A True Love Story

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart. Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Collection Spotlight – Kelly Faetanini Spring 2020 Marilyn Collection

Mom’s never pick favorites; they love all of their kids equally. At the Bridal Room, it’s similar with our designers, we love each designer and each collection for different reasons. But one holds a special place in our heart above the rest as someone who has been with our boutique since we opened, is a pleasure to work with, and of course makes gorgeous gowns!

Get ready for a “pretty post” today as we show off Kelly’s gorgeous new Spring 2020 collection. We are so excited to be receiving our stores samples of some of the gowns we selected to carry, so while we won’t have all of these dresses all the time, we can sometimes have certain gowns visit us, or sometimes the whole collection will visit us for a trunk show! If you have any questions about which gowns, we carry, or having a certain gown visit us, you can always give us a call or email.

Kelly Describes her new collection as “uniquely feminine in never before seen new ways” and these four dresses Thelma, Doris, Susan, and Dorothy are the perfect embodiment of femininity with slimming silhouettes and timeless lace. 

Two showstoppers from the Marilyn collection are Monroe and Grace. The Marilyn collection embodies “Old Hollywood glamour” and these two gowns came to strut that red carpet! Monroe features a gorgeous removable train, and Grace a removable overskirt, which from our last blog post is totally #trending.

For our blush lovers (Ahem – our Receptionist Elissa is obsessed) Kelly continued her trend of adding color to her collections and we are here for it! Joan is a beautiful sequel to Tiana from the Carousel Collection with that gorgeous ivory to pink ombre ruffle. Ruby, Lucille, and Brigitte all come in blush or ivory and go with the Marilyn collection “sassy, yet classy bridal style”.

Two more showstoppers from the collection are Brigitte and Bardot! We love the uniquely feminine lace top and sweet soft crepe bottom. Both have a custom removable over skirt that adds as Kelly put best “va-va-voom!”

These four new gowns are breathtaking and so intriguing. The mix of plain and sleek with interesting necklines, backs and shapes create what Kelly calls “edginess while still holding a classic vibe” and we couldn’t agree more!

We hope you enjoyed viewing Kelly’s gorgeous new collection! If you think any of these could be your dream gown for your wedding, we would love for you to try them with us! You can give us a call or visit the appointment tab on our website to see live appointment times and dates and book with ease.

Dress Double Take

An emerging trend we are loving lately is the double dress. Whether it be a removable train, a removable skirt, or two different dresses for ceremony and reception, we love the idea of having two looks in one day! After all, you only get married once!

Many of our designers in this past and upcoming season are beginning to explore over skirts, removable sleeves, and detachable trains to give modern brides that two-in-one look that they are loving. If you are looking to make guests do a double-take on your big day, come visit us at The Bridal Room so you can see our transforming gowns like the ones below!

Removable Train Looks

Allure Couture C387 - A removable train attached to a sparkly belt for added drama and glam!

Kelly Faetanini “Giselle” – A removable tulle train with a lace hem to accentuate the dresses hem. Kelly describes it best by saying “feel like a A-list celebrity walking down the red carpet (ahem, I mean wedding aisle)”

Nicole Spose 17116 – A removable tulle train with a classic beaded belt on this gorgeous illusion neck fit-to-flare gown. Put these two together for a classic elegant look with a little glamour and sass!

Removable Overskirt Looks

Tara Lauren “Easton” – This removable overskirt has become so popular with our brides, and is definitely a personal favorite. For brides who love 3D floral, this skirt is for you! This dress is also gorgeous in both blush (pictured) and ivory (our store sample).

Blush by Hayley Paige “Fawn” – This overskirt turns this gorgeous fit-to-flare gown into an A-line dream! The lace trim is so unique and gorgeous! Perfect for any bride that wants to be a princess – but also classic and elegant.

Tara Lauren “Sienna” – Paired with Tara’s Giles dress, the light and airy tulle skirt is simple, while adding elegant dimension to dresses.

We love the excitement that comes with two wedding day looks, and we hope you will come and try some out with us soon! As always, you can give us a call or use our website to see live appointment times and book with ease.

A standout from designer Kelly Faetanini's SS17 collection

Pretty in Pink! Florence is a stunning ball gown wedding dress that is bound to ensure all eyes on you for your big day! A classic silhouette, beginning at the sweetheart neckline: the blush colored tulle dons an ombre effect, down to the bottom of it's horsehair hemmed skirt. Oh and did we mention this showstopper has pockets-- Yup! Great for you to stash your something borrowed, hide sweaty palms or just enjoy the comfort of knowing they're there!
