Veejay Floresca 2013 Real Brides Collection (IV)
AdvertisementsThe youngest in the spread, Floresca’s start in bridal design was a rocky one. “The first wedding gown i made was a complete disaster!” he reveals. “But I did my best to fix it, and after revising it three times, it came out really nice.” Since then, young brides have gone to him, perhaps enticed by the white finale gowns of his fashion shows (they are always the first ones to sell). “I really didn’t plan on making bridal gowns my business,” Floresca muses, “but it’s really a calling.”

Shoes to kill and die for: Badgley Mischka
AdvertisementsChoosing your bridal shoes can be a tricky business these days mainly because you have such amazing options and sometimes it can be rater difficult to choose. My advice is to keep it classic and focus on a designer known for his high quality products but also his knowledge of bridal fashion.
Bridal shoes from Badgley Mischka can be the perfect choice for you as not only will they stand out but will also keep the same note with your wedding gown. Keep in mind that you don’t want to overpower your wedding dress or create an informal look – at the end of the day you’re still the bride.
Also try to choose a pair of shoes that blend well with your personality and that you may reuse with other outfits. My personal favorites (see the big image above) are the ruffle sandals – perfect for a bridal look but also a cocktail outfit. Don’t forget to check Badgley Mischka’s website and see all the shoes featured.
