The Dress, by BLU Event Design

We all love to admire the endless couture fashion in the bridal magazines... But lets face it, not all of us can afford to splurge on a gorgeous gown by Monique Lhuillier or Vera Wang.

So, what's a girl to do? Well, remember to think outside of the box. As you are starting to look for an angelic concoction of tulle, satin and organza, keep a few things in mind:

Think ahead and shop in advance. Ask if the bridal salon may have an upcoming sample sale.

You'll often get the wider range of choices at the boutique salon that can do special orders from designers with unique styles, rather than the mass market chain stores.

Judge the dress, not the label. Look at the quality and fit, not the maker. The right dress will make your friends think "She looks amazing", not "That dress looks amazing".

Steal truly one of a kind wedding gown by a local talented designer.

No matter the choice, make sure The Dress reflects Your style, personality and the sparkle that your future hubby fell in love with.
