Today we will give you a peek at our remaining Venus Bridal gown collections designed especially for brides.

This particular collection of wedding dresses are also designed with the "budget concious" bride in mind. These bridal gowns are very affordable without sacrificing an ounce of style. 






Temple Bridal
Some women prefer a more modest approach to their wedding day fashion. These classic designs lean toward a conservative look and feel, offering a bit more coverage than some of our other collections. You can have a demure bridal gown with every bit of style and beauty that a bride deserves to show off on her wedding day. Each wedding dress in our Temple Bridal collection elegantly combines a bit of modern day style with a traditional bridal gown look.







Venus Bridal gowns embody timeless beauty, romance, and glamour. There are a wide variety of ways to exhibit these traits, each as individual as the woman that will be wearing the dress. The various bridal gown collections that we offer are designed to help you express exactly how you feel about your wedding day and the lifetime of love you are about to enter into.

The Beautiful Bridal Collections of Venus Bridal (Part 1)

Venus Bridal... what does that bring to mind for you? We feel the name evokes images of timeless beauty, the feeling of romance, and the essence of glamour! The name of our wedding dress design company contains two words that immediately bring to the imagine elegant images, thoughts, and feelings. 

Venus - the mythological goddess of love, beauty, and desire. 

Bridal - all things pertaining to beautiful brides and fabulous wedding celebrations of love and romance. 

We pride ourselves on hiring the most creative bridal gown designers to create a vast array of styles, using only the finest of fabrics and most intricate of details. Venus Bridal offers six different collections that each embody a distinct individuality, allowing us to cater to every possible type of bride's personal style. Today we are highlighting the first three of these gorgeous wedding dress collections, and next week's blog will feature the remaining three.   

Venus Collection
Our signature bridal gown collection contains dresses that are made from the most luxurious, refined fabrics. Many of these gowns feature delicate, hand-appliqued lace and intricate beading. The styles in this particular collection are often described as regal, elegant, romantic, and timeless.   








Venus Woman
Brides come in every imaginable shape, size, and body type. Venus Bridal strives to make wedding dresses that fit a variety of different women so that they can each look and feel like the beauty they are on their wedding day. Our Venus Woman Collection celebrates the curvaceous and full-figured bride. These timelessly classic styles are designed to accentuate your best features. Rich, elegant fabrics with striking embellishments come together to make wedding dresses that are quite simply stunning.   






Venus Informal
Another of our fabulous wedding dress collections bearing the Venus name in its title is this one. These are for the brides that want their wedding day fashion to be a little more laid back. You will find designs with a more casual feeling, while still embodying all of the beauty, glamour, and elegance that each of our bridal gowns exude. Many of these are perfect for an outdoor wedding, like on a beach, or excellent for a reception gown change. From long and luxurious to short and flirty, our Venus Informal Collection is intimate, spontaneous, and ready to walk down the aisle when you are! 







Venus Collection, VenusWoman, and Venus Informal are just the beginning of the exquisite designs that our company has to offer. You can see more images on the Venus Bridal website.

How To Choose The Most Magnificent Colors For Your Wedding

Color plays a very big part in the look and feel of your wedding. Lots of color displayed everywhere can really make your beautiful white wedding dress stand out. A more neutral palette with touches of color here and there can also be gorgeous with a wonderful flow. 

Your color choice will be evident in many different aspects of the wedding: bridesmaid dresses, stationary, florals, table decorations, favors, groomsmen accessories, and possibly even the wedding cake. Some brides even like to pull the wedding color into their own fashion with the accessories like a sash or jewelry. There is an infinite number of choices to pick from, so today Venus Bridal has a few tips to help you narrow them down.


Stick with what you love
If you have had a favorite color your entire life, so much so that your friends immediately think of you when that color is mentioned, then that one is the obvious choice. A wedding celebrates love, and surrounding yourself with things that you love only makes sense. Then your only decision will be which shades to use, and if you will add in a few complementary colors.

For those of you that don't think you have a favorite color, take inspiration from the things you have around you regularly. Open your closet and take notice of what colors pop up the most, or look around your home and see if one particular color keeps catching your eye. If you love the beach, go for ocean blues and sandy browns, or if you prefer the country, lean towards earthy tones like that of the trees and flowers found there.  

Convey a feeling
The use of color is an excellent way to set the mood for your special day. Light, airy pastels seem romantic and sweet, while bolder, bright shades give off a livelier vibe. Red can make you think passion, yellow - warmth and happiness, and blues are often serene. Don't feel like you have to stick with one feeling throughout the day. Use romantic shades of a color during the ceremony, then take that same color and jazz it up with darker shades to add excitement to the reception.




Take cues from the venue
Some wedding venues are like big, blank slates before you begin decorating, but there are quite a few that already have a main color scheme in place. If it's a color that you like the look of, that will work perfectly. If it's a color you can't stand, you may want to consider looking for a different venue. Initially, you will want your decorations to blend well with the decor that is already set in the room. For weddings taking place outdoors, let the nature around you inspire the colors that you choose.

Borrow from the season
Even if your wedding will not be an outdoor one, nature can still be a wonderful inspiration for the colors that you choose. Warm colors in the fall, bright whites and metallic shades in the winter, delicate pastels in spring, and bright, sunny hues in the summer. Holidays are wonderful places to turn to influence your decision too. Reds and greens around Christmas, or even deep purples and blues. New Year's Eve weddings may be done in a formal way with blacks, silvers, and golds. Valentine's Day could have romantic pinks or bold, sexy reds.    

At the end of the day, you really don't need to overthink it. Keep your eyes open for colors that draw your attention when you are out and about during the day. Once you take notice of that, your color scheme will begin to emerge. This wedding is for both the bride and the groom, so work together to find the colors that you both want to incorporate into this special day. 

Once the decision is made, you'll be ready when the bridesmaid dress shopping begins. Venus Bridal has a large selection of colors, fabrics, and styles to choose from. Many of the color choices that we offer work beautifully together if you want to incorporate the mismatched bridesmaid look. Our dress color charts may even help to inspire your final color choice. It's definitely worth a look!

Holiday Weddings - Yay or Nay?

Labor Day Weekend has brought up a subject at Venus Bridal that people seem to have varying opinions on - holiday weddings. There are many pros and cons to planning your ceremony and reception during a holiday weekend. 

On one hand, a holiday with a 3-day weekend allows you extra time to celebrate, plus most venues already have some decor of their own up. On the other hand, a lot of people look at holidays as family time, and working someone else's wedding into those plans may not be their idea of fun. We've come up with a few tips for any brides and grooms that may want to host a holiday wedding that will help everyone to enjoy themselves.  

Definitely Send Save-The-Dates
Most people make special plans when a holiday rolls around. If you want them to make your wedding a part of those plans, you will need to give them plenty of advance notice. These may require a little more information than simply the date. Hotels, airlines, and car rental businesses get busier during holidays, so you will want to let your guests know where the wedding will take place so that they can make arrangements to get there. 



Block Hotel Rooms Early
As we mentioned, hotels get busy during holidays and many tend to sell out of rooms. Make sure that you have enough rooms set aside for your guests early on so that they don't risk not having a place to stay. Hopefully, if you are booking enough rooms, you can work out a discount on them, because hotel rates generally go up during holidays. 

Incorporate Holiday Traditions
A complaint from guests is that they have to miss out on their holiday traditions if they have to go to a wedding. One way to keep them happy is to somehow work those traditions into your wedding. If you get married on the 4th of July, plan to have a big fireworks display during the reception. If your wedding is on Thanksgiving weekend, incorporate turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and the like into your menu. Don't go overboard, because the main focus should be the wedding, but try to bring in that holiday feel in a tasteful and fun way.


Expect That Some Won't Be Able To Come 
Prepare yourself for quite a few "no" RSVPs if you will get married around a big holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving. These are generally spent with family, and while your own family may be able to make the adjustment, some of your friends may not be able to be away from their own families.


Things To Keep In Mind
Travel expenses will most likely cost more for your guests over holidays, making it harder for some to attend. If you will be getting married in a busy area, there is a good chance that there will be lots of traffic and more people than usual in town. Your own budget may see the strain too. Venues often charge a bit more to use a reception room on New Year's Eve, and flower prices tend to go up around Valentine's Day. 

Do What Makes You Happy
If there is a holiday that is special to you as a couple, then that may be the best date for the two of you to choose. On the other hand, picking a day with no particular meaning to anyone else makes your wedding anniversary a holiday all its own. 

As with most wedding decisions, if it makes you happy, then go ahead and do it. It's your special day. Venus Bridal realizes the importance of this day, and we do our best to help make it extra special through the exquisite bridal gowns that we offer. No matter what your style, personality, wedding date or venue, you will find something perfectly made just for you within our fabulous wedding dress collections

Fabulous Fall Wedding Inspiration

Autumn is just around the corner, and fall has become a very popular wedding season in many parts of the country. The rich colors, vibrant aromas, and savory flavors of the season are all wonderful fall wedding inspiration. If you are getting married this fall, you still have time to incorporate a few of these ideas. If you are newly engaged, then maybe some of these ideas will get your creative juices flowing for next year.  

Fashion

Venus Bridal is all about timeless wedding dresses, glamorous bridesmaid gowns and stylish special occasion dresses. No matter what season we are talking about, our minds turn to fashion first. 

Autumn can be unpredictable temperature-wise in most places. It's a good idea to choose dresses that will be comfortable in warm weather, but also have a plan in case it gets chilly. Statement furs showed up on fall fashion runways this year. Wearing one could be a great way to both stay warm and add a fun pop of color to your wedding day look. 


Metallics have been popular this year in wedding decor and fashion. Bridesmaid dresses can be your shimmery way to incorporate this trend, or you can choose to add it through jewelry. Rose gold and yellow gold are perfect to convey a warm fall feel. Another popular item on the runway this year was big, chunky chokers. Whether you can get away with this all depends on the bridal gown you have chosen to wear.     


Colors

Fall brings to mind all of the colors of turning leaves, pumpkins, and apples. Many people this year are leaning toward a romantic Victorian look to their bridal clothing. A nice way to switch things up a little bit is to throw a few muted pastel colors in with the darker tones of the season. 



Flowers

Flowers and plants in natural colors rather than bright blooms work well for a fall wedding. Think about the beautiful coloring and elements that occur in nature that you would see visiting a pumpkin patch. Deep oranges, rich reds, golden yellows, and silky browns and tans. Plants such as succulents are beautiful table decor, and they can even be used for boutonnieres. A few flowers that you will find in season, which means the prices won't be outrageous, are: 

  • Dahlia
  • Gerbera Daisy
  • Alstroemeria
  • Calla Lily
  • Chrysanthemum
  • Sunflower


Once you've settled on a wedding date, make finding your wedding dress one of the first tasks on your list. Finding it early will allow you to get exactly what you want, and your bridal gown can be a big influence on the look of your entire ceremony and reception. Venus Bridal offers an incredible selection of gorgeous dresses for every season of the year. No matter when you decide to say "I do," - Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer - we've got the perfect dresses for you and your wedding party.

5 Tips for Finding the Most Fantastic Flower Girl Dresses

Venus Bridal not only has the most beautiful special occasion gowns for every woman in your wedding, but also fantastic dresses for the tiniest little lady in your bridal party too. The adorable flower girl dresses that we offer are sure to have everyone at your wedding sighing "Awwwwwww!"

Little Maiden by Venus Bridal is a line of sweet and whimsical children's gowns that any little girl would be thrilled to wear. There are a few factors to consider when you are deciding on the type of flower girl dress to use at your wedding. The following tips will be very helpful in picking out the perfect one that you and your flower girl will both love. 


Comfort

Children, in general, are not famous for their patience. If your flower girl has to wear a dress that she is not comfortable in, it won't be too far into the wedding when you hear all about it, and so will your guests! Make sure that the flower girl dress that you put her in is something she will want to wear all night long. 

The material should be soft, not scratchy at all. Also, pay close attention to the length. The age and maturity of the child will make a difference in the length of gown she is able to maneuver easily. 

Season

The time of year and temperatures expected should play a big part in the flower girl dress decision, especially if any of the wedding will be outdoors. If the gown is too hot in the summer, your flower girl probably won't have it on very long. 

A jacket can be worn in cooler months, but unless you have something to match the dress, a regular coat will hide that gorgeous gown you have picked out. Match the fashion to the expected weather. 


Color

Some brides choose to put their flower girls in all white, while many use this piece of fashion to add a pop of the wedding color to the ceremony. Flower girl dresses are available with a colored skirt overlay on a white gown, a sweet colored sash to accent the dress, or you can go with a solid color instead of any white at all. 



Budget

Kids are expensive to raise, so be very aware of your flower girl's family's financial situation. Pick out something that fits into a price range that is sensible for them, or offer to pick up part of the tab. Our Little Maiden collection is filled with affordable flower girls dresses that can work perfectly withing many budgets. 

Personality

The flower girl dress will reflect the style of the wedding that you are throwing, but it should also fit the personality of the little lady wearing it. Knowing how your flower girl acts on a daily basis and her general outlook on life are both great factors in finding the perfect wedding day fashion for her. 


When you are ready to find something beautiful for the littlest lady in your wedding to wear, let us help you out. We put every ounce of love and care into our flower girl dresses as we do our fashionable wedding dresses and other special occasion gowns. Visit our website to find a Venus Bridal retailer near you for access to the most amazing dresses for every woman in your wedding.

A Rainbow of Color Choices for Your Wedding

There are a few different methods for choosing the colors that you will be using for your wedding. One thing that should factor into that decision is the color that you want your bridesmaids to wear. Venus Bridal has a very large selection when it comes to available colors for our beautiful bridesmaid gowns.


The trend in the past was to always put bridesmaids in the exact same dress. That look can still be beautiful today, but there are many brides that choose to put their bridal party in different looks with a coordinating theme. This could be a variety of styles all in the same color, matching gowns in a variety of complimentary colors, or a mix of varying shades of one main color.  


Mixing Styles

Not everyone looks good in every dress, so allowing your bridesmaids to wear different styles is a good way to make sure they all look their best and feel comfortable. You will want to make sure there is one unifying element, like color, to tie all of the looks together. 

Keep in mind that different fabrics, even when dyed with the same, may vary slightly in color. Compare swatches closely before ordering bridesmaid dresses, or insist that all of the gowns be made from the same fabric. That way you know they will all match when the orders arrive. 


Mixing Colors

Another option is to pick one style for all of the bridesmaids to wear, but put each on them in a different color, or varying shades of one color. The important thing is that they all compliment each other. Consult a color wheel to refresh your art class memories about which ones work the best together. You can also use the season or the wedding venue to pull color inspiration.


The Rainbow of Venus

You will see the wide variety of color choices for your bridesmaid dresses on our Venus Bridal website color chart. There are far too many to list here in the blog, but you will see names and samples on that page. Please realize, though, that depending on the way you are viewing our site, colors may vary slightly due to different screen resolutions. 

Use the website as a guideline to help you with your main choices, but visit one of our authorized Venus Bridal retailers to see fabric swatches in person for the most accurate color matching. The colors that you choose for you wedding can help to tell a story and set the mood. Once you figure out the way you want the overall event to look, Venus Bridal is here to make sure your wedding day fashions fit into that picture perfectly.
