Weddings bring a lot of moving parts together—venues, flowers, family, and of course, fashion. At Bridal Traditions, we know how important it is to keep the process simple and organized, especially when your wedding party may be spread out across the state and around the country. That’s why we offer an easy-to-use online menswear ordering portal, designed to take the stress out of tux and suit rentals. For Our Local CouplesIf you’re nearby, we always encourage couples to stop into the boutique first. Seeing the different styles, colors, and cuts in person makes all the difference, and you’ll get to touch the fabrics and try accessories before making final decisions. Once you’ve chosen your favorites, we’ll upload those preferences into your wedding’s online dashboard so that your groomsmen can log in, see the exact look, and place their own orders. For Your Far-Flung GroomsmenIf your wedding party is scattered across different cities—or if you’re planning a destination wedding—the online portal is a game-changer. Each groomsman can log in from wherever they are, review the selections the bride and groom have chosen, and enter their own measurements. When it's time for your event, your garments will be sent to the address you entered in time for you to try on items and to make any size adjustments if needed. This is all done within the portal, AND there's a dedicated team and helpline to answer any questions you may have. The Power of Accurate MeasurementsOne of the best parts of this process? Our formalwear partner, Jim’s Formal Wear has invested heavily in an advanced online measurement tool that’s over 95% accurate. That means your guys can size themselves with confidence—no tape measure, no tailor, no stress. No trip to the store needed at all! Easy for EveryoneOnce BT has sets up a bride and groom's wedding day account profile, we can help you put all of your looks, selections and info into your profile or we can pass it off to you to complete on your own at your convenience. From there, gentleman handle their own orders directly, with updates sent via text or email. The entire process is streamlined, clear, and fast. Almost Too EasyAt Bridal Traditions, our goal is to help you focus on celebrating your big day—not stressing over logistics. Whether your crew is local or scattered far and wide, our online ordering portal keeps everyone looking sharp and on time. Honestly, we’ve made it so easy, there’s no excuse not to look your best.
In June of 2025, we had the honor of participating in a stunning styled wedding photo shoot at The Lodge on Brier Creek, beautifully captured by photographer Ashley Logan. Styled shoots are such an important part of the wedding industry—not only do they highlight current trends, but they also give talented vendors the chance to showcase their work in a collaborative and creative way. And this particular shoot is being featured on Wedding Chicks this September 2025. Wedding Details & SettingFor this shoot, we provided the wedding attire, pairing it with elegant details from an incredible vendor team. From Anna Howe’s stationery designs and Bella’s Blooms by Dish GardenArT florals, to Laurel Beauty and Wallis Styles for hair and makeup, every detail came together seamlessly. The tablescapes sparkled with Miss Match Rentals’ dinner glassware, while the furniture from Sweet Everlasting Rentals created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Together, it was the perfect showcase of what’s possible when talented professionals bring their artistry to the table. And the other vendors (see list at the end) showed up as only pros do! There is so much talent in this industry! The Wedding GownOur models were attired in designs provided by us at Bridal Traditions and the bride wore a beautifully fitted satin halter gown that featured a split in the front. She dazzled in it. The groom wore a deep evergreen suit with matching vest and subdued accessories. They looked thoroughly modern and chic. At Bridal Traditions, we believe styled shoots like this not only inspire future brides and grooms but also shine a spotlight on the creativity of the wedding community. We were thrilled to play a part in bringing this vision to life and can’t wait to see how couples draw inspiration for their own perfect day.

Some wedding days just have that sparkle—a mix of sunshine, joy, and moments so sweet they’re etched in memory forever. Chelsea Jones and Boo Tesh’s May 24th celebration at Grove Lake Farms was exactly that kind of day. Chelsea and Boo’s love story began at Carolina University, where friendship slowly grew into something deeper. By the time their wedding day arrived, it was clear to everyone that these two were meant for each other. One of the most unforgettable moments of the day came during their first dance. While Boo thought he was about to sway to a favorite song, he quickly realized it was Chelsea herself singing. She had recorded the song in secret, and seeing his face as the surprise sank in? Absolutely priceless. Chelsea’s gown was every bit as timeless and radiant as she is. She stayed true to her original vision, choosing a form-fitting silhouette with tank straps, a beautifully fitted bodice, and an exquisite lace overlay that added both romance and elegance. It was a dress that moved with her effortlessly—perfect for both walking down the aisle and that special first dance. Between the picturesque charm of Grove Lake Farms, the mild May weather, and the pure happiness surrounding them, Chelsea and Boo’s wedding day was a beautiful reflection of their love—authentic, joyful, and unforgettable.
Congratulations, Chelsea and Boo! Here’s to a lifetime of surprises, laughter, and happily ever after. Each year, our team at Bridal Traditions heads to Atlanta Market to preview the latest in prom, bridal, and formalwear—and to bring the very best back to our North Carolina boutique. This year’s trip was full of inspiration, bold choices, and a few surprises that we can’t wait to share with our customers Prom Market dresses that dazzled us!For Prom 2026, the trends are all about romance and femininity. Tiers and flouncing on skirts is "beyond" this year! (See gowns above) We saw lots of muted, gauzy florals, soft pinks, and dreamy pastels making their way into gowns, alongside rich jewel tones and whimsical Bridgerton-inspired looks. Fabrics like jacquard added texture and depth, while tried-and-true silhouettes such as ball gowns, fit-and-flare, and sleek modern cuts are still as strong as ever. You'll see more of those in our blog in the weeks to come. We made some exciting, bold choices for our prom collection this year, and we can’t wait for our clients to see what’s coming. A Bit of Bridal at the Atlanta Market 2025Now that we’re back from market, the Bridal Traditions team is even more excited for the year ahead. Not only will we be welcoming these fresh new prom styles into the boutique, but we’ll also be rolling out gorgeous new bridal collections. And for brides who want something chic and versatile, our “little white dress” collection will be available again—perfect for rehearsal dinners, receptions, or stepping away from tradition in style. At BT, Market is more than just a buying trip; it’s about curating collections that reflect both timeless beauty and what’s fresh in the fashion world. We can’t wait for our brides and prom-goers to step into our boutique and see what’s in store for the year ahead.
Look for a followup blog about market with even more gowns in the weeks to come. |
