Custom Dyed Wedding Shoes in 19 colors

The best part about dyeables wedding shoes is that you end up with a style and color that coordinates with your color palette. . .The light yellow bridesmaid or bridal heels above are from the Kristie Ann Couture collection at Advantage Bridal and border on the color chartreuse. They’re available in almost 20 colors and 3 heel heights, making them ideal for your bridal party. Or, if you want a hint of color peeking from beneath your gown, these will give you that added punch! The satin shoes feature gorgeous rhinestone shoe clips and a pretty bow.

Custom Bridal Flip Flops in Many Colors

For the beach bride or the casual, outdoor affair, wedding flip flops for the bridesmaids or bride are the perfect choice in footwear. The flip flops above come in white, ivory or black and with various color satin bows to customize them to your colors. We love the sunny yellow and white! Wear these after the ceremony on your honeymoon while visiting the beach or pool (if you’re vacationing in a tropical place, of course)!

YeeHaw: Western Wedding Boots

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013

Country chic, rustic elegance, casual sophisticate: unique western wedding boots for any affair. . .

Flower Cowboy Boots; Western Wedding

We just love, love, love a bride and her bridesmaids in women’s cowboy boots (did we say “love?”) . . .

It’s so country and chic – the perfect mix of casual and sophisticated. Now, not every gal can pull this look off but if you’re a country bride or southern bride at heart, then western wedding boots are for you!

Advantage Bridal is proud to carry gorgeous western boots to complement your outdoor, rustic affair. The Sakura floral cowboy boots in brown/pink or black/blue are so country chic, don’t you agree? Plus, they can be worn long after the wedding, like when you go line dancing with your girlfriends.

Sweet Caroline Western Wedding Boots

We adore short bridesmaids dresses with ladies cowboy boots to contrast against the bride’s more elegant ensemble. But it also looks so adorable when the bride wears a pair herself, either down the aisle or after the ceremony! Would you wear cowboy boots with your gown?

It’s pretty common to see western boots at the weddings of country stars because it’s part of who they are, how they were raised and they want to embrace good ol’ fashion country charm. It’s so darn adorable!

Black & White Ladies Cowboy Boots

Wow, these black and white cowboy boots are pretty stunning! The contrasting leather detail makes them pop. These aren’t your standard boots, oh no, they’re so much more. We call them “fancy” cowboy boots ;)

We carry several Art Nouveau styles, too, like our hot pink or turquoise western boots by Lane. See for yourself how gorgeous they can be!

Authentic Womens Cowboy Boots; Turquoise "Margaret" Lane Boots

What’s your favorite pair? Would you splurge on an authentic pair of ladies cowboy boots for your wedding? You’ll get so much use out of them long after you say, “I Do.” You can also wear them to your bachelorette party, hen party or ladies night out. Some brides are starting a trend and wearing their wedding shoes to their bridal shower so all the ladies can admire them before the ceremony. What a great idea!

Silver & Bronze Metallic Western Boots

In addition to these authentic boots, Advantage Bridal offers handmade lace wedding boots for the vintage bride, Victorian wedding or romantic affair by House of Elliot.

Wedding Theme: All Things “Tiffany Blue”

Friday, August 24th, 2012

While couples spend a pretty penny shopping for engagement rings at Tiffany & Co., at least the brides-to-be will also walk out with an infamous Tiffany Blue Box® to cherish for years to come. Tiffany Blue – the trademark color known as Robin’s egg blue or forget-me-not blue – first appeared in the Tiffany & Co. catalog in 1978.

Turquoise gemstones were popular among Victorian brides during the 19th Century, so the color was derived from this wedding trend. Tiffany Blue remains as fashionable today. Modern brides can incorporate this glamorous color into their wedding theme, with either subtle hints of Tiffany Blue or full-blown obsession with the trademark Tiffany color.

Inspired by the Tiffany Blue Box®, Advantage Bridal carries wedding accessories and bridal accessories in the hue that’s been on the scene for more than a century. The Tiffany-inspired plush ring pillow, which resembles that little blue box, is wrapped in matte aqua satin and tied with double-faced satin ribbon. The flower girl basket matches the ring pillow, so the littlest ones in the wedding party can shine carrying these Tiffany-inspired wedding accessories. Tiffany Blue favor boxes look adorable on the reception tables.

What about a Tiffany Blue bridal shower or Tiffany Blue wedding party gifts? Advantage Bridal carries unique gifts, such as adorable custom rhinestone tanks, wedding albums and new spa wraps in our version of Tiffany Blue.

For girls’ only gatherings or bachelorette parties, have friends wear their little black dress for a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme party complete with Tiffany Blue party accessories. Chocolate brown and diamond white look beautiful with shades inspired by the Tiffany Blue Box®. It’s amazing how one little blue box, tied with a white satin ribbon, is a source of inspiration for brides, wedding planners and designers. Classy . . . elegant . . . glamorous.

Chic Wedding Accessories: Navy & Peacock Feathers

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Guest Book, Guest Pen and Ring Pillow

Navy Peacock Wedding Collection $159.95

Peacock feather wedding accessories are also popular, so Advantage Bridal combined these two wedding trends to create a stunning wedding accessory collection that includes a guest book, guest book pen, ring pillow and flower girl basket.

The Little Blue Box: Dazzling Diamonds by Tiffany & Co.

Sunday, August 19th, 2012
Round Diamond Engagement Ring

Tiffany Setting Diamond Ring in Platinum

There’s something about that little blue box, sweetly tied with a satin ribbon that would give any girl the butterflies. And inside, well, that’s an even sweeter story. When it comes to diamond engagement rings, Tiffany & Co. knows how to win the hearts of women. If your fiancé is shopping for engagement rings, he can’t go wrong with a piece from the renowned jewelry store that was featured in the classic film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

If you’re doing preliminary research and “window” shopping on the Internet, Tiffany & Co. takes the guesswork out of buying a diamond engagement ring – just choose the diamond shape, setting, metal and design. Of course, the ever-popular Tiffany Setting – also called “the ring of rings” – has been a favorite engagement ring worldwide. The price for a 1-carat Tiffany Setting starts at $9,200, but you can get the same ring (under a carat) for much less. Paired with a wedding band, the Tiffany Setting is absolutely magnifique.

What type of Tiffany girl are you? Do you prefer the classic brilliant round diamond or a cushion cut diamond?  Are you platinum or gold? Solitaire or pavé? Whatever sits inside that Tiffany blue box, your life will forever be changed. You might get a special surprise on Valentine’s Day, but if not, it’s always OK to window shop and dream.

Tiffany serves as inspiration for wedding accessories and bridal jewelry available at Advantage Bridal. If you can’t afford the real thing or simply adore the Tiffany blue color, there are ways to get that classic, elegant feel at your wedding.

Vintage Weddings, Full of Charm

Friday, May 18th, 2012

Weddings with vintage details evoke classic romance, honor the charm of bygone eras and stir feelings of nostalgia, whether through vintage wedding gowns, vintage wedding accessories or traditions of yesteryear. There’s something about intricate vintage lace, either on a wedding dress, ring bearer pillow or garter. And weaving vintage appeal into your wedding ceremony or reception isn’t hard to do because these small details can make a big impact. For brides who like the juxtaposition of a modern dress with vintage accessories think about how to effectively accessorize – maybe with vintage inspired bridal jewelry or bridal headpieces. Wear a rhinestone brooch, wedding jewelry set, crystal shoe clips, drop earrings or chandelier earrings, or glamorous headpiece, such as a rhinestone barrette, bridal hair comb, bridal tiara, bridal hair pin, bridal headband or bridal feather. Birdcage veils or French net blushers are also a popular choice for vintage appeal. You don’t have to stick to a single style if you prefer just a hint of a classic era. Or, opt to intertwine this concept into wedding accessories like flower girl dresses, flower girl baskets, bridal shoes, bridal purses, wedding veils, wedding umbrellas, guest books, toasting flutes and wedding invitations. A vintage wedding is one that guests will remember and you will, too. Advantage Bridal features many vintage wedding accessories and vintage bridal accessories for a touch of whimsy.
