It is a common scene: the lights of the Christmas tree are glowing, Bing Crosby or Karen Carpenter sing quietly in the background, and he hands you a wrapped giftbox. A tiny giftbox! Nervously, you open the wrapping just as he drops to one knee…

Many brides have found themselves saying “Yes!” to the most important question amid mistletoe and snow. The nature of the holiday makes sense that there would be romance in the air.  With a brand new year just around the corner, Christmas creates the perfect time to plan for a new future –together.

Last month, we posted some great winter wedding ideas. However, since Christmas engagements usually mean a spring or summer wedding, here are some great gown ideas for warmer weather!

After all there is something about a wedding-gown prettier than in any other gown in the world.

One of the reasons Avenía Bridal chooses to carry the designers we do is because of buildups. Many of our clientele desire shoulders and sleeves on their wedding gowns due to religious reasons, and so it is important to us to have designers willing to give our brides this option. The best part is knowing the “altered” gown will not lose any of its integrity or beauty in the process. Sometimes, the gown improves!

Here is an example of a great designer build-up, along with some finishing touches by our very own Nancy Barrus.

When it comes to weddings, the details are important. Which font to use on the invitations, how many seats at each table; ribbons or pearls in the wedding bouquet, the colors of the cake…? This is no different with wedding gowns and accessories –the beauty is found in the details. From fine stitching to beautiful beading, the effort of creating flawless quality always pays off with the end result: A Happy Bride. After all, it’s all in the details!

Here are some details found in the Avenía Bridal Boutique:
