7 Tips to Have the Best Wedding Dress Shopping Appointment Ever!

The first step to finding your dream bridal gown is to make an appointment to visit our Miami wedding dress store. What's next? Well, the following tips should help you to have a very successful wedding dress shopping appointment at Brides of America


Do your homework.

During the hour that you are here for your wedding dress shopping appointment, there will be a lot of gowns to go through in a limited amount of time. Browse online and through wedding magazines to get an idea of what your favorite styles are. This will give us a great starting point to begin searching for the perfect dress for you. 


Choose your shopping partners wisely. 

Just as "too many cooks spoil the broth," too many opinions can ruin your shopping trip. Limit the people that come to your appointment with you. Only involve your nearest and dearest friends and family that have good attitudes, know your personal style, and have your best interests at heart. 

Arrive on time & ready to shop.

We are an appointment-only store because that allow us to give you our undivided attention while you are shopping. It is extremely important that you use that time wisely so that you get the most out of it. 

Arrive on time, no more than ten minutes early, and be ready to dive right in. There are many brides wanting appointments at Brides of America every week, and we generally have one booked every hour that we are open. If you show up late, there will not be enough time to give you the attention you deserve, and unfortunately we may have to cancel and reschedule for another time. If it looks like you will not be able to make your scheduled appointment, let us know as soon as possible.   


Ask lots of questions.

Our talented bridal consultants are well-trained and highly knowledgeable when it comes to wedding fashions. In addition to that, we have encountered lots of situations over the years, so there is a very good chance that any question you have about wedding fashions, we'll have an answer for you. At the very least, we should know where to find the answer. Our knowledge and experience are at your disposal.   


Leave the kids at home.

We love children, however, we find that they become impatient quickly and cause unnecessary stress to the appointment holder. We ask kindly that you please leave the little ones at home. If you absolutely must bring them along with you, you will need to book your appointment on a weekday and clear it with the management. Also, please be aware that we cannot allow any pets inside of the bridal boutique.   

Take pictures.

You will be trying on lots and lots of gorgeous bridal gowns, and you will look stunning in many of them. Take photos of your favorites. We love it when brides and their shopping entourage take photos, especially when they find their dream dress and share that picture with us on our social media pages. You are a diva for the day when you come in, so let your paparazzi snap away! 

Have fun!

This is not only a tip for your wedding dress shopping appointment, it's a rule! This is an amazing time in your life, and the more fun you have with it, the better the memories will be. Don't overthink or stress over the decision, enjoy the process. When you slip into the perfect gown, you'll feel it. We'll do our part by spoiling you as much as we possibly can while you are here. All you have to do is take a deep breath, relax, smile, and have a good time. That dream dress is looking for you too.



June is an excellent time to make your wedding dress shopping appointment at Brides of America. We are hosting a very special Mori Lee Bridal 2016 Trunk Show June 3-27, 2016. Give us a call at 305-620-6606 to arrange an appointment, or request an appointment online and we will make it happen.

Champagne & Latte for the Bridesmaids! (Dresses, that is.)

Brides of America carries a large selection of stunning bridesmaid dresses in Miami. You will find a wide variety of styles in a rainbow of gorgeous colors. Today's blog will be focusing on one particular color trend that we have noticed this year. 



Many brides are coming to our South Florida bridal boutique with their bridesmaids in search of neutral colors, leaning toward shades falling between champagne and latte. We could estimate that about 40% of the wedding parties that we assist are wanting this look.

"I personally love it!" says owner David Abadi. "I think champagne is a very romantic color for a wedding, very earthy and classic."




David is not just saying that. Always fashionable and often ahead of everyone else, he and his lovely wife put the bridesmaids in their own wedding in champagne-colored dresses. This was 21 years ago, when no one else was taking advantage of this fabulous look. "To this day," stated David, "people are still talking about how elegant our bridesmaids looked.



Your bridesmaids don't all have to wear the exact same gown. A beautiful look for a wedding party is for everyone to be in the same color, but each girl chooses her own style of dress. Mismatched bridesmaid gowns are very popular, and it's also a wonderful way to make sure that everybody gets to wear a dress that they are comfortable in. 

As soon as you find your own dream dress, begin looking for the bridesmaid dresses. You will need to have them ordered early enough before the wedding day that they will arrive with plenty of time for any necessary alterations to be completed. 


Our Miami wedding dress store exclusively sells the amazing Mori Lee collections of which we are an authorized retailer. These include: 

  • Mori Lee Bridesmaids
  • Angelina Faccenda Bridesmaids
  • Affairs
  • Lace Affairs
  • Tulle Affairs

You can see many of these exquisite bridesmaid dresses at BridesOfAmerica.com. Browse through the collections to get an idea of the dress styles that you like best. When you and your girls come in for their appointment, let us know about your favorites, and we will help you to make the vision you have in mind for your bridal party come to life. 



The gown of your dreams awaits you.

Bridal Gowns with Beautiful Backs

Brides of America, Miami Bridal Boutique, Online Wedding Dress StoreThere once was a time when women came into our Miami wedding dress store only looking for bridal gowns with gorgeous fronts. They paid little attention to the backs of the dresses. Today we are seeing many brides searching for dresses with backs that are intricately detailed and just as attention-getting as the front of the gown. 

Brides of America in Miami receives requests from many brides-to-be for wedding dresses with show-stopping backs. It has become a very popular trend this year. Store owner, David Abadi, says, "Fashion changes every day, but I think this trend will last for a while. Brides still come in looking for full Cinderella dresses, mermaid dresses, and trumpet skirts, but they all want an amazing back to go along with every one of those styles."  


Low Backs

Some brides want to show off a little extra skin, and showing the back is a very safe and alluring way to do this. Bridal gowns with low backs surrounded by exquisite details are very popular in our store. 



Cutout Backs

Another option is to wear a bridal gown that has tastefully placed cutouts adorning the back of the dress. This allows for even more details surrounding the skin you are showing. 



Illusion Backs

Illusion backs are a wonderful way to show off your back, yet still have it slightly covered. Some wedding dresses cover the cutout only in sheer fabric, while others fashionably place elegant, peekaboo lace details within it. 




Straps

Some designers choose to place gorgeous straps over the low backs of their wedding dresses. These add an extra beauty and gorgeous detail to the area. 


Exquisite Details

There are also amazing gowns that offer fabulous backs without showing a lot of skin. The lace, buttons, sequins, and beads are a delight to be seen. 


You will find bridal gowns with gorgeous backs, as well as beautiful fronts, incredible skirts, and the most fabulous details both in our Miami bridal boutique and our online wedding dress store. Both places offer our exquisite Mori Lee collections, which we are an authorized dealer for. 

Brides of America loves helping women find their perfect, dream wedding dress. When you come in for an appointment, you will have our complete and undivided attention throughout. If you choose to order your bridal gown online, you will still have access to our incredible customer service. After your order is placed, you will be contacted by one of our knowledgeable bridal consultants to make sure you are getting exactly what you expect. No matter what you are looking for, we are here to help you find it. Happy shopping!  


The gown of your dreams awaits you.

Ms. Jackie was very patient, understanding and helpful. . I have no regrets choosing this store and i would highly recommend them to anyone. The quality of their stuff is exceptional."
~ Daena

"Brides of America was such a wonderful place. Jackie provided exceptional service. She got to know my style, was very patient with me, very nice and caring, and treated me with such kindness even when I came in a second time to try on my dream dress again. I've never had service like that before. She closes the store and only helps the bride. The attention is so personal and she never pressures you or makes you feel bad. She treated me so special and I'm so thankful!"
