From all of us at Avenía Bridal,

have a very merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Once again, Avenía was happy to have the opportunity to work with Camilla Binks Photography and Branches Floral for a Christmas photo shoot featuring an Avenía gown and accessories. The gown photographed is Drew of the Vineyard Collection, a tea-length gown, tastefully paired with classy pumps and detailed winter stockings.  The winter shrug, jewelry, birdcage veil, and hairpiece are all available through Avenía Bridal.

To view and try on this and other Avenía gowns and bridal accessories, call our boutique to schedule an appointment:  801-373-0194.

We are so excited for the wedding trends coming this 2010-2011 Winter season.  Bright, bold pops of color and DIY wedding receptions come together to create weddings with personality.

Wedding gowns with belts and pockets are a hot trend to warm up this Winter season.  Gowns with luxurious fabrics and textures make the perfect winter gown.  These gowns and more are available through Avenía Bridal:

Celina came to Avenía with the vision of a timeless, 50s style wedding gown- a replica of a tea-length gown worn by her Aunt married in the classic 50s era.  As she described her dream wedding gown, Nancy was busy bringing Celina’s vision to life by sketching each detail on her over sized sketch pad.

“…She started sketching. Which was unbelievable to see. It was awesome because we were debating on the top, [whether] to do it flat like it was in the picture or how we ended up doing it. She sketched it back and forth and back and forth until I decided,” said Celina.

Then, the most exciting part: choosing the perfect fabric.

Together Nancy and Celia created the gown that got Celina bursting with excitement- everything was perfect.

There was one catch- Celina was visiting her family in Utah from her home in Ethiopia and only had 3.5 weeks before her Utah wedding!  Nancy was more than happy to accommodate for Celina, given she came to us all the way from Ethiopia!  To Celina’s advantage, she was getting married in the off- season and her gown was finished right on time.

Congratulations Celina! We wish you all the best.

Avenía was pleased to work with Utah Valley Bride at InStudio by Kenneth Linge on the 2011 Utah Valley Bride Magazine, reaching newsstands in January.  We met up for a high-fashion photo shoot which turned out to be what Briana called “editorial perfection”.  We couldn’t agree more!

Above: “…Model, Heidi gets her inner-goddess on in this Avenía Bridal gown while co-editor, Kate, and I gush from the sidelines,” said Briana.

It was a pleasure to work with Briana, Kate, Leah and everyone at the InStudio shoot!  Look for Utah Valley Bride Magazine in stores January, 2011.
