The event takes place from 7-11 pm and includes a romantic meal for two, wine, and live jazz music.

Destination Wedding Dresses in at POSH Bridal Couture

Destination weddings are more popular now than ever; according to Conde' Nast Bridal Group, 16% of weddings are destination weddings. Whether your wedding is in the Bahamas or Italy (and everywhere in between) we now have the most beautiful gowns that are travel friendly and beach-worthy. We have had many brides come in looking for destination style dresses that are easy to travel with, so we listened to our brides and just got in new styles of destination dresses. Our new line of dresses we are carrying feature sheath styles and shorter trains to make it easier for shoreside weddings on the beach.

POSH Bridal Couture's Wedding dress tips for Destination Weddings:

1. Choosing the dress- Pick a fabric that will travel well; we suggest lace or chiffon that is light and airy enough to transport and will provide the most comfort in any climate, especially a hot one. Consider your venue too when choosing a destination wedding gown; if it is a beach wedding you will most likely want something casual, whereas if you are getting married in a church in Europe you may want to opt for something more traditional.

2. Accessorize- Choose your accessories wisely with your bridal consultant. You may want to forego the veil and choose a flower headpiece/headband for a beach wedding. Your shoes are also extremely important to think about when planning your destination wedding; know the terrain you will be walking on when you are walking down the "aisle" if it is grass or sand, you may wand to reconsider a 6 inch heel.

3. Travel- Travel with your dress to ensure there is absolutely no possibility with lost luggage or customs that you will be without it. You can leave it in the garment bag and request to have it kept in a closet in first class; this will help to minimize the wrinkling of the dress.

4. Prepping the dress before the wedding- Prior to arriving at your hotel, contact a cleaner/the hotel to make sure you can have your dress steamed and picture perfect for the day of the wedding; No matter what precautions you took, the dress will still get wrinkled while traveling.

~Simone Carvalli Trunk Show was a Blast~

The Simone Carvalli Trunk Show was a huge success and we all had so much fun, and found so many brides their dresses. Here are some photos (courtesy of Simone Carvalli) of a few of the dresses that we had in the store this weekend; we will be so sad to pack them up tomorrow and send them off to New York to hit the runways...

We all had so much fun with Heidi, who flew in from Boston to help with the trunk show. Thanks to everyone who could make it this weekend and thanks to Sugar Momma's Cupcakes for providing us with delicious treats all weekend long... so delicious
