Picture it, Kansas City, 1993 a black stretch town car limousine and floral prints everywhere. I remember being apart of my uncles wedding as a flower girl along with my sisters. When we were younger we were flower girls in SO many weddings. I mean who wouldn’t want three cute little identical girls apart of…
Okay, confession time. I could scroll through engagement ring inspiration for hours—Pinterest boards, Instagram reels, you name it. If it’s sparkly and beautiful, I’ve probably saved it. To some, this might sound like a strange way to spend a Friday night. But my friends and family? They know it’s just part of who I am….
At Savvy Bridal, we often hear brides say, “I’m a size 10 in jeans, so I must be a size 10 in bridal.” Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Bridal sizing is very different from streetwear sizing—especially when you’re comparing designer gowns to big box store dresses. If you’ve started your dress search at a large…
I loved collecting rocks growing up. Every time I went outside, I found another ten or more rocks to add to my collection. My favorite rocks, though, were the smooth and colorful rocks that you can purchase at museums and other places. As I got older I slowly stopped collecting rocks. Lately, though, I have…

We had Susie Atkinson of…
A wedding is a celebration of love, commitment, and shared values — and for many couples, that includes honoring military service. Whether you or your partner are actively serving or are a proud veteran, incorporating military traditions into your wedding day can make it even more meaningful. July, with its patriotic spirit, is the perfect…
In my experience as a bridal consultant, I’ve had a lot of brides ask me what color they should get for their wedding gown. Nowadays, almost every dress comes in white and ivory and most dresses come in champagne and blush. It can be overwhelming to figure out which color looks best with your skin….
I just recently had my first real experience as a Maid of Honor. I was the Maid of Honor in my older sister’s wedding five years ago, but I was only 16. Because of my young age and lack of money, I wasn’t in charge of any of the traditional Maid of Honor duties. The next…
I have worked in bridal since I was fifteen years old. I started as a runner, which means I put dresses away and cleaned up the store. I loved it! I loved looking at the gowns every Saturday and getting to know the inventory. A year or so after that I became a consultant. I…
Television shows like “Say Yes to the Dress” and “Four Weddings” have given most people a one-sided view of weddings. These shows have shown that most weddings in the United States are big, expensive, glamorous, and filled with light colors. However, weddings are different throughout the world. There are so many cultures in the world…
Accessories can turn the simplest dress into the most glamorous dress. There are tons of great bridal accessories. There are various veil lengths and types, belts, headpieces, tiaras, jewelry, and more. Accessory trends change just as rapidly as gown trends.
