Spring Bridal Gowns January 6, 2012
Well…it may not feel like spring outside…but the spring 2012 collections from our designers are coming in daily!! The Spring collections in bridal are often the most anticipated arrivals for our summer/fall brides here in Missouri! Warmer weather brings wedding season!
While there are always new trends arising in fashion, there are a few things that are always considered gorgeous when looking for a bridal gown…lace and tulle and beading! New dresses for spring have a light, etherial feel to them. You can expect to see many styles with a heavy feminine feel.
For the vintage feel, you can always count on timeless lace and fancy beadwork to carry you through your throwback wedding festivities!
No matter what your wedding style…stop by and see us…we would love to help you find the perfect dress for your dream wedding!!!

Wedding Hairstyle…?????
If you are anything like me…you probably have no idea how to style your hair!!! This is one of the most important parts of the wedding planning process, because you want to look beautiful…and your pictures will last forever! For some reason, it proves to be one of the most difficult tasks of wedding planning.
For starters, you need to find a hairstyle that fits both your personal style and the style of your wedding gown. For this I suggest the wonderful and lovely…Lilith Moon! Check her out on youtube and on her website. She makes hairstyling look like tying your shoes…and we all know this is not how it actually works for non-hairstylists…but she is very creative. Once you find something you like, save it to every smart device you own and take it to your hairstylist.

Then, you need to decide who is going to be the lucky one to DO your wedding hair. You need to find someone you trust with this important duty. First…shop around. Call different salons and look at their websites. Ask friends/family if they can make any good suggestions. Then…most importantly…do your homework! And start early…no late assignments accepted! Go to the salon and ask for a practice run of the wedding style you would like. This will make you feel more at ease on your wedding day.
Last but not least…don’t settle! If you don’t like it…tell her!!! Hairstylists are professionals and they need feedback to make sure they are going to get great referrals from you!! Have fun!!
Alfred Sung Bridesmaid Dresses December 6, 2011
New today at White Traditions Bridal House…..the Spring 2012 line from Alfred Sung!
Why we love Alfred Sung….this line is the perfect combination of vintage and modern. They have sweet designs that are reminiscent of times past, but they also have very modern colors and designs in their line. The bridesmaid dresses have a very polished and classic look that will look great with any bridal gown style you pair them with.
They are also one of the best lines to use if you want all of your bridesmaids to have a different style dress. They are very flexible as far as fabric and length are concerned. Most of the styles come in long length as well as cocktail length. Also, they only offer two different fabrics in the line, and you can choose which one you want in your wedding! This means that any style you like can also come in the fabric that you want! Novel idea, right!!
Call us if you have any questions on the styles, or how to coordinate this into your wedding dream!

The Gifted Wedding November 13, 2011
The Gifted Wedding is a non-profit organization that brings wedding dreams to those in need. If you are not familiar with this organization, you need to check them out! The organization is supported by donations from the community, and the amount of support they get is amazing! These weddings are fabulous and nothing short of…dreams cometrue. The Gifted Wedding is composed of a wonderful group of selfless board members and volunteers who make dreams become reality for individuals while also supporting their own families and professions. This is truly a labor of love…
Check out the website for more information on the organization, and how you can help the cause. BRIDES, they are always looking for donations! If you have wedding decorations that are no longer needed, or you want to make a charitable contribution in lieu of wedding favors.
Do you Pinterest???
WARNING: This site is totally and utterly addicting!!!
If you do not currently use Pinterest…you are missing out! I do not know how I planned my wedding without this ridiculously useful tool. It could possibly be the best way to get/organize all of your wedding ideas in one convenient location. Bridal magazines beware! Why use all of those cutouts when you can just pin your ideas to the correct board and then just log in to see them later! Saves so much time and energy.
So what is it? It is a virtual tool that allows you to search pictures of everything under the sun and find what inspires you. Once you find something inspirational you just “pin it” to your virtual design board, and then you can go back and look at it anytime you want. You just log in to your account and everything is in one place all nice and organized for you! Bottom line…it is amazing and you need to try it!
Super cute idea for tables…right?!!?
Who wouldn’t want to get married in front of something so pretty?!?! So romantic!Thank You!
We just wanted to say thank you to all of you who made a purchase during the month of October. We were able to make a donation that we are proud of to Siteman Cancer Center in St Louis, Missouri. Cancer has somehow touched all of our lives, and every little donation helps. Without funds for research, scientists will never find a cure. This is something that is very important to us here, and we will look forward to doing this event for years to come. Hopefully each year will be more successful than the next!
Thanks Again!
