Okay let me start with my name, I'm Denise Case the owner of The Princess Bridal, a bridal shop in Spring,Texas. I opened my shop in November of 2005. I have always loved all things wedding. When I was a teenager I secretly looked at wedding magazines (I just couldn't stop dreaming of weddings). When my Daughter was seven, we started looking at Martha Stewart Wedding, as she got older the rule was we had to look at it together. Opening the shop was a lot of work but its the BEST job I ever had, making dreams come true!

The dangers & cost of buying the most important dress of your life..... on the internet.

When planning a wedding, finding the best deal is often on a bride's priority list.  Therefore, it can be tempting to buy your "dream dress" online for only a fraction of the original cost. However, if you go this route, your so called "dream dress" could turn into a disaster.

Many online websites advertise designer gowns at extremely cheap prices. The websites look legitimate. You see the exact same designer photos of the dress you desire. They sometimes "say" they offer refunds. They may even guarantee quick turn around. Sounds too good to be true, right? Maybe that's because it is.
For the past few years, brides all over the country have been desperate to find their dream designer gown for only pennies, making them the bait of these fraudulent wedding dress designers. Too often, a bride will decide to buy online and when the dress arrives, she is left speechless. Not a good speechless, but a bad speechless, because the dress that showed up on her doorstep two weeks before her wedding was not the dress she ordered. This has become such a huge problem that major news stations have reported on this issue, including CBS and INSIDE EDITION.
These websites that offer designer gowns, often are designers of knockoff dresses that are made with cheap material and no resemblance of designer gowns. Legitimate wedding gown designers do not sell online, but only sale through retail. You are safer visiting bridal salons, instead of buying online. In fact, many designers include information on their websites about authenticity, as well as a list of retailers who sell their gowns.
When you come to our store, not only do you get to see and feel the dresses right in front of you, but you are also being served. Buying online eliminates the special process of finding your dream gown. Don't waste your time shopping online when we're here to help. Not only do we offer gorgeous designer dresses, we also offer advice ranging from accessories to undergarments and correct measurements. Although buying online may seem easier and cheaper, you get a full and better experience when you shop through retail. Don't become prey to these fraudulent designers! Rest assured that you will find a quality, designer wedding dress at The Princess Bridal.
We are a full service store. This means that we have an expert bridal consultant team to spend hours in finding your dress, offer hundreds of samples to try on, offer expert advice, and have customized fittings. First, we offer a one-stop-shop where you can also find headpieces, veils, jewelry, petticoats, shoes, bridesmaid, flowergirl dresses, invitations and accessories. Second, here you can find recommendations for local venues, restaurants, florists, limousines, wedding cakes and more. Third, the price you pay includes free shipping, all the time assisting try-on, all the different sample designs, all the newest samples from a wide range of manufactures, proper measuring, ordering, receiving, quality checking, making sure the dress received is made correctly, pre-fitting, post-fitting, steaming and more. Fourth, once we receive your dress, we can recommend further expert alteration, customizing, adding special details, bustling, temporary storage, and final fitting. Finally, after your wedding, we can assist in repairing a damaged gown, cleaning and gown preservation. Needless to say, the small saving in price does not add up to the true cost of being a full service store. This is why full service stores charge only slightly more than the internet stores. Today is the day you will make one of the most important decisions. Make sure it is done right. Don’t think you are saving some money now only to pay more later. A wedding can be stressful, what with organizing all the vendors; don't add issues by dealing with a company who doesn't care about you personally, whom you have never met and doesn't have a concept of personal service.

Haute Jewels


So you checked off the first thing on your wedding to-do list...buy wedding dress.
Congratulations! However, your quest for your wedding attire doesn't have to be over! You can now start your hunt for accessories.
Finding accessories are like the icing on the cake. They bring your whole look together.
They can make you stand out from all the other brides and what bride doesn't want that?
There are many different accessories that you can choose from that will finish off your beautiful bridal look.
Jewelry is usually the first thing that comes to mind when we think about accessories.
To wear a necklace or not to wear a necklace?
First, look at the neckline of your dress. Is it strapless? With sleeves? Sweetheart? Necklaces work great with strapless dresses because you have more skin showing leaving space for a beautiful pendant. However, it also depends on the beading.
If your dress is blinged out, you may not need a necklace.
A teardrop pendant necklace might emphasize your sweetheart neckline or V-neck.

Maybe you have a lace dress and a simple string of pearls would top it off. To have a stronger vintage effect, try a long strand of pearls.

Perhaps you want to make a bold statement with your jewelry!
You can also show off your back with a gorgeous bridal lariat necklace.
