Florals & Styling | Edenhouse Venue | 16 Hands Farm Dress & Accessories | Bridal Traditions Wedding & Prom Attire It's a great time for 2017 brides to be shopping, and buying their wedding gowns! See our graphic below for details on our latest promotion here at Bridal Traditions. We are here to help you find you perfect gown, while easing fears and frustration, in our casual and calm environment. Remember to Just Breath. Happy Shopping!
We are so excited about the newest collection of stunning bridal gowns that have been added to the BT racks! Beloved gowns are soft, feminine, and whimsical; perfect for any bride that wants a timeless look, but still needs to express her true self.
We are so excited to be adding Sydney's Closet and Michelle Bridal to our selection of plus size bridal gowns! We have worked with Sydney's for several years with their prom line, and now we are glad to be branching out with their bridal lines as well. The Sydney's brand is dedicated to the plus size woman, and they understand that brides in all shapes and sizes want to feel beautiful on their wedding day. Their generous size charts put women in smaller sizes than any other bridal brand; and all styles are available in sizes 12W-32W, with select styles being available up to 40W! Both lines are offering fabulous styling at a superb value. The average price range for this debut season is $298 - $848! That is almost unheard of in today's market, but if you have ever shopped with us before you know that that is one of my most heartfelt endeavors; to find the lines I can offer my customers where I feel like they are getting a bang for their buck. And, Sydney's is offering just that this season! Sydney's also keeps a great inventory of dresses in their warehouse. Meaning, if we don't have the size and color you need in-stock chances are they will! But, if not, the regular delivery time is a scant 16+/- weeks, much better than the 24+ weeks some designers are offering.
So if you are a curvy girl looking for a fantastic dress that won't break the bank make sure you stop in and shop with us! Our new Sydney's and Michelle Bridal dresses will start arriving over the 2015/2016 winter season! We are so excited to announce that we are adding Ella Rosa Gallery bridal gowns to our collections beginning this fall! Ella Rosa Gallery is a division of the Private Label by G design house, (maybe you have heard of them?), they have only been designing quality bridal gowns for more than 30 years! We love this beautiful collection of bridal gowns that feature; soft romantic styles, with a modern flare, and superb fit. All of that, along with the more than affordable price points, makes this line a match made in heaven for our brides. All of the Ella Rosa Gallery styles are available to order in sizes 2 -28, with no up-charges for plus sizing until after 20, and every styles comes in a choice of white or ivory. Regular delivery time for special orders is an unheard of 12 to 14 weeks, and in a world where it can take 24+ weeks from other designers, that's pretty darn amazing! If you need your gown even quicker they also offer an 8 to 10 week rush cut for an additional fee. All of the styles pictured, plus more, will begin arriving at Bridal Traditions Wedding & Prom Attire in November 2015! Make sure you stop by and let us help you find your perfect dress, and always remember to; Enjoy this Moment!
We were so excited to take part in a styled photo shoot that was organized by Waterhouse Studios a few months ago. It was most assuredly a team effort, and involved many talented vendors that we would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding or other special event! Contrary to belief you do not have to go far to find quality weddings vendors, we have some of the best right here in Wilkes! Photography: Lauren Waterhouse of Waterhouse Studios Photography

We are still very excited and thankful for this new opportunity to grow our business here in Wilkes. We made this decision after hearing the feedback of what our customers were saying during the 2014 prom season. People thought we only did weddings. They had no idea that we had such an amazing selection of gowns and accessories for prom and social occasion, even though our name is Bridal Traditions Wedding & Prom Attire. So, the idea was born! We would have a store within a store and promote it as our prom boutique.
At first, it would be the section that was already designated as the prom department in the store, but it would receive separate marketing, promotion, and its own name. That was a task in itself. What do we call it? I knew that I wanted it to be something meaningful, that would somehow have an impact on the girls that would shop here. It is my desire to empower young women to be who they are, and to accept the reflection in the mirror as beautiful. I wanted a name that would convey that we do not care who you are, what your tastes are, or what you look like. We think you are beautiful! It took some time and a lot of bouncing ideas off of different people, but one day a very good friend casually said; "What about beYoutiful?". It was a perfect fit! So the name was set, the logo was being designed, and plans were being made. But, I kept having the nagging thought; "Wouldn't it be amazing to have a whole new re-designed area just for prom?". So after much deliberation and consideration we decided that YES, this is do-able! To date, the new wing (as I am lovingly calling it), has four walls, a roof, windows, and new siding. This is a very exciting time during the journey of Bridal Traditions that we are proud to make you a part of. It is our sincerest hope that come prom 2015 everyone knows about our prom boutique, and that we do not here the words "I didn't know this was here!" ever again. I am ever thankful for the amazingly unbelievable blessings that we have received and the newness of each day. It's an awesome journey and we are enjoying the ride! When brides are in the wedding planning stages, dress shopping is a very early part on the planning agenda. Brides should expect to order their dress on average, 9 -12 months prior to the wedding, but what is the one thing we hear most often when preparing to place that very important order? “Well, I am planning to lose weight”. A good majority of brides have this one thing on their mind when they go shopping for a gown, but the reality is you should dress the body you have now, not the one you hope to have later. Life happens and the weight does not always come off as fast as expected or in the places expected. Talk about added pressure by ordering a size smaller than what you are; as if the planning process weren’t pressure enough! If you dress who you are today and the weight comes off great! Dresses are made with alterations in mind and can be taken in an average of two sizes or more depending on the style and construction. If you dress who you are today and the weight doesn’t come off, or (gasp) you gain a tiny bit, you are still good. With the right alterations expert in your corner you will fit beautifully in that dress you have dreamed about for so many months.
Sweetheart is one of our newest bridal gown lines. The styles are amazing and we are so glad that we had the opportunity to pre-order the 2015 collection. Our samples are already arriving in-store and they are even more beautiful in person than they are in the pictures! With the 2015 collection already arriving brides can stay ahead of the trend curve and book a dress that would not normally arrive in-store until winter 2014/2015! Beautiful organza ball gown with lace accents and wide lace straps. We have all of our Sweetheart gowns loaded to the website including some amazing carryovers from previous seasons. Just visit the Sweetheart page. One of my very favorites for this season, soft chiffon with a dramatic back. Perfect for beach or garden ceremonies. Who doesn't love a beautiful, well done lace? This dress is all about simplicity and sophistication. With such diverse styling the Sweetheart Collection offers something for every bride. We would love to show you our favorites in person, call us today to book an appointment! 336.667.5423
