When Less is More: In Praise of the Simple Gown

January 30, 2020February 13, 2020 SofiaBella

Congratulations to @HilaryDuff and Matthew Koma, who got married Saturday in Los Angeles! Watch as we catch up with the bride-to-be in the days just before her wedding: https://t.co/MGBLZz5HrZ

At Sofia Bella, we always have our trend-spotting radar on.

Besides spotting celebrities (Think Hilary Duff and Jennifer Anniston) clad in simple gowns, many of our brides tell us they want the same.

Look no further ladies — we have you covered. We have several styles in stock.

My favorite gown in this style has a daisy imprint, a sexy slit and secret pockets. That’s right, pockets! How cool!

If simplicity and elegance is what you seek, then make an appointment with us to find your simple and beautiful gown. As always, when you find the gown, you can take it with you the same day.

Stylist Notes: My Fairytale Dress

January 23, 2020 SofiaBella

This is the ball gown dreams and fairytales are made of. As a little girl, this is what I imagined wearing as I floated down the aisle toward my Prince Charming.

With endless possibilities of corsets, tulle, and necklines, this style remains a favorite of Cinderella, Ariel and the rest of us princesses.

I like this particular ball gown with its subtle bling, whimsical lace, and soft tulle. It’s an on trend take from a classic ballgown with the unlined lace flowing effortlessly into a soft tulle skirt and subtle ribbon-like trim.

Come visit us at Sofia Bella to see our fabulous selection of ball gowns and I’ll help you find the dress your dreams are made of.

The Cape Dress: Trendy, but Here to Stay

January 3, 2020January 3, 2020 SofiaBella

Note to brides: Cape dresses are a fantastic reimagining of the traditional veil. While veils will be forever popular, they usually get removed after the ceremony.

We think cape dresses are more than a trend and unlike the veil, it makes a statement from the ceremony through the reception.

Today’s brides can choose from cape dresses with styles from sleek and modern to romantic lace trim.

Come see this latest fashion trend at Sofia Bella Bridal and make your own regal and elegant fashion statement.

And don’t forget about our grand opening sale on January 3-5. All gowns are 25% off.
