Simply Beautiful

Your wedding gown doesn't need to be covered in lace and rhinestones if that isn't your style. A simple fabric that drapes beautifully over your body is plenty to inspire awe as you walk down the aisle. 



Lacy Luxury

Lace is the perfect way to portray a delicate, classic, and romantic beauty. We carry wedding dresses that feature touches of lace in various spots all the way up to gowns that have beautiful lace laying over the entire dress. 



Flirty & Fun

If you want your active spirit to shine through on your wedding day, you will probably lean towards trying on bridal gowns that have lots of bounce and plenty of fabric. These always look even more amazing once you get on the dance floor. 



Sheer Elegance

For the woman that wants to glide into her wedding with poise and elegance, look for classic fitted silhouettes with accents of either luxurious lace or brilliant rhinestones and crystals.

Kind Words From Happy Brides

The very first line at the top of the Angelus Bridal & Formals website states, "Our best publicity is our last customer."  The reason that we strive to be the best wedding dress store in South Florida is because making brides happy is what we love to do.  

A wedding is one of the most special days a woman will ever experience, and we want to make sure that our part in that makes her enjoy it even more. Below you will read the thoughts of a few of our past customers. We enjoyed helping them find their dream dresses, but these kind words let us know that they enjoyed themselves too, and that means the world to us.  



"The women helping me pick out my dress were AMAZING!! My budget was "as cheap as possible" and I told them i had to find something under $500.00. They found me my dream dress for $399 (clearance) and it is perfect for me!"

~Private User, Wedding Wire Review


"This is my second time using Angelus Bridal. The first was when I needed a bridesmaids dress for my friend's wedding 3 years ago. I went in a little late and they not only accommodated me, but rush shipped my dress and had it altered perfectly. I was so pleased with the service, I went in for my own wedding dress in February of last year and ended up purchasing the 3rd one I tried on. They listened to what I wanted and helped me pick the perfect dress. They measured me so well that my dress needed no alteration. It fit absolutely perfectly first fitting! Since my mom lives out of state and was visiting me at the time, I wanted to have that experience of dress shopping with my mom and they provided that so well. My wedding on May 30th was flawless and everyone loved my dress!"

~Jessica, Wedding Wire Review

"Angelus Bridal was amazing! I was looking for a dress with very specific requirements, and their sales lady, Rhonda, was the only person who actually listened to my request. She went right to the point and gave me a selection of great dresses all along my wishes.
Ordering was very easy, and the dress arrived the day expected. They have always been very kind, friendly and lovely people! I will go back for any other special events that may come!  Thank you for making me a happy bride!" 

~Karol Mendez, Google Review


"Angelus was THE best. I visited their shop in June and fell in love with a wedding dress (at a very reasonable price). However, I am from West Virginia and knew I would be unable to return to try on the dress when it was made in my size. They shipped it to me, keeping me updated every step of the way. The staff was incredibly helpful and even wanted to see pictures of me in the dress when it finally made it's way to my home state. I highly recommend this shop to anyone."

~Leah Diane Stalnaker, Facebook Review


"You will feel very at home at Angelus, and you are in expert hands. My stylist, David, actually picked the perfect dress just from talking to me on the phone! That is true talent!
The staff here is wonderful, the dresses are quality, the owner is so polished; I was completely happy with my shopping experience. Go!"

~Diane Southwood-Smith, Google Review


"I had anxiety at the thought of dress shopping. My sister called around to a few dress places to find out who carried a certain designer I was looking for. She spoke to Rhonda and told me that we have to make this location our 1st stop as Rhonda was amazing and helpful over the phone. She was totally right!! I made an appointment and Stephanie and Rhonda were the ones who helped me. I picked out about 10 dresses and Rhonda picked out 2 dresses and told me she wanted me to try them on b/c they would look great on my body type. At 1st look, it seemed like nothing I would want. However, I was very open minded knowing they are the professionals and I tried both of them on and one ended up with my perfect dress! Actually the 2 Rhonda picked out for me were my top 2 choices. Rhonda was there every step of the way and was beyond helpful! My dress was delayed a bit and she remained in communication with me and put me at ease. Rhonda went above and beyond during this process and made my experience amazing. I even had her come to the hotel to help put me in my dress as it was a corset and she was able to tug, nip and push things around to make me look amazing!"

~Private User, Wedding Wire Review

"As a bride planning her wedding about a year and 3 months ahead I enjoyed my very first experience here at the store. At first I was hesitant because I went bridal dress shopping on my own, but when I entered David (I believe) made me feel like it was okay to come and look at the dresses in the store. Of course I convinced myself that I could try dresses on. Within minutes I started perusing through the dresses when Rhonda came and found me. She gave me a big smile and asked if she could help me with my selections. She made me feel comfortable, especially since it was my first time doing this for myself. Of course I tried a two dresses on and it was eh, then Rhonda asked if she could select something that she believed was made for me. Within seconds she returned, She placed me in the mermaid style sleeveless dress in within moments I could not stop staring at myself. I was speechless. Rhonda knew exactly what brought out my personality with the va va voom I was looking for. She described that the dress made me look like I was transitioning from young woman to Woman. She did everything right, down to explaining everything about the dress to me and the process of payments. She did not pressure me into getting the dress but allowed me feel truly special. I will be returning for my dress soon!"

14 Fun Facts for National Weddings Month

February is National Weddings Month, so the best wedding dress store in South Florida decided this was an excellent time to share a few fun wedding facts with everyone.  This Sunday is Valentine's Day, so "14" seemed like a lovely number to shoot for.  We may be a bit partial to the more fashionable facts here at Angelus Bridal & Formals, but there are some other subjects tossed in there too. 



1.  Before 1840, brides simply wore their best dress to get married in.  Queen Victoria's wedding gown began the Western world's trend of brides wearing white. 

2. This wasn't a new trend for Japan. Their brides traditionally wore white already. Then they often would change to a colored dress, usually red, at some point during the festivities. 

3. Brides in Asia are known to wear a robe with cranes embroidered on it. These symbolize fidelity for the length of the marriage. 

4. The tradition of wearing a veil with your bridal gown came about in ancient Greek and Roman times because they believed that it protected the bride from evil spirits.


5. The very first diamond engagement ring was commissioned by Archduke Maximillian of Austria in 1477 for Mary of Burgundy.  

6. A sapphire in a wedding ring represents marital happiness.  

7. An aquamarine ring is symbolic of marital harmony and said to ensure a long, happy marriage.   

8. The reason that the "ring finger" on your left hand was chosen to place your engagement and wedding rings on is because it was once believed that the vein in that particular finger led directly to your heart.  

9. In Sweden, a bride places a silver coin from her father and a gold coin from her mother in each shoe.  This is said to ensure that she will never do without.  

10. If you choose to wear gloves as part of your wedding attire, take a tip from Greek culture and tuck a sugar cube into it.  This will sweeten your union.

11. Beware if you are wishing for good luck on your wedding day from an Egyptian woman.  They pinch the bride to give her good luck!

12. The wedding cake tradition stems from ancient Romans breaking a loaf of bread over the bride's head for fertility.  Hopefully your groom knows you well enough to know if it's okay to "smash" the cake at you, or wisely skip doing that.  

13. The word "honeymoon" originated from an ancient Norse tradition.  Couples would go into hiding after the wedding and a member of their family would bring them a cup of honey wine for 30 days (or one moon.)

14. The two busiest days for wedding ceremonies in Las Vegas are the upcoming Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve.  


Lots of engagements are inspired this time of year due to Valentine's Day.  If you are one of the lucky ladies that find yourself the recipient of this incredible gift, you will want to give Angelus Bridal & Formals a call soon to make your shopping appointment.  We will help you find the best wedding dress in South Florida to accentuate your beauty and style.

Romantic Wedding Ideas

Valentine's Day is near, love is in the air, and romance is on our minds.  Weddings can convey whatever type of feel that best fits you as a couple.  Our South Florida bridal salon has witnessed everything from quirky & fun to elegant & high-brow.  Today, in honor of the upcoming holiday, Angelus Bridal & Formals would like to share a few romantic wedding ideas for your ceremony and reception.  

Candles

The soft glow of candles in a lowly lit room lends to a very romantic feel in an environment. They work perfectly with flowers or in place of them altogether.   Use them as centerpieces, on wall ledges, even along the aisle or around the dance floor.  



Twinkle Lights

These give you the glow of a candle, but since they are not actual flames, can be placed in many more places.  Strung within tulle strands draped over the dance floor makes it look like the stars are out above everyone.  Underneath the head table behind a sheer table cover makes it look as if fairies have graced your reception for a fairy tale feel. 



Flower Petals

Full blooms can get pricey, but sprinkling rose petals everywhere brings both the scent of flowers and the beauty.  Petals tend to give an ethereal feel to the wedding decor. 

Quotes

A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes you don't need that many.  Placing a few sweet quotes in various places around the wedding can put sweet thoughts in your guests' minds.  



Soft Colors

Pastels seem to be the colors that give off a romantic presence when used.  Light and airy shades such as pinks, light blues, and lilacs are very dreamy. Your bridesmaid dresses can reflect the feel that you are going for, as well as your our own bridal gown.   



Your Wedding Dress

Romantic wedding gowns generally have a flowing look and feel to them.  Lace is an intricate and romantic fabric.  If you are going for more of a fairy tale type of romance, then a ball gown is absolutely perfect.  Possibly add flowers to your hair or pearls to your accessories.   
  



These are only a few of the amazing things that you can do to host a romantic wedding.  A good way to set the entire style of how you will be decorating your wedding is to begin by choosing a wedding dress.  Once you find "the one," the rest of your decisions may just fall into place.  Angelus Bridal & Formals has an entire store full of dresses that will make you feel romantic, sexy, playful, elegant... however you want to appear, we will help you find the perfect dress for that.
