Gorgeous Quinceanera Dresses For Beautiful Young Women

The wedding dress of your dreams awaits you at Angelus Bridal & Formals, but if you're not quite old enough for that memorable event in your life, we've got some beautiful fashions for young ladies too. You can find the best quinceanera dresses in South Florida at our salon. If you know a lovely young girl that is about to celebrate her journey into womanhood, we've go the perfect thing for her to wear! 

Quinceanera History
Today, just as in the past, a quinceanera is the celebration of a young girl's transition into womanhood at the age of 15. It has cultural roots in Latin America, but is now commonly celebrated throughout the Americas. As far back as 500 B.C., Aztec culture marked the age of 15 as the time that boys became warriors and young ladies were ready to be mothers of future warriors. 

Times have changed, and instead of considering a girl an adult at 15, it is viewed as her no longer being a child, but but entering young adulthood. She is ready for certain privileges associated with womanhood that she is now considered mature enough to handle. 


Colorful Gowns
Quinceanera gowns were at one time commonly white, similar to a wedding dress, without the train or veil. Today, they are available in a rainbow of gorgeous colors. The style is formal with a very full skirt, but our South Florida quinceanera dress shop also carries convertible gowns that the skirt can be removed from for a less formal look. 

When your 14-year-old begins searching for the perfect quinceanera dress, let the color be influenced by her personality and personal style. After all, this celebration is all about her reaching an age where she is old enough to make more grown-up decisions. With the wide variety of choices available, there are sure to be many colors that you can both agree on.    



Quinceanera Dress Shopping Tips
To make finding the most beautiful quinceanera dress in South Florida easier to do, we've got a few helpful tips for you to keep in mind. 



  • Make an appointment - Having an appointment to shop for a quinceanera dress guarantees that you will have the consultant's undivided attention. The scheduled time is all yours, with no other customers interrupting, and the consultant there to answer any questions you may have. 
  • Ask questions - If you aren't sure about something, it never hurts to ask. As a matter of fact, it usually is the best thing that you can do to make sure you get exactly what you want. Angelus Bridal & Formals has years worth of experience when it comes to special occasion dresses, and we are here to help in every way that we can.
  • Be adventurous - Don't feel like you have to stick to one particular type of gown. Try on a wide variety of different styles, fabrics, and colors to discover which one looks the best on your body. Dresses look much different on a person than they do on a hanger or in a picture, so you'll never know until you try it on. 
Once you find that perfect quinceanera gown in our Pompano Beach special occasion dress store, we can also help you find all of the stunning accessories to go along with it, like tiaras, gloves, jewelry, and more. This is a very special time in a young woman's life. Let Angelus Bridal & Formals help to make it a memorable occasion she will never forget.

5 Things To Look For In Your Perfect Wedding Dress

Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding dress once she becomes engaged (and some start dreaming long before that!) Our bridal salon in South Florida helps women find amazing bridal gowns every day. What makes a specific dress the right one for you? Angelus Bridal has come up with a few ways for you to know when you find "The One." 


It looks good on you.
More than likely, you will go ga-ga over many different wedding dresses that you see in magazines or while browsing online. Know going into your shopping appointment that just because a gown looks amazing on paper, it may not look so flattering once you put it on. Try on a variety of styles and silhouettes until you find the one that looks best on your body, then continue your search within that flattering style. 

It makes you feel good.

If you've seen any romantic movies or watched wedding dress shows on TV, you know that the majority of the women in them tear up and get sentimental when they look in the mirror wearing the perfect dress. While that can be exaggerated a little bit for the camera in some cases, when you slip into the bridal gown that was meant for you, you really will just know it. Don't convince yourself to love a dress that you aren't excited about. Listen to your heart and wait for that feeling. Just like the perfect man to marry, your dress is out there, so wait for it. You'll find each other!  

It's comfortable.

After listening to your heart, let your head chime in too. If you are getting married on a beach, then a great big bouncy ball gown may not be the easiest thing to wear on the sand. Also, even if you look amazing in a strapless gown, if you will constantly be worried about it falling down, then you won't be comfortable wearing it for the hours involved in a wedding. Find the right fit and a wedding dress that makes you feel like the VIP that you are, but make sure you can dance the night away in it and still be comfortable enough to have an amazing time. 

It fits in your budget. 

Nothing is worse than falling in love with something that you can't have. Wedding budgets are important so that your spending does not get out of hand and cause unnecessary stress on your new marriage. Angelus Bridal & Formals has a great big store filled with lots and lots of gorgeous bridal gowns in every price range. You will be able to find an affordable wedding dress that looks fantastic, feels incredible, and you'll be thrilled to walk down the aisle in. You may even be lucky enough to find your dream dress within our clearance section, which features over 300 exquisite wedding dresses in all sizes, from size 4 up to size 30, and each of them are marked at 50% off the regular price!    

It will be ready on time.
Bridal gown shopping should begin early in your wedding planning. Your wedding dress will need to be ordered, which can take months to come in, and there may be alterations necessary once it does arrive. Even if you find your dream dress at a sample sale or in the clearance section of our South Florida bridal boutique and can take it home right away, you will want to leave enough time before the wedding for alterations and finding bridal accessories. If you wait until the last minute, you may end up having to settle for whatever is available and already fits. 


Find the Perfect Wedding Dress at Angelus Bridal
It's not hard to find the perfect wedding dress, it just takes a little bit of time and patience. If you happen to fall in love with the perfect one on your first visit to Angelus Bridal & Formals, we have an added special just for you. (We've seen it happen many times!) 

Love at first sight "pays" when you purchase a bridal gown on your first shopping trip to our Pompano Beach bridal store, because we will give you 20% off of the purchase of a bridal veil and headpiece. As an added bonus, we will offer a discount for all bridesmaid dresses purchased at Angelus Bridal too. Make an appointment soon to shop with us, and our talented consultants will help guide your search for the perfect dress to wear at your wedding.

5 Resolutions To Make Wedding Planning Easier

The beginning of a new year often causes people to want to make New Year's resolutions in an effort to better their life. If you are planning an upcoming wedding, our South Florida bridal salon has come up with a few wedding planning resolutions that you may want to try out. Incorporating these ideas will hopefully make the entire process a little easier for you, and Angelus Bridal & Formals wants you to enjoy this time with as little stress as possible. 


Get Organized
One of the most important things that you can do for yourself during the wedding planning is to keep all of your wedding information in one, easily accessible place. A binder can hold all of your signed contracts, notes, magazine clippings, contact lists, appointments, etc... With every bit of information in one place, you should always be able to find answers quickly. 

The only down side is that a binder can be misplaced, and papers may make their way out of it. We highly suggest keeping a digital copy of everything too. That way, in the unfortunate instance that the binder disappears, all of your information is still retrievable. Make sure that your soon-to-be-spouse, and maybe even your maid of honor, have access to the files too. 

Don't Procrastinate
A wedding planning checklist is not there to add to your stress-level, but rather to keep everything on track and moving forward. Once you have your tasks prioritized, get them done! The key is to be aware of the timeline on each one, then tackle each step in order, one-at-a-time. There is a very wonderful feeling that comes with being able to cross a finished item off the list, giving you the confidence needed to move on to the next one.

You don't always have to find extra time for these things. There are lots of things that can be multi-tasked, like packing and addressing invitations while you watch television. Large list items don't have to be done all at once either. If something can be broken up into smaller, quickly handled tasks, every little bit helps. An example would be to fill out thank you cards as gifts are received instead of waiting until after the wedding to do them all at once. 

Work Together
A husband and wife are a team, but that teamwork shouldn't wait to begin after you say "I do." Take on the wedding planning together. This will help to get things done twice as fast, and you will both be there to give your personal input the entire time, assuring that the wedding reflects the both of you. 

Things will get done even faster if you both ask for additional help from others that you trust. Family members often want to help out in some way, and your wedding party will be happy to lend a hand if needed. There are plenty of things needing to be done that these people can handle, so let them. 

Stick To Your Budget
It's easy to get excited about adding a few things here and there while you are out and about shopping for wedding items, especially the closer the date gets. That adorable $5 centerpiece addition may not seem like much money to spend, until you multiply it by the number of tables at the wedding. If the decorations that you already planned and paid for don't really need the extra stuff, skip it. 

The whole reason for picking a budget in the first place is so that you don't end up with huge bills rolling in after the wedding is over. With proper planning, you can have an amazing celebration with the money you have set aside for it, and sticking to your budget means you won't look back with any regrets, ruining some of the happy memories.

Remember To Have Fun!
Possibly the most important piece of advice that we can offer you is this: Always remember to enjoy this moment! Throwing the wedding of your dreams can seem overwhelming at some points during the planning, but you have to keep in mind the reason for all of it - you get to marry the person you love and spend the rest of your lives together! If you find yourself stressing out, take a break. Make a date for the two of you where no wedding talk is allowed. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't hurt to make that a weekly date.

Don't sweat the small stuff either. The wedding won't fall apart if the napkins are ivory instead of white. It may not be exactly what you had in mind, but everyone will still have a napkin and most likely won't even notice the color. Save your worrying for the important stuff that really matters. 


When you get to the portion of your planning involving wedding fashion, begin your search at our bridal boutique in South Florida. Our knowledgeable staff is here to make that part easy for you. Each bride has our undivided attention while she is here for a shopping appointment, as well as the benefit of our fashionable and affordable gowns, immense experience in this field, and superior customer service. 

The fact that Angelus Bridal & Formals is also considered a "one-stop-shop" is extremely helpful too. After we help you find gorgeous gowns for everyone in your bridal party to wear, you will be able to visit with the other vendors at our Pompano Beach wedding store to take care of tuxedo rentals, makeup, photography, cake design, and more. Happy New Year, and happy wedding planning!
