A wedding may be all about a marriage, but let’s be honest for a minute – the magic of the day starts with the dress. One of the decisions (if not THE decision) that Calgary brides spend the most amount of time mulling over, it’s also one of the most fun! Or am I alone in that? Although some brides experience a fair amount of anxiety over choosing the dress of their dreams (it is hard to choose a dress you’ve only dreamt about) , Cameo & Cufflinks is one of those special salons, a Calgary bridal salon that helps melt anxieties away. Full service with a huge selection, it’s about making you look and feel amazing, not just selling you a dress.
My FAVOURITE part about blogging about exhibitors at The Wedding Fair is getting to go over all the smallest details – you can look at a booth, you can look at bridal fashion, you can do it all, but until your girl sits you down and helps you define what it is that you actually like about something, it’s hard to make decisions. So as your honourary bridesmaid, let’s take a look at some of the bridal fashions Cameo & Cufflinks was proud to present at the BIG show.

Love this ultra flattering dress – the silhouette and the sweetheart neckline give a girl all the right curves. The delicate overlay give the skirt great texture if you’re looking for something with a bit more punch and paired with the blinged up sash, this look is a total statement maker.
This dress is a great option for a Calgary bride who loves the dramatic look of a full skirt, but isn’t really into the Princess feeling that many full skirt dresses evoke. The black sash is back as a big trend again for 2012 wedding dresses, and I love the long tails of the bow at the back. Paired with this chunky necklace, this is a great option for a modern, chic Calgary bride.
This dress is a nice mix of subtle and splash. The bottom is incredibly flattering (look at that mannequin’s booty!) with the button detailing on the back going all the way down to the flare of the skirt. I am especially in love with the contrast between the sleek and smooth front of the skirt (click on this picture to enlarge it so you can get a better idea), and the huge ruffle on the back. The top is so fun – the small, tight ruffles are a great contrast to the one giant ruffle on the skirt, and will easily give a bust a little boost.
Of course I love this. I love a leap of faith, especially when it comes to fashion. The bottom flows out from the knees, it almost looks likes the swirls of fabric just appear from the skirt. The clean transition from smooth dress to detailed and flourishing is fantastic. To pull it all together, the pop of flair at the top balances what could be a bottom heavy dress. A dress like this calls for very modern make up.
A splash of colour! Yes please – especially when it’s this rustic pink that has made it’s way from invitations to centre pieces to bridal gowns. This sash is such a great way to spice up this classic layered dress. The low back adds a splash of sexy-rexy. I see this dress and this sash and all I can see are soft pink pumps covered in black lace – do you see it too?
