The Perfect Sale

Ah, perfection. We meet again. 

We're referring, of course, to The Perfect Dress' annual Black Friday Sale. You know ...

... the day when your favorite designer gowns are on sale starting at $99. 

... the day when the FIRST 15 CUSTOMERS ON FRIDAY will receive an additional $100 off any sample gown of $299 or more.

... the day when a special bridal package will be offered (discounts on belts, accessories, embellishments, etc.) to customers who purchase their gown during the sale. 

... and the day when you just can't handle all the gorgeousness. (But you totally do anyway.) 

Here are the deets ...

Smooth Sailing

Now, this is the way to start off a week. 

Jen Turner, of Jennifer Ann Photography, shared this gorgeousness with Utah Valley Bride, and it'd be selfish to keep it to ourselves. 

The ever-lovely couple is Elise and Rainey, and the photos were taken at Deer Creek. 

Go ahead. Give your eyes a thrill.

Our friends over at The Perfect Dress are hosting their semi-annual sample sale Aug. 3 and 4! They'll be selling gorgeous gowns at marked-down prices, and even new gowns will be available for off-the-rack purchases. 


Oh, and the first six brides at the door EACH DAY get an extra $100 off the purchase of their gown. 


While the first two brides to set up appointments for those days also get $100 off the purchase of their gown. 


We believe the word you're looking for is ... squee!

Walk This Way

WE DO ... shoe-ins!


We've said it before, we'll say it again: Pay CLOSE attention to your dearly beloved shoes, ladies. Don't walk away from an opportunity to make a splash or a statement. (Or, you know, a splashy statement.) 


Those glimpses of fabulous footwear will knock your guests off their feet — which is no easy feat! (OK, we'll stop now.)

Alter of Love

Do we love wedding gowns? (Answer: We love wedding gowns.) 


So when The Perfect Dress gave us an inside look at some of their fabulous frocks that met an alter-nate reality, how could we not share it with you? (Answer: We could not not.)


The local gem of a store has been altering wedding dresses since 1998, and they have eight (count 'em, eight!) in-house seamstresses who work side-by-side with the bride.  


"It is very important for the bride to feel confident about the type of alterations she envisions for her gown before she purchases it, and we have many options available to her so she does," The Perfect Dress says. "Our work speaks for itself!"


Here's a glimpse at how the store has taken some "beautiful befores" to "happily ever afters."


Psst! You can check out more of their work at the blog: www.theperfectdressutah.blogspot.com
