{New Designer Announcement} Casablanca Bridal

We are super excited to announce the addition of Casablanca Bridal to the designers available at Bliss!

Casablanca Bridal was established in 1997 and has since become one of the fastest growing, well known manufacturers of bridal gowns in the bridal industry.

Casablanca is committed to designing bridal gowns that reflect the quality and attention to detail they are known for.  Every Casablanca gown is made to order one at a time and although that extends the order time for each gown, it also allows for unparalleled customizaion.

As with most bridal designers, Casablanca discourages the sale of thier gowns over the Internet as most are counterfeit or sub par quality. In support for small business in America, they recommend that you visit and place your order with a full service bridal salon that can provide you with the personal service and attention that each bride deserves.

View the latest collections on their website and keep an eye on our Facebook page in September for the arrivals of these stunning gowns!

{Tips, Tricks, & Advice} The "Cardinal Rules" of Wedding Gown Shopping

Since, wedding gown shopping is in full swing and the busy season is upon us, we thought we'd repost one of the most important pieces of advice for shopping for your wedding gown from "Say Yes to the Dress's", Randy Fenoli!  Here ya go, ladies, listen up!

On a recent episode of Say Yes to the Dress on TLC, Kleinfeld Fashion Director Randy Fenoli offered “The Cardinal Rules of Wedding Dress Shopping.” As simple as these rules may sound, following them can help any bride find her perfect wedding dress with out all the stress.

1) “Don’t try on a dress that is outside of your budget”
A bride will inevitably fall in love with one she cannot afford and will be very disappointed when she can't have it.

2) “Don’t keep secrets from the bridal consultant”
If the bride has already seen something somewhere else that she likes, she should let the store consultant know so she can work with her.

3) “Leave the entourage at home”
It’s ok to bring a friend or family member but the more people a bride brings, the more opinions she will hear and the more confused she might be.

4) “Once you find a dress, stop shopping”
Some brides keep shopping because they are afraid they will miss their “perfect dress.” According to Kleinfeld’s, 90% of the brides who keep shopping actually stick to their original choice.

5) “Don’t get your heart set on a dress you saw in a magazine”
The bride should keep an open mind and try on a few dresses. The one she saw in a magazine might not suit her when she tries it on.

and finally.........

6) “Always wear underwear (when trying on wedding dresses)”
