BUY THE DANG DRESS!

by Jon M. Oliver for Emmy’s Bridal / January 26, 2023

Having been in the formalwear business for a very long time, and having worked with thousands of clients over the years, there are a few truths that I know when it comes to choosing your perfect prom dress.

Wedding Dress Style down the aisle 2022-23

August 17, 2022

Clean, simple lines started showing up on the runway a few seasons ago and are now available in every silhouette from sleek and slim to A-line to unembellished ball gowns. These gowns can be the perfect option for the trend toward smaller, simpler weddings or treated as a blank canvas onto which a bride can layer multiple accessories, truly creating a one of a kind look.

Sheer elements are very popular and show up in a variety of ways. Sheer side panels or entirely sheer bodices, sheer backs and unlined trains all highlight lace, appliques and beading, showing them off to their best advantage. Bridal Gown trains especially take on an added element of beauty when the lace or layers of lace and sheer can be seen without a backing.
