Our Elegant Quinceanera Dresses from Mori Lee by Vizcaya

Brides of America is much more than a store to find exquisite dresses for weddings.  We are also known for having the best quinceanera dresses in Miami.  As with our wedding gowns, we only carry dresses from Mori Lee.  Their Vizcaya quinceanera dress collection is made with the highest quality, and they are the most elegant dresses that you will find for a young lady. Even though they are labeled as "quinceanera," many young women also love these dresses for their Sweet 16 parties.

Quinceanera is the celebration of a girl turning 15 years old, and it symbolizes her journey into womanhood.  A grand party is thrown in her honor and she is the princess for the day.  When you make an appointment to try on quinceanera dresses at Brides of America, your daughter will be treated like a princess on that day too!  


Says owner David Abadi, "We love to spoil our young ladies when they are searching for the perfect party dress, just like we spoil all of our brides.  During her appointment, all of our attention will be on her - what she likes, how it fits, how she feels in the dress - and we will do everything that we can to make sure that she is perfectly happy while she is here!"  

The Vizcaya collection from Mori Lee stays true to the traditions and spirit of quinceanera gowns. Every gown has its own unique personality, just like the young ladies they are made for.  The skirts are always long, full, and flowing.  You will find the perfect balance between sweet, young innocence and tasteful womanly fashion.

Most dresses also have a matching stole or bolero that may be worn along with them.  Every style is offered in a few different color choices.  In the entire Vizcaya collection, you will find a rainbow of colors to choose, from soft & delicate to bold and bright.    

Our special occasion dress store in Miami also carries a lovely line of tiaras for the young lady that would like to add a bit of bling to her ensemble. Every headpiece contains the best quality materials, including Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, and pearls.  The custom designs that we carry from Martizas Bridal Veils, Inc. are a beautiful finishing touch to a young lady's quinceanera look.  

A girl's quinceanera marks a significant time in her life, and Brides of America wants to make sure that the quinceanera dress that she chooses is just as special as she is.  Visit us soon and let her try on a few of these exquisite creations from Mori Lee.  We will not stop until that very special young woman is completely happy.

Bridal Belts - A Small Accessory Can Make a Huge Difference

Occasionally, the perfect wedding dress needs nothing more than you putting it on to make it the most special one ever.  Most of the time though, a bridal gown truly comes alive when you start accessorizing it.  This is the best way to truly make it yours.  The best wedding dress store in Miami knows exactly how to help our brides personalize their gown in many ways.  One small item that can make a huge difference to a look is the bridal belt. 

Brides of America has access to the most stunning and beautiful bridal belts and sashes. Our owner, David Abadi, said, "Bridal Belts are very popular.  I would say that about 80% of our brides ask for them."    This one accessory can do many things.  

Make it your own.

Picking out the perfect bridal belt can change a wedding dress into a unique fashion statement that is all yours.  The possibilities are endless, and each bride's personal tastes and style have the ability to change a dress's look completely with an accessory.  If two women happen to pick out the exact same wedding dress, something as small as the belt or sash choice can fool the eye into thinking that they are completely different dresses.   

Bring on the bling.  

Belts can be as simple as a lovely satin ribbon, or completely covered in all kinds of rhinestones and jewels.  They can add just a small amount of bling to a satin dress, or add a lot of sparkle to an already elaborate gown.  Again, the possibilities are endless.      

Highlight your shape.

Bridal belts and sashes are also an excellent way to emphasize the waist, often making you look taller and thinner.  Highlighting the area defines your waist in a very flattering way.  Depending on exactly how you position the belt, you can change the look dramatically.  "It is so much fun to watch a dress transform into a completely new look after we try out a few different belts," said David. 

Here at Brides of America, you are sure to find the wedding dress of your dreams.  After that task is accomplished, we will then help you make it truly your own.  By the end of your appointment, your gown will reflect who you are for all to see on your very special day.

Vendor Spotlight - About Invitations & Events

Our Miami wedding dress store is all about giving each and every bride the specialized, personal attention that she deserves when she shops with Brides of America.  This type of service is also extremely important to our very good friend and incredibly talented invitation designer, Annlyn Kroll of About Invitations & Events.  Her company creates the most beautiful, custom-designed invitations in the USA.      

  

Our owner, David Abadi, has known and worked with Annlyn for 25 years. "Annlyn is so very talented," says David.  "Her designs and calligraphy are absolutely amazing. She has helped me out a lot over the years in many ways.  She has always given me tremendous support in everything that I do." 

David asked Annlyn some questions recently so that he could share her story and work with all of you.  
  

How did you get into the invitation business?

Annlyn Kroll, About Invitations & Events

I used to have a card and gift store with books full of invitations to order from other companies. Brides eventually started ordering more more and more invitations online because they were being offered at a much cheaper price.  The invite companies that I worked with, in turn, got more expensive for me to carry.  

Many brides also began making their own invitations.  I started paying attention to what they were liking and realized, Hey, I can make those.  I already had an art background, but decided to take a few classes in the evenings. It turns out I have quite a knack for it, and now I have been making my own invites for about 15 years.    


What other services do you offer?  

Most of the invitations that I create are for weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs. Sometimes I have requests for sweet 16 parties, birthdays, and quinceaneras. Customers can order from the invitation companies that we deal with, or I can make custom invitations.  I also offer calligraphy for invitations, envelopes, place cards, and more.   

What goes into your custom invitations?
I have access to gorgeous textured papers from places like India and Australia. Customers can look at swatches of these to see exactly what the invite will be made from.  Putting these together myself, I can offer a much better price than the ones sold out of the invitation books.  Also, I can offer that personal touch and customer service that you don't get ordering online.  

I can't tell you how many times that brides have come to me with invitations that they got from an online store at a discount price that they are not happy with.  Some show up a different size than expected or look completely different, and many are simply poorly made.  Trying to save money buying those discounted invitations ends up costing them extra because they have to fix or replace them.      



Have you noticed any recent trends in the invites couples are choosing?
Brides seem to be sticking with neutral colors like ivory, white, and champagne.  Shimmer paper is popular.  Couples seem to go one of two ways. Either a simple, modern style with fun fonts, or textured & embossed paper adorned with glitter, jewels, or rhinestones.  

Anything to add? 
Brides do not have to come to Boca Raton for my invitations.  I work with people all over the country.  I am very customer-service friendly and like to work with people one-on-one, like they are sitting in my living room.



Don't settle for just any invitation for your wedding.  It is the first thing that your guests will see to set the mood for the entire event, and invites can tie in nicely to the rest of the wedding.  Our Miami wedding gown store has noticed the same neutral color trend mentioned above in our bridesmaid dress sales.  It all goes together.     

Annlyn puts an incredible amount of love and care into everything that she does, much like the team here at Brides of America.  Please visit About Invitations & Events to see all of the exquisite possibilities that she has available for you.

Mori Lee's Spring 2016 Collection is Here!

Mori Lee Bridal recently held a private showing previewing their entire 2016 Spring Collection.  Our own David Abadi was lucky enough to get to attend this fabulous show.  Below is a sneak peek at some of the amazing designs that you will be able to purchase from the best wedding dress store in Miami for your upcoming wedding.  They will be available to you this January!

All of us here at Brides of America are very excited about these Spring 2016 bridal fashions.  Mori Lee's extremely talented designer, Madeline Gardner, and the other fabulous lines have outdone themselves once again.  David said, "The collection has a very early, 1950's-era type of feel.  I absolutely love that era.  It is my favorite!  The dresses brought to my mind the timeless and glamorous look of Marilyn Monroe."  

Wearing a Mori Lee wedding dress on her special day is a dream of many brides today.  Earlier this week, a woman came in for her appointment at our Miami bridal shop.  She started out by telling David that she had fallen in love with a dress at another store already.  She then showed him a photo of her trying on that gown, and our very honest owner told her how absolutely beautiful she looked in that dress.  "It fit her beautifully, and I asked her why in the world didn't she purchase that gown?  It wouldn't have been a sale for us, but it was a perfect dress for her," stated David.  

This bride-to-be then shared with David that she had been dreaming of wearing a Mori Lee dress from Brides of America ever since she first became engaged.  She had found us online through our incredible reviews from very satisfied customers and immediately knew that she wanted the personalized bridal experience that we are known for.  Without at least trying on a few of our Mori Lee dresses, she knew that she would never be completely satisfied.  

By the time the appointment was over, she ended up leaving our store with her perfect Mori Lee dream dress.  "This was the first time that a bride came to me saying her dream was to buy a dress specifically from us.  By the end of the appointment, we were both shedding tears of happiness!"  

       
This new 2016 collection will definitely be making dreams come true for many more brides.  You can watch the Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner Runway Show LIVE ONLINE from New York Bridal Fashion Week.  Visit www.morilee.com this Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 11 am Eastern to see their enchanting new Spring 2016 collection. 

Brides of America is proud to exclusively offer dresses from Mori Lee.  As one of their authorized retailers, you know that our online wedding dress store, as well as our Miami bridal gown store, will only have the highest quality, most exquisite fashions available for your wedding.  

Above and beyond that, you are guaranteed to be treated as the very important person that you are when you decide to shop with us.  Make your appointment in January to be one of the first lucky ladies to take home a wedding gown from this amazing collection.
