Hello Alfred Angelo Brides!
Today, I am sharing a preview of a few styles/silhouettes I tried on at my first appointment, and why I thought these would be a good fit for my body shape.
As I said in my last post, I chose Alfred Angelo because of the amount of variety they have in both wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. The fit is fabulous (as I found out at my first fitting) AND, they have a wide selection of different styles to fit every shape and size that will make every girl feel beautiful.
After trying on wedding dresses, my top four came down to: 2240, 1136, 801, and 758.
I love the one-shoulder design of Alfred Angelo style 2240. The overall look and shape of the dress hugged my curves perfectly, and I loved the mix of fabrics. The asymmetric bodice flatters at the hips, and the embroidered lace skirt flows effortlessly.
Alfred Angelo 1136 (an Alfred Angelo top seller!) really let me express, what I like to call my inner “Elvis” with all that crystal beading at the neckline! And lets face it, what girl doesn’t love a little sparkle? The satin fabric falls beautifully on your body, and the draping at the waist slims and will make your waist look, I think, two sizes smaller. Just an overall great dress!
Alfred Angelo Sapphire style 801 really screamed “Megan”. The texture of the beautiful re-embroidered lace, in ivory, appealed to me because it matches the theme of my wedding, Country Chic, SO well! The sweetheart neckline shows off your décolletage without being too revealing, and the sheath style is a classic silhouette. I really loved this dress!
Alfred Angelo Sapphire style 758 was just absolutely stunning! It has the perfect amount of sparkle to stand out, but not over-the-top. It also fit my hourglass figure like a glove, and the corset style was very flattering. The train is jaw dropping, and overall, there were so many intricate details that pulled it together to be a perfect wedding gown. This dress is very elegant and I truly felt like a princess in it.
You, too, can try on these Alfred Angelo styles at any Alfred Angelo Signature store, or any Alfred Angelo Partner store, located all across the US.
I went to Alfred Angelo Partner store Margo’s A Wedding Place in Union, Missouri to try on my wedding dresses. I worked with an AMAZING associate named Rachel, who made me feel like she truly cared for me, my bridesmaids, and what I was looking for in my perfect dress. I was feeling under the weather the day I had my appointment, but Rachel made me forget all about it!
Toward the end of my appointment, I was having the HARDEST time choosing between my top two dresses, but Rachel was able to assist me in making up my mind! Margo’s had a magnificent selection of wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. The boutique is very clean and cozy, and I was very comfortable the entire time (despite being ill). I can’t wait to go back. If you are shopping for a dress and ever in the area, check them out!
After an hour of trying on my top 4 dresses, I was FINALLY able to choose “the one”. Stay tuned to find out what style I decided on for me big day.
What styles/silhouettes are you looking to try on on at your first appointment?
I hope 2013 is off to a great start for you!
All the best,
Megan

Alfred Angelo
Hello Alfred Angelo brides! My name is Megan Stone. I was a contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, Season 13, where I competed with my mother. I am very proud of what I accomplished on the show and how far I made it in the competition (lasted 13 of the 17 weeks), as it helped get me to where I am today.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing my wedding planning and shopping experience with you, as I too, am an Alfred Angelo bride!
First things first, a little about me….I am a down to earth country girl who was born and raised on our family farm in Dittmer, Missouri. I love to hunt, fish, hike, work around the farm, and compete in rodeos.
On September 28th, 2013, I am getting married to my best friend and soul mate, Michael Leady!

After I got engaged, I began thinking non-stop about wedding dresses, probably like most of you. When selecting my bridal gown maker, I wanted a brand I knew would offer me a wide range of styles to select from, not only to view online, but also to try on in-store. And, I wanted a company who would have an amazing selection of bridesmaid dresses for my bridal party, in silhouette and color range. That was, hands-down, Alfred Angelo.
They have so many different styles to fit every shape and size just the right way that every girl will feel beautiful.
So, off I went gathering style numbers and pictures of gowns that could be “MY” dress. As I was searching through the Alfred Angelo collections, I found, no matter what type of wedding you’re having or theme, you’ll see Alfred Angelo has the perfect dress that defines you and your personal style best.
I have a good idea of wedding dress styles I like as top contenders, so I made my first appointment to try on gowns at an Alfred Angelo partner store close to my home, Margo’s A Wedding Place!
Now, all I have to do is wait for that day to arrive!
Brides, what are some of your top wedding silhouettes/styles you’re thinking about for your wedding dress?
Looking forward to sharing all the news from my first wedding dress shopping experience soon!
All the best,
Megan

Alfred Angelo Dresses Holly Durst for June 2012 Wedding
BACHELOR Reality TV star Wears Alfred Angelo Wedding Gown for Ceremony
Philadelphia, PA – June 2, 2012 –Holly Durst walked down the aisle to wed Blake Julian in best-selling Alfred Angelo bridal gown, style 2117. The luxe taffeta mermaid gown features a dramatic sweetheart neckline, fitted asymmetric, elongated, draped bodice, and tufted skirt with a sweep train. Holly customized her wedding dress with a sash from the Alfred Angelo bridal collection.

Holly selected her gown after visiting the Alfred Angelo Signature store in Atlanta, GA. Holly first previewed the Alfred Angelo bridal collections in 2010 on the runway at the Alfred Angelo bridal show in New York. Holly said of her bridal gown, “I couldn’t be happier with my Alfred Angelo wedding dress! It was really hard to choose because there were so many beautiful choices, but I knew I found my dream dress the moment I put it on! I was fortunate enough to meet Michael Shettel, the designer for Alfred Angelo. He was so helpful and sweet. I feel honored to be wearing one of his dresses. My bridal party and I will be looking great all thanks to our gorgeous dresses from Alfred Angelo!”
Durst joined the cast of the twelfth season of ABC’s The Bachelor. Holly came back to the franchise for the second season of ABC’s Bachelor Pad 2, where she won the competition and met Blake. On the final episode of Bachelor Pad 2, Holly and Blake revealed to the nation that they were engaged. Shortly after her engagement announcement, talks began with designer Michael Shettel about her bridal gown.
Says designer Michael Shettel, “When I first met Holly, I knew she’d be an exciting bride to work with. She was full of energy, yet relaxed about the process of finding her gown. Initially, she was drawn to a traditional ball gown with lots of sparkle. Next, she tried a few fit and flare styles to highlight her figure. Then, for her final try, she found the perfect combination of both. We personalized her gown (2117) by removing the beading at the neckline and adding a crystal encrusted sash to emphasize her tiny waistline. It was a great pleasure to work with Holly and make her dream a reality.”
Durst’s wedding party wore bridesmaid dresses from the Modern Vintage by Alfred Angelo collection. Holly chose style 8602, a strapless soft net gown with pleated asymmetric bodice, in light pink “Cameo”, with a custom white satin sash.
