Vendor Spotlight: WhereBridesGo.com - For What Brides Love!


Where do brides go when they are ready to start planning for a wedding?  Hopefully one of their first stops is to buy a wedding dress at the best bridal gown store in Miami.  After that, a blushing bride-to-be and her groom should go online to visit WhereBridesGo.com.  We love this company and we especially love the amazing couple that owns it.  Brides of America is thrilled to suggest them to all of our engaged couples.  


The husband and wife team of Mike and Sandy Waggett are the lovely couple behind WhereBridesGo.com.  They have been serving brides around the world since 2003, making thousands of weddings extra special.  This incredible online wedding store carries nearly everything you will need to accessorize your special day.  They offer one of the largest selections of wedding cake toppers that you will find anywhere.  You can also purchase gifts for your bridal party, place cards, toasting flutes, unity candle sets, flower girl baskets and ring bearer pillows, guest books... the list goes on and on.  

David had a chance to talk to Sandy about this wonderful online bridal store.  




What made you want to start WhereBridesGo.com?


"When Mike and I were planning our own wedding in 1999, the internet was nowhere close to what it is today.  I remember browsing online using search engines like Mamma.com, Dogpile.com, and AskJeeves.com.  Google was around, but it was in its infancy in terms of users.  

There was really only one wedding planning web site at the time, that was the Knot.  It was very frustrating trying to find wedding resources online in 1999 because the Knot was only major market focused back then.  If I wanted a photographer in Denver, LA, or New York, no problem...but there were really no online resources for the Colorado Springs area.  So... I decided to build something to fix this problem right after our wedding.  We now have 27 sites in our WhereBridesGo.com network!" 


What are your most popular items?

"Our best sellers are the personalized cake toppers.  Many of them can be customized to match the bride's and groom's hair color, shoe color, sash color,etc...  We also sell a lot of bridesmaid's gifts.  You can find gifts for everyone related to the wedding:  groomsmen, parents, flower girls, and more."  



"The coupon code WHATBRIDESLOVE will take 15% off of an order, or you can use the "instant" coupon on our website for 17% off by using the "share" button link on your favorite social media.  We also have a sale page with deeply discounted wedding accessories.  New items are added to this page weekly."   

Is it just you and Mike running the business?

"Mike retired from the Air Force in 2009, where he had been for 24 years, and decided to come to work with me full-time on the business.  The WhereBridesGo.com daily operations are run by my Mom and Step-Dad.  They helped me build the business from the ground up and they care about each and every bride that comes to the site, personally handling every single detail of every single order.  This is what really separates us from the hundreds of other wedding supply stores online today.      

Our company is called MSW Interactive Designs.  In addition to the wedding planning sites and our WhereBridesGo.com retail store, we are a website design and social media company.  We have a talented team of people working with us.  We have 5 full time employees who come to our home office every day and run the social media side of our business, and two more team members working remotely."   


MSW Interactive Designs is a company that has proven to be the best in the business.  They designed our amazing Brides of America website and online store, and they take care of all of our social media platforms.  They are the ones that make sure all of you get to see what is going on with our Miami bridal shop, no matter where in the world that you are. 





WhereBridesGo.com even offers lots of items that would be wonderful to give as holiday gifts.  It is the perfect site to go to when you begin your wedding planning journey.  Take it from your favorite online wedding dress store, this is the place "Where brides go for what brides love!"

Vendor Spotlight: The Gorgeous Floral Designs of Rodri Studio

The best wedding dress store in Miami knows all there is to know about bridal fashion, and we've picked up a lot over the years about everything else "wedding" too.  We hear brides talk, and they are very vocal about how they feel about the vendors that they deal with.  One local floral designer is a favorite with everyone that works with him, and he is a favorite of Brides of America too.  


Angel Rodriguez (known by many lovingly as "Rodri") is the president, creative director, and floral designer for Rodri Studio based in Miami.  He is different than any other flower company in the very best ways possible.  Each new wedding is a brand new inspiration for Rodri.  His goal is to help make every couple's wedding not only beautiful, but truly memorable.  



Close attention is paid to even the tiniest of details, resulting in unforgettable flower arrangements that reflect the true essence of each client.  Rodri is able to exhibit his creative nature by taking an individual flower and arranging it in a way that creates a glorious work of art.  

Our very own David Abadi had a chance to sit down with Rodri and ask him a few questions.

What separates you from the competition?

"I would say it is really how personal I am in building the relationship with my clients. Knowing that I am always there to assist them throughout the wedding process and that they have easy access to reach me at anytime. Additionally, since I love every wedding to be different, I sketch new designs for every client that comes through our door to reflect the style they are looking for. Brides are very visual, doing this helps me picture and explain the concept better, when existing pictures fail to do so."




Which flower is your favorite?

"My favorite flowers to work with are white phalaenopsis orchids. They are so delicate, yet bold and impactful. They add great texture and volume to any design. Blush Peonies are however, a favorite among brides as they are perfect for a romantic wedding and add fragrance to bridal bouquets and centerpieces."


What are the color trends that you are seeing lately?


"Without a doubt a popular color among brides is blush. We have been using soft pink color palettes for the past three years in so many different ways. Blush is here to stay for a while longer. However, as a modern floral designer, I love using bold colors and rich flower textures. Everyday it’s a constant experiment with colors and textures."

Rodri's new website will be up soon, but until then you can see his stunning floral creations on Facebook.  You can also reach his studio by phone or email.
