Helpful Advice for a Wonderful Wedding Dress Fitting

Even when the most meticulous measurements are taken by an expert, it is rare that the wedding dress you ordered will fit your body perfectly. Every woman is built differently, so most likely at least a few alterations will be needed once your bridal gown arrives. Angelus Bridal & Formals has put together some helpful tips to make sure your wedding dress fitting appointment at our South Florida bridal salon goes as smoothly as possible. 

Buy the size you NEED...
NOT  the size you hope to be on the wedding day. This tip pertains more to the wedding dress purchase rather than the fitting, but it's an important point to mention. Many brides think that if they order a bridal gown that is too small, it will encourage them to lose weight before the wedding. The problem is, if they don't lost that weight, then they've got a dress that doesn't fit! A talented seamstress can work magic, but it's much simpler to make a dress smaller than it is to try to make it bigger. Adding too much fabric can drastically change the original look of the dress.

It may help to remind you that no one will be seeing that size tag except for you, so it really doesn't matter what the number on it says. Ignore the number and pick a gown that looks and feels good. Also, if your body isn't necessarily the same size all over, buy to fit the larger part. Once again, it's easier to take part of the dress in than to let it out.

Don't procrastinate. 
As soon as your wedding dress arrives at our wedding dress store in Pompano Beach, get your first fitting scheduled, even if it's a few weeks away. The most convenient times always book up first, so the earlier you book, the better chance you have of getting a time that fits into your schedule. You want the seamstress to have plenty of time to make your alterations without having to rush through it.

Always bring...
the shoes and undergarments that will be worn on the wedding day to every bridal gown fitting. The seamstress will be fashioning the adjustments to fit your body, and even the slightest change could make a huge difference. The size of the heel you have on affects where the hem will fall, and if you use a different bra than the one you had on at the fitting, the bodice of your wedding dress could end up too loose or too tight. 

Move around in the gown.
Before any final alterations are made, move around in the gown to make sure it is comfortable. Walk, sit, even dance a little bit so that any problems with the fit can be addressed right away and you can be your most comfortable on the wedding day.

Bring a helper to the final fitting.
Wedding dresses often require a bit of assistance to get into and your seamstress will know the best ways to get the gown on you and adjusted correctly. Bring someone with you to the final fitting so that they can be instructed on how to help you get ready on the wedding day. Also have someone show your helper how to properly bustle the dress for the wedding reception. Knowing how to do this will save a lot of time and unnecessary stress.

Use a seamstress you trust.
Angelus Bridal can connect you with one of our talented seamstresses that have been altering bridal gowns for many years and know exactly how to do it right. If you don't want to take our word for it, it may help you to look at reviews from past brides that they have worked with. Once you know that this is a person you can trust, you'll be much more comfortable leaving the alteration decisions to the experts. 

Our seamstresses know what works on each gown and what won't. You can give them your suggestions while knowing that they will be able to translate that into a wedding dress that fits as if it was designed specifically for your body. 

After you have purchased your dream bridal gown at our bridal gown store in South Florida, we will be happy to point you in the direction of one of our talented seamstresses. Angelus Bridal is a one-stop bridal shop, so we'll not only help you find the perfect wedding dress, but we can also help you with many of the other decisions that need to be made for your wedding day. 

On-site you can talk with an alteration specialist, photographer, cake designer, makeup artist, florist, and even find tuxedos for the men at the wedding. The experts at our salon are here to help you have the best wedding day ever!

20 Wedding Tips That May Not Have Crossed Your Mind (Part 2)

Last week's blog covered 10 of our 20 Wedding Tips That May Not Have Crossed Your Mind (Part 1), and today our wedding dress store in South Florida will be completing that list with tips #11-20. Even with all of the many wedding planning checklists available, there are still a few things that often slip through the cracks. 

These are things that you probably wouldn't even think about until you've lived through the situation. Your wedding day is most likely something you won't be doing twice (until you're ready to plan a beautiful vow renewal a few years down the road) so Angelus Bridal & Formals is here to point out a few of the things that we have learned from our own experience and those of our lovely brides.   

• Surrender your cell phone to your maid of honor, and suggest that the groom give his to the best man. They will be nearby if you get an important call during the day, and your friends should be able to answer any questions vendors may have, or at least know when the best time is to ask you. You only need the phone in your hand if you want to send your future spouse a sweet message or for the occasional wedding day selfie with your wedding party. Other than that, unplug and enjoy the experience of this special day!
  
  
• Have a button up shirt or robe to wear while you get ready for the ceremony. This will allow you to get dressed when it's time without having to pull a shirt over your head, ruining all the work that went into your hair and makeup.
  
  
• Do not wear socks or a bra while you are getting ready. They can leave marks on your ankles, back, and shoulders that may not go away before it's time to walk down the aisle.
  
  
• Keep straws in your bag to use when you take a drink. This will keep your lipstick from smudging, meaning far fewer touchups.
  
  
• Have snacks and water available for you and your wedding party while you are getting ready, and make sure everyone eats something. It's going to be a long, busy day and you're going to need plenty of energy, and it may be a while before you get to eat again at the reception.
  
  
• Before heading down the aisle, put on hand lotion. This will help the wedding ring to slide on your finger more easily.
  
  
• Once you are down the aisle standing next to your gorgeous groom, turn and look back at your guests to capture a mental picture of this moment and everyone sharing this special day with you.
  
  
• Ask your caterer or wedding planner to make a "to-go" box filled with some of the food items from your reception. It's not unusual for couples to be having so much fun that they don't take the time to sit down and eat. This way you don't miss out on that delicious meal you ordered, and you have something waiting for you later when you realize how hungry you are.
  
  
• If you arranged transportation for the entire wedding party to get to the ceremony and reception, they won't have a car there when it's time to leave. Make sure that you also arrange for them all to get home safely once the event is over.
  
  
• If you used a lot of fresh flower arrangements as decorations for your wedding, that means you will have a lot of arrangements needing a home afterward. If you don't have a large enough wedding party or family to send them home with, consider donating the flowers to a nursing home or hospital to make someone else's day special too.
  
  

The more prepared you are for your wedding day, the better chance you have of avoiding problems that could arise. Even if a few things don't go exactly as you expected, as long as you are married to your true love at the end of the day, then it was a huge success! 

All of us here at our South Florida bridal salon, as well as future brides reading this blog, would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. If you have advice that you have been given for the wedding day or you are a bride that has already gotten married and would like to share your own experience, please comment here or on our Angelus Bridal social media channels. You just may have an important tip up your sleeve that will help to make another couple's wedding day even more special.

20 Wedding Tips That May Not Have Crossed Your Mind (Part 1)

There are lots and lots of things to think of when you are planning a wedding, and thankfully there are also lots of checklists available to help you cover most of your bases. Even so, there will be some things that you won't find on any checklist, but rather from the experience of past brides that have been through it or from an experienced wedding vendor, like the experts at our Pompano Beach bridal boutique. 

We have been through plenty of weddings over the years, so Angelus Bridal has a list of a few helpful things that you may not think of on your own. Once we started writing, the list got a bit long, so this week we'll feature 10 tips for the wedding planning stage, and next week's blog will feature tips that will be helpful on the wedding day. 

• While you are making your list of "must-have" songs for your reception DJ or band, also make a "DO NOT PLAY" list of music you absolutely don't want to hear on your special day.
  
• Show more than one person that will be at the wedding how to bustle your wedding dress. That way you aren't searching for the only person that knows how when you're ready or left trying to "figure it out" at the last minute.
  
• Designate a wedding helper (or a few) that will be in charge of getting important items from the ceremony to the reception, such as gifts, the guest book, extra programs, decorations being used at both venues, etc... This "job" is often overlooked until the last minute.
  
• Designate a post-wedding helper too that will make sure rentals get returned, decorations get picked up, and everything gets to where it needs to be after the reception. If you don't, it will be harder for you to leave at the end of the evening. Also, make sure someone is in charge of getting the wedding gifts to your home, or at least to your hotel room for the night.
  
• Practice walking in your wedding day shoes. Even if it is a heel size that you are used to, you'll want to break them in a little so they won't be stiff and new on the wedding day. Also, walk in them with your bridal gown on so that you will know ahead of time if you need to take any special precautions so as not to snag the heel on your dress.
  
• Practice using the restroom in your bridal gown. Yes, you read that right! As strange as it sounds, some special occasion dresses are difficult to get in and out of a small bathroom or stall. There is a chance you may need help, and it's best to know that before it's an emergency. Sometimes, especially with a very full skirt, it may be easiest to sit down facing the back of the toilet. It may look and feel strange, but if it keeps your dress out of the way, it's worth it!
  
• Rehearse your wedding vows out loud, even if you aren't writing your own. Nerves can get the better of anyone in front of a crowd, but if you've said the words a few times already, it's going to be a lot easier for you to get through them on the wedding day. 
  
• If you have wedding vendors that need to be paid or tipped on the wedding day, organize those payments in labeled envelopes ahead of time. That way you can ask someone you trust, like a maid of honor or best man, to pass them out so you don't have to worry about it while you are celebrating.
  
• Ask the photographer to capture a photo of the entire ceremony room when you walk down the aisle. This not only gives you a lovely shot of the back of your beautiful bridal gown, but also the looks on all of your guests' faces while they watch you walk in!
  
• Plan a private getaway for just the two of you. We aren't talking about the honeymoon, but rather during the wedding celebration. Plan some time into the schedule of the day, either before the reception or at some point during it, to sneak away to a quiet spot and simply enjoy the moment with each other. Your guests can do without you for a little while.

Those 10 tips will give you a few things to think about until next week when Angelus Bridal & Formals will have 10 more tips for you. This information will come in handy to help make your wedding day the best one ever. When you need help making sure that your wedding day fashions are the best ever, our wedding dress store in South Florida is happy to answer any and all questions you may have.

Quick-Fix Tips For Last Minute Problems With the Groom's Wedding Clothing

Most people assume that it is easy for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready on the wedding day - they just "throw on a suit" and they're done. When they're lucky, it's that simple, but men can run into all kinds of obstacles when they are ready to get dressed for the wedding. Angelus Bridal & Formals has listed a few possible wardrobe problems for the groom in today's blog, along with tips for fixing them. 

Wrong Size
If you rent the tuxedoes or suit for the groom and groomsmen, it is very likely that you won't see them until right before the wedding day. If a measurement was written down wrong or there was a mistake in shipping, the clothing may not fit as well as you would like. In that case, if one of the groomsman's suits fits the groom better, they can make a trade. It is much more important for the groom to look his best, and that groomsman is sure to have his back on this.

If the shirt collar is too tight, you can loop a rubber band through the buttonhole and around the button. This can easily be hidden with a carefully placed necktie. Should you end up with pants that are a bit snug, safety pins can be looped together and used to fasten the pants. This unique rigging can then be covered up with the cummerbund or he can keep the coat buttoned to hide it. 

Ripped Seam
Hopefully the bride or wedding planner has a well-stocked wedding day emergency kit on hand and someone can quickly sew the seam back together. If not, or there's simply not enough time to sew it, you may be able to turn the garment inside-out, hold it together at the seam, and use safety pins to tightly fasten it back together. As a last resort, a stapler or duct tape will work too, but be extra careful when removing those after the wedding so as not to damage the fabric. 

Sweat Stains
Grooms, as well as brides, can easily get nervous before the wedding begins. It's a big deal, so nerves are perfectly normal! Nervous people tend to perspire, as well as anyone getting married on a hot day in a suit coat. Taking precautions ahead of time can avoid sweat stains from showing. 

An undershirt will absorb perspiration before it can reach the outer layer of clothing, and this can be replaced with a dry one between the ceremony and reception if necessary. You can also buy underarm garment shields to place under the armpits and soak up any extra perspiration. Your groom may also want to bring along an extra button-down shirt to change into before the reception begins, and of course, he shouldn't get completely dressed for the ceremony until the very last possible minute. 

No Boutonniere
If for some reason any of the men in your wedding party need a boutonniere but you find yourself short, pluck a few flowers from a centerpiece or your bridesmaids' bouquets. These can be gathered together with string or tape and creatively pinned so that the fastener doesn't show. It is very unlikely that anyone will notice that some of the boutonnieres are slightly different than the rest. 

Our South Florida bridal boutique is a one-stop-shop when it comes to many of the things that you will need for your wedding in addition to the beautiful bridal gown and gorgeous bridesmaid dresses. We also feature an in-house photographer, cake designer, makeup artist, florist, seamstress, and tuxedo rentals. (That tuxedo rental team is excellent at making sure the correct measurements are taken every time!) Visit us at Angelus Bridal & Formals for magnificent wedding day fashions, exceptional customer service, and so much more!

5 Ways To Combine Your Mother's Wedding Day Look With Your Own

Mother's Day is this Sunday, which of course has moms on our mind. Mothers play a very special part in getting you to where you are today. She undoubtedly was a beautiful bride on her own wedding day, and incorporating her wedding day look into your own is a wonderful way to honor her. Angelus Bridal & Formals has come up with a few ways that you can do that and still let your own personal style shine through. 

Wear Her Wedding Dress
Most of the bridal gowns at our wedding dress store in Pompano Beach have a timeless look that can be worn fashionably, no matter what style is currently popular. If your mother has a bridal gown to pass down to you that you absolutely love, you may be able to wear it as is and come to Angelus Bridal for the elegant accessories to wear along with it, personalizing it in your own way.

Wear Her Bridal Accessories
On the other hand, you may prefer to find your very own brand new wedding dress. In that case, you can still wear some of the bridal accessories that your mother wore when she got married, like her jewelry, veil, or headpiece. Bring those heirloom items along with you to your shopping appointment and our talented bridal consultants can help you find a wedding dress that they complement beautifully.  

Carry a Piece of Her Gown
Another option, if your mother doesn't mind, is to take a swatch from the original wedding dress and have it made into something that you can carry with you down the aisle. For example, some fabric from Mom's bridal gown could make a wonderful handkerchief to carry with your bouquet. This is also an excellent idea that allows a groom to carry a piece of his own mother's wedding dress down the aisle too. 

There may be a particular detail or embellishment on the gown that your mother wore that you love. A talented seamstress may be able to incorporate that in some way onto the wedding dress you fell in love with at our South Florida bridal salon. 

Copy Her Hairstyle 
Instead of a piece of clothing, you can have your hair styled in a similar way to your mother's bridal hairstyle. That is a terrific way to show her some love during the ceremony. If you want to bring some of your own style in later, you can show up with a new hairdo for the reception that's all your own.  

Duplicate Her Bridal Bouquet
Your wedding day flowers are a piece of your overall look. If you take a good photograph to your florist of the bouquet that your mother carried down the aisle, they can very likely recreate that same floral masterpiece. 

When you come into our bridal boutique in South Florida, let us know if you are wanting to incorporate your mother's wedding day look into your own. The wonderful staff at Angelus Bridal & Formals can help you do that in an exquisite way that honors your mom and still shows off plenty of your own personal style.

3 Places You Can Donate Your Bridal Gown After The Wedding

Last week we gave you a few ideas for what to do with your wedding dress after the wedding, and one of those suggestions was to donate it. If you don't plan on wearing it again or passing it down to your children, donating your bridal gown to a charity or organization is a wonderful way to make another bride very happy. 

Angelus Bridal & Formals did a little research and found a few different places that can help you do that. If you are interested in reaching out to any of them, click the link in their paragraph title to learn more.  

Brides Against Breast Cancer

BABC is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and originated out of a charity that was founded in 1997. Since then, they not only have connected brides with affordable pre-owned gowns but also donated millions of dollars to cancer-related charities. The organization is classified as a social enterprise charity (SEC.) While most SECs donate about 10% of their profits and free promotional support to their core cause, BABC chooses to give 50% to their charity!

BABC supports breast cancer causes nationwide with its partnership with Living Beyond Breast Cancer. They also partner with the Georgia Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, supporting cancer health legislative reimbursement efforts. You can find the requirements for donating a wedding dress on their website.  

Brides Across America

BAA is a non-profit committed to loving one another by gifting weddings and wedding gowns to our military and first responders. Their mission is to inspire and express gratitude and appreciation for the service men and women serving in the armed forces. Deployments, financial hardships, and other challenges that are unique to military families can make planning a dream wedding difficult.

Since 2008, they have gifted over 20,000 wedding dresses and over 20 free weddings! "Operation Wedding Gown" events are held 2 times a year, generally near Independence Day and Veteran's Day, to offer free dresses to qualifying military brides. In addition to bridal gowns, they also take donations of special occasion gowns, veils, wedding favors, jewelry, and other items that would be useful for planning a wedding. 

Angel Gowns Florida

This ministry was created to make very special gowns for newborns who pass away in the hospital. It may seem like a small comfort, but it means a great deal to the parents to have this special piece of clothing for family visitation and photographs to remember their child by. 

The baby gowns are created from donated wedding dresses. These are not for sale but instead given as a gift to the grieving families. If you choose to donate, you will receive a photo of the child's gown that is made from your donation. You can find details about donating by reading their story on their Facebook page. 

As we discussed in last week's blog, there are many things that you can do with your beautiful gown from our wedding dress store in Pompano Beach after the wedding. If you choose to donate yours so that someone else can benefit from the gown that brought you so much joy, the organizations on this page are a great place to start.

6 Simple New Year's Resolutions For Anyone Planning A Wedding

A lot goes into planning a wedding, and many couples let it overwhelm them. This should be a fun and exciting time full of memories, not stress. For everyone out there planning a wedding right now, Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few ideas for New Year's Resolutions you can add to your list that may make the wedding planning process a little easier. 

Work as a Team
A husband and wife are an incredible team, and that teamwork doesn't have to wait until after you say "I do" to begin. Make a promise to each other that you will tackle all of those wedding planning tasks together. They will get done twice as quickly, plus there is a better chance both of your styles will be represented in the final look and feel of the event. 

The people in your wedding party and family members that you can rely on are wonderful additions to your team too. There are lots of things that need to get done before the big day, and the more hands helping, the less you have to worry about. If they're willing to help, let them. 

Trust Your Vendors
Another important part of your wedding planning team are the vendors that you hire. Even though you may not have known them before you started planning the wedding, these people are professionals and know what they are doing. If you didn't like their work or had a strange feeling about them, you probably would have hired someone else. Let yourself trust your vendors' suggestions. You don't have to allow them to change your mind about things that are important to you, but they will have some great ideas that are worth considering. 

Have an Organization Plan
The more organized you are, the easier it will be to get everything done. Keep every bit of your wedding information and ideas all in one place. Have a binder put together with important contact information, brochures, magazine photos you like, and other paper items, and keep that binder in a place that you and your fiance always have access to it. Also keeping all of that information in a shared file on your computer or in a wedding app makes it easy for you to add to and access the information you need no matter where you are, plus there is no chance of misplacing an app.  

Don't Procrastinate
Strive to tackle a set amount of tasks each day. When you have free time, check that binder to see if there are any quick items on your to-do list that can be accomplished. Multi-task when possible, like stuffing and addressing invitations while you watch TV. 

One big item on your to-do list is making the guest list. You may dread having to pick and choose who will be invited to your wedding, but know that once that list is complete, you will know the size of the wedding you are planning for and be able to make a lot of other decisions. Every time you mark an item off of your list, it's going to make another item on that list easier to accomplish.   

Stick to Your Budget 
Promise yourself to stick as closely as possible to the wedding budget you decided on. Nothing can ruin the memory of a wonderful wedding faster than a stack of bills waiting after the celebration that will take you much longer to pay off than you planned for. 

Creativity, imagination, and talented wedding vendors can create an exquisite wedding at an affordable price. After all, the goal of the day is to marry the person you love, and years from now the size of your centerpieces probably won't matter to you at all. Pick the parts of the wedding that you care most about and spend your budgeted money there, and when it comes to the things that don't really matter to you, don't spend what you don't have to. 

Enjoy the Process
The very best thing that you can do for yourself is to remember to have fun and enjoy every moment of this time in your life. When you start to feel overwhelmed, remember the big picture. At the end of this entire process, you get to spend the rest of your life with the person you love most! 

If you find yourself stressing out, take a break. Even better, take a break with your fiance to remind each other why you are doing this in the first place. Don't sweat the small stuff either. If the napkins are only available in ivory instead of white, it's not going to ruin your day. Small things like what your guests will be wiping their mouths on really won't even be noticed by most people. Laugh it off and smile because, hey, you're getting married! Nothing should be able to ruin the joy of that.  

Having a few moments of stress here and there are probably unavoidable, but make a promise to yourself that when that happens you will take a step back, take a deep breath, remember the reason for it all, smile, and move on. When you are ready to plan the fashion portion of your special day, our South Florida bridal boutique is here to make that part of the process as fun and easy as possible. 

Our talented consultants will be with you every step of the way during your shopping appointment, and their knowledge and expertise will help guide you to the wedding dress that was made just for you. Angelus Bridal & Formals is here to make sure that this portion of the planning process is one that you will enjoy while it is happening and look back on with fond memories.

3 Things To Look For In A Bridesmaid Dress

Your beautiful bridal gown is the most important fashion item you will need to pick out for your wedding day, but once you've made that decision, it's time to start thinking about your bridal party. We offer some of the most exquisite bridesmaid dresses in South Florida. There are lots and lots of gorgeous gowns to choose from in our shop, so today Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few things to keep in mind when you begin the search. 

Style
While you don't want your bridesmaids wearing the exact same style you'll be walking down the aisle in, it does look nice to find something similar for them to wear. Your wedding party will look their best as a whole when the fashions compliment each other. 

Decide if you prefer the ladies to wear the exact same dress or different styles that tie into each other somehow. Bridesmaids not matching exactly is a very popular look, and it's a wonderful way to make sure that everyone finds a style that is most flattering on their particular body type. The key is to have at least one element of the dress that brings them all together into one cohesive look, such as picking gowns that are different complimentary colors but all the same length, or possibly all dresses that are strapless. 

Comfort
Comfort is a very important factor to look for in a bridesmaid dress. Your lovely ladies will be wearing this particular gown for a very long time on your wedding day, and if their dress is uncomfortable, it will be difficult to look their best in all of those wedding photos. They will need to be able to move around easily in them too, to help you with tasks throughout the day and dance the night away at the reception. 

Price
The sky may be the limit when it comes to your wedding dress, but this is your special day, so spending a little more than you normally would on a gown is most likely in your budget. Your bridesmaids, on the other hand, may not all have the funds to spend a lot on their dresses. It would be terrible if one of your friends had to say no to being a bridesmaid because it cost too much. 

Be mindful of what you are asking everyone to spend, remembering that they also have to buy the accessories to go with it, plus wedding and shower gifts too. They can still look amazing without spending a fortune! We have many affordable bridesmaid dresses at our Pompano Beach bridal boutique in a variety of styles and colors. 

After you let Angelus Bridal & Formals help you find the wedding dress of your dreams, make an appointment to bring in all of your bridesmaids to try on gorgeous gowns to wear next to you on the wedding day. Our goal is to make sure that everyone looks their beautiful best. While your group is here, every one of them will have the consultant's undivided attention during the appointment, and they will use their knowledge and talent to help you find something absolutely perfect for everyone.
