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.

Tips to Gracefully Handle Rain on Your Wedding Day

According to the old saying, "April showers bring May flowers," a spring bride shouldn't be too surprised if it happens to rain on her wedding day. No one wants that to happen, but in reality, that is always a possibility any time of the year. 

If you are prepared for it ahead of time, rain does not have to put a damper on your big day. Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few tips to help you make it through a rainy wedding day like a pro! 

Remain Calm
First and foremost, if a few drops of rain, or even a downpour, fall on your wedding day, don't let it cause you any stress. Nature happens. If it makes you feel better, rain is actually supposed to bring good luck to your special day. It symbolizes fertility for a fruitful marriage and cleansing, washing away your old single life so you can enter your new married life. Getting upset isn't going to make the rain stop, but the plans you've made ahead of time will get you through the situation beautifully. 

Stay Dry
Before the ceremony, take precautions to keep everyone's wedding fashions dry. Keep everything zipped up tightly in garment bags until you arrive at your destination to get ready. Ladies, you will want to take extra care to keep long gowns up off of the ground. Fellas, if you are not getting dressed at the ceremony venue, you may want to do a quick change in the bathroom at the wedding site to make sure you don't end up with any splash spots on your suit from outside puddles. 

If you need to go outside for photos after the rain has stopped, lay down a tarp or something similar to walk on. Your photographer should be creative enough to keep it out of the pictures. 

Have a Plan
Backup plans are made in the hopes that they never need to be used, but they are wonderful things to have "just in case." Should you need it, you'll be thrilled that you took the time to come up with it. This will allow you to keep the celebration going, rain or shine. 

For outdoor weddings, always have an indoor spot reserved in case of inclement weather, or possibly rent a tent to keep the party outside. Today you can rent tents that have elegant walls with windows, and they are more like a sheltered oasis than simply something to cover your head. Even if the rain stays away, a tent can still be a nice touch in case anyone wants to get out of the sun. 

Umbrella Shop
Find some adorable umbrellas that match your wedding colors or theme, and make sure that you have enough for everyone in your wedding party. If the weather forecast says that there is a very strong chance of rain on your wedding day, you may even want to have enough umbrellas for your guests to use too. They will make great favors and can be returned if you don't need to use them as long as the tags have not been removed. 

Have Fun With It! 
Remember that old saying, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain!" Take this unfortunate event and roll with it. Instead of getting mad and ruining this otherwise beautiful day, choose to make a few special memories that wouldn't be possible without the rain. 

If you don't mind getting wet after the ceremony, get out in it and have your photographer capture some amazing photos that not all couples get the chance to take. Those matching umbrellas will really come in handy for that!

Do remember to take special precautions to protect your wedding dress if you decide to get out in the rain. Find out what will happen if the material gets wet, and keep any areas that may be ruined out of the water.    

Don't let anything ruin your special day, especially a little bit of water. A little bit of pre-planning and a positive attitude will assure that you can handle anything that comes your way on the wedding day. Our South Florida bridal salon knows that the most important thing about any wedding day is the fact that you are a "Mr. & Mrs." at the end of it. As long as that happens, the entire event was a success!

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.

5 Factors That Influence Your Wedding Dress Choice

There is an enormous variety of beautiful bridal gowns to pick from when you shop at our South Florida wedding dress store. At times the choices can seem overwhelming. To narrow down the decision, Angelus Bridal has listed 5 factors that will influence your wedding fashion choice in today's blog. Take these into consideration when you begin your dream dress search. 

What catches your eye? 
Flipping through bridal magazines or looking through Pinterest boards is a wonderful way to discover what your wedding day fashion style is. Don't overthink it, just browse. Take notice of the dresses that make you stop for more than a couple of seconds. Once you compare a few of those, it's very likely that you will notice similar elements of each. This will give you a great idea of where to start when you begin trying gowns on.  

Comfort
Everyone wants to look gorgeous on their wedding day, but if you pick a dress that looks great but isn't comfortable to wear all day long, you're very likely to regret it. That discomfort is sure to show on your face in many of the wedding photographs. After you find a bridal gown that may be "the one," make sure that you move around in it, sit in it, and possibly even dance a little while you're wearing it. As the Audrey Hepburn quote states, "...happy girls are the prettiest girls." If you feel good in what you are wearing, you will look your best. 

Time of Year and Venue
Part of that comfort factor needs to involve the weather expected for the time of year you will be getting married, and possibly the place that you will say your "I do's." Ball gowns are often difficult to maneuver on the sand at a beach wedding, and a thin, strapless bridal gown may not be very comfortable to wear when the temperatures are cold. Knowing when and where the wedding will happen can help you to choose the best wedding dress.    

Personal Style
Don't sacrifice your own personal style to match an "idea" of the perfect bride that someone may have put into your head. If you like to wear plenty of sparkle and bling, then you'll want to shop for a bridal gown with lots of that rather than a simple dress without a lot of added details. On the other hand, if you love showing off big pieces of jewelry, you may want to pick out a simpler gown to wear with that jewelry. For brides that think some shade of white or ivory isn't their thing, look for a wedding dress with some color. The key is to stay true to your own personal style and let Angelus Bridal help you find the perfect bridal gown to match it!   

Body Shape
While you should come in to your shopping appointment with an idea of what you like, keep yourself open to suggestions. Our talented consultants have lots of experience in finding fashions to bring out a particular bride's best features. A dress you loved in a picture may not look the same to you once you try it on, and there's a good chance something that doesn't exactly impress you on the hanger may look amazing on you. Trust us and you just may find your dream wedding dress in a section you never would have thought to look. 

All of the suggestions listed above will help you narrow down the multitude of choices available to you at our bridal salon in Pompano Beach. The wedding dresses you will find at Angelus Bridal & Formals are exquisite, but they need you in them to make them special!

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!

What To Expect At Your Angelus Bridal Shopping Appointment

For most brides, shopping for a bridal gown is a once in a lifetime occasion. This is one of the many reasons that our wedding dress store in South Florida strives to make the entire experience one that will live happily in your memories for many years to come. There are lots of average bridal stores out there, but Angelus Bridal & Formals goes that extra mile to make sure that you have every chance to find the wedding dress of your dreams. Here are a few things to expect when you come into our store for your shopping appointment.  

Undivided Attention
We ask you to make an appointment to shop here for the best wedding dresses in South Florida rather than just stop by so that we can guarantee you will be the sole focus of your consultant's attention the entire visit. She won't be running off to help another customer, but will stay with you as your personal shopping assistant while you search for your dream dress. 

VIP Treatment
We will schedule plenty of time for you to tell us all about yourself and your bridal gown dreams, then bring choices to you that match not only your wants and desires, but also your body and skin type so that you can find the gown that looks as if were made especially for you. Sometimes the dresses you love in photos don't look as good once you put them on, and often a gown you don't expect to like surprises you and looks amazing once you slip into it. Our experienced and knowledgeable consultants will guide you gracefully through the sea of dresses, landing on choices perfect for you.   

Beautiful, Affordable Dresses
We carry a wide variety of every style of wedding dress you can imagine, including beautiful mix-and-match separates that allow you to build a look unlike anyone else's. You will easily be able to find a gorgeous bridal gown at a price that fits into your budget. We even feature a clearance section with over 300 wedding dresses that are marked at 50% off the regular price.  

Wedding Extras
Angelus Bridal is a one-stop-wedding shop! Once you've successfully found your dream dress, we can help you personalize your look with exquisite jewelry, veils, headpieces, and bridal belts. By the time you're finished, a beautiful bride will be staring back at you from the mirror!  

We also have other talented wedding vendors on-site that can talk to you about your other wedding planning needs. You will find an alteration specialist, photographer, cake designer, makeup artist, florist, and even tuxedos for the men in the wedding.  

Love At 1st Sight
Last but least, we have some incredible specials in store for you if you fall in love with your wedding dress and purchase it on your very first visit to your store. (It happens all the time!) When this happens, our Pompano Beach bridal salon will give you 20% off the purchase of your veil and headpiece. As an extra bonus, each of your bridesmaids will also be automatically eligible for $30 off of their bridesmaid gown purchase of $159.95 or more. If their dress costs less than that, they may still receive a 10% discount on their purchase. 

When you walk through the doors at Angelus Bridal, you are the most important person in the room during your entire shopping appointment! This is a very special occasion, and we will do everything in our power to make it everything that you've always dreamed about and put you in the wedding dress that is simply waiting here for you to come in and find it.

5 Beautiful Ways To Incorporate Your Mother's Wedding Day Look Into Yours

Luckily, when it comes to wedding fashion, the best wedding dresses in South Florida have a timeless look that fits into any era. Wearing your mother's bridal gown is a lovely gesture, but many bride's prefer to find a special dress that they can call their own. You can easily incorporate your mom's wedding day look into yours without having to wear her entire dress. Angelus Bridal has listed a few of these creative ideas for you below. 

Wear Mom's Wedding Accessories
You can wear the jewelry or bridal veil that your mother wore in her wedding with your brand new wedding dress from our South Florida bridal salon. To make sure that those accessories work beautifully with the gown you choose, bring them along to your shopping appointment. One of our talented consultants can help you find a dress in your style that has elements to complement Mom's accessories. 

Carry A Piece Of Her Gown With You
You could also take a swatch of your mother's wedding dress to carry in your bouquet or as a handkerchief to catch all those happy tears. This can be taken from an inconspicuous area so that it doesn't damage the overall look of her gown. If there is a particular detail or embellishment that you love about the dress, our seamstress may be able to incorporate it onto your bridal gown in some way. 

Duplicate Her Bridal Bouquet
The flowers that you carry down the aisle are also a piece of your overall wedding day look. A talented florist will be able to make a bridal bouquet for you that matches, or at least resembles, the one that your mother carried down the aisle for her own wedding. You could add a sentimental moment into the ceremony by giving her a flower from it as you walk down the aisle, before you join your future husband at the altar. 

Copy Her Hairstyle
Bring Mom's wedding day look to yours by wearing your hair the way she wore hers. If it's an up-do, there may be a way to wear it like that for the ceremony, then "let your hair down" for the party at the reception. 

Recreate A Photo From Her Wedding
A very special memento for both you and your parents is to recreate a photo from their wedding day with your new groom. These will look amazing displayed next to each other. Go the extra step and have your photographer take a similar photo of Mom & Dad in the same pose all these years later. 

If you're the type of bride that wants her very own, brand new, fabulous wedding dress, that's perfectly understandable. This is your special day, and you deserve to show off your own personal style. The above ideas are both a wonderful way to honor your mother, and also a great way to keep from hurting her feelings if she wants you to wear her gown, but you don't want to. 

When you come in to our wedding dress store in Pompano Beach, let us know that you want to incorporate your mother's wedding day look into your own somehow. The wonderful staff here at Angelus Bridal & Formals can help you find something that both pays homage to your mom's dream dress while giving you the gown of your own dreams.

Our Wedding Dress Customers' Experiences (In Their Own Words)

When you visit our Angelus Bridal & Formals website, the first thing that you see at the top of the page (once you are able to tear your eyes away from those gorgeous bridal gowns) is a banner with the phrase, "Our Best Publicity is Our Last Customer!" We pride ourselves on being South Florida's most trusted bridal salon. Keeping a close eye on the feedback that customers leave for us online helps us to remain at the top of our game. 

We enjoy providing excellent, personalized customer service to each of the lovely ladies that walk through our doors. These reviews let us know what we are doing right, and what we can make an effort to improve on. They are also excellent for letting future customers know what to expect when they shop with us. Take a look at what a few of our most recent brides had to say about their shopping appointments.
 

"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 to feel truly special. I will be returning for my dress soon!" 
~Ketlyne, Wedding Wire review


"It is safe to say that I am absolutely obsessed with my dress, and with Rhonda. She made my dress shopping experience comfortable, special, and memorable. Her honesty and expertise helped make my decision to "SAY YES TO THE DRESS" easy! Thank you for everything!" 
~Jessica V., The Knot review


"This beautiful place has gorgeous gowns! Rhonda and I hit it off right away. She listened to me and really made me feel special. It was top rated customer service. I absolutely love my dress and every dress I put on I felt beautiful. You can tell everyone there works so closely, it's like family. My family and I were so well respected and I couldn't ask for a better way to tell my story of how I found my dress. Thank you so much." 
~Tabitha Sclafani, Facebook review


"This store is amazing!!! Rhonda and her team were extremely helpful and took their time to help me as I tried on different dresses. This was the third bridal shop I visited and I was extremely impressed with the level of service and with the beauty of these dresses." 
~Harley, Wedding Wire review

"I had a great experience at Angelus. They worked with my schedule. Every appointment was ALL about me! I love the size of the shop as well and it is also very organized and doesn't have an overwhelming amount of gowns. CAN'T wait to wear my dress soon!!!"
~Iris, WeddingWire review


"My mom and I loved our experience at Angelus bridal. The selection was broad and all of the staff there were kind, honest, helpful, and communicative. They made sure my dress and veil came in on time, and they have a great and inexpensive alterations store right next door. Highly recommended!"
~Kristen R., The Knot review


"The sweetest most helpful people to get you to the happiest day of your life. Thank you so much ladies!!"

How To Prepare For Your Wedding Dress Shopping Appointment

Booking an appointment to shop for wedding dresses at our South Florida bridal salon is the first step in finding your dream bridal gown. Once that appointment is made with Angelus Bridal & Formals, there are a few things that you can do in preparation for it that will help the entire process to go smoothly and successfully.

Know what you like.
The more that you can tell our consultants about your favorite types of dresses, the quicker they will be able to zero in on the perfect gown for you. Flip through wedding magazines and browse online to see what's out there, and make notes about the dresses that catch your eye most often. You can even bring in pictures of your favorites to the appointment. Other details that will factor into the types of gowns that we show to you are the time of year, time of day, and formality of the wedding.

That being said, keep an open mind when it comes to trying on new styles too. It's impossible to know how you will look in a dress until you are wearing it. Something that you loved in a photo may not be the right fit for your body, and on the other hand, a dress you aren't that impressed with on the hanger may look amazing once you step into it. 

Gather your entourage.
You will want to be selective when choosing the people to bring along with you to your bridal gown shopping appointment. Many may be excited to join you, but too many differing opinions can make the 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 the positive experience that it should be. This is a very special part of your wedding planning, so no bad attitudes allowed! 

Don't go on an empty stomach.
We don't suggest that you eat a great big meal right before your appointment, but don't go on an empty stomach either. You'll want to have plenty of energy in case it's a lengthy search. Eat something light before you come in, or at least keep a snack handy in your purse, just in case. 

Manage time wisely.
There are lots and lots of gorgeous wedding dresses to try on in our bridal boutique in South Florida. Show up for your scheduled appointment on time so that you can spend every single moment of it narrowing down the choices. You don't want to show up late and miss out on precious time we have set aside especially for you. 

Ask questions. 
Unless you are in the wedding business, shopping for a wedding dress is not something you do often. The consultants at Angelus Bridal, on the other hand, deal with wedding fashion on a daily basis. They are experts in this field and have dealt with all types 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.   

Once you arrive at our bridal gown store in South Florida, you will have our undivided attention. You are very special to us, and we realize how valuable your time here is. The tips above will prepare you for a successful shopping experience at Angelus Bridal & Formals. Next week we will add to this advice by writing about the items you should bring with you to your appointment.
