One of the fun things about being a wintertime bride is getting to wear a fun faux fur wrap.  I’ve seen several at weddings just this month and they’re so pretty and practical.  Here are a small selection from designer Fabulous Furs that are available at our own West Main Bridal.  Stay warm on your big day with a sweet and furry stole, wrap or jacket!

So happy to share these lovely new Justin Alexander gowns that West Main Bridal & Couture will be carrying this season! Included are three selections from the twelve styles they’ll be carrying samples in.   My friends at West Main Bridal tell me that Justin Alexander is a designer whose affordability does not compromise construction and quality. His designs are set apart for their attention to detail in the corsetry and form generally only found in gown collections of the highest end designers. At West Main Bridal, they feel that Justin Alexander is a couture gown designer for a non-couture price. Inspired by vintage 1950’s and ‘60’s fashion, Justin Alexander gowns are updated with modern twists making them perfect for contemporary brides.

So glad you asked!  Turns out there are lots of great new designs to be seen at West Main Bridal and here are just a few of them with some notes that Sommer sent along to share with you…

First up… Fiorella ~ Alternating diagonal pleats accentuate curves in all the right places on this Maggie Sottero stunner.  The back features a zipper closure over an inner corset with a button/loop accent.  Decadent pick-ups are highlighted by large clusters of Swarovski crystals and beads.

Next… Saige…. Delicate beaded lace falls over tiers of Bordeaux Metallic Taffeta in this stunning Maggie Sottero gown.  The back features her famous corset closure, creating a beautiful hourglass shape.  A Mocha satin waistband features handmade flowers covered in crystals, pearls and beads:

And lastly… an assortment of bridal headpieces by Jamie Slye Designs just arrived!  These are locally made using vintage fabrics, buttons, and embellishments.  Birdcage veils are a huge trend, and any of Jamie’s combs look beautiful with a birdcage or on their own.
