Outdoor weddings are beautiful and everyone loves attending them, especially when you get married on the beach! Of course, when you plan an outdoor wedding, there are a few things you need to take into consideration and plan for that you otherwise wouldn't have to if you were having an indoor wedding. If you are considering having an outdoor wedding, our bridal boutique in Royal Palm Beach has a few tips to consider. Keep Guests Cool Spring weddings may not get too terribly hot, but summer ones can. Make sure there is a shady spot nearby so that everyone can get out of the sun if necessary. Renting a few high-powered outdoor fans can be a great comfort, but make sure you get the quiet ones. Keep lots of water close for everyone to refresh with. You can provide big iced tubs of personalized water bottles or a few water containers filled with fruit-infused waters. Provide Outdoor Comforts Little gestures will make a big impact. Having sunscreen and even bug spray handy for...

Bridal Couture of the Palm Beaches is back with a Part Two of our travel back in time. Last week, we rediscovered the bridal fashions of years past and found trends that have carried on through today. Your favorite Florida bridal salon is always on top of the latest trends, but today we’re taking it back to revisit the fifties fashion and beyond. 1950s American actresses Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly set the tone for wedding gowns in this decade. Sweetheart necklines made their debut, and ballerina-length dresses became more and more popular. Full, tiered skirts and fitted, cinched bodices gave an illusion to the women’s bodies. This was the first time that strapless gowns made their appearance, although coordinating bolero jackets were often worn for the actual ceremony. 1960s The 1910s empire waistline resurged in the ‘60s. Pillbox hats were also worn with short, voluminous veils spilling over. Necklines remained high and modest, often incorporating a cap sleeve....

Wedding dresses haven’t always looked like they do today. Over the past 100 years, brides have transitioned between many different styles in terms of length, sleeves, and even color. Bridal Couture of the Palm Beaches is always right on top of the trends, but we also have several different styles for our brides to choose from. Take a trip back in time with your favorite Florida bridal salon to remember and appreciate the different styles and aesthetics of years gone by. 1900s Queen Victoria set the trend for affluent brides to wear white, while other brides kept to the usual colors of the time such as pale pink and mauve. Gowns in the early 1900s had wide, puffy sleeves and high, collared necklines. Beneath the gown was an S-shaped corset to slim the stomach and accentuate the bust. Long trains and long gloves were common as well. Brides often wore veiled hats to top off the look. 1910s Dancing grew in popularity during this decade, brides’ wedding gowns became more...

Often times when we think about Bachelorette Parties, we envision a crazy night in Vegas. However, you can't go wrong with a quiet girls getaway to the beach either. With so many options on where to spend some time with your girls before the big day, how do you choose? Whether you're the bride or the maid of honor planning the party, today's blog from your favorite bridal gown store in West Palm Beach has some tips to help: 1. Start with a Budget. Not only should the bachelorette party be a great night for the bride, everyone should be able to enjoy themselves without worrying about the expense. Take into consideration who all would be attending the party and what their financial situations look like. You don't want one of the bride's best friends to count herself out on account of the price. Come up with a reasonable budget and run it by everyone before you get to involved with the rest of the planning. 2. Consider the Different Personalities. While so...
