A Few of our Favorite Garters

Finding a wedding dress that is unique, romantic, and timeless can be quite difficult, but we like to think we offer quite a gorgeous selection for our Southern California brides! From personal experience we know that finding those extra details like garters, lingerie, loungewear for your wedding events can be just as hard. If not way more difficult! What's it take for a stylish girl to find tasteful and unique underpinnings that aren't tacky, but still totally sexy? The struggle is real y'all. We'll be sharing a few of our favorite under thing with you this week. And first up, garters! 

Garter with Vintage Beading

We know some of our brides won't be doing a garter toss on their wedding day, and we totally understand that! But if you are on the market for one (whether or not you plan to do a toss or not), here are five of our very favorite garters that meet our high expectations for uniqueness, style, and beauty. Click on through our little garter lookbook -

PS If you are wearing a fuller skirt, you can wear one of the bigger styles. If you are wearing a slimmer skirt, keep in mind you will probably need to wear one of the slimmer styles. If you gown is too fitted and will show any type of garter, you can go without for the wedding ceremony and sneak away to slip one on right before your garter toss. Just a few little tips!

How many of our Dress Theory ladies are planning to wear a garter for their wedding day?!

Happy Monday! And Happy National Coffee Day!

Locally Made Flower Crowns at The Dress Theory

This week we unpacked an extra beautiful shipment, a box full of floral crowns! Designer Kayla is a southern California independent designer who creates beautiful crowns and accessories perfect for boho brides on their wedding day. We love that Kayla lives and makes the pieces near our San Diego boutique, making them even more special! The Eve and Ivory and Gold crown are two of our favorites and can't wait to try them out with our brides! They are the perfect solution to floral crowns for hot wedding days (they'll hold up under heat), brides allergic to flowers/pollen, or any bride that wants her crown to be a keepsake and last for years. Or even for the bride who wants to know exactly what her headpiece will look like in advance ;) We understand that feeling too! 

We can't wait to see our brides using these Love Sparkle Pretty crowns as the perfect finishing touch to their gown. And don't worry, just because you want to wear a flower crown doesn't mean you can't wear a veil too! Need proof? Check out these stunning photos here, here, and here. Oh and here and here while you are at it! Just a few of our favorites!

Have a great friends!
