Highligt Gown Thursday

Hi to all the BWC brides and brides to be out there!! Welcome to another installment of "Highlight Gown Thursday."

This week we are showcasing a new debut from Mori Lee, style 4523. This gown is stunningly unique and modern, with its one-shoulder neckline. The flower embellishments on the strap are removable. The modern theme continues on the bodice, which is a subtle wrapped asymmetrical dropped waist. The fabric for this gown is made a super soft luxe taffeta, one of today’s trendiest fabrics. The simplicity of this gown may be appealing to brides who do not prefer a lot of BLING. Add some of our fabulous jewelry, French net veiling and walk down the aisle at the height of fashion.

If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment please call (608-637-8131) or e-mail bonniesstaff@gmail.com. Remember Bonnie’s makes beautiful brides.

Somethings...

Hello and welcome to another installment of the BWC blog. Every bride has heard the saying "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" but what is a bride to do to fulfill all these categories? Never fear the staff at BWC has come up with some ideas for all the "somethings".

Something New- Your new gown. Your wedding day lingerie. A new piece of jewelry from your fiancé’ that matches your crown or bridal jewelry.

Something Old- Your grandmothers brooch- you can pin it to your gown or attach it to the ribbon on your bouquet. Your future mother-in-law’s family heirloom earrings. Your baptismal hankie or bonnet made into a hankie.

Something blue- Blue Hydrangea flowers, blue sapphire earrings, or a blue pedicure. BWC has a blue crystal ankle bracelet.

Something Borrowed- Carry your mother’s or aunt’s white silk purse. In your bouquet you can carry the same flowers as your mom or grandmother did. Borrow another brides’ crinoline or headpiece/veil.

Please feel free to call (608-637-8131) or e-mail (bonniesstaff@gmail.com) if you have any question or are in need of more ideas for your "somethings". Remember that Bonnie’s makes beautiful brides.

Highlight Gown Thursday

Welcome to another installment of Highlight Gown Thursday. This week we are shining the spotlight on Ireland by Maggie Sottero. She is the ultimate Grecian Goddess dress. She is breath-taking. She has a modified sweetheart neckline. Her bodice consists of ethereal ruched chiffon. This chiffon is extra soft and dream-like. The main focal point of the gown is the empire waistline. The empire waist is adorned with intricate beaded embellishments that wrap around the gown to form a belt. Pictures do not do the beading justice at all. Her slim skirt is gently pleated chiffon. She is stunning- and would be perfect for an outdoor or destination wedding.

As always we here at BWC look forward to helping you turn your perfect day vision into a beautiful reality. Please call(608-637-8131) or e-mail(bonniesstaff@gmail.com) if we can be of any help.

Extra- Extra!!!

Welcome to another installment of the BWC blog. We have big news to report. We have welcomed Milroy’s tuxedos into the BWC family. They are a family owned tuxedo company located in Waterloo Iowa. The thing that separates Milroy’s from our other tux companies- is their vest/ties colors. They have, by far, the largest selection of varied styles and amazing colors and patterns- they even have a zebra stripe! They also have an extremely large selection of uniquely styled black and not black tuxedos. Their Brown Fubu would be stunning for fall weddings. Do not forget to check out the Milroy’s web-site at www.milroystuxedos.com.

Top Questions From Brides

Hello BWC brides! Welcome to another installment of the BWC blog. At Bonnie's, we receive a lot of questions. We have compiled a list of the top questions asked by brides. Here is a sample.

Q: When should I order my gown or my bridesmaids’ dresses?
A: While every one of designers has a slightly different production times- the general rule of thumb for wedding gowns is preferably around 10 months to a year before your wedding - to allow ample time for production/shipping and alterations. For the bridesmaids dresses- the general rule of thumb is to have the bridesmaid dresses ordered at least six months before the wedding. We here at BWC can try to rush your orders (keep in mind that having to rush an order will also mean a rush fee) if your wedding planning timeline is shorter.

Q: What are bustles- and will I need them?
A: A bustle is term used in sewing- it basically means a system of loops and buttons or ties that raise your train off the floor during the reception. You will need them if your gown has a train. There are three main types of bustles that BWC recommends (Traditional, French and "the Mel"). During your fittings your seamstress will work with you to determine which type of bustle works best for your body type and your gown.

Please feel free to call (608-637-8131) or e-mail (bonniesstaff@gmail.com) if you have any questions or to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you turn your perfect day vision into a beautiful reality. Bonnie’s makes beautiful brides.
