Timing is Everything
During the wedding dress shopping experience one of the most common questions that comes up is, "When should I order my wedding dress?" The short answer is, "When you find one you love!"
Not every bride is so lucky to find her Perfect Gown on her first visit. In fact, there are some brides who struggle with what to purchase. This is, after all, for most brides: an investment of a lifetime. The wedding dress has got to be Perfect!
First of all, as with everything else in life, Timing is Everything. Here's a few tips to help you gear up for your bridal appointment:
1. Get Pretty. That's right. Before you head to your bridal appointment: take a shower, style your hair, and put your make up on. We both know, we feel best when we look our best. You are not going to feel pretty in any dress if you do not feel pretty to begin with. So, get pretty!
2. Put the Good Panties on! Please and thank you. We won't judge, but really, we do not want to see your bare-naked buns! Please wear nice underwear because we will be assisting you in the dressing room. In our full service boutique, we do all the zipping, lacing, and bustling for you.
3. There's No Pressure. If you do not feel like trying wedding dresses on, then don't. Sometimes, we just don't feel like dressing up. And that's okay! We simply ask that you call and reschedule your visit. We want to meet with you on a day you feel like you've put your best foot forward.
4. Have a Vision. Although you may not know what style works best for you, you must have an idea of how your wedding will look and feel. The season, the setting, the decorations, the colors, the flowers...all these items play a part in the wedding dress selection. When you bring us your wedding vision, we will help you select the Perfect Bridal Gown for your Big Day!
Wherever you go, however many wedding dresses you try on, you must be in love with your gown. That's the "AHHH" feeling! That epiphany "this is the one" that people talk about. When you find a wedding dress you love, act on it. Sure, there's always going to be more dresses. They make dresses everyday. But, for you - when you fall IN LOVE with your wedding dress - don't chance it. It could be gone next week. If you LOVE it, then get it.
We know how to put you in a bridal gown you're going to LOVE! Contact Brooklyn Bridal & Prom for your personal bridal appointment. Call 517.592.8882 or Schedule Online Today!

Who Gives Wedding Toasts?
 |
| Personalized Toasting Flutes |
Best Man
At some weddings, he's the only one to give a little speech
honoring the bride and groom. Often, his toast will veer toward the side
of roast, as he pokes a little fun at his best friend.
Maid of Honor
Like the best man, the maid of honor can be called upon to
deliver a short speech to honor the newlyweds. In some instances, this
speech may be given at the rehearsal dinner instead.
Father of the Bride
Often, if there's more than one toast, the father of the
bride (as the traditional host of the event) may welcome guests to the
wedding, welcome the groom into his family, and talk about his love for
his daughter.
Bride and/or Groom
The bride and groom may decide to raise a glass to their
guests and to each other. If one member of the couple does decide to
give a toast, the other should speak as well.
Personalized Glassware and Stemware can be found at Brooklyn Bridal & Prom. Mention this BLOG post and receive an instant 15% off your entire wedding accessory order!
No More Sinking Heels!
Perfect for outdoor weddings and summer parties!The SoleMates High Heeler attaches easily to most high heeled shoes, increasing the surface area on the base of the heel and creating stability so you can wear your heels for the perfect outdoor wedding!

5 Reasons Not to Shop Online for Wedding Dresses
Online shoppers BEWARE! Here's what we have learned about online bridal stores:
A lot of online bridal stores use original designer wedding gown photos and reduce the price dramatically in hopes of persuading online shoppers
that they’re getting a huge deal on designer dresses. Here is the REAL DEAL: Designers DO NOT support online bridal stores or their policies (unless the online bridal store has a physical
bridal boutique as well). This is because most of the online bridal stores are selling replica designer gowns - FAKES.
Top 5 Reasons NOT to shop online for a wedding dress:
Top 5 Reasons NOT to shop online for a wedding dress:
Problem #1. Online stores are using the designers’ original photos to promote their products and mislead the online shopper. You do not get what you see - and there are no laws to protect the consumer.
Problem #2. The online dress bead work is unattractive, the fabric is not the same, the pattern is poorly constructed, and the label is a fake. The quality is simply inferior to the designer's original. (Not to mention how upsetting pirating is to an accomplished designer!)
Problem #3. The online dress you had "made to order" does not fit. The size chart recommendation is not accurate.
Problem #4. The online dress will cost you more
in alterations. Most professional seamstresses will not alter poorly
made online designer replicas. Now you're forced to use someone who's
not an expert and it will cost you more in the long run.
Problem #5. Even if you are satisfied with your "knock-off" gown, you will still need to have it cared for upon it's arrival. It will need to be steamed, pressed, or ironed. This also can cost you more money.
If those reasons don't dissuade you from supporting online piracy and gross replicas, then maybe this video clip will.
