Happy Brides Made 2016 An Amazing Year For Brides Of America

Our wedding dress store in Miami had another amazing year, and as always, that is greatly due to the wonderful brides-to-be that grace our dressing rooms all year long. Helping women find the bridal gown that makes their heart happy is our favorite thing in the world, and all of us at Brides of America strive to make that happen for each and every bride that enters our South Florida bridal boutique. 


The reaction that each woman has to the dress she chooses is a wonderful indicator that we have done our job, but it's the kind reviews that many leave for us on various wedding websites that lets us know for sure. Below, we have shared a few of our most recent reviews. If you have recently become engaged and will soon be looking for a wedding dress and bridesmaids' gowns, know that you can expect a similar experience to the ones below when you come in for your own appointment. 

"I love this store! Out of all the ones I've been too, this one was the most professional, it has an amazing 'Say Yes to the Dress' style, which made the experience more exciting. David, the owner, loves his job and cares about helping the bride-to-be find her perfect gown. He asked me personal questions to help match my personality to a dress and helped me feel comfortable. He showed us many options and wasn't insisting or pushy if I didn't like the option he showed me. The second dress I tried on was my favorite, exactly the style I had been looking for, and he uses clamps and pillows to adjust the sample dress to your body so I could envision how I'll look on your wedding day.
He seems very perfectionist, which I believe is great for any bride who wants her dress altered to the most flattering, perfect fit. He is very kind, well-educated and pleasant to his customers. I can't wait to get my dress from Brides of America!!

"I don't know where to start. This was the first dress shop I visited in the search for my perfect wedding dress. Everyone was welcoming, it was as if I stepped into a family member's home. David took the time to listen, get to know me, and he has a affinity for picking up on your likes/dislikes. I made appointments at other dress boutiques, they did not compare even the higher end dress boutiques that Miracle Mile in Coral Gables boast's about. Three months later I made an appointment at Brides of America again and everyone remembered me down to David's mother, she is beautiful by the way and radiates a motherly peace. Jackie and Sylvana are the absolute best it was as if I was dress shopping with my aunt and cousin. They made me feel beautiful and always gave me their honest opinions. No one forced me to purchase a dress that I didn't want or overextend my budget. At my second visit I found the one. It is a dress that I never thought of wearing but I was open to suggestions. Thank you everyone at Brides of America Miami. Ladies do not walk to this shop. Run!"

"My sisters and I found the bridesmaid dresses that we wanted for our wedding at Brides of America. So, we trekked across state to check them out and it was certainly worth the trip. The staff there was super welcoming and helpful. We were able to find and order the dresses that we needed. Unfortunately, we did run into a bit of a snafu as there was an error in the recording on measurements for one of the bridesmaids (the dress was too small). However, David and his team worked diligently to make it right in time for the wedding. I couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you!"
~Amber P, the Knot review


"My experience was absolutely AWESOME!! Both Sylvana and Jackie were great and very friendly and helpful. The owner David is very nice and makes you feel welcomed the minute you walk into the store. They helped me choose a very beautiful dress, and the thing I love about them the most, they gave me their honest opinion, and you can't get that everywhere. Was my first & last store!!Thank you guys!!!"
~Lise Joseph, Google review

"Wow, I don’t know where to start. 3+ years I walked into David’s shop at a different location. He helped my mother & I design the gown of my dreams. Other stores told us I couldn’t have what I was looking for, like an extra-long cathedral train, veil long than the train, etc., but all David kept saying was “Not a problem”. Unfortunately, I called the wedding off. Yet, David held onto my dress. He even tried staying in contact with me, but because I’m in the military keeping up with me is next to impossible. My sister is now getting married & I wanted her to find the wedding dress of her dreams. An appointment with David is not just about finding a perfect dress. The moment you walk into his doors you receive warmth, love, family, & laughter; combinations that put the icing on a memorable journey into a new life. Of course, when I walked in he didn’t know who I was, but as soon as he heard my name, he remembered everything about each appointment I ever had in the past, down to every detail of my dress. Normal shops would have tried reselling the same dress, but he instead donated the dress to someone that dreamed of a Cinderella dress like mine (Make a Wish Foundation or someone similar). Words could never explain my feeling, my eyes instantly filled with tears; he made me apart of something wonderful just by being the ANGEL that he is. My sister found a wonderful dress. He pulled out 5 dresses. He then pulled out another dress & said, “I want you to try this one on for me. Please try it on first” & that’s where the shopping stopped. The dress was GORGEOUS on her. She is going to be to most beautiful bride ever in Jamaica & it is all because of David. I LOVE YOU DAVID!!!"
~Nicole, Wedding Wire review

"GREAT EXPERIENCE! THEY HELP ME FIND THE DRESS OF MY DREAMS! This was about the 4th or 5th bridal gown store I visited & by far the best and last one! I happily purchased my wedding dress by the end of my appointment. David is amazing & great at what he does! After sitting down with me and getting to know me better he chose all the right styles off the rack. David makes sure not only that you leave with a beautiful gown that suits your style and body but he also has the best prices! The customer service here is exceptional. David is honest, friendly and funny and he makes the bridal gown process enjoyable and stress free. I highly recommend any bride looking for a bridal gown to make an appointment with Brides of America."
~Isarys S, the Knot review

Big Fashion For The Smallest Bridal Party Member - Your Flower Girl

Brides of America knows that finding the perfect dress to wear on your very special day can be a dream come true. Once you've accomplished that and picked out some amazing bridesmaid gowns, you can start looking at adorable little dresses to put your flower girl in. You will find many beautiful choices at our Miami bridal boutique from the incredible Joan Calabrese, and in today's blog, we've put together a few tips and ideas for the littlest beauty at your wedding. 


Choosing Your Flower Girl
Traditionally, the young lady gently dropping flower petals to adorn the bride's walk down the aisle is under the age of 10. Of course, when it comes to your wedding, that's completely up to you. There is no set rule saying older girls cannot be a flower girl, and we've even seen some sweet photos online from a couple that used their grandmother's in this role. 

As far as the number of flower girls, one is sufficiently adorable enough to please the crowd and get the job done. Two young ladies allow them to help each other down the aisle, making it a little less scary. If you want to have an entire parade of flower girls announcing your entrance, well, that could be pretty impressive. Definitely something your guests will remember!


Getting Her Ready For Your Big Day
If your flower girl is very young, she may need a little more prep work than an older girl. Walking down that long aisle with lots of strangers staring at you can be intimidating for a child. Get her excited by talking about it often before the wedding, and make sure that she is at the rehearsal for practice. Also, make sure that someone she trusts is at the front of the ceremony to coax her down the aisle, and another trusted person is at the back of the aisle to get the walk started. Never expect a young child to stand through the entire ceremony. They could get bored, and it's very likely that they will distract your guests from the important part - your vows.   


Picking The Perfect Dress
When it comes time to dress shop, we suggest having a style in mind that will work well with your overall wedding plans, but listen to your flower girl's opinions too. Find a few dresses that you love, then bring her in to pick her favorite from those. Your flower girl will be much more cooperative if she gets to make some of her own decisions. Brides of America will help to make sure that this particular shopping trip is a very special experience for her. 


The Fashions of Joan Calabrese
You will find the best flower girl dresses in Miami within our walls, and that is due to the fact that we carry the amazing collections of Joan Calabrese. Joan grew up in Philadelphia, born into a family of Italian artisans. Her love of fashion blossomed at an early age. She began sewing clothing for her dolls from the fabric scraps that she collected. Eventually earning a full scholarship to the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, she chose to turn it down and stay home with her family instead. That did not stop her from pursuing her passion though. Having two young daughters of her own, Joan decided to create fabulous clothing for children. 

Her now successful business began in 1975 with an order for 40 dresses that she crafted in her basement studio. Not long after that, large orders began pouring in. Her clothing has been worn by young members of the British Royal Family, daughters of many Heads of State, and numerous celebrity children. The Metropolitan Museum of Art features two of Joan's designs in their Permanent Collection of their Costume Institute, and she has even been installed in the Costume Collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Joan makes it a point to attend fabric shows in Paris twice a year. Her design inspiration comes from European fashion and couture fashion publications. Fine fabrication is extremely important to her, and her dresses are well-known for their exquisite fabric and detail, as well as pristine lines. Every little girl will feel as special and pretty as the bride in one of these adorable and whimsical flower girl dresses.


Finding the perfect flower girl for your wedding is one of the more fun things that you will have to do during your wedding planning. It's Brides of America's pleasure to help you find the perfect flower girl dress for her. Let our Miami bridal boutique put you in the most amazing wedding dress, then we'll get to work on all of the rest of the wedding day fashions too. 

The gown of your dreams awaits you.
