What's a trunk show?

Ok, you're trying your hardest to find your gown. But, have you considered going to a trunk show? A bridal trunk show is an opportunity for famous designers to display their whole line of wedding dresses at local boutiques or department store like Saks. Brides must book their attendance in advance for the event by calling a month or more ahead of time. Dresses at trunk shows are usually not at a discount price, but you get the chance to talk directly with the designer for advice about those specific dresses, like making alterations or add-ons. Chances are the dresses are new season designs. Another plus is being able to see all the styles of a designer that may not be available in stores, guaranteeing you'll be the only bride in town with the dress!

Wedding Dresses to Flatter Your Figure

You may at some point (maybe after a couple weeks of searching?) think you came upon the perfect dress in some bridal magazine. Okay, maybe you're just tired of searching and the sales lady pulls one off the rack and you think it MUST be the one...the price tag ends in your lucky number or you want to name your baby after the dress style, 'Caressa'. Sometimes believing in fate is needed, but in the case of dress desperation, I'd say no. Realistically, there are some things to consider before picking the dress.

Sorry to bust your bubble, I know, but its just that we grow up conditioned to see a dress in a store window or magazine, hear magic twinkling music, and think it was made for us--but the truth can sometimes be disappointing. You may LOOOOVE it, but it doesn't love YOUR figure, your height, your curves, your bust, or your

Send in your dress, makeup or hairstyle questions

A friend of mine recently asked me for some wedding dress help. We went dress shopping together and had a time. Not that great in the beginning, I mean. First off, she is petite and plus-sized, and she hadn't done her research on how to flatter her figure. All the dresses she had been thinking of just didn't look right when she put them on--the poofy ballgown dresses made her look lost in tulle, and a sheath dress and frilly mermaid style dress just didn't get us enthused. I initially wanted her to find the dress she had been "dreaming about" without any intervention on my part. I had hoped she'd try one on, glow, and everyone would stare in awe telling her it was "the dress." Well, it didn't work out. But I had to do something before she got disappointed. So.....I brought her a couple of A-line dresses, which started us on a roll. She instantly cheered up. She had insisted on a rounded classic style neckline, but when I showed her how a v-neck w
