How to style a ballgown wedding dress with sleeves for a spring wedding, a fall wedding, and a winter wedding.

Written by Gretchen

When wedding dress shopping, every bride envisions something different for their wedding day.  Some see a bohemian desert wedding. Others see a sunset beach wedding, a mountain top elopement, or a traditional church wedding. While 100 brides might pick the same dress, not one of those ceremonies, receptions, or wedding details will be the same.  Each bride has their own vision, design aesthetic, and their own personal style. All these things plus how they style their wedding gown is an expression of their élan.

And, that right up there is one of the many reasons we love seeing the photos of a bride in her Edith Élan wedding dress. We don’t create the dresses for ourselves. We create them for the brides so that they can express their personal style.

Written by Gretchen

In bridal, wedding dresses with pockets have gained popularity within the last five years or so.  And it's easy to see why. First of all, convenience!  But also, when a bride tries on a dress only to discover it has hidden pockets, her excitement cannot be contained.  She is bound to let her entourage know: "OMG... IT HAS POCKETS!"

​
​There is nothing more wonderful for a woman than a dress with pockets.  Men, I'm not kidding. Compliment a woman in a dress and you will inevitably hear: "Thanks, it has POCKETS!"
