How to Safely Shop Online for Your Wedding Dress

Our online wedding dress store is listed as an " authorized dealer" or "authorized retailer" of all Mori Lee Bridal Collections. These are very important phrases to look for when you decide to do your bridal gown shopping online rather than in-store. It means that Brides of America is selling designer gowns directly from Mori Lee, and you will never have to worry about receiving a knock-off, copycat dress. 


Shopping for a wedding dress online may be the best option for you if you simply cannot make the time to go to the store, or if the store that you know you want your bridal gown from is too far away from where you live. At Brides of America, we carry only the most exquisite wedding dresses, and we want to make sure that every woman has access to them, not just the lovely brides that are able to travel to our Miami bridal boutique. 



Warning Signs of a Possible Counterfeit Dress

The sale of counterfeit wedding dresses has become a huge problem, especially online, but there are warning signs that you can look out for. If you notice any of the following, proceed with caution. You may be looking at a retailer's site that is not authorized to sell the product that they claim to have. 

Discount of 50% or more
Weddings can get expensive quickly, and finding a beautiful bridal gown at an incredible price can be very tempting. We are not saying that it's impossible to find the perfect brand-name dress at a great price, but if the discount is more than 50% off, more than likely that's too good to be true. 

If a retailer is offering a gown at too low of a price, this could mean that the dress that shows up in the mail is not the one that you thought you were ordering. Instead, it could be their own version, made by an unknown seamstress, with inferior materials and skill. 

Lots of unhappy customer reviews
Reviews reveal a lot about a company. Do an online search for reviews posted outside of the store's own website. WeddingWire.com is a great place to start. 

No one is perfect, so 1 or 2 bad reviews is a possibility for any company, but if the majority of reviews are filled with angry comments and horrible experiences, then you should definitely stop looking at that retailer. If they have made a large amount or women unhappy with their products, your experience is very likely to be similar. 

Retailer's name not on designer's website
Every reputable designer will have a list of places that their gowns are sold. If you cannot find the list, reach out to the company and they will gladly tell you if the store you are researching is actually authorized to sell their products. If the designer has never heard of a store, then you will know that the wedding dresses being sold there are not the real thing.   

No clear contact information or guarantees
If the return information and dress guarantees are difficult to understand, it may be because they don't care about actually guaranteeing your satisfaction. Once that company has your money, they are no longer worried about your experience. 

Also, if there is no clear contact information listed, or if it is impossible to get a hold of anyone through the phone numbers or emails provided, then that is a store you should not be doing business with. If you do have any problems or questions, you want to be able to talk to someone that can help. 


Choose a Store You Know You Can Trust

Brides of America has earned the trust of many extremely happy brides over the years. A quick look through the amazing Wedding Wire reviews that have been left for us will show you that our Miami wedding dress store means what we say, and we only sell the highest quality bridal gowns available. We have even been given the Wedding Wire Bride's Choice and Couples' Choice Awards for the past 8 years in a row!



We exclusively sell all of the Mori Lee lines, and you will find us prominently displayed on their authorized retailer page. Our dresses come in a wide variety of styles at many different prices points, and you will never be pressured into buying a gown that is out of your budget. Our goal is not to make a sale, but to get you into the wedding dress that is perfect for you. 

If you have any questions or concerns at all, you can always reach us by phone, email, and even through our social media channels. When you order a wedding dress online from Brides of America, one of our talented bridal consultants will call you within 48 hours to confirm all of the details before the order is officially placed.     


Shopping for your bridal gown online can result in you finding the dream dress that you have been searching for, as long as you are careful and keep an eye out for the warning signs we have listed above. If at any point you are in need of assistance, reach out to us at Brides of America. We are always happy to help our customers in any way that we can. 



The gown of your dreams awaits you.

The key  to wearing a tiara is placement.  You hairdresser should be able to help you with this.  The sooner you choose your hair accessories, the sooner you and your stylist can decide on your best look for the day.  You can visit our wedding dress store in Miami to experience the new designs or buy bridal tiaras online through our website.

We can also guarantee that you and your bridesmaids will be spoiled and pampered when you come in to our wedding dress store in Miami to try on gowns.  "I love to make my bridesmaid customers happy, because then they will want to come back as one of my bridal customers someday," says David.  

Let our fashionable staff help you find the wedding gown of your dreams, then bring your favorite girls back in with you so that we can dress them up gorgeously too.  Brides of America in Miami will make sure that you all look like you belong in the same wedding party, even if everyone is not dressed in identical gowns.

Royal Bridal Gowns and Their Influence on Brides

Women throughout time have been fascinated with real-life princesses and their weddings.  Royal wedding gowns have always had a huge impact on bridal fashion.  Some of the beautiful  MoriLee wedding dresses online and in Miami  that are sold by Brides of America have been inspired by these influences.

Lately, many brides have been asking for these types of dresses.  Their classic look never goes out of style.  Brides really love the elegant long sleeves and the graceful lace.  A photo of David Abadi's mother's dress, which resembles a royal dress, is seen by everyone that enters the Miami wedding dress store, and there are always compliments about the charming style of her gown.

Over the decades, royal wedding dresses have changed some, but similarities are there.  They remain modest, with long sleeves and the necklines are not too low.  Long veils and tiaras are always present.  Each gown exudes class and gracefulness.

Brides can find key elements from these royal dresses in some of the wedding gowns sold by Brides of America.  The long sleeves, the lace, the high neck of Grace's gown, the V-neck of Kate's dress, the full skirt of Diana's, or floral patterns on the skirt reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth's.      



Finally, you cannot completely feel like a princess without a tiara.  Pair that with a Chapel or Cathedral length veil, and you are well on your way to rivaling royalty.  Brides of America offers many varieties of headpieces and veils hand-crafted by Maritza's Bridal Veils.  





Regardless of your fashion style, when you shop for your wedding gown and accessories at Brides of America, you will get the special attention that will make you feel like a queen for the day.  We will do everything that we can to make sure that you feel that exact same way on your wedding day.

4 Tips For Choosing the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

A bridesmaid is someone that is very special to a bride.  A close friend or family member that is dear enough to you that you want them to take part in one of the most special days of your entire life.  This makes choosing the dress for this person important both because they are meaningful to you, and because they will be standing with you, helping to set the style and feel of your wedding.


Bride's of America offers you a tremendous selection of styles and colors of best bridesmaid dresses in Miami at our store.  Our prices are very compatible, starting at $149.95 up to $249.95, so your girls do not have to break the bank to look fabulous standing next to you.  Here are a few tips to help you and your crew have a pleasant experience when choosing these special gowns.

Think about the wedding style.
The bridesmaid dresses should compliment the wedding as much as they compliment your friends.  When you start shopping, consider your own dress's fabric and style, the wedding colors, the season, and the place that you are getting married.  Our best sellers still tend to be long dresses, but if you are getting married mid-Summer on a beach, maybe a tea-length or mini would be better for your girls.    

One size doesn't fit all.
Just as each of your friends has a unique personality, more than likely they also have a body shape that is not exactly like all of your other friends.  It is very important to look for dress styles that can be flattering on all shapes and sizes.  If only 2 out of your 3 bridesmaids look stunning in the gown, it doesn't hurt to keep looking.  These are special people to you, and you do not want anyone feeling bad about themselves at your wedding.  You want them all to feel beautiful and be happy with you.


The same, but not identical.
A very popular trend for bridesmaid dresses is to have each girl wear a different dress, eliminating a little of the pressure to find one style that suits everyone.  You pick one color and fabric, and each girl gets to pick the dress style that she looks the best in.  If you are lucky enough to find that one style that all of the girls love, you can get them all in different colors if you are having a very colorful wedding, or in varying shades of the same color.  It's also nice to tie each dress together with other unifying elements, like having them all in the same shoes or having everyone wear the same piece of jewelry.  The goal is to look like you all belong together.    

Trust your bridesmaids.
It is your day, so the final say will be yours, but remember that your friends love you as much as you love them, and someone in that position will not be trying to ruin your day.  Trust their opinions.  Start by picking out the dresses that are your favorites, then let your bridesmaids weigh in on their favorites from your choices.  A bride always tells her bridesmaids "... and you can wear it again after the wedding!"  When you listen to what your friends really like in a dress, this is much more likely to actually happen.



Brides of America carries all types of styles in splendid colors, gorgeous patterns, and exquisite fabrics.  We even offer mix and match tops and skirts to flatter everyone.  Our Mori Lee bridesmaid dresses are designed to create a beautiful bridal party in fabulous fabrics from chiffon to lace.  The collections that we carry include Bridesmaids, Affairs, Angelina Faccenda Bridesmaids, Lace Affairs, and Tulle Affairs by Madeline Gardner.  



We would love to assist you and your bridesmaids in finding the perfect dresses for your wedding. Let us help you showcase your beautiful wedding party and add to the special feeling of your grand day.

Brides of America loves being able to offer our beautiful brides the best wedding gowns that we feature in our Miami store and online, but once you have the perfect dress, we can also help you add your own personality to it with some wonderful accessories.  We are proud to offer gorgeous wedding dress accessories designed by Maritza's Bridal Veils, Inc.

We have been dealing with this brilliant company since 1992, and we believe that they carry the most beautiful accessories to combine our dresses with your personal style in the very best way possible.  The way that you accessorize your dress is the final step in making it your very own one-of-a-kind look for your special day.

VEILS

A veil is a piece of opaque or transparent material worn so as to fall over the head and shoulders of the bride.  These are available in various lengths and styles.

 HEADPIECES

A headpiece can be worn alone or combined with a veil.  These can be combs, tiaras, headbands, and more.  

BELTS

A belt can add an extra oomph to any dress and can change the feel of the look to fit your style.

JEWELRY

Beautiful jewelry compliments the best of dresses, decorating your neck, arms, and ears .  


Maritza and her daughter Jackie are both amazing and very talented.  With over 40 years of experience, the craftsmanship and detail on all of the pieces are what sets them apart from the competition.  Their stunning creations are handmade with the best quality materials, including Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, and fresh water pearls.  Maritza is also very well known for her custom designs.  

When you shop at Brides of America, we will make sure that you are covered from head to toe in the perfect styles to showcase the unique and wonderful bride that you are.

The Difference in Shades of Wedding Dresses


Wedding dress "white" is a little different for every bride.  One of the reasons that we consider ourselves the best wedding dress store in Miami and online is that we believe that each bride should pick the color of dress that looks the best on her and makes her feel the most beautiful.  White, ivory, and champagne colored dresses may look very similar to the untrained eye.  If you believe that you need a white dress just because that's what is expected, don't count out these other shades.  

In the 80's, 99.9% of all wedding dresses sold were white.  No one wanted ivory, but a big reason for that is because ivory in the 80's had a very yellow shade to it. 

In the 90's dress sales changed.  It was closer to half of the dresses sold being white and half being ivory.   

Today nearly 99% of Brides of America wedding dresses sold are ivory.  High end fabric that might be thought of as white to a shopper is most likely actually ivory. Today's ivory is not yellowish like before, but more of an off-white.  White dresses sold now are more of a very bright white and are often made of a synthetic fabric.  



Champagne is another popular color for wedding dresses.  While still light in color, it is just a bit earthier and darker than ivory.  The name for the color comes from the drink of the same name.   



You need to pick the wedding dress that gives you that moment where you look in the mirror and just know that it's "the one."  Brides of America is happiest when you are happy.  Choose the dress that is right for you, no matter what the color.
