We are happy to introduce a new side of the blog, video posts. We will be using video in many different ways which we will get into soon, but for today we are showing an unboxing of a new gown that arrived at the shop.  It’s a silk satin gown from Priscilla of Boston, featuring a beautiful beaded waist and… well, watch the video and see for yourself.

Stay tuned for more videos that will be posted on the Alta MODA Bridal YouTube channel.

SUPER trunk show this weekend, February 26th and 27th.

Subtle not you thing?  Good!  Than you’ve found the right blog post.

Though some of the wedding dresses headed to Utah for this weekend’s SUPER trunk show dance with the demure, they stray far from boring.  The gowns coming are from Melissa Sweet (sophisticated and playful), PLATINUM (grand and show-stopping), Reverie (soft and chic), and Priscilla of Boston (classic and refined).  Four designers, one weekend!

If you’re ready to find your gown (and not just any gown, but the unique, flattering, fantastic gown you really want) give us a call at 801.531.1215 to set your appointment for this weekend’s trunk show.

We love dreamy dresses…

You know those people you meet and instantly you love them?  Well, that’s how the entire Alta MODA staff felt about Jamie.  Everything from her soft blond curls, best-ever smile, and contagious laugh endeared her to us.  She and Christopher were wed last summer in the Salt Lake temple with a welcoming reception at the groom’s residence.

The fantastic photos are from Laura at Busath Photography.

Jamie’s modest wedding dress is from Amy Kuschel and is made of the most unique lace.  Love it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jamie for bringing Alta MODA in on your big day.  We loved working with you and your adorable mom.

As you’re planing your wedding, don’t forget to make a stylish entrance or exit.

A few weeks ago, UtahBrideBlog.com highlighted local luxury auto-renters Something Vintage Something Blue. This Utah company offers a fine variety of classic and contemporaneity chauffeured vehicles.  Each one a perfect complement to get you to and fro on your wedding day.

They’ll take away the stress and have you arriving in style.

Our SUPER trunk show is but a week away; February 26th and 27th.

So, to the brides we have not yet met:

You will not want to skip this event.  We don’t even know you yet, but we know you’re out there, searching for something special, something to less run-of-the-mill, something sensational.  If we’re lucky enough to meet you at the SUPER trunk show next weekend, we just know you’ll find the one.

The wedding dresses making their way to Utah for this event have unstoppable style and range from the demure to the dramatic.  I, of course, posted a photo of a dramatic style.

Fluffy hat not included.

Her name is Confection and she’s perfectly scrumptious and stylized.  You can almost imagine walking down a Parisian avenue and seeing her on display, overshadowing all the other sweet treats in the window.  (Ahh, Paris…)

Monique Lhuillier never falls short when redefining a classic silhouette or fabric.  Toss is an altogether new neckline and you have Confection perfection.

Want to know what happens when you add an decadently beaded belt?  Take a deep breath before you find out, because it will take what breath you have left away!

A sweet and chic bird-cage veil by Kristina Eaton is up for grabs.  This is one of our favorite veils, so we know you’ll love it, too.  Now you want to know how to win that free veil?  A link to this give-a-way will be posted to our Facebook fan page and to our Twitter profile.  Leave a comment on the link or retweet it and you’ll be entered.  It’s that easy!

Here’s some fine print just for you:

The deadline is February 28th.

One winner will be chosen randomly on March 1st.

We will be messaging the winner that very same day!

You must currently be engaged.

The veil, by Kristina Eaton, takes 2 months to arrive and comes in silk-white or ivory.

If the winner needs the veil shipped, that cost is additional.

This Thursday, February 18th, is Utah’s first ever Brideology Educational Party.  This is not a bridal fair (whew!), rather an intimate and personalized gathering where you can learn the need-to-know tips and tricks for a successful, luxurious wedding here in the Beehive State.

I will be bringing some of my new, favorite lovelies.  Gowns that’ll knock your socks off! (You might even want to wear two pair, just to be safe.)

Because this is an exclusive event, you’ll need to register. You can find all the details here, here, and here.

See you Thursday.

Yesterday, NPR published an article about the new “it” dessert.  Macaroons are set to take over the cupcake as the new treat in town.  There can be no doubt this will transfer seamless into weddings.  (Save the seams for your gown.)

Perfect for weddings, this petite, flavorful confection adapts to color and palette like no other dessert.  Not to mention they’re just so tasty.

Through the creative inspiration of Culinary Crafts and Utah Bride and Groom, we discovered this scrumptious idea a few months back.

Let us know which colors of macaroons you’ll choose.
