Every time a beautiful bride comes into our store, we ask each and everyone of them what they are looking for in their wedding dress so we can give her exactly what she wants, or even something that may surprise her. We even ask our brides what they do not want, and the number one response our stylists hear is “NO BALLGOWNS”. We tend to think ballgowns are too heavy, unflattering, and are too much to walk around in all night long, but we disagree and want to help you say yes to a ballgown wedding dress!
Ballgowns are very flattering to those brides who want to put more focus to their waists. Your waist will look so snatched when it contrasts with a beautiful, voluminous skirt. Ballgowns are also very special and magical. When else do you get to wear a dress like that? Every time we get our brides to try on a ballgown for fun, they always get the biggest smiles on their faces. Those big poofy skirts may not seem like something you want, but here are three ballgowns at our Whittier location that we think might change your mind.
This ballgown for our curvy brides has it going on in all the right places. The lace pattern is both intricate and also simple and smooth, so it blends in perfectly and keeps the focus on the bride’s face. It also has a deep plunging neckline that certainly shows off enough skin to keep it sweet and sexy at the same time! How could our brides not be feeling themselves in a dress that shows off the cleavage and the curves at the waist?
If you want to be the center of attention on your wedding day (which you should be!), this glitter ballgown is for you. The bodice is supportive and structured, so you’ll feel comfortable all night carrying around this eye-catching skirt that is covered head-to-toe in glitter. Don’t worry, it does have an extra layer of soft tulle on top so you can see all of the sparkles, but it will feel perfect on your hands. You’ll never get another chance to wear something like this ever again, so why not take advantage of this special ballgown and make it part of your special day!
Ballgowns don’t always have to be flashy and heavy. For our more classic and timeless brides, this ballgown is lightweight and easy to move around in with only two layers of flowy fabric to create that extravagant look without the stress of it being heavy. This textured fabric, called taffeta, has plenty of personality to it so it’s not too plain either. Of course, we can’t forget the best part about having a ballgown… THE POCKETS!!
