I’ve been a bridal shop owner for 13 years and I’ve seen a lot of things come and go but let’s start with this dress xander by maggie zotero i really can’t wait for you to try this dress on when i tried on xander by maggie sotero one of the first things i noticed was how feminine and sheer and sexy the top belt i’ve tried on a lot of wedding dresses with sleeves some can get a little Sorry for the black mannequin, but I wanted to show you in detail where we can get really close up of the hem and the top and back we have her in plus size we sell out of this dress often when you’re booking your appointment here at ava’s or at your local bridal retailer make sure to verify what color and size they have in stock another cool feature of xander is this extra panel right here is actually a detachable piece it can even go a little lower like this is the original dress and this is the modesty panel but the way that the modesty panel is done see how it just all blends in you can’t even tell that there’s multiple pieces and i love these little clear snaps and how they can get super sexy so on one side i’m going to show you a little bit modest you know modest v-neck and on this side you’re going all low you’re going to be able to get so many different looks and i love that the bride could decide on game day so on wedding day you can decide okay i’m gonna go ahead and be all out there and super sexy and take the plunge or if you’re feeling like okay my vibe today is just telling me no no if you don’t use the modesty panel that’s here in the dress i think it’d be a really beautiful accessory to maybe your bouquet i really believe that your wedding dress is an expression of you your love story and your personality it tends to represent like the journey that life has brought you on and then you’ve met your fiance and now you’re moving into marriage together your wedding day is expression of that love story so your dress kind of sets the tone that’s why i love thinking about the color of the wedding dress as personality you can line up 10 people who are conservative non-traditional little in between and they’re all going to give you a different answer but you have to go with what feels right Obviously, black wedding dresses are not traditional, so a lot of you will be thinking about your new family, and I hear that a lot in the salon. I want to wear a black wedding dress, and I would rock it so hard, but my fiance has XYZ family members that would have a hard time accepting me, and I don’t want to lead into the whole conversation of family with, “Hey, you’re feeling that way, I want to be talking to you because we really believe that no two brides are ever alike.” We believe that no two brides My best recommendation would be to talk to your fiance about it and most of the time you’ll find that your fiance will encourage you to wear a black wedding dress if you’re concerned about some friends or family members that are conservative you don’t have to go all black you can also do a custom change.

I’m going to show you a little bit later in this article what that means but we also have some other favorites by Maggie Zotero and some other designers that have a mix of the two.

So Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. So, Tristan. Tristan is the name of the dress, but One of the things I like about the Maggie Cetera website is that you can search by color, so you can go into their search bar, type in what you’re looking for, and dresses will come up.

If you’re a bride on a budget, try on some dresses that make you feel skinny, classy, confident, and elegant.
