Although some women want the head to toe, sparkly, glittery, full-on princess look for the wedding day (and yes, we definitely have the dresses for that!), some of my brides prefer less ornamentation. Here's one option for a bride that…
Pattis Wedding Gowns–Strut Bridal Salon Love to Florance and Frieda
Ok, I think Pattis wedding gowns are really underrated. They're not very well known, but they are so incredibly beautiful (not to mention really well made with quality fabrics). So I have to share a couple of them with all…
Ann in Anjolique 2117
