How to prep for your bridal appointment

How to Prep for Your Bridal Appointment

wpadmin

Our Sofia Bella Bridal stylists strive to make your bridal appointment a smooth, fun, and satisfying experience. It takes a team to make the magic happen, so here’s what the bride can do before you arrive at the salon:

  1. Research and Gather Inspiration: Look for wedding dress styles, silhouettes, and designers that you like. Create a Pinterest board or collect images that inspire you. This helps your stylist understand your preferences and find options that align with your taste.
  2. Set a Budget: Determine a realistic budget for your wedding dress before your appointment. We’ll show you styles in your price range.  Don’t forget to budget for additional costs such as alterations, accessories and taxes.
  3. Make an Appointment: While walk-in appointments are OK, booking an appointment allows us to focus on you. Also, weekdays are quieter, if you prefer intimacy while weekends are busy and full of bride tribe energy.
  4. Wear Appropriate Undergarments: Save going commando for another time. Choose seamless nude or white underwear. Additionally, bring a strapless or convertible bra if you have one. Wearing the right undergarments help you visualize how the dress appears on you and makes the fitting process more accurate.
  5. Bring Supportive Companions: Invite a select group of friends or family whose opinions you trust and value. As Sofia Bella is an intimate boutique, we recommend the bride plus three. We can also Zoom or FaceTime those unable to be present.

Remember to enjoy the process and be open to trying on different styles. And have confidence in your journey with us for find your dream dress!

P.S. Don’t forget to visit us at BrideCon Anaheim on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024!

Mantilla Veil

Make a Statement with a Mantilla Veil

SofiaBella

Mantilla veils are popular again and you may have already seen celebrity brides already sporting them. They’re the best of both worlds – traditional and trendy.

While mantilla veils have their roots in Spanish culture and destination weddings there, they can compliment the ambiance and theme of most any wedding.

With their delicate tulle and ornate edge designs, mantilla veils add extra excitement to any Sofia Bella gown.

We have several styles to choose from, so book your appointment now to find a dream dress and a veil to match it. Not everyone wants a veil, so we also carry tiaras, halos and hairpieces also.

P.S. As Veteran’s Day approaches, we salute all those who have served the United States. Here are some ways to honor the veterans in your life.

Black Bridal Gown

Five Reasons to Choose a Black Wedding Gown

SofiaBella

What’s hot this season? Black gowns are in and you don’t need to be named Morticia, Wednesday or Vampira to wear one.

Here’s five reasons brides are choosing black gowns:

  1. It’s unique: Black gowns offer a striking and unique alternative to traditional white or ivory dresses, allowing brides to express their individuality and stand out on their special day.
  2. Symbolism: Some brides choose black gowns to symbolize a departure from tradition, signaling a break from societal norms or representing a more unconventional love story. Nowadays, black wedding gowns are the first choice for women who want to wear an unusual yet intense look. They are seen as fashionable and symbolize elegance.
  3. Versatility: Black dresses can be worn for various wedding themes, from Gothic and vintage to modern and minimalist, making them a versatile choice for different wedding styles.
  4. Flattering Look: Black dresses can be quite flattering, as the color is known for its slimming effect and ability to complement a wide range of skin tones.
  5. Elegance and timelessness: Black is a color associated with elegance and timelessness, making it a classic choice that can make a bold and sophisticated statement on the wedding day.

Sofia Bella Bridal has several different styles of black gowns and we even have matching veils. Book your appointment to try on your beautiful black gown.

P.S. Don’t miss BrideCon Pomona on Oct. 29, 2023! Our beautiful gowns including the black ones will be in the runway show.
