Alas, we have entered the bridal season!
The time where love isn't the only thing that is in the air. The choice between a texture of fabric or certain palette shade gives you the feeling of excitement that almost matches the beat of the first step down the aisle. Many ladies are getting started early with the planning of the whole assortment - read on to learn just how the swoonful moments are taking place.
The Fitting Room, Before the Wedding
Working retail during bridal season, I've noticed the fitting room become it's own kind of sanctuary. Not chaotic. Not loud. Just true anticipation.
Recently, a few ladies came in to choose the perfect style of their roles in the grand event. The atmosphere was completely unmatched! From trying on different styles of dresses to bountiful laughs and hearty chats, it was a true experience with the chapter of preperation in mere joy with one another.
The assignment of the bride is the start of the story that launches the ladies into a full-on search for the perfect style! Theme is a silky necessity and adjustment of the straps seal the deal. As the mothers smooth their fabrics, the step towards the perfect dress becomes a symphony of flow.
The Modern Bride & Mother
As in the stories of wed, a bride and her mother are a pair that elegantly owns their side and style. While the bride is the center piece, mom is the adjoining factor that adds the vintage grace to modern traditions.
Today's bride is standing tall in her sleek and stylish silhoutte of fabrics. Striding down the aisle in a fabric that is fluid is key to allowing all elements of the moment to be free. Clean lines are accentuations of an opulent standard, subtle metallics are elevated finishing touches that go past the stunning wedding bands. Tailouring is the highest form of care for the special day.
The mother of the bride has one of the most important roles in the occasion! She is not shrinking into the background but rather stepping forward softly. The choice of the dress is pivotal for presentation in regards to her daughter as lady of the hour. She wants elegance, not excess - the touching exchange of the day is what takes the energy to nurturing poise in all paths.
From the fashions to the hustle and bustle that the season brings, the momentum of the day keeps the flow in stride!
The Poise Principle in Motion
Whether you are a bridesmaid or maid of honor, the styling choice for your garment is an self-made decision that satisfies our lovely bride and gives us an extra boost of confidence! In the piece, it allows you to show up as your best self for the display of your presence. It does not have to be loud, it is allowed to take up space without a full demand. A snug and stylish fit can be a great statement and give you the motivation to stay true to your style. That's a great aspect about discovering the meaning of Poise Principle for bridal season! -
The perfect dress, an elegant updo, unwavering confidence, standing tall when the zipper closes!
The Mirror Moment
A bride turns toward the mirror, there's a subtle pause-
Her shoulders settle, a quick scan of the dress, a smoothing of the fabric.
She nods. Not because it's trendy, not because it's loud. It feels like the right choice!
Before the aisle, the music, and the ceremony. There is a mirror.
And in it - a woman choosing how, when, and why she will show up.
What is (or would be) a memorable mirror moment for you?
As we continue to move through this season of love, it is so great to feel the excitement and comfort for the bridal preperations -
I am truly happy to continue to see the new memories for the ladies to create with their stunning garments!
