Which Wedding Dress Silhouette is Right for You?

With so many wedding dresses in South Florida for you to choose from, it can be difficult to describe the dream dress you are imagining.  For those without a particular dress in mind, it can be daunting to look at all of the options and try to decide which will be the perfect fit for you.  Knowing a little bit about the shapes and silhouettes of wedding dresses can make your shopping experience easier.  Also, the friendly bridal experts at our bridal salon in Pompano Beach are always ready to help you find the perfect dress.  Here are a few of the silhouettes you will find.

A-Line

A-Line dresses feature a fitted bodice down to the waist, gradually flowing out all the way to the ground, forming a shape resembling the letter A.  This silhouette is flattering on almost every bride.  A-line dresses can have a more subtle or more angular shape, depending on your preference.  The A-line is classic style made popular by Jackie Kennedy, and it is still tasteful and fashionable today.

Ballgown
A ballgown silhouette is for brides who want to feel just like a princess.  With a fitted bodice that flairs at the waist and a full skirt, you'll look like you are straight out of a fairy tale.  This dramatic shape is flattering on most women and gives the illusion of curves to boyish or thin brides.  You are sure to be a showstopper in a ballgown dress. 

Trumpet
Fitted down to the mid-thigh, then flaring out, this shape will show off your beautiful curves.  Trumpet shapes can be more subtle or can have a more dramatic flare depending on your taste.  This stylish silhouette is for bolder brides, but it allows for a lot of variation in the detail and neckline.  With so many styles of the trumpet silhouette to choose from, it is easy to find a look that is both elegant and modern.

Mermaid
Similar to a trumpet silhouette but even sexier is the mermaid.  This silhouette is also slim and hugs your curves, but tapers out below the knee.  This form-fitting, contoured dress is for confident brides who want to show off their shape.  A mermaid dress looks stunning in satin and typically does not need much detail because of its statement silhouette.  You are sure to be the center of attention in a mermaid gown, just be sure to practice walking in this slim dress so you can confidently strut down the aisle.

Sheath
Sheath dresses are slim along your frame.  They can either fall straight down from neckline to hem, or they can be more form fitting or playful.  Sheath dresses are simple and sophisticated, but you can easily add plenty of detail or choose a more seductive neckline to make it the perfect dress for you.  This silhouette has elongated lines making it a flattering shape for petite brides, and it can accentuate curves on athletic frames.  Sheath gowns are elegant and tasteful, and with the right detail, they are anything but plain.

Does one of these silhouettes perfectly describe the dress you are envisioning?  Or are you still completely overwhelmed with the options and need help deciding what looks best on you?  Either way, the best way to find your dream wedding gown is to try on several different options.  Angelus Bridal is the best bridal shop in South Florida because we have talented bridal consultants that are here to help you find the dress that was made for you.  

Our wedding gown store in Pompano Beach has every style you are looking for from simple sheaths to brilliant ballgowns and everything in between.  Make an appointment today to discover the gown you have been dreaming of.

Helpful Tips For Finding Wedding Shoes You Can Wear All Day Long

Once you've had the chance to browse through our enormous selection of beautiful wedding dresses in South Florida and found the perfect gown for your special day, it's time to accessorize! The talented consultants at Angelus Bridal & Formals can help you find gorgeous bridal belts, jewelry, headpieces, veils, and more. Today's blog will assist you in finding the amazing shoes you will wear on your wedding day. 

Accessory or Fashion Statement?
If you will be wearing a long bridal gown that will cover your shoes, it really isn't necessary to get too elaborate with the style that you choose. If, on the other hand, you picked out a shorter style for your wedding dress, you will want to wear a pair of shoes that compliment the gown in a beautiful way. 

Also, if you just happen to be a shoe fanatic and are looking forward to picking out a fabulous pair to wear whether they show or not, then go ahead and get fancy! Decide how important the shoe style is to you and how much you plan to budget for them, them use those decisions to help you pick a pair.   

Comfort Over Style
You will be wearing these shoes for a very long time on the wedding day, and most likely you will be standing most of that time. Comfort should be a big deciding point when you begin shoe shopping. 

If you aren't used to wearing high heels on a daily basis, this may not be the day to start. With a little searching, you will be able to find footwear that won't cause you pain yet still looks beautiful. Of course, if you are used to wearing heels every day, that may be what is comfortable for you.  

Style Over Comfort
There is always the chance that you will fall madly in love with a pair of shoes that isn't necessarily the easiest to wear for long periods of time. You can make that work too. 

If they are too gorgeous to pass up yet too uncomfortable to wear for the entire wedding, find a second pair that you can change into when needed. Also, don't keep the stylish shoes on any more than you have to if they hurt your feet. Wait until right before you walk down the aisle to slip them on, and when you are out of the sight of guests, kick them off to give your feet a short break. 

Plan For a Backup Pair
The best way to have a successful wedding is to plan ahead for every possibility. It's wise to have an inexpensive pair of shoes for backup just in case something happens to the pair you planned to wear. More than likely you won't need them, so there's no reason to spend a lot unless you know you can wear them for other occasions. If you do end up needing this spare pair for any reason, a lot of stress will be avoided because you thought to plan ahead. 

Buy Shoes Early
Don't spend too long deciding on the perfect pair of shoes. You will need to have them with you at your first bridal gown fitting. The shoes you wear will affect the hem of your dress, and the seamstress can do her best work when there is no question of where the hem needs to fall. 

Also, buying your shoes early will give you a chance to break them in so they are more comfortable for the wedding. Occasionally spend a few minutes walking around the house in them. The more practice you get, the more graceful you will look walking down the aisle! 

Although it's not the norm, some brides do come into our South Florida bridal boutique with their shoes already picked out even before they begin dress shopping. If you happen to find the shoes before the dress, bring them along to your shopping appointment. They can be a wonderful tool for our consultants at Angelus Bridal to help you find a wedding dress that was made to go with those incredible shoes.

Items You Should Bring To Your Wedding Dress Shopping Appointment

Last week's blog was all about how you can prepare for a successful wedding dress shopping appointment, and today we have a list of items that you should bring to Angelus Bridal when you begin the search for your dream wedding dress. Our South Florida bridal boutique already has the experience and knowledge to help you pick out the perfect gown, as well as the affordable and fashionable wedding dresses to choose from. You can bring the following things along with you. 

Examples of What You Like
You've undoubtedly been eyeing tons of gorgeous bridal gowns online and in magazines ever since you became engaged (and possibly even before that!) Bring photos of some of your favorite designs when you come into Angelus Bridal & Formals for your shopping appointment. This will give our consultants an idea of what styles you are most fond of, helping them to find the dresses you most want to try on. 

If you have swatches of your wedding colors or even some of your wedding decorating plans, go ahead and bring those with you too. Your entire wedding vision just may give us the perfect idea of a gown that matches it beautifully. 

Special Wedding Day Items
Most of the time brides pick out the wedding dress first and then choose the accessories to go along with it. Sometimes, however, women already have a few specialty items that they want to wear on their wedding day, like an heirloom veil or piece of jewelry that has been passed down in the family, for example. Bring anything like this along with you to your shopping appointment so that you can find a bridal gown that looks as if it were made especially to wear with your special item.   

Proper Undergarments
Nude-colored undergarments work best for trying on wedding dresses. This will avoid any brightly colored undergarments from showing through a gown and distracting you from the look and how you feel about it. Also, remember that a consultant will probably be in the dressing room with you since many gowns are not easy to get into alone, so wear underwear that you are comfortable wearing in front of them. 

A strapless bra that offers good support is the ideal kind to wear to try on wedding dresses. Even if it's not the bra you will be wearing on the wedding day, it will give you a better idea of how the dress will fit. We carry the amazing Flattering Me Bra, designed by our very own Coco Abadi, owner of Angelus Bridal & Formals, in our bridal salon. It offers real support, natural cleavage, and amazing comfort under any special occasion dress, and it may be exactly what you need for the gown that you choose. 

The Flattering Me Bra, available in white, nude, ivory, and black.

An Open Mind
Even if you come in with your mind set on one particular wedding dress you fell in love with in a magazine, don't be afraid to try on something completely different to compare it to. Bridal gowns don't look the exactly the same on different body types. 

Even though you loved a specific dress in a photo, it may not be flattering on your body shape, and a dress that doesn't impress you on the hanger may look like it was made especially for you once you step into it. Our consultants have a lot of experience matching the perfect gown to our beautiful brides. She may have a suggestion that is worth trying out. 

Supportive Friends
Everyone has an opinion, but when it comes to your wedding dress, your opinion is the most important one. Choose the people that come with you to your shopping appointment at our Pompano Beach wedding dress store wisely. A small group of supportive friends that know your style well and have your best interests at heart can be very helpful. Avoid bringing anyone that loves to cause drama and never has anything nice to say. 

Happiness and Excitement!
This should be one of the most fun tasks on your wedding planning to-do list. Get excited about it and have fun trying on all of those fabulous dresses! We will help to bring that happiness and excitement to your wedding dress shopping appointment by treating you like the VIB (Very Important Bride!) that you are!

You will have our undivided attention during your scheduled shopping time, and we will do everything in our power to create a memorable experience and a successful bridal gown search. This is a very special moment of your wedding planning, and you deserve to enjoy every minute of it!   

Now that you know what you need for a successful wedding dress shopping appointment, gather those items and give Angelus Bridal & Formals a call at 954-943-7768 to schedule a time to come in and find your dream wedding dress. There are lots of gorgeous and affordable bridal gowns to choose from, and we will help you locate the perfect one for your very special day.

Tips For A Successful Wedding Dress Shopping Appointment

When you make an appointment at our South Florida bridal boutique to find your dream wedding dress, that time will be set aside especially for you so that you receive the undivided attention and VIP treatment that you deserve. There are lots and lots of gorgeous gowns to choose from in a multitude of styles, so a little preparation before your appointment can help to make the entire search process go faster and a lot easier. Angelus Bridal & Formals has gathered a few tips for you in today's blog to help you be prepared. 

Know Your Style
We don't expect you to have a bridal gown already picked out before you come in. On the contrary, wedding dresses can look very different on different people, so something you fell in love with in a magazine may not be the right dress for your particular body type. 

What you can do is flip through bridal magazines or collect photos of dresses you find online that catch your eye. After you have a few collected, you will begin to notice elements that they all have in common. This information will help the consultants at Angelus Bridal narrow down the types of wedding dresses that best fit your personal style. 

Gather Your Entourage
You will want to be selective when choosing the people to bring along with you to your wedding dress shopping appointment. There may be a lot of family and friends that would love to come along, but too many differing opinions can make the final decision a lot more difficult for you. Invite people that know your personal style well, have your best interests at heart, and will help to make the trip a positive experience. This is a very special part of your wedding planning, so no bad attitudes allowed!  

Eat Before You Shop
Do not attempt the dress search on an empty stomach. We don't suggest that you eat a great big meal right before you come in to try on wedding dresses, but you should at least have a light snack that will give you the energy to try on all of those gorgeous gowns. 

Sometimes a bride falls in love with a wedding dress right away, but most of the time it's a lengthy search involving trying on lots and lots of different dresses to discover "the one." If you don't have time to grab something to eat beforehand, at least have a snack handy in your purse, just in case. 

Manage Time Wisely
You'll find a multitude of exquisite wedding fashions to try on in our Pompano Beach bridal salon. Show up for your scheduled appointment on time so that you can spend every single moment of it narrowing down your choices. You don't want to show up late and miss out on precious time we have set aside especially for you.  

Ask Lots of Questions
Unless you happen to be in the wedding planning business, shopping for a bridal gown is not something you do often. It is very likely that you will only be doing this once, so there's not a lot of time for a learning curve. 

The knowledgeable consultants at Angelus Bridal & Formals, however, deal with wedding fashion on a daily basis. They are experts in this field and have dealt with all kinds of different situations. There is a very good chance that they will know the answer to any questions you may have, and if not, they'll be more than happy to find out for you. Use their experience to find the dress that was made especially for you. 

We see each and every single woman that comes into our wedding dress store in South Florida as the very special individual that she is. Your time here is very valuable and the search for the perfect bridal gown is an important task that we do not take lightly. The tips above will help you prepare for a successful shopping experience at Angelus Bridal & Formals, and next week's blog will assist you even more by listing the important items you should bring to your shopping appointment.

7 Tips for Handling Bridal Shows Like a Pro (Part 2)

Last week our first 3 of 7 Tips for Handling Bridal Shows Like a Pro offered advice for getting signed up and enlisting helpers to join you. Today, the final 4 tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals cover things you need to do the day of the bridal show. 

Power Up
Make sure that you eat something before you get to the bridal show. You will need energy for a day full of browsing. There will most likely be food samples, but probably not enough to fill you up. There will definitely be cake samples (lots of cake samples!) but too many of those on a fairly empty stomach will give you a horrible sugar rush. You might also want to bring along a water bottle so that you can stay hydrated throughout the event too.  

Wear Comfortable Shoes
A huge amount of walking is involved, especially with the really large bridal shows. Often there isn't a lot of seating, so even when you're not walking you may be standing. Wearing comfortable shoes is extremely important. You can still be adorable without having to add heels to your look for something like this. Also, have something on that tells everyone that you are the bride. A lot of shows will give you a "Bride" sticker to wear when you arrive. This lets vendors know who the VIP in your group is that they should be talking to. 

Take Notes
Bring something to take detailed notes on, and if the show allows it, take lots of pictures. You will be seeing and learning about a lot of new ideas, and you don't want to forget the best ones. An easy way to remember your favorite or most interesting wedding vendors is to take notes about them directly onto their brochures or the back of their business card. That way you are sure to not mix them up with someone else. 

Don't Forget to Bring...

• Cash and a Checkbook - The cash is to buy food and drinks because many snack areas don't take cards. The checkbook is for any small vendors you may want to book that do not take credit cards. Some offer discounts for booking on the spot, so if you're sure they are the vendor you want, book them before someone else gets your date. 
• Calendar - You will want to put any appointments you make with vendors in your calendar immediately. That way you don't forget to later or double-book yourself. 
• Wedding Information - If you have a wedding binder, bring it with you. If you are trying to match colors or fabrics, bring along the pictures or swatches you need too. 
• Sticker Labels - Having sticker labels with your information (name, groom's name, phone number, address, email, wedding date) will allow you to sign up for giveaways without having to write down all of that information over and over all day long.  
• Extra Bag - More than likely the show itself or a vendor will be handing out bags to collect the goodies you'll get at different booths. Just in case they don't, bring one with you. If you end up with two, use one bag for important business cards and brochures and the other for vendors you're not as interested in. You can decide what to keep and what to throw away when you get home later.  
• An Open Mind - You may go into the show with ideas about what you want for your wedding, but take a look at everything. You may see a great idea you never thought of. Also, just because a vendor has a bad website, they may be a perfect fit for you in person. 

Last but not least, remember to HAVE FUN! At a bridal show, you, the bride, are the star of the show for the day. Enjoy the attention, the freebies, a fun day out, and the great inspiration you will find all around you. Best of luck with your wedding planning from all of us at Angelus Bridal. When you're ready to tackle the fashion portion of your special day, remember to give us a call!

7 Tips for Handling Bridal Shows Like a Pro (Part 1)

Bridal shows can be a very helpful tool for getting a lot of wedding tasks taken care of all in one place. They can be tons of fun too if you go into it prepared. Angelus Bridal & Formals has 7 helpful tips that will allow you get the most out of any bridal show. We'll share the first 3 pre-show tips today, and finish next week with 4 more for show day.  

Pre-Register
Getting signed up early to attend a bridal show means that you will probably receive updates and reminders as the show gets closer. Some shows offer discounts, special gifts, or extra entries into prize drawings for anyone that pre-registers too. 

This also allows you to get inside much quicker on show day because you won't have to bother with registration once you get there. Sign up with a temporary email address that you have created especially for wedding correspondence. This way, once the wedding is over, you don't have a lot of vendors clogging up your regular email with unnecessary information you no longer need. 

Have a Plan
Do a little research on the vendors that will be attending the bridal show before it happens. It will give you a good idea of which wedding vendors you are most interested in so that you can visit their booths first. Know exactly which things you still need for your wedding and take care of those early. If there is time left over when you are done, visit some of the other booths that didn't make your list. They may surprise you.  

Have a list of questions prepared for each vendor so that you can get the answers you need right off the bat. There will most likely be a lot of people trying to talk to a vendor all at once, so your time with them may be very limited. If you decide that you want to know more about them, schedule an appointment to talk to them in greater detail at a later date. Check the bridal show's website to see if they have a map available so that you can plan a route, and time your visits so that you don't miss any interesting events the show has planned.

Don't Go Alone
You will be getting a lot of information all at once, so you will want to ask a few helpful people to go with you. Grooms are welcome and often encouraged to attend bridal shows of today. If he is into the wedding decision-making, it could be a fun and informative day to spend together. 

Bridesmaids are another option for your bridal show back up, and if you have parents that want to be involved, you might bring one or more of them too. Your "helpers" for the day can assist you by keeping track of brochures you pick up, signing you up for giveaways while you chat with vendors, and offering opinions when you need them. 

Those tips will help you prepare before going to the bridal show, and next week Angelus Bridal has a few more tips that will help you out greatly on the day of the bridal show. When you are ready for help finding your dream bridal gown, call our wedding dress store in South Florida and make an appointment. There won't be any fighting for attention from our consultants while you are here. You will have a talented team member's undivided attention and expert assistance in finding a bridal gown you will absolutely love!

Beyond the Wedding Dress - Your Bridal Fashion Checklist

There are a lot of different checklists involved in planning a wedding. "Order your wedding dress" will definitely be on one of them, but over the months before your wedding, you are going to need more fashion items than just the gorgeous gown you will find at our South Florida bridal boutique. We want to make sure that you have everything you need to look your beautiful best, so here is an extended fashion checklist, beyond the wedding dress, from Angelus Bridal & Formals.   

Lingerie
The items that you wear underneath your beautiful bridal gown are very important. They often make the dress fit better, exactly as it was meant to. 

• Bra
  The style of your wedding dress will dictate what type of bra that you need to wear with it. We offer an amazing bra that works wonderfully with nearly every gown, and it was designed by our very own Coco Abadi, owner of Angelus Bridal & Formals. The "Flattering Me Bra" offers real support, natural cleavage, and comfort, which are all very important aspects for your bridal bra to have. 
• Underwear
  Nude-colored underwear is the safest color to wear under your wedding dress to avoid it showing through the fabric. If there is no risk of that, pick out a really cute pair especially for that day. It could even be your "something blue." 
• Garter
  If you will be taking part in the tradition of the garter toss at your reception, your guests will be seeing it, so you'll want it to be extra gorgeous. If it's so pretty that you don't want your groom to throw it away, have a spare with you to use for the garter toss.   
• Other Undergarments
  For fitted gowns, you may want to purchase a body shaper to keep everything smooth and in place. On the other hand, if you have a ball gown, you may need to purchase an extra petticoat to bring it to the fullness you desire. Pick a slip that adds to the dress's beauty. 

The Flattering Me Bra

Accessories
A wonderful way to add your own personal touch to your wedding day look is with the accessories that you choose. You may want to add a few or all of the following. 

• Veil & Headpiece
  If you decide to wear a veil, the first step is to pick a length that looks good with your gown. Your headpiece will need to work well with the chosen veil, and if you plan to remove the veil for the reception, that headpiece should look amazing on its own too. 
• Hair Accessories
  For up-dos, think about if you will want to have special hair accessories that will show, or if you prefer more subtle things that will not compete with a headpiece you will be wearing. 
• Jewelry
  The easiest way to pick your jewelry is to use the details on your bridal gown for inspiration. It's usually best to not mix metals. If you have heirloom pieces already that you want to wear, take them to your wedding dress shopping appointment to make sure the two go well together. 
• Shoes
  The style is important, especially if your gown allows the shoes to be seen easily, but comfort is even more important. If you find shoes that are too amazing to resist but not easy to wear for long periods of time, have a spare pair to slip into later in the evening. 
• Handbag
  You probably won't be carrying a purse with you the entire day, but you will want to have a small handbag for essentials like your lipstick, cell phone, etc...

More Bridal Fashions
There are lots of events before the wedding day that you will want to have something special to wear. You may want some new outfits for a few things after the wedding too. 

• Pre-Wedding Parties
  These include engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and the rehearsal dinner. You don't have to have a brand new outfit for each, but if you work it into the budget, it's a great excuse to go shopping! 
• Honeymoon Clothing
  If you will be leaving for the honeymoon right away, plan to have these clothes packed and ready to go before the wedding. You'll be worn out after the big celebration and not want to rush to pack after. If you are waiting a few days before heading out, you might still want to have your shopping done early and to have it out of the way. 
• "Getaway" Outfit
  This is for the bride that wants to make a quick-change before hopping into the car to leave the reception. It's not done as often as it used to be, but if you like making wardrobe changes or will be heading straight to the airport from the wedding, this is for you. 

Don't let these additional fashion items add stress to your wedding planning. This is an area that you can really have some fun with. The consultants at our wedding dress store in Pompano Beach are happy to offer their expertise on this subject. It may sound like a lot to get together, but once you find your dream bridal gown, everything else will fall into place.

Popular Wedding Trends For 2018

Last week's blog took a look at some of the Wedding Dress Trends to Keep an Eye Out For in 2018. Today our wedding dress store in Pompano Beach decided to extend that theme by taking a look at a few of the ceremony and reception trends that brides will be leaning toward this year. 

Colors & Textures
Pantone, the leading expert on color, named the Color of the Year for 2018 to be Ultra Violet. They describe it as dramatic, provocative, and thoughtful, communicating originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking. We think it will be a beautiful and fun color for wedding decor, and it will make for some very lovely bridesmaid dresses. 

Metallics are often used to decorate for special occasions. Last year lots of rose gold was used, but in 2018 we expect to see more silvers, chromes, and coppers. Transparent items will be extremely popular too, such as glass tables, lucite signage, crystal accents, and even see-through papers for invitations. 

Multiple textures used in the same space is an interesting look that will be incorporated a lot. Just like your bridesmaid dresses don't have to match, neither do your reception tables. You can use 2 or 3 different types of looks with differently textured linens draped over each other. Just be sure to have some element on each table that ties them all together.     

Smaller, Fancier Weddings 
Couples seem to be throwing smaller, more intimate weddings for their closest family and friends. This is excellent for keeping a budget under control, and if money is no object, it allows you to spend more on each person because you aren't spreading the funds out among a few hundred guests.  

Brides and grooms are also looking to throw a more formal affair, but without a stuffy feeling. This involves getting dressed up and using more luxurious decor and traditional wedding customs, yet still creating a fun vibe and relaxed atmosphere. 

Hanging Florals
When it comes to the beautiful blooms you will use at your wedding, the newest trend is to suspend them from above everyone's heads! Probably not an easy feat to accomplish on your own, but a talented florist should be able to figure something out for you. Hanging pretty wreaths of greenery with gorgeous flowers of different colors is another trend that is back. They can be added to doorways, chair backs, ceremony aisles, backdrops, and more, and you can even incorporate printed wreaths onto your stationery.  

Trends are a lot of fun to keep an eye on each year, but at the end of the day, the best choice for your wedding is your favorite things, even if they aren't the "popular" thing that year. When you come into Angelus Bridal & Formals, we will never try to force you to fall in love with a gown. Instead, we will listen to your needs and desires to help you find that gorgeous wedding dress you've always dreamed of wearing. Our South Florida bridal salon has a variety of different exquisite styles in many sizes to accommodate every bride and her very special personal style. Come on in and have a look for yourself!

Gift Ideas For Your Husband, Wife, or Fiance

This time of year, even if you are in the midst of planning a wedding, you have to make some time to think about what to buy for everyone on your holiday shopping list. Sometimes the person that's the most difficult to figure out is the one you are closest to! Today, Angelus Bridal & Formals has come up with some thoughtful gift ideas that your significant other will love, no matter whether you are already married are planning to be soon. 

A Basket of Their Favorite Things
Instead of racking your brain for that one perfect gift that they don't already have, instead get them more of the things you already know that they love. It could be a book by their favorite author, a piece of clothing or jewelry from that store that they love, movie tickets, favorite foods or drinks, silly socks or slippers, etc... Anything that you know puts a smile on their face and they simply can't get enough of can be included.   

Acts of Kindness
Instead of buying something for them, do a few somethings instead. Tackle their least favorite chore before they get the chance. Make dinner and clean up after, or get up early and surprise them with breakfast in bed. Plan a night out where all they have to do is show up because you've taken care of every last detail. If you don't think coupon books are too cheesy, put a few of these things in there and let your special someone pick when they want to cash them in. Another wonderful way to surprise them is by hiding special love notes in a variety of places for them to find. 

Hire Some Help
Rather than taking on a task that your spouse or fiance hates, hire someone to do it for the both of you instead. Find someone to clean the entire house, detail the car, come to your home and cook a meal for the two of you, or if you already have kids, call a babysitter and take the night off. In many cases, this is a gift that you get to enjoy along with the recipient!

Relive a Memory
Plan a special evening, a whole day, or even an entire weekend reliving a memory that means a lot to the two of you. It could be a visit to the place where you first met, a reenactment of your first date, or if you're already married, a return to the spot where you said, "I do." 

Photographs
A brand new photo of you to carry with them or place on their desk is a gift that no one else will be giving them. You could also surprise them with a special photo from the wedding or engagement shoot that they haven't seen yet. Another wonderful photo gift is an album with pictures from your time together over the years. 

A Gift That Keeps Giving
There are lots of subscription services out there nowadays that let you sign someone up to receive packages at set intervals throughout the year. An online search for "gift subscriptions" will take you to a plethora of ideas. Some of the things they can bring right to your door are: cooking ingredients with recipes, books, movies, board games, craft supplies, wine, bourbon, clothing, makeup, grooming supplies, etc... Seriously, just about anything you could imagine! There are even some companies that will send scavenger hunt clues to your phone so you can explore your city together.  

A "Mixtape" 
The classic romantic gesture - a mixtape of all of your favorite songs or songs that express how you feel about your significant other! Today most people don't have a cassette tape handy to play an actual mixtape, but you can download a bunch of music and organize it into a playlist for your special someone. Maybe even make a few playlists for different situations: their workout time, commute to work, relaxation time, etc...

Hopefully that gets your creative juices flowing for a gift your husband, wife, or fiance will love. If you are in the fiance stage of your relationship, grooms can find some lovely fashion items for their future brides at our South Florida bridal store, such as jewelry for the wedding or a special occasion dress for a fancy night out on the town. Good luck shopping, and have a wonderful holiday season from all of us here at Angelus Bridal!
