Wait No More!

We’ve been anxiously awaiting the big day and pondering over the shape and style of Kate Middelton’s dress. Finally our questions have been answered! Kate wore an ivory and white satin gazar with French Chantilly lace gown, created for her by Sharon Burton of fashion House Alexander McQueen yesterday at the royal ceremony.

The dress had an air of simplicity and modesty, but the plunging sweetheart neckline gave the gown a dramatic element. We couldn’t help but think-was she channeling the timeless beauty of Grace Kelly?

Royal Wedding Extravaganza!

Okay, we'll admit it, we are joining the royal wedding craze that is surrounding Prince William and Kate Middleton! Who doesn't dream of marrying a prince and getting to wear the most beautiful and extravagant princess wedding gown made specifically for your special day? And, she gets a crown. And fine china named after her! We're jealous... and extremely intrigued. Kate is a beautiful woman and she has a classic yet modern sense of style, so we are so excited to see what she will wear for her wedding gown!

We recently came across a website that shows different sketches from some of the best designers in the world (uhm, could we have Monique sketch up a gown for us too?) and also some unknowns, which is what Kate is great about. She helps awesome designers who are on the brink make it to the map, so we wouldn't be surprised if she does the same thing with her wedding gown designer too.

Take a look at our link and then let us know what your vote is for Kate's dress! We would love to talk princesses and all that is royal with you :)

Charlotte's Bridal and Formal Wear- Brides Across America July 2010

Hot-lanta!

Hello everyone! It's been a little while since we've updated our blog, but I PROMISE, you won't be mad when you see the amazing things we got for our store!

Our manager just got back from Atlanta's (or, "Hot-lanta" if you want to describe the amazing things you can buy there!) market and brought with her some of the most beautiful bridal, prom, and pageant jewelry. The thing I love most about our new collections is that it is so trendy, you can wear it again! We're talking about pearls, crystals, chunky sets of jewels, bows, jewels with color, etc. etc. etc.

We can't wait to see our brides and their bridesmaids wearing the romantic pearl strands with the bits of crystal and bows added in, the prom girls rocking the color and sparkle, and the pageant contestants showing off the most beautiful and elegant sets of necklaces and earrings we have ever seen (the Swarovski crystal earrings with detail on the front and back come to mind)! Believe me, there is a style here for every wedding dress, prom dress, and pageant dress that shows off your style and personality.

Make your appointment today to let the Charlotte's girls provide you with the very best bling around! :)
