Kick off your wedding day while wearing this delightfully divine one shoulder wedding gown. The gown’s high front slit will accentuate your gams. Intricately placed beading all over the bodice and dropped waistline gives this masterpiece a sophisticated and luxurious feel. While appliqués of crystals and rhinestones are meticulously placed on the bodice and one shoulder to give this architecturally eye pleasing gown an added touch of sparkle.

Channel the great Ginger Rogers in this truly inspired sweetheart neckline wedding gown boasting impeccable details of rhinestones and a fully feathered (yet not overbearing) floor length skirt. As you sway with your hubby for your first dance as husband and wife, your image will be of true perfection as you gently twist and turn on the dance floor with your flared skirt of feathers. Exquisitely designed, the bodice has clusters of sparkles and plenty of glitz and glam with its array of sequins and beads. The dress is in true art deco fashion with its careful placement of these gorgeous beads. This wedding gown is not only romantic, because of its sweetheart neckline, but merely for its sophisticated, yet breathtaking personality; notice the cluster of beadwork at the center of the sweetheart neckline and how it demurely covers the deep v-sweetheart neckline keeping you feeling sexy without the worry of keeping your bosom in place. Feel free to dance the night away in this chic number. Miss Ginger would be proud!

For a more traditional look with a couture feel, feast your eyes on this glamorously chic strapless wedding gown with fish tail train. The décolletage is refreshing with its deep v-neckline. To further strengthen this ultra feminine design, a band of crystals and sequins adorn a wide belt about the waist to not only cinch you in, but to also accentuate your curves. A burst of the finest crystal rhinestones are detailed on the belt and is designed to mimic the complexity of a snowflake. Remember, no two snowflakes are the same, just like every bride is not the same, so take a look at the rest of what Jovani Bridal has to offer. We promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Your big event is coming up, you’ve come to the right place for your dress and we hope you have found the one, the one that will make jaws drop! But what’s next? Shoes, Accessories and Hair!

We’ll start by tackling the big one: Hair. Your choice of hairstyle depends on a few factors, mainly what type of hair you you have and what style of dress did you choose. With so many possible combinations out head is starting to spin just thinking about it! So we’ve picked some of our favorite celeb formal styles for you to emulate. But first, ask yourself the question, Up or Down?

Wearing your hair down
Whether you have long or short hair, wearing it styled down can be a great option for your formal event. the advantage of choosing a down-style is that your hair can be a statement accessory all by itself. That said, it’s a good idea to keep your facial jewelry to a minimum. Choose some killer earrings but skip the necklace and let your hair do the talking. These styles work especially well with strapless gowns and those with asymmetrical shoulder detailing.

For shorter hair cuts, wearing your hair down can feel a little ‘not-special’. If you wear that same short style every day you may want to change it up for your big event. There’s a few ways to do this. For bobs, there are two options. For the more refined look, to match more traditional, glamorous dresses, the key is sleek and shine. Get that red carpet glow for your hair with perfect bangs and a blinding shine! if your dress is more modern or has a very trendy feel, don’t be afraid to take on a tossled bob. It’s the ‘I didn’t try very hard’ look that celebs rock all the time and can be the perfect accessory to a statement gown.


















Wearing your hair up
Traditionally speaking an ‘up-do’ was the staple from proms, weddings and all other formal events. Not much has changed and a lot of girls still choose this style. What has changed are the options for the up-do! Much like your choices for wearing your hair down, you can go ‘sleek and controlled’ or ‘tossled and natural’. Again, these choices match your choice of gown. Choose an up-do if you gown has detailing around the neckline or a low cut back. these hair styles allow you to accessorize with a necklace suited to the gown and drop earrings to accentuate the style.






































Half Up – Half Down!
For those of you who simply cannot decide between up and down styles, there is a happy middle ground! This is also a great look for those who like the statement of wearing your hair down but would rather the style be more manageable and contained for the evening. Choose these styles especially if you have a one shouldered dress! jewelry-wise, you’re pretty much open to choose anything you like, but a statement drop earring will look stunning.

There’s no doubting that slight chill in the air and the sun is rising that little bit later each morning – that can only mean one thing; Fall is officially upon us. For those of you like me who long for summer dresses and shudder at the thought of the need for closed toe shoes, Fall can be a difficult time of year to dress for. Some mornings are beautifully deceptive and we run out in a summer dress only to be poured on later in the day. So this MissesDressy “Autumn-Phobe” has pieced together the perfect October outfit to take you through the day and out to play!

All Melanie Harris dresses are custom made and the attention to detail is second to none. It should come as no surprise that Melanie has dressed such demure and fashionable ladies as Hilary Clinton and Aretha Franklin. This strapless silhouette offers extensive beading in the overlay detail and a warm autumnal burgundy under layer to offer that perfect seasonal transition. The sparkle adds a little something special for your after work drinks, while the dark under layer gives a modest day look when teamed with the other Fall staple, ballet flats! While we say goodbye to the last of summer, we say hello to one of the reasons we don’t hate Fall, the Mac. Dresses with an A Line shape or rounder skirt give a wonderful flare to a mac, creating the perfect feminine silhouette. So remember, Fall is here, but don’t despair, us Summer girls can still look stunning in our favorite shapes and styles!

We chose beautiful pearl drop earrings and killer heels to top off the look. Keep your make up clean and simple in nude and pale shades. Let the dress and the shoes do the talking!

Lady GaGa turned up at an Obama fundraiser in San Jose last night. By all accounts the star didn’t perform and rather spoke to the President for some time and showed support. No press photos were allowed at the event so we are left to wonder what the ‘creative’ fashionista may have worn! AP describes her look as a sleeveless, black dress. Knowing GaGa there may well have been a leather look in there, so we have come up with this look from Casandra Stone to emulate her style, but in a demure way befitting of meeting Mr. President!

When we think of Mac Duggal’s luxurious couture concoctions, dreamlike images of an evening walk through Paris seem to pop into our minds – and quite rightly so! With his clever use of drapery, chiffon, sequins and sweetly subtle rhinestones coupled with a distinct eye in creating red-carpet ready masterpieces, you may instantly feel as though you’ve just stepped into a realm reserved only for ethereal goddesses. Glazing through our current round-up of Mac Duggal gowns we tapped ourselves into quintessential stylist mode and felt inspired to create this minimally chic ensemble. This gown could very well stand on its own with such an evident, statement-making presence so we decided to keep it light. Here we’ve included a plush little chained clutch that ideally meshes with this gown’s soft cappuccino hues, a red-soled platform to heighten the looks statuesque factors and of course, a pair of romanesque chandelier earrings. Simply perfection!
