On gowns… top three:

The fabulous, elegant ball gown is making a comeback for this next bridal season.

On the other side, we are still seeing the body-hugging silhouette, great for a girl with a fab figure.

Fifties-style glamour is back in with its full-out Hollywood style and glamour. Big bows, belted waistlines and the absolutely stunning couture you see in “Mad Men”.

Now this is a super idea for every bride…the Bridal Mini! Use them when you do hair trials and make up trails.  This prevents any accidents from happening to your dream gown and gives you a better idea of how you will look on the big day. An elegant mix of fun and function.It’s also a lot of fun to wear at your bachelorette party or your bridal shower.  Your friends can sign it and you have a wonderful keepsake from that night!

Because the Bridal Mini is designed with a corset back, it allows for weight gain or loss, and you don’t have to worry about messing up your hair when you take it off.

Check out www.bridalmini.com and order yours today!
