Wedding Gowns for the Horoscope

Wedding Gowns for the Horoscope

Finding the perfect wedding dress is an incredible and meaningful experience, but at times it can be difficult to narrow down exactly what you are looking for. Each bride is different, some know exactly what they are looking for, however others don’t or they change their minds throughout the shopping experience. 

Inspired by a blogpost from Harpers Bazaar entitled ‘The Best Wedding Dress for Your Astrological Sign and How to Shop for It’ and this unique perspective of attaching bridal gown styles to your horoscope, we have created our very own Wedding Dress Horoscope. There are so many things that can trigger a bride to find THE dress. This will be a fun look at matching wedding dresses to your astrological sign that can hopefully help you to discover your true gem! 

 

 

 

 

Aries 

 

Aries is a brave and courageous sign. She is not afraid to take on new challenges and she is often seeking adventure. An Aries gown should reflect this nature with a daring and sleek design. We have chosen a Lis Simon fit & flare silhouette. This gown is simple yet she demands to be seen! With a deep V neckline and decorative button details all down the chapel train, this is the perfect dress for an Aries bride.

 

 

 

 

Taurus 

 

Taurus is a trustworthy and patient sign. She values stability and security to match her dependable nature. A Taurus appreciates the feel and fabric of a gown the most. She should look for timeless and luxurious gowns for her wedding day. We have chosen a comfortable sheath dress from Allure Bridals to match with our Taurus bride. This gown is demure and minimal in the front with a keyhole back banded by a crystal clasp. The perfect mix of traditional and modern. 

 

 

 

 

Gemini

 

Gemini is an intelligent and adaptable sign. She likes to take risks and switch it up. A Gemini will crave something eye catching that people will be telling stories about for years to come. Simplicity won’t do for a Gemini gown! We chose this sheer bodice A-line gown from Allure Bridals. This gown is adorned with lace appliques all along the bodice and hem. A beautiful blend of fabric and design to suit a Gemini bride! 

 

 

 

 

Cancer

 

Cancer is a compassionate and supportive sign. She is elegant and feminine and we feel this Art Deco inspired strapless gown from Allure Bridals perfectly embodies a Cancer sign. This gown somehow manages to capture both vintage and modern emotions. With a sweetheart neckline, button details and a lace hemmed train for miles. We would love to see this on a Cancer bride! 

 

 

 

 

Leo

 

Leo is a charismatic and exuberant sign. She is bold and she lives to take risks. A dramatic and voluminous gown will suit her perfectly! We have chosen an eye catching Hayley Paige ballgown just for our Leo bride. This gown has delicate sparkling flowers all over the bodice and sprinkled throughout the skirt. A feminine addition to our bold Leo gown. You know a Leo could rock this all night!

 

 

 

 

Virgo

 

Virgo is an altruistic and modest sign. She is most comfortable in organized and well planned situations. A Virgo gown should match this aesthetic of functionality but also include high levels of detail. We have picked a fit & flare Lis Simon gown that has been designed down to every last seam. This dress features a sequined lace overlay, deep V neckline with crystal tulle panel, low V back with decorative buttons, illusion lace chapel train and even beaded straps. No detail has been overlooked on this gown for our Virgo bride! 

 

 

 

 

Libra

 

Libra is a charming and polished sign. She values harmony and elegance. She appreciates stylish beauty with a modern twist. We have chosen a feminine flowing gown for our Libra bride with a floral lace bodice, sweetheart neckline and floral appliqué spaghetti straps from Lis Simon. Lace trickles down past the waistline and onto the silky chiffon A-line skirt both in front and the back. Open back with a v-shaped backline, zipper and buttons on the back. Let’s all visualize our Libra bride running through an open field in the gown! 

 

 

 

 

Scorpio 

 

Scorpio is a notoriously passionate and determined sign. She likes to look and feel sultry and powerful. Scorpios are stylish on the daily and their wedding day should be no different. We have chosen an opulent sheath gown that embraces all things textured and beautiful from Madison James. This gorgeous fitted gown accentuates all of Scorpios curves and features a mix of lace, beading and rhinestones. Our Scorpio bride will be making a statement in this incredible gown! 

 

 

 

 

Sagittarius

 

Sagittarius is an ambitious and optimistic sign. She likes to make an impact and be the life of the party. We have chosen a ball gown from Allure for our Sagittarius bride. The beautiful gown is made of Mikado silk and features a deep sweetheart neckline for a flawless look. She is timeless in the front and party in the back with the beautiful applique and rhinestone detail. The perfect party dress for a Sagittarius bride!

 

 

 

 

Capricorn

 

Capricorn is a determined and patient sign. She has a great appreciation for the finer things in life. Capricorns are down to earth and they should have a gown that allows them to move as they please while still looking elegant. We have chosen a Lis Simon off the shoulder fit and flare gown with buttons all the way down the chapel length train. This is a timeless and comfortable gown with just enough detail for our Capricorn bride.

 

 

 

 

Aquarius 

 

Aquarius is an intelligent and altruistic sign. She tends to be a unique and eccentric person who always marches to the beat of her own drum. An Aquarian will desire a memorable and one of a kind gown. We have chosen a deep V Lis Simon fit & flare gown with intricate lace overlay and crystal tulle panel. She features detachable veil wings for our enigma Aquarius bride to create beautiful shapes and scenes for her photos.

 

 

 

 

Pisces 

 

Pisces is a romantic and intuitive sign. She is dreamy and whimsical and her wedding gown should give us the same vibes. We have chosen a flowing and soft Lis Simon A-line gown for our Pisces bride. This V neck gown features an illusion lace bodice with romantic floral lace . Any Pisces would feel like they were floating on a cloud in this dress on their wedding day.

 

 

 

We hope this can help you along your way to finding the perfect gown as well as by having a little bit of fun! Do you think we chose the right gown for your sign? Let us know!

Christmas Comes Early At The New York Bridal Market

Christmas Comes Early At The New York Bridal Market

It is just like Christmas. Before Markets, we start gathering information to be ready to pick the Wedding Dresses that will be part of our new Bridal Collection; and as much as it is my favourite thing in the world, it is not an easy task. We spend 3 days looking through thousands of gowns and picking out the gowns that will ultimately be the most special garments our Brides will one day say I do in.

I can’t help but remember my very first Bridal Market in New York 10 years ago… it definitely seems like a lifetime ago; things have definitely changed since, but the feeling I get when I walk into a Bridal Market and get to discover the new collections from my favourite designers is always the same. I find myself saying it every time, wow, they did it again, I didn’t think I could be wowed again, but here I am saying yes to so many dresses, imagining what our Brides will want, need and hope for…

Milan Market

There is something magical about Bridal Markets, my favourite one to date was Milan, it kind of was like a movie, I still remember moving in circles and not having an idea where to start because every direction I looked at was filled with so much beauty and such exquisite bridal decor. I was in Bridal heaven. It took me 4 days to finish visiting all the designers I loved and hoped to meet, but just as real love happens, there was a very special designer I fell in love with and man was it ever magic. I liked everything about this booth, it was so beautiful, I walked in, and remember telling someone I now know was not part of their team that I wanted to buy the entire collection. No wonder she didn’t seem that excited about my revelation!

Award for Best International Up and Coming Bridal Designer

If you can imagine a kid at a candy store, that was me, I didn’t leave their booth for 3.5 hours and watched 4 back to back fashion shows, met the owner of the company, his two kids and got to learn about their beautiful business and a little about the 3 generations that have worked the business since $$$$ and are passionate about making their dream of a 100% sustainable bridal line a reality by 2021. Today, after 6 months of saying YES to many, many of their dresses, I got to meet again the wonderful Rembo Styling and Marylise Bridal team at the Bridal Show in New York. It was super exciting to witness them receiving an award for the best international up-and-coming bridal designer in USA.

Excited To Share Our New Collection

As I wait to arrive and hopefully make my connection, I can’t help but think that is going to be very hard to sleep for the next few nights because of the excitement; I was once again blown away by the talent, creativity and innovation this Bridal Market showcased, it makes me so proud to be part of this industry and already feel so happy for the Brides that will get to one day, stand in front of the love of her life in that one Gown that was carefully designed for her.
