Say yes to the dress

Say yes to the dress

It’s the dream of many women, even those who deny it most vehemently, to walk up the aisle in the perfect wedding gown. Many brides will attest, however, to just how daunting a challenge it is to secure that one dress with your name written all over it. It truly takes fit after fit after fit. Brian and Sara Stanford, the proprietors of Bliss Bridal Boutique understand this dilemma only too well and judging from the public’s reception of The Bridal Trunk Show held on Saturday, April 23 at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, Kingston they have found the solution! Brides, and there were many, tried on dresses by international designer labels Maggie Sottero, Lillian West and other top designers. The process was simplified by the presence of Bliss consultants and Stacy Hughes, Maggie Sottero’s international business manager. Brides-to-be were also able to take advantage of discounts and other event specials. AW Fashion takes you inside the show.
