By Liz Cascio, David’s Bridal Social Occasion Dress Buyer

Now that you’ve decided on a gown and your bridal party dresses, it’s time to get Mom outfitted. Here are some helpful tips to finding a flattering ensemble that will make her look and feel special.

Moms come in all shapes and sizes, with a variety of fashion senses too. That’s why David’s Bridal offers a wide range of options from classic to fashion forward, short to long, and simple one-piece dresses to gorgeous two-piece jacket ensembles. Our Mothers & Special Guest Collection is designed to complement our bridal party and gown assortment so your wedding photos will look fabulous. The stylish designs are also created with comfort in mind, perfect for destination weddings or dancing the night away.

Venues or even the season of your wedding can dictate the type of dress your Mom wears. For an outdoor or summer wedding, a short dress is appropriate. This sleeveless dress with bead detail is very flattering on a variety of figures.
Or she might opt for a little more coverage like this silver jacquard short jacket and dress.
For more formal weddings, your Mom might consider a longer dress. This modern style is a definite show stopper with its cap sleeve bolero and embellishment details.

No matter what dress your Mother selects, she is sure to feel very special standing next to you on your big day. And don’t forget it’s a special day for your groom’s Mom too. A fun and easy way to bond with your future Mother-in-law is to invite her dress shopping! Good luck and happy shopping.

Elegant Emmys: Get Celebrity Looks Without the Designer Price Tag

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

By Molly Stiles, David’s Bridal Social Occasion Dress Merchandiser (DMM)

All eyes were on Hollywood’s favorite starlets as they walked the red carpet at the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards. Even though they all couldn’t take home a prized statuette, many picked up nods for their award-winning fashion statements. If you want to make an unforgettable entrance at any event, we can help you achieve that chic, celebrity look for less. You’ll be surprised just how easy and affordable it is to find a style with all the glamour of the red carpet!

Dazzling Necklines

Take a cue from Christina Applegate, January Jones and Leighton Meister and opt for a dress with an interesting neckline. With so many new shapes and updated classics, it’s easier than ever to select a style that is figure-flattering and complements your personality. Choose from traditional sweetheart or off-the-shoulder looks, or look-at-me styles ranging from elegantly embellished Y-necks to plunging V-necks. David’s Bridal special occasion collection offers a variety of fashion-forward designs that will get you noticed.

Lady in Red

Blake Lively and Hayden Panettiere turned heads in their ravishing red gowns. This bold jewel tone works well for almost all skin types and is a great go-to color when you want a change from a little black dress. With an amazing array of crimson-hued gowns from short and playful to long and sleek, our elegant collection ensures you will look picture-perfect in the silhouette that suits you best.

Wowing One-Shoulders

Looking to stand out in style? Debra Messing, Mary Louise Parker and Chloe Sevigny did just that in striking one shoulder dresses. Channel your inner Greek goddess and show off your fashion savvy in a sophisticated long or short one shoulder stunner. Our eye-catching designs will help you reveal your true Hollywood glamour without blowing your budget.

When it comes to shopping for that next special occasion, get ready to unleash your inner-celebrity and make the “best dressed” list with our on-trend looks!

Modern Expressions for Every Occasion

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

When planning your wedding, you’ll likely hear differing opinions about your choice of bridesmaid dresses. It seems as though everybody - attendants, friends, relatives and acquaintances - has an idea about the color and style you should choose. There’s bright or light, strapless or sleeveless, tea-length or floor length, and the list goes on and on. Making it even more difficult is the fact that most bridal parties have a variety of shapes, sizes, and complexions. The best way to choose bridesmaid gowns that will make everybody happy is to find styles that flatter each individual. Your bridesmaids will not only look great but will want to wear their dress again and again, adding to the value (trust us, nobody wants to pay a lot of money for something they don’t get to choose and only get to wear once).

Today’s weddings incorporate fashionable colors and styles in designer-inspired dresses that are versatile enough to wear for any special occasion – holiday dinner, engagement party, cocktail reception, bridal shower, evening cruise, and more.

With chic, affordable and wear-again bridal dresses, everyone in your party is sure to be satisfied. If your bridesmaids come in all shapes and sizes (as most do), you may want to consider choosing one color and length (knee-length, for example) and then allowing each bridesmaid to select a specific dress style to flatter her unique figure. David’s Bridal Modern Expressions Collection has trendy and classic styles ranging from $100 - $135 in sizes 2-26. These dresses are perfect for bridesmaids, wedding-related events, and life’s special occasions!
