With the Meghan Markle effect in full swing, this season has many exciting bateau necklines to try on. Read more about why this style has enchanted the world once again below:

Like an off-the-shoulder neckline, the boat neck is a subtle, classic way to show off the skin around your collar bones. It’s slightly elongated, but also appears in different lengths. While some more daring gowns feature tip-of-the-shoulder iterations, many stop just past the shoulder’s midway point. The gist? There’s no one right interpretation of this style, which makes it a versatile wedding dress detail that caters to many brides. If you’re looking for coverage, consider a wedding dress like Meghan Markle’s.

The neckline’s versatility, in addition to its ability to pair prettily with all kinds of go-to embellishments (think mesh, crystals, and lace), make it a trend definitely that’s here to stay. Learn more about boat neck necklines, aka bateau necklines, compliments

A-Line wedding dresses are flattering on a variety of body types. Discover why this bridal style continues to bring the “Wow!” factor every season below:

A-line silhouette and plunging sweetheart neckline

The A-line dress was one of the first design innovations in wedding gowns, introduced soon after women started shedding corsets and dressing up in garments that embraced their natural body shape. Since then, the appeal of this silhouette has only grown. It still continues to be a favorite among brides, with the simple pattern helping them create a sexier look with the illusion of curves. The strapless bodice, has also been on the scene for a while now, but modified sweetheart necklines with a plunging section in the center are a novelty, that only bold brides are ready to consider. However, when the silhouette with long sleeves is updated with the strapless plunging sweetheart neckline, the result is a gown that is glamorous, interesting and most of all, stunning.

Shop NYB&G For Tea Length Wedding Dresses

Shorter bridal styles continue to be a popular and cooler choice for many brides. You can show off your sensational footwear and enjoy the ultimate freedom on the dance floor with a shorter wedding gown. Kenneth Winston has a gorgeous line of tea length bridal gowns that we absolutely adore. We invite you to visit our expansive bridal salon at your convenience (no appointment necessary!) to see this beautiful selection for yourself. Learn more about the advantages of a shorter dress below:

And since I mentioned practicality, in case you still have doubts, try on a floor-sweeping gown before you go for a short one. It will help you appreciate all its true benefits.

A short wedding dress is so much more comfortable to move and dance in, not to mention the toilet experiences — no assistance needed, thank you!

You get to show off your fabulous shoes (a short dress actually allows over-the-top shoes to be seen, so have them covered in crystals, sequin, feathers or rhinestones — the more spectacular, the better).

You get to show off your sexy legs — this requires intensive workouts in the months before the big event, but hey, you want to expose killer legs from under that hemline, right?

A short dress will definitely cost you less than a long one and, on top of that, you can wear it again on special occasions.

Should you get married abroad — as many brides do today — you will find it a breeze to transport a teeny dress compared to a fluffy meringue one.

If you decide to go for a short wedding gown you can choose between a tea-length (that’s when the hemline falls around or below your knees), or a mini (a sexier length that ends above your knees or skims the top of your knees).

Kenneth Winston, style ga2300: All-over Chantilly Lace defines this ultra-feminine tea length wedding dress. Broader lacy straps offer eye-catching support. The slightly scalloped hem provides the perfect finishing touch. Available sizes: 2-28. Available colors: Ivory/Silver (pictured above).

We Are Your Bridal Style Headquarters

It is always fun to see a bride who is 100% convinced she knows what dress features she likes and dislikes do a complete 180 when she’s open-minded enough to step out of her comfort zone! Our professional and friendly team of Bridal Consultants at New York Bride & Groom Charlotte has the latest bridal fashion choices on hand so you can experiment until you find your unique bridal style. If you have never considered a tea length wedding dress, we hope you will embrace the opportunity when you visit our salon. Read more about this delightful option below:

Such dresses are ideal solutions for ladies, who have wide hips and for those, who want to create an hourglass shaped figure with it. Still, brides having apple shape figure need to avoid this type of dresses. On the contrary, those having shapely legs can also go for tea length dresses without worrying about creating a wrong look.

The way the wedding is going to be organized also matters when picking a tea length dress. Thus, brides may pick these dresses if the wedding is planned to be organized for daytime or in a casual environment. As for the style inclination, retro glam is the most suitable and exact form that can be picked for combining it with tea length bridal dresses. Read more at Fashionisers

Kenneth Winston, style ga2313: This detailed wedding gown features Embroidered Lace, Organza and Satin for a dramatic entrance. Decadent lacy patterns captivate and enchant. Available sizes: 2-28. Available colors: Ivory (pictured above) and white.

Retro and Vintage Brides Will Love These Styles

From beach weddings to vintage chapels to destination glamour spots and everything in between, tea length wedding gowns may be a new option to discover. We will be thrilled to share with you some of our favorites next time you are in the store. Everyone at New York Bride & Groom looks forward to seeing you soon.

Tea length dresses are a gorgeous alternative to traditional floor length gowns and have become more and more popular as brides have opted to dress to suit their own style, rather than in what others expect them to wear on their wedding day.

When we think of “tea length” dresses, the gathered calf-hitting, circle skirt usually comes to mind — a style which is often puffed out and made full and flirty with the help of a tulle underskirt. Nowadays, however, many designers and brides include skirt lengths such as ballerina and above- and below-the-knee when they think of “tea.” Pencil, pleated, tulip and godet skirts also come under the umbrella of the tea length, meaning that a huge range of styles can be referred to when one describes this alternative style of dress.

We look forward to seeing you and your entire wedding party soon. Our no-appointment policy makes shopping at NYB&G easy, fun and relaxed. Be sure to check out our separate tuxedo rental department while you’re here taking care of your bridesmaids’ dresses at the same time. We also offer a stunning array of accessories to help you put the finishing touches on your day. Come see why New York Bride & Groom is the premier wedding salon in the Charlotte metro region.

Complete the look with matching modern slim fit pants with grosgrain piping on the leg.

Tuxedos have a fascinating history. The following informative posts will give you a good accounting of men’s black-tie fashion.

Expanding Appeal

Remarkably, the greatest chapter in the history of evening wear – and arguably menswear in general – is the era marked by the Great Depression. At a time of extreme financial hardship for so many, the wealthy elite maintained an after-six wardrobe that was not only elegant but sometimes downright decadent. In 1935 a New York Herald Tribune society writer calculated that a “well-attired” New York gentleman’s evening kit could be worth as much as $4,975 once his jewelry and fur coat were accounted for, the equivalent of a staggering $80,000 today. It was this glamorous lifestyle that Hollywood capitalized upon when catering to mainstream America’s desire for inexpensive escapism and in the process elevated the tailcoat and tuxedo to iconic status.

This one is from Vanity Fair:

Soon after its “invention,” in 1886, the tuxedo became the ne plus ultra of formal male attire, and little has changed since.

We Remove The Guesswork

Our goal is to have you looking and feeling your very best. Our tuxedo consultants will make sure there’s no guesswork about your cuff length, neck size, inseam or any other measurement. Our dedication to providing stellar customer service is New York Bride & Groom is Charlotte’s favorite wedding salon.

Don’t Forget to Check Out Our Ladies Tuxedos

We don’t let the men have all the fun when it comes to rocking an extraordinary tuxedo. We also stock a gorgeous collection of women’s designer tuxedos for a super-chic custom look. The “Little Black Tux” line from David Tutera features a range of jaw-dropping, figure-flattering tuxedos for women. Additional details can be found here on our website

To recap: Our tuxedo rental department is sure to contain the perfect suit for every member of the groom’s party. Come browse the suits in our dedicated men’s section and find the perfect complement to the wedding dresss, colors and theme. Don’t forget: No appointment is ever needed, and with five paid tux rentals, the groom’s tux rental is free. We look forward to seeing you soon.
