The type of fabric and accents chosen to create the most beautiful wedding dresses is very important to the design and final look of any bridal gown. Many of the most exquisite dresses combine different elements to create a uniquely fabulous overall look. Brides of America's racks are filled with amazing combinations that have created the most stunning bridal gowns we have ever seen.
This season, Morilee has masterfully integrated this mix and match type of look into their collections. This creates gowns that are truly works of fine art. The use of different types of fabrics along with intricate beading and delicate lace gives off a wonderful, three-dimensional look.
"I remember in the 80's," says David Abadi, Brides of America owner, "when designers did not use this mix and match style on gowns, but fashion changes every day. Right now this is the hottest look on the bridal market. I love it!"
Below we have provided a few examples of the marvelous combinations that we are seeing on wedding dresses this year. Each one creates a one-of-a-kind look that is simply breathtaking. These bridal gowns are sure to wow every single guest at your wedding.
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but seeing these amazing wedding fashions in person is the very best way to truly appreciate their beauty. When you make an appointment at our Miami wedding dress store, make sure that you let us know which combinations that we have featured are your favorites. This will help the consultants at Brides of America know what type of styles you should try on first. Our fashion knowledge and your own personal style matched together will combine magically to discover the wedding dress of your dreams.
Brides of America loves being able to help women look and feel beautiful on the special days in their lives. This is not limited to the wedding day. In addition to the many exquisite special occasion gowns that we carry, we also offer offer the most gorgeous quinceanera dresses in Miami.
On a young lady's 15th birthday, Quinceanera symbolizes that girl's journey into womanhood. A wonderful moment like that deserves a very special gown. Brides of America is proud to be able to offer the Vizcaya quinceanera dress collection from the brilliant Madeline Gardner and Morilee. The attention to detail, expert craftsmanship, quality materials, and fabulous designs of Morilee are all reasons why we only carry their brand. Only the very best for our customers!
The new fall collection from Vizcaya is different from the designs that we have seen in the past. This year we are noticing a lot more bling, yet the styles are even more sophisticated than before. A wonderful detail about these gowns is that the crinoline is already built into the dress, so there is no need for an extra piece underneath to give it that gorgeous fullness.
At the same time, these quinceanera gowns still stay true to tradition. The skirts are long, full, and flowing, exuding the perfect balance between sweet, young innocence and tasteful womanly fashion.
While these gowns are designed with quinceanera in mind, they are just as perfect for a young woman's sweet 16 party or other important evening, such as prom. Anyone that wants to look and feel like a princes for a day will love these stunning dresses.
No matter what the occasion, from quinceanera to weddings, each and every customer that comes in for a shopping appointment in our Miami special occasion dress store is given our undivided attention while she is here. "We love to spoil our young ladies when they are searching for the perfect party dress, just like we spoil all of our brides." says owner David Abadi, "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!"
Most of our quinceanera dresses have a matching stole or bolero that may be worn for a bit of added modesty and style. Each gown is available in different color choices too. No matter what your daughter's personal style, you will be able to find something perfect that will make you both equally happy.
If you know a young lady that will soon be celebrating her own special day and is looking for the best quinceanera dress in Miami, send her our way. Not only will she find quality, variety, and style at Brides of America, but also the friendliest and most knowledgeable customer service to go along with it. We cannot wait to enhance your young lady's inner beauty with a fabulous gown to match it.
Brides of America is highly regarded among the wedding community, and a big reason for this is the fact that our customers report having incredible experiences in our store and finding the most beautiful wedding dresses in Miami and online. There are lots of places where you can read honest reviews, and one of them that we see a lot of comments on is Wedding Wire.
This site has the largest network of local wedding vendors, representing many different areas around the world.

"I believe a review is the best way to know if a vendor is legit, but not all reviews are real," said David. "Wedding Wire monitors all of the reviews on their page so that you can be sure they are from a real bride."
Our wedding dress store in Miami has been with Wedding Wire since 2009, and over time, they have shown us that they are a very trustworthy company. It seems as if they have come to trust us too. We have earned the honor of their Wedding Wire Award for 8 years in a row. We proudly display these plaques because they remind us that we are doing a good job for our lovely customers, and it encourages us to keep up the excellent work.

You're married! Congratulations on hosting an incredible day that resulted in the beginning of your new "happily ever after" as Mr. and Mrs. That wedding planning to-do list is all checked off and long gone, but there are a few more tasks that will need to be taken care of now that the wedding is over. Brides of America has compiled these for you in today's blog.
Some of these need to be taken care of right away, and a few can be handled at a leisurely pace. The quicker you get them done, though, the more at ease your mind will be. Working together will make these tasks go by smoothly and quickly.
Return rented wedding items
Hopefully you assigned this job to someone responsible before the wedding and they took care of it already. Still, it's always wise to double-check that it is done. After all, you're the one that will owe more money if items are not returned.
Update your new last name.
If you have taken on a new last name at the ceremony, it also has to be done legally on paper. Everything that you signed up for when you were single will now need to be updated to feature your current name.
The process of name-changing can differ from state to state, but most will require you to provide a certified copy of your marriage license. Begin with the two big ones - your social security card and your driver's license. Next, take care of other documents, like car titles, bank accounts, credit cards, etc... After that, work on switching over any subscriptions, memberships, online profiles, and such.
Get Your Wedding Dress Professionally Cleaned
You probably won't be wearing this again any time soon, but possibly in the future for a vow renewal or to pass on to your daughter. The longer you wait to have it cleaned, the more likely that stains will set in. Don't try to clean it yourself. The delicate fabrics and intricate accents require the attention of a professional.
Before you send it away for cleaning, hang it up on a padded or plastic hanger, and do not wrap it in plastic. This can trap moisture and cause anything that has been spilled on the dress, as well as the oils from your body, to ruin the fabric. When choosing a dress cleaner, find someone that will also preserve your bridal gown so that you can store it safely until it is needed again.
Update your address
Unless you already lived together, at least one of you will be moving to a new address. Along with changing your name, make sure that your new address is correct on everything too (subscriptions, memberships, etc...) Don't forget to send out the information to all of your family and friends also. One way to do that is through the next task.
Write & mail the thank you notes
If you were writing these as gifts came in before the wedding, then you're a little bit ahead of the game. Most guests probably brought a gift with them to the ceremony and reception though, so you will have a mountain of thank you notes left to write. You should aim to have them all written and delivered by 3 months after the wedding date. Either set a day aside and tackle them together all at once, or work on a few every evening while you watch television together or talk over your day.
Return or exchange wedding gifts
You probably ended up with a few duplicate gifts, and possibly even a few things that you simply know you will not use. Make returns or exchanges soon after the wedding, because the longer you wait to do this, the more likely those gifts will get shoved to the back of a closet and forgotten about.
Pick out your favorite wedding photos
This is one more task that may never get done if you keep putting it off. Even if the photographer has given you digital copies of every photograph taken at the wedding, the longer you wait to print out your favorites, the less likely they will ever get printed. Make an effort to order at least a couple of the best ones to display in your home, and maybe a few to give away to immediate family.
You may not have need for our Miami bridal boutique immediately after your wedding, but know that we are here for you in the future. We have a beautiful selection of special occasion gowns available, plus gorgeous Quinceanera dresses for any daughters that may be in your future. Once again, congratulations from all of us here at Brides of America for your recent marriage. We wish you both many, many years of happiness together.
