh, the Lindsey Gown by Alyne is one of our all time favorites. We love the sweetness of it! I feel like this is the perfect dress for the bride who just isn't used to wearing dresses but wants something feminine and easy to wear on her wedding day. A non-strapless gown requires more work, fabric and design than a strapless gown. So that's why y'all see so many strapless gowns out there! So not only is the gown incredibly adorable with it's banded waist and hem, but it also has a tank style neckline with straps. Yay!! This ballgown wouldn't be a signature Alyne gown without it's gorgeous ribbon belt and organza flower along with silk covered buttons in the back. And to top it off it is 100% luxurious silk!

Watters & Watters style 8823
The Watters & Watters style 8823 is a very fun and unique bridesmaid dress. The neckline features a little "twist" along with a draped bodice.  This is a great fit for any body type!  The dress is fitted at the natural waist and flows into an a-line skirt. If the dress isn't enough you can add more style with the black crinkle chiffon floral belt. The shimmery tissue taffeta fabric is available in 12 different colors and the dress can be ordered in knee-length or floor-length.

What bridesmaid fabric is best for summer weddings?

Even though this summer has yet to prove it our summers typically can be pretty hot and sticky!   If you are having a summer wedding you really want to think about what fabric you will be putting your bridesmaids in, especially if any part of the wedding is outside. The lighter the fabric the better and the less fabric the better. So for summer weddings we typically recommend shorter dresses.  If you want to go with a long, elegant look then it is even more crucial to stick to a lighter weight fabric.

Fabrics we recommend:
1.  Chiffon - the lightest of the fabrics and the most flowy. This fabric will flow in the breeze, is very lightweight and won't stick to your body.

2.  Silk Shantung or Dupioni - this is still a lighter weight fabric but will offer a little more structure. Because the fabric is natural it will be breathable and comfortable. And of course beautiful!

3.  Cotton - an unusual fabric in the bridal world but a fabric that most of us wear every day!  Many bridesmaid collections have introduced this fabric. Again, it is a natural fabric and is very light, comfortable and breathable.

4.  Tissue Taffeta - tissue taffeta is a lighter weight taffeta that could still work for summer weddings. You'll get a little movement with the fabric and it is not as stiff and heavy as a satin or a regular taffeta.
