Dear Brides,

Don’t worry about fitting into a category, don’t follow every rule you read, rather wear what you love.  We’ve had brides find the dress of their dreams, but then wonder, “will this work on a beach?”  What matters most is that it works on you.

Alta MODA’s very own Kate got married ocean-side in the Bahamas in a fabulous silk satin, A-line gown.  Way to break the rules, Kate.  We’ve seen ball gowns on the beach and column gowns in a cathedral.  Just love your gown.

One recent Alta MODA bride, who has a fabulous figure and killer curves, was told (by the books and others) not to wear a trumpet skirt.  This gal not only fit beautifully into our samples, but she found her perfect bridal gown in a trumpet shaped Monique Lhuillier wedding dress.

All in all, throw caution to the wind and find the gown that really speaks to you.  It’s that simple.

Wear what you love!

PS- How beautiful is Kate?  I promise I don’t hire on looks alone.
