The holidays are coming, and so is engagement season! Well, technically, it officially begins with Thanksgiving and ends around Valentine's Day, so it's happening right now! Many couples spend about a year wedding planning, which means that many newly engaged couples may be planning to get married during the holidays next year. Brides of America has some helpful advice for these brides & grooms.
Embrace the Season
You can pull a lot of inspiration from the wonderful celebrations that happen in the month of December. The colors, flavors, and natural decor of the season offer a lot of ideas to borrow from. While you want your guests to feel like they are at a wedding rather than a regular holiday party, it's okay to add in a few traditions here and there.
Favors can be wrapped like presents with pretty papers and fancy bows. You signature drinks can incorporate cranberry, apple cider, or even hot chocolate. Lots and lots of greenery will save you money on florals and fit right in with the look and feel of the season.
Holiday Color Inspiration
Red is a very popular color to use during the month of December, and it can be paired beautifully with white or green. A cooler blue and shiny silver is also gorgeous, very reminiscent of a winter wonderland.
This year, Brides of America is noticing a lot less red and green and a lot more blush and eggplant. It is a very sophisticated, earthly color palette, reminding us of classic holidays of the past. Our personal experience with this trend comes from the many beautiful bridesmaid dresses that are being chosen by bridal parties at our Miami bridal boutique.
Save-The-Dates Are A Must
One very important thing that you must do when planning a holiday wedding is to let your guests know about it early. The more notice that they have, the more likely they will be able to work your wedding into their busy holiday schedule. If they will be visiting from out of town, booking travel arrangements early might help them to save a little on those holiday travel price increases.
Realize That Holidays Are Busy
Even with plenty of advance notice, realize going into your planning that some of your guests may already have too many family activities and annual holiday events to attend. This means that your guest count may be lower than it would be at another time of the year.
Not only may your guests be busier than usual, but so will your wedding vendors. Venues tend to book up quickly because of the increased amount of parties being thrown this time of year. Many of those celebrations use the same vendors that you will hire for your wedding, and the high demand often means that those vendors' prices go up.
Beauty For The Holidays
Even if a holiday wedding is not in your near future, our gorgeous bridesmaid gowns make excellent party dresses. Our store is filled with the very best special occasion dresses in South Florida. We would love to help you find the perfect one to make you the Belle of any Ball this season!
If you happen to be one of the lucky ladies to become engaged this year, Brides of America is ready to book your shopping appointment so that you can find your dream wedding dress. Our Morilee Bridal Fall Trunk Show is in its final days, ending on Monday, December 5, 2016. We do have a few appointments still available, and if you are in need of a bridal gown, this is an excellent time to find one!
We have been talking a lot about the 2016 Morilee Bridal Trunk Show that is being hosted at our South Florida bridal boutique November 20 through Monday, December 5. The reason for all of the hype is that this is an AMAZING wedding dress trunk show! As you can see from the dates, it's already in progress. If you haven't booked your appointment to try on these fabulous bridal gowns at Brides of America, you should do it right away.
Special Bonus With Purchase

Wedding Dress Shopping Tips
Once your appointment is made, we have a few tips for you to keep in mind so that your shopping experience is the best possible one that it can be.
- Keep an open mind. - Our bridal gowns come in a wide variety of shapes and styles. Even though you feel one way about a dress in a photo, you may feel differently about it once you try it on. Try lots of silhouettes on until you find your favorite type. This will help to narrow down your options.
- Choose your shopping entourage wisely. - You may want your closest family and friends along with you for this important decision, but don't overdo it. Too many opinions can make the decision more difficult. And if they don't have a positive attitude, leave them at home! Only good vibes on a day like this.
- Remember comfort. - You will be wearing your bridal gown for many hours on the wedding day. Make sure that you choose one that not only looks good, but feels good too. Also, consider the time of day and season in which you will get married. The weather may make a difference, especially if any part of the wedding will be outdoors.
- Arrive on time and prepared. - Showing up late to your appointment will rob you of important "trying on" time. We cannot take time away from the next woman's appointment if you are late. Bring any special items, like a family heirloom veil, along with you so that you can match it to the dress. Also, wear the proper undergarments. Many dresses require assistance to get into, so you may be changing in front of the bridal consultant.
- Trust the consultant. - The consultants in our South Florida bridal boutique are experts when it comes to wedding fashion. If you have any questions at all, they are perfectly qualified and happy to answer. They will also have helpful suggestions for you along the way. The decision is completely yours, but their advice could make it a lot easier.
You can request an appointment online or give us a call at 305-620-6606. Don't hesitate to book your spot right away, because we expect the remaining appointments to fill up fast. All of us here at Brides of America are anxiously awaiting your call, and we can't wait to put you into your brand new, stunning wedding dress.

David Tutera is a well-known name in the wedding industry, and he is hailed as an artistic visionary whose creativity, passion, and talent for bringing beauty to a special occasion have earned him much well-deserved praise and attention. At the young age of 19, after encouragement from his grandfather, who happened to be a successful florist, Tutera began his journey by opening an event planning business. He now runs an award-winning company that covers a wide range of subjects, which include wedding planning and wedding fashion.
According to Tutera, this signature fashion jewelry collection, Embellish by David Tutera, "provides more glamour, sparkle, and personality to sylishly complete your look." These stunning pieces can be worn after your wedding to bring an extra touch of elegance to a special occasion or important evening out. A large range of styles means that there is something perfect for every type of bride.
Inspiration for this jewelry collection comes from the myriad of wedding designs that Tutera has created over the years. The overall look of the celebration combined with the feelings it generated combine masterfully with his imagination to provide women with these unbelievably exquisite fashion accessories.
Not only does the careful attention to the stylized details of each piece of jewelry put it a step above the rest, but this collection is also affordable. You can show off your unique personality without having to blow your entire wedding budget, even though you will look like you spent a pretty penny on these gorgeous pieces of jewelry.
The wedding jewelry that you see in today's blog is available at our wedding dress store in Miami, ready and waiting to go home with you and your beautiful new wedding gown! We've been having a wonderful time oohing and ahhhing over every single piece, and our consultants have already started picking out the perfect dresses to go with each one!
