THE LOOK
DRESS TO IMPRESS
“ Two trends that stand out are the dropped or Basque waist . The Basque waist is dipped
in the front into a ‘ V ’ shape , accentuating the waist and elongating the torso . The other trend coming back for 2025 is the corset lace-up back . Trends are cyclical , so these styles are coming back around !”

BLAZE A TRAIL
“ We are all about the cathedral-length veil at Ivory Bridal Boutique . When is a bride ever going to have the opportunity to wear one ? A veil looks spectacular at an outdoor venue or trailing down a church aisle . From simple and clean , to adorned with lace , rhinestones , pearls or vibrant color , we love to see that long veil look no matter what type of wedding .”
