Top Wedding Gown Picks: May 8
This week our theme is strapless dresses, and we wanted to show off the different ways that strapless can be done. Here's what's catching our eye this week!
1. Dare to be Different! Bridal Alternative in Vancouver
For all of you ladies who don't want a traditional wedding dress, consider this fun and funky ivory/white silk and organza bridal alternative. Light as a feather and purchased last July, this could be a unique option for a summer or destination wedding, when you want to be comfortable and beautiful.
2. Brand New and Never Been Worn in Toronto!
Looking for a great deal? This size 16 white strapless dress was purchased for over $900 and has never been worn. It is being sold for just $350 on smartbrideboutique.ca, perfect for a classic wedding.
3. Pretty in Pick Ups in Ottawa
This ivory princess strapless gown by Allure is on smartbrideboutique.ca for just $650. It is accentuated by light flowers embroidered in the bodice and the skirt gets extra detail using "pick ups". Pick ups make altering dress length very easy, because if you need it shortened, your seamstress can just add a few extra pickups. Conversely, if you want it longer, let out a few pick ups. Our Smart Bride added a beautiful 3 tier bussel to really give some extra fullness.
4. Strapless and Stunning in Toronto
Our next choice is another classic strapless size 4 Bianca Nygard white satin wedding gown. With a full skirt, 2' train that can be bustled and heavy beading on the bodice, this dress really sparkles. To top it off, this Smart Bride is also willing to sell her veil, all for $500!
5. Lovely with Lace in Vancouver
Our last strapless pick for this week uses a side sweep lace overlay to add some interesting (and slimming!) lines to a beautiful silhouette. At $700, this simple and elegant size 12 Sincerity Bridal won't be around for long!
