Something BLUE for the wedding.



Tradition tells us that all brides should wear something blue at their wedding as a symbol of love, modesty, and fidelity. However, injecting a bit of blue into your wedding attire with a bit of panache has become a real artform! Depending on her style, brides are using blue in large and small ways. A large blue sash around the dress certainly makes it's presence known! Our seamstresses would be glad to help you with that and can even embroider it if you'd like it more personal. If it's something more subtle that you're looking for, we have a large selection of accessories in blue such as hairpins, an embroidered hankercheif, or a hidden garter. Want to follow in Carrie's footsteps in Sex in the City: The Movie with some blue shoes? We can even help you there with our extensive collection of dyeable shoes and onsite custom dyeing.





June is Blue Month at Bridal Elegance!




During the month of June, all bridal gown purchases will receive a certificate for a free bottle of OPI blue nail polish available with any hair or nail service at Sorella Hair Design. PLUS, when brides purchase any pair of Benjamin Walk shoes from stock not only will she receive 40% off, but will be able to select from our three favorite shades of blue and have the shoes dyed FREE!

Congratulations Shauntrice and Baron Smith!





"The staff of Bridal Elegance went above and beyond to make sure that my wedding dress was exactly what I wanted to make my wedding day special. A special thanks to my seamstress - her special skills made my dress look even more outstanding. It takes a skilled hand to put all of those brown crystals on my dress in just the right places. I can not leave out Kristin and Pam who wiped my tears and comforted me in my time of dress distress. Thank you guys, for everything!"

Thank you so much, Shauntrice, for your kind words. You look amazing, and are proof that even if there are bumps in the road, all's well that ends well. We're so glad that you loved your gown--it truly was a "one-of-a-kind" by the time we finished, and paled only to your lovely personality.
