As my nuptials are less than six months away (eeeeek!) I can’t help but still revel in all things wedding-related. From buying specific shape and sized-vintage milk glass vases to organizing all events surrounding the Big Day, I’ve certainly got a fair of work still cut out for me, however the really fun for me, naturally, comes down to the apparel, accessories, and makeup! I will be adding more about the latter soon, but for the time being, I was able to focus on the intimate details of what I will wear with the team at The White Gown, where we discussed everything to my personal style to thoughts on headpieces, sashes, wraps, jewelry, shoes, and more for my July wedding.
I’m still on the hunt for a great little capelet or wrap to accompany my dress, which has proven a challenge with a dramatic back design and high neckline on my gown. The gals at The White Gown provided alternatives and suggestions to work with what I need, and my only regret is that I wish I would have discovered the shop sooner!
Located in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, the shop is an approachable and casual yet opulent experience in the bridal gown hunt. Many clients express that they are ‘not your average bride’ which is exactly how I felt as well when I started this process. The shop excels in customer service, and does in-house alterations and customization, along with making jewelry, veils, birdcages, headbands, sashes, capelets and more to enhance your bridal look. See above for my in-depth experience via the images from my store visit.

[…] It really is getting to be into the swing of the countdown for my July nuptials, and as a wonderful special project, I teamed up with The White Gown in DUMBO, Brooklyn for a fun bridal beauty tutorial video! I wore a Nicole Miller gown, in a similar style to my own dress, and sported two different hair piece and makeup looks. You will soon get to see the video and vote on which look you think I should wear for my wedding, but in the meanwhile, here’s the behind-the-scenes pics from the photoshoot! The amazing team included host Dawn Del Russo, makeup by Lindsey Jones, hair by Laureen Krawse, hair accessories by Thea of Hushed Commotion, video by Courtney of Love + Brain Films, Abby Ludowise of Chic Creative for coordinating, and of course, The White Gown!
