Finding your dream gown is finding your story! What better way is there to communicate your story than by having a wedding theme!

Are you a bride that has an idea of the story that you want to reveal but no solid direction? Experts say that before you try on gowns, you need to first ask yourself which story you’re trying to tell. If you need some guidance in finding your story, we’ve listed some of our favorite wedding themes, with gown recommendations, that you may identify with!

“A Fairytale Beginning”– Your love story may be one of great triumph, rescue and enchantment! If you’re a bride that wants to have a grand wedding, in which all eyes are on you, our consultants suggest a princess Ballgown silhouette! A Ballgown with sparkle will draw attention to your charming style and will fit in perfectly with your prince charming/groom-to-be, establishing your happily ever after!

“Passport to Happiness”– For the couple that likes to travel, this theme will hit close to home (wherever that may be)! Suitcases, faux passports, maps with places that the couple has visited… these are all things that can be found at your celebration! Why not get the best of both worlds with a Fit & Flare gown! This silhouette draws in on the waist, showcasing your shape, and drops to a dramatic, fuller bottom, giving you the jaw-dropping effect appreciated around the world!

“Vintage Love”– Are you a bride that appreciates cowboy boots, barns and lace? Showcase your timeless love for one another in a Slim A-line full lace gown from one of our designers! The flicker of candle light in the mason jars that you’ve adorned in burlap will enhance the sparkle on your gown (or veil) and the gleam in your country boy’s eye!

“A Cinematic Encounter”– If you and your groom are masters of movie trivia or appreciate the appeal of Old Hollywood, then this theme is for you! Strut down your red carpet enhanced aisle in a sleek satin Mermaid with rhinestone embellishments or a dramatic Fit & Flare! You’ll sparkle in your photobooth, even if you’re yielding a faux mustache, creating a moment as memorable as your favorite Nicholas Sparks film.

“Destination: Romance”– An empire-waist flowy, chiffon A-line is the perfect dress for a beach ceremony! You and your groom-to-be can escape to an exotic beach-front exchange of vows that captures the simplicity of your theme: love. Pair your timeless gown with fun foot jewelry or a floral adorned wedge and you will look just as alluring as your story!

“It’s a Wedding!”– You may be the type of bride that just has one idea in mind: marriage. You’ve found your true love and you just can’t wait to be his bride. It’s okay to not have a theme when your theme is the most important thing of all: true love!
