Ti Adora Trunk Show Wedding Dresses Deliver Vintage Romance to the Modern Bride

Another Ti Adora trunk show has hit Love Story with many new gorgeous styles we didn't have for our September Ti Adora trunk show. Choosing trunk show pieces for this blog, we found ourselves loving some dresses with more of a vintage touch. Not only a big trend in bridal, but we’ve noticed a lot of Love Story brides are personal fans of the vintage feel.

Modern Gowns, Vintage Details

“Wren” is such a unique addition to this Ti Adora trunk show; it’s comprised of a clean line Charmeuse gown, and a sheer wrap dress with floral embroidery details. The dress alone has a sleek and sexy look, but the wrap with the flutter sleeves and English net softens the look and reminded me of a vintage dressing gown with an ethereal twist. At Love Story, we live to accessorize and playing with the multiple looks of this Ti Adora gown was so much fun for us!

Ti Adora #7558 is another beautiful piece that could work for any vintage bride or even modern bride. I am a sucker for a perfect bateau neckline so I immediately pulled this beauty off the trunk show rack! Speaking not only on style, but fit also, I believe the bateau neckline (plus the a-line silhouette) would look fantastic on all body shapes! I love the ivory lace that graces this gown from the neckline to the hem. As much as the front has a modest look to it, turn around and the low back will have everyone admiring that sexy peek-a-boo of your back. Think jewelry is too much with high neckline? Wear a vintage piece backwards so the lace frames it down your back, we did. ;)

High Necklines, Low Open Backs a Perfect Pairing

The final piece, “Daphne” has beautiful ¾ sleeves in addition to a similar neckline as the previous gown I described, a slightly different vintage approach. This dress gives you nice coverage whether it is for a seasonal wedding, or just your own comfort level.True to Ti Adora from, a little surprise back detail doesn’t leave you totally covered. “Daphne” gives the perfect balance; complimenting the open back, the deep V in front is covered with the sheer English Net. If you’re not in love with all lace, Ti Adora kept this sheer overlay with embroidered trims lining the gown.

Sugar, Spice and Everything Willowby nice! The wedding dresses in the Willowby Trunk Show are just what you need right now!

The sweetest looks from the Willowby bridal collection have graced our shop and will have you feeling like you’re on cloud 9.

Feeling like a princess on your wedding day is something every bride has thought about. I don’t mean a kitschy, childhood vision of Cinderella. I’m talking about a mature, modern bride, feeling like the most stunning woman in the room, marrying the person of her dreams. As I was sorting through all of our Willowby Trunk Show arrivals, all I could think about is how these wedding dresses are the epitome of a sweet and romantic 'princess' vision translated for the millennium.

Willowby #57711 “Jewel”
Spring 2017 Collection
Retail Price $1,170
| A-Line dress with Ashbury Lace Scallop, Deryn Trim, and English Net. Halter straps with keyhole back and sweep train.|

 “Jewel” immediately caught my eye when the Willowby trunk show dresses arrived as it’s such a charming gown. You have your English netting in a clean a-line cut, but the placement of the lace trim and the keyhole back really make it standout. In every sense of the word, this dress said “sweet” and I knew I had to have model, Liz, wear it down the street to one of my favorite downtown Troy locales and very appropriately named, pastry shop, Sweet Sues. Jewel just has something innocent and yet classically bridal about its look. It’s the apple pie of wedding gowns, but with a secret little ingredient! ;)

The "Rorain", another of my favorites in the Willowby trunk show, also has a very soft, sweet princess look but in a completely different way than "Jewel." This dress comes in what Willowby has named “porcelain pink” and to me, it's the ultimate charmer. When I put Liz in this gown, it was like she was floating on a cloud. And I must say, with her natural red hair, I personally was obsessed with the blush tone on her. A-line with a tulle skirt and a lace bodice complete with a sweetheart neckline. There’s no going wrong with this beauty. This is your classic princess wedding dress with a modern twist and complete ease. Add any accessories, flower crown, lace trimmed veil, pearl belt, you get the idea, to complete your personal touch. We just went with cupcakes! Rorain has the quintessential Willowby elements - light, classic, with just the right touch of dreamy! I just love it!
