Create Your Own Wedding Dress With Our Mix & Match Separates

A wonderful way to personalize the most beautiful bridal gowns in South Florida is with gorgeous accessories, such as bridal belts, headpieces, and jewelry. If you simply can't find a bridal gown that seems to match your personal style, the exquisite mix & match bridal separates at Angelus Bridal & Formals may be exactly what you need to create a unique look that's all your own!

Increase Your Choices
Many times we have had brides find dresses with the perfect skirt, but they don't quite like the top, or vice versa. Our mix & match separates let you put together numerous combinations of different wedding day looks to choose from. Somewhere within those combinations, your perfect bridal gown is waiting to be discovered.

Create a Unique Look
Another excellent benefit to searching through our mix & match bridal collection is that you have a chance to put together pieces that will turn into a style that is unique to you. It is easier for you own personal style to shine through when you have a hand in creating the final look. A designer created those pieces, but you have the stylish eye to match the perfect two for you.

Get a Better Fit
There are as many different body types and shapes in this world as there are women. Not everyone is proportioned in the same way, and sometimes general gown sizes don't fit quite right in every area. Buying mix & match pieces for your wedding dress allows you to find a bottom and top that each fit that section of your body, meaning fewer alterations may be needed.

Have 2 Wedding Day Looks
Lots of brides like to have one gown for the ceremony and a completely different look for the reception. This can be easily accomplished with our mix & match separates. Instead of purchasing two complete dresses, you only have to find the perfect top, then pick out two different skirts to get the alternate styles you are looking for. Of course, the opposite works too, if you want to change up the look of the top rather than the bottom.

Experience "Love At First Sight!"
Our South Florida bridal salon has a wonderful program in place that allows you to receive some excellent discounts on your bridal accessories. When you fall in love with the wedding dress of your dreams at Angelus Bridal & Formals on your first visit to our store (which is easy to do!) and buy the gown on that same visit, we will give you 20% off the purchase of bridal veils and headpieces!

In addition to that, your bridesmaids will benefit too! As an added bonus to taking advantage of this special deal, your girls will be automatically eligible for $30 off of each new bridesmaid gown purchased for your wedding on dresses priced at $159.95 or more. If the gowns that they choose cost less than that, they can still receive 10% off of their purchase.

We have a multitude of exquisite gowns at Angelus Bridal, and our talented consultants will do everything possible to help you find "the one." Make an appointment today by calling 954-943-7768 to see it all for yourself!

Helpful Tips For Choosing Your Bridal Bouquet

One wedding dress accessory that you will need to decide on is a beautiful bouquet to complement that gorgeous gown you found at our South Florida bridal salon. It will need to look good with the dress you have chosen without taking attention away from your wedding day fashion. Here are a few tips from Angelus Bridal to help you pick out the perfect bridal bouquet.

Show the florist your dress.
You may not want the groom to see the bridal gown before the wedding day, but it's perfectly okay to show it to your florist. As a matter of fact, it's encouraged. Being able to see the wedding dress will help your florist to suggest bouquet designs that complement the overall look. If you are trying to match the dress color, either with blooms or accents on the bouquet, provide the florist with a swatch from the dress so that they can match the shade as closely as possible.

Decide on size and shape.
If the wedding dress that you fell in love with has a simple front and the train is the most impressive feature, then you may want to dress up the front with a more extravagant bouquet. On the other hand, a bridal gown that features a lot of exquisite details to focus on will work better with a small, simple bouquet. The key is for the two elements to work together, not against each other. As a rule of thumb, the bridal bouquet should be smaller than your waist so that it accentuates your natural shape.

Choose seasonal flowers.
Find out which flowers will be in season at the time of your wedding before getting your heart set on a particular bloom. There are lots of gorgeous flowers to pick from every season, so it's best to begin your search with the ones that are easiest to get for your wedding's time of year. Your florist may be able to order out-of-season flowers, but this option can get extremely pricey.

Be comfortable.
You won't have your bouquet in your hands all day long, but most likely for a good portion of it. Choose a design that is not awkward to hold. When you head down the aisle, hold the bouquet below your hip and slightly away from your dress. This allows your shoulders to remain relaxed and open, which improves your posture and allows for very natural looking photographs. Instruct your bridesmaids to hold their flowers the same way.

Personalize it.
The bridal bouquet is a perfect place to add your own personal touches. It may be in the flowers that you choose, picking ones that invoke happy memories from your past like the flowers that grew in your grandmother's yard when you were young, or the kind your groom brought to you on your first date. It's a wonderful place to add a pop of color to your wedding day look, either with the flowers or with ribbon accents added to it. Family heirloom brooches look beautiful incorporated into a bridal bouquet. If there are family members that are no longer with you, you can tie a small picture of them with a pretty ribbon into your flowers so they can walk down the aisle with you.

The first step is to search through the most beautiful wedding dresses in South Florida at our store to find your dream bridal gown. Our talented consultants can help you with that, and once it's done, you can move on to picking out all of the other lovely accessories, including the bouquet, to complete your gorgeous wedding day look. Angelus Bridal & Formals can get you started on your wedding fashion journey, plus offer advice on all that goes with it to turn you into an amazing bride.

Dress Shopping Tips For the Mothers of the Bride & Groom

Finding the perfect mother of the bride dress isn't always an easy task. This is an extremely special occasion, and you will want to look timeless and memorable in all of those wedding photos. The same goes for the mother of the groom. Both of you can get an easy start to your search by trying on the exquisite mother of the bride gowns that we carry in our South Florida bridal salon. The following helpful tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals will also be extremely useful.

First, talk to the bride and groom.
This dress that you are looking for is all yours, but the wedding itself is all about the bride and groom. Start by asking the couple about the vision they have for the wedding day fashions. Use their wishes for the overall look of the event to guide your gown choice. Their suggestions will lead you to styles and colors to get your search underway.

Borrow from the wedding style.
Many of the wedding details planned can help you decide what type mother of the bride dress will work best. First of all, the formality of the wedding will play a big part in your decision. So will the look of the venue, the bridesmaids' dresses, the bridal gown style, and the colors chosen to decorate with.

Maintain your personal style.
You can let the factors listed above guide you, but make sure that the final decision is also based on your own personal style. While the bride and groom want you to coordinate with the rest of the wedding party's look, they won't want to to wear anything that you don't feel like yourself in. The accessories that you choose are a wonderful way to accomplish this.

Coordinate with the other mother.
It's always nice when the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom can work together to coordinate their looks. Neither one of you wants to accidentally show up in the same dress as the other woman, or in a gown that looks as if it is competing with the other. The photos will look even more beautiful when the two of you wear dresses that look nice next to each other. Tradition dictates that the bride's mother gets first choice.

Start shopping early.
The earlier you begin shopping, the more likely you are to find the perfect dress. Starting too late will make you feel as if you have to rush, not letting you truly find "the one." Also, there is a good chance that the dress you decide on will need to be ordered, and possibly have a few alterations made once it comes in. You'll want plenty of time to find the best accessories too. Get started early so you have enough time to take your time.

You will find the best mother of the bride dresses in South Florida when you come in for you shopping appointment at Angelus Bridal. Let us know what you have in mind, and our talented consultants will guide you to many exquisite choices.

5 Questions To Ask To Find The Perfect Clothing For The Groom

Our South Florida bridal salon spends a lot of time talking about fabulous wedding fashions for the bride, but there is one other person that needs to look their very best on the wedding day - the groom. Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few questions here that you can ask to make finding the perfect clothing for him a little easier.

How formal is the wedding?
This simple fact can greatly narrow down your choices. Daytime weddings on the beach are usually more casual, allowing the groom to skip the suit jacket and look for lighter fabrics. If you're planning a black-tie affair, then he will begin his search in the tuxedo section. Once you've decided how formal you expect everyone else to dress at your wedding, the groom can start thinking about his own look.

When is the wedding?
The time of day and time of year that you are getting married are facts that can help you determine the formality of your ceremony and reception. This will also affect the type of clothing that the groom will be most comfortable in. Daytime weddings are often more relaxed fashion-wise than evening celebrations. The season will also determine the type of fabrics that the groom will want to wear.

What style is the bride wearing?
You probably won't want to the groom to see you in your beautiful wedding dress before the big day, but you can give him a general idea of the style of your gown to help him know the overall look you should both be going for. Your fashions should compliment each other as much as possible. Guide him to find a style without actually seeing what you've picked out. Showing him the bridesmaid dresses, which should also compliment your bridal gown, may be helpful.

What is he comfortable in?
Once the formality and overall style are narrowed down, a very important factor in finding the perfect clothing for the groom is comfort. He'll be wearing this suit for a long time, moving around a lot, standing for long periods of time, and probably doing quite a bit of dancing. His clothing needs to be comfortable enough to allow all of that. A perfect fit lends to good comfort, so proper measurements and custom fitting is key. It's also okay for him to get used to the feel of the suit by wearing it around the house a little bit. It's especially important that he breaks in brand new shoes before the big day.

How will the groom stand out?
If there will be groomsmen in your wedding, they will be dressed in a similar fashion to the groom, sometimes wearing the exact same style of suit. The groom deserves to stand out from the crowd, and this can be done with a special boutonniere, having him wear a different color tie or jacket from the other men, or putting him in a vest and the groomsmen in cummerbunds, for example. Anything that makes him look a little different and stand out from the group of guys in a special way will work.

Answering the questions above will start you on the path to finding the perfect wedding day look for your soon-to-be-spouse. Angelus Bridal & Formals has an in-house tuxedo rental area, so you can bring your groom to our South Florida bridal boutique to see what we have to offer. If you have any questions at all, we'll be happy to give you the answers.
