Check it out!  Alfred Angelo Spring 2010 Bridesmaids Collection just in!

We have the hottest silhouettes of the season including cocktail length dresses, one-shoulder and halter styles, blouson bodices and trapeze dresses. New colors have also been added for 2010: Marine Blue, Petunia, Violet and Shamrock. And, this season we are excited about the newest bridesmaid fabric: printed charmeuse (check out styles 7059 and 7060!) which coordinates beautifully with solids in satin, chiffon and organza.

With the average maid’s dress price at $175, it works amazingly well with our special offering for November and December

With the holidays fast approaching, The Bridal Boutique is dedicated to serving the community as well as providing an awesome incentive for our brides!  This November and December, we will be holding a food drive to help The Hawaii Foodbank.  Bring in five (5) canned goods and receive a FREE bridesmaid dress with your purchase of $500 or more.

Find your dream wedding gown, outfit your bridesmaids, doll up your moms… just spend $500 at the Boutique and score a FREE bridesmaid dress!  How cool is that?

The Spring 2010 Chicago Bridal Market was a success and we are excited to be able to bring you gorgeous, fashion-forward gowns in the coming months! You will see beautiful new designs by Paloma Blanca, Casablanca, Sophia Tolli, and Alfred Angelo.

When we go to Market, one of our most important goals is to find styles that fit what our brides have been asking for. We looked high and low at Market searching for a fabulous AFFORDABLE line to showcase at the boutique in 2010 and we think we may have found it!  Check out the photos below of the wonderful styling of Niki Livas “White”: capturing the youthful spirit of soft draping with a collection of sophisticated bridal gowns for the ceremony, for the reception… for your spotlight moment.

The Niki Livas “White” Collection will be available in sizes 2 – 16 and will retail between $250 and $575.

*While supplies last. Order must be completed during the event.

Blue Nalu Photography had a photo shoot yesterday for their Hawaii Bride and Groom magazine ad for fall/winter… and the photos are AMAZING! We love the pop of purple to complete her modern, sophisticated bridal style.

The Bridal Boutique provided the Alfred Angelo wedding gown (beautifully worn by Lindsey), which is priced nicely at $599

Rachel, owner/photographer of Blue Nalu, is a true talent and we hope to do more with her in the future!  Thanks for thinking of us for this very special project.

The Bridal Boutique posts monthly specials on the company website at http://www.bridalboutiquehonolulu.com/Current.html?

For example, brides who purchased their wedding dress last month will receive free gown clean and preservation services after their wedding (a $260 value!). 

This month we have multiple offerings to help you get a jump start on your wedding planning. Once you have found your perfect dress, accessories, and wedding party attire, you will often hear Joyce and Cecilia say “now, you can check it off your to-do list!” AND, shift your focus on other important wedding details.

Here’s what’s going on at the Boutique in July:

* FREE VEIL WITH BRIDAL GOWN PURCHASE (value $100)
* FREE SHIPPING ON ALL SPECIAL ORDERS (cannot be combined with any other discount; does not apply to rush fees)
* $199 – $399 bridal gowns (off-the-clearance-rack)
* $99 bridesmaid/special occasion dresses (off-the-rack; does not apply to special orders)

Also, fall 2009 dresses are hitting the showroom floor! Here’s a sneak peak   

We just got word from our Paloma Blanca sale rep that a Paloma gown was worn by Sun, a prominent cast member, in the popular show Lost!! We absolutely LOVE Paloma wedding dresses and are so proud to be the exclusive retailer in Hawaii.

She is absolutely stunning in this all-over-lace, sweetheart neckline number. Check out the A+ grade on Entertainment Weekly online.

The Honolulu Advertiser just announced the 2009 Best of the Best People’s Choice Awards and we are humbled and SO appreciative that The Bridal Boutique was named one of the best wedding stores! We are in good company with our friends at The Wedding Cafe and Celebrity Tuxedos.

When we opened our doors in 2006, we had a vision of taking care of our brides and clients in a beautiful store environment with service that was easy-going and comfortable. It is such a pleasure and joy to be a part of your wedding planning experience and we hope to be doing it for years and years to come!

This also seems to be the perfect time to thank our families and friends for their continued support of our business and to thank our brides and customers for their loyalty and referrals. You make it so easy for us to do our job so well!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!  ~ Joyce & Cecilia
