Greetings my Real Weddings brides. It’s time to “B” brilliant and “B” beautiful. Are you sensing a theme here? Today it’s all about the letter “B.” Take these four appropriately named dresses from SPARKLE bridal couture, all modern classics with a few trendy touches, but with silhouettes and proper draping to make them timeless. Check them out!

Bonfilia

Bonfilia is a classic strapless luxe satin gown featuring a beautiful sweetheart neckline and well-structured pleated bodice for additional support. A beaded bow embellishment at the hip gives this gown a modern touch. An a-line skirt cascades over hips to balance your figure and create a perfect hourglass.

Bryce

Bryce is a soft taffeta gown that is light and easy to move around in thanks to its construction and detail. A pleated bust and waistline cinches your mid-section and leads to a black belted accent at your waist. The full a-line pick up skirt give this dress some drama without being too fussy.

Benita

Benita is a modern taffeta gown that uses long layered asymmetrical ruffles to show off a bride’s fun side. The strapless scoop neckline softens the bust line and the pleated angled waistline gives proportion to your figure. A beaded floral accent adds a sweet touch and the detachable cap sleeves give additional support or coverage as needed.

Bareli

Bareli is the perfect combination of vintage and modern with its use of lavish lace embroidery as lace detailing cascades across the bust and down the torso across a pleated waistline. The lace detachable cap sleeves accent a strapless sweetheart neckline. This gorgeous taffeta gown with an a-line skirt features a delicate floral embellishment at the hip.

Happy Thursday, my diva Real Weddings Brides. Are you ready for the next installment of Dazzling Dresses? Check out these divine dresses from SPARKLE Bridal Couture, a boutique specializing in bridal and special occasion dresses size 14 to 30. Let the runway show begin!

ASMIRA

This luxurious satin gown keeps the eye moving with its intricate pleat-work and ruching. Asymmetrical draping balances the bride’s figure to create a perfect hourglass. The exquisite pearl and crystal beaded lace adds a unique feminine touch.

ASHIRA

The flowing organza layers of the Ashira gown’s skirt sway with grace and an air of chic simplicity. A cinched center band accents the bride’s waistline and highlights the delicate weave of eyelash lace throughout the bodice. The reinforced bodice construction provides support and creates an overall smooth look.

ALIANNA

Alianna’s side sweeping organza ruffles gather up to the waist and into a vintage inspired motif of beaded lace. A beautiful combination of modern design and old-world details. The bodice’s sheer folds accentuate the waistline and the lace’s strategic placement slims the torso.

CHARLIZE

This sexy yet playful mermaid gown showcases a bride’s every curve. Long cascading angular layers of ultra-silky angel satin drape into soft waves. The continuous braided pleat work minimizes the midsection. An internal dual-banding system helps lift the bust, cinch the waist and shape the torso into a sultry hourglass.

GLAMOUR ME

Superior luxe organza wraps the body and leads into a classic A-line skirt. The soft sweetheart neckline provides support to fuller bust lines and the generous skirt balances hips. Streamlined crystal and seed beading throughout the gown adds glamorous touches of sparkle.
