Style 2104 is our designer’s pick for this week’s bridal gown of week!

We’re feeling luxe and traditional this week.  If you’re planning a formal wedding and you want a flattering gown that can stand the test of time in photos, Alfred Angelo style 2104 is a great pick for you.
The loose pick ups throughout the taffeta skirt combine with the crystal beading and metallic embroidery to softly reflect light.  We think this makes it especially beautiful for an evening wedding.

We love this wedding dress because it has just the right amount of embellishment and the pattern takes the eye across and down the entire gown, while the side ruching does its job to define and cinch the waist, making an hourglass figure out of even the most rectangular shapes!

A back photo would be amazing especially in a grand cathedral. With a lace up bodice and cascading pickups, even from the back the gown is beautiful to look at.

We see him wearing a traditional tuxedo with a cummerbund and bow tie.  Very classy and classic.  Of course, Roses are a must!

More good news…it is available for quick delivery in every size with no extra charge.  So even if you haven’t been planning forever, you can still wear this gown.

We are loving style 2117.  How about you?

Is it the way the soft taffeta skirt looks so amazingly luxurious?

Is it the fact that the sweetheart adds volume to a smaller figure and provides great coverage and peek-a-boo cleavage to the more generously endowed?

How about the ruching making us all look a little longer and leaner than maybe we actually are?

Its hard to say…but I think it is the billowing skirt.  I love the way it flows and it looks amazing when you are walking down the great white aisle!

Abigail Cullen and her new husband, Andy Cullen, from Bournemouth, UK, wed on February 5, 2012 under the motif of all things Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 1.

Abigail is the first Alfred Angelo bride to don the Twilight Bridal by Alfred Angelo (style 8400) gown for her wedding since the wedding dress hit stores world-wide on November 21, 2011.  The bride purchased her gown from Alfred Angelo Premiere store, Pascali in Parkstone, Dorset, UK.

Abigail knew she wanted her “Bella” gown since planning began, “The gown is gorgeous and I knew I had to have it.”  So much so, that she contacted Alfred Angelo in Florida to check on delivery of the gown in the US.  Once she had found out the gown would be sold in the UK, she located Pascali’s and got her dream wedding dress, “We found out the gown had been released here (UK), and that we had a stockist down the road!  Luckily, the (sample) dress was my size, and only had to be taken in a bit.”

The couple thread likenesses from the film’s wedding throughout their entire wedding, including music, the cake, flowers, and even Andy formal tails tuxedo.  The bride and groom love the film franchise so much, they even changed their legal surnames to Cullen.  On changing their last name, Abigail said, “Andy came out with it as a joke and it kinda stuck, so we just did it.  Life’s to short to worry about such little things I say!”

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Cullen!  We wish them a life of love and adventure, and all the happiness in the world.
