Brides Across America



It's that time of the year again for Brides Across America! Glitz is teaming up with the charity in support of our troops and their families. The event gives Military Brides the chance of finding and getting their dream dress because often times, Military Brides don't always get their dream wedding. Some brides have to give up their wedding due to their fiancees being deployed quickly. In other cases, brides have a civil ceremony and then wait years for their fiancee to return home to finally have their wedding day. Glitz is honored to be part of this wonderful charity. For more information on the event, please visit http://www.bridesacrossamerica.com/ and Glitz's Facebook event page. Also, be sure to check out the qualification requirements. If interested in participating in this event please call us at 615-646-9964. Also, if you are interested in donating a wedding gown, please call Glitz Bridal for more information.

"you can shorten it and wear it again..." part 1


I often hear women discussing just HOW any bridesmaids dresses they have sitting in their closet.

27 Dresses is one of my favorite movies. I alway find so funny when the sales associate tells the bride "you can always shorten it and wear it again"


I often hear brides say that they want their girls to be able to wear their dresses again. Honestly, most of us do not have an event where we will need to wear the dresses again, but it is nice to have the option when needed. I think (and hope) we can all agree most brides want their bridesmaids to look and feel beautiful, and if the occasion presented itself, wear their dress again.

But...
It can be difficult to find a dress that both fits the theme of the wedding and the body shape of ten of your closest friends.

Luckily there are options...
...and we can help you.


A few things I have noticed when brides are picking out their bridesmaid dresses:
1. it's overwhelming
2. its seems to be nearly impossible to satisfy everyone.


So how do you deal with this?
If a bride is feeling overwhelmed by the hundreds of dress options, we suggest taking a step back and having someone else picking out a few styles for you. All of our Bridal Sales Associates are very skilled in picking out options for you. We know which styles are flattering on which body types. We are able to take YOUR vision and find the perfect dress for you. Of course, you are also welcomed to browse through our dresses...we're just here to help in any way possible.

If it seems that everyone has a different opinion, we suggest for the bride to pick out a few styles they love, and have their bridesmaids try them on.

we're obsessed

We are loving the current bridal trends. From our newest dresses to accessories that personalize you're look....we're obsessed. really, really obsessed.

Hair Accessories
From veils, flowers, headbands, feathers...we love it all. The perfect headpiece will excentuate you're dress and complete the bridal look. Here are a few of our favorites:
All Malis Henderson

Reception and Exit Dresses
We love this trend for so many reasons! It is a great way to change your look, be a little more comfortable, add a little fun to the reception! What girl doesn't want two dresses?
Clarisse, Allure Evenings, Sherri Hill, Nika

Sashes
Like hair accessories, adding a sash to your dress personalizes the look and takes everything up a notch. We are especially loving them on lace dresses.



Jessica Lynn Accessories, Allure, Enzoni, Jessica Lynn Accessories

Our New Bridal Stock (we know it is necessarily a trend, but we are still obsessed!)
Sottero and Midgley

Happy Shopping!

Prom season is in full swing at Glitz! Currently we have tons of beautiful prom dresses in stock. If you don't see something you love in the store, we are happy to order it for you!

Frequently asked questions regarding prom/pageant dresses:
Q: Do I have to purchase the stock piece, or can you order me a new dress?
A: You are welcomed to purchase the dress from the floor or we can order you a new one if it is in stock.

Q: How long does it take to order a dress:
A: If the dress is in stock at the designer we can have it at Glitz in about a week. Otherwise, the designer will give us a specific shipping date for your dress.

A: Yes! We can order any dresses from the designers we sale.

If you have any additional questions, please contact us at 615-646-9946.

Here are a few of some of our favorite dresses from Prom 2011:

Sherri Hill
This dress is beautiful in person! The detail is wonderful. It has a "princess-y" feel with out being overly perfect. It will be great for a girl who likes the ball-gown look without wearing a ball-gown.

Sherri Hill
One of our prettiest dresses in the store! Along withe blush, we also have it in red, black on black, and nude on black!

Nika
This is a show-stopper. Elegant and simple, yet fun. Our staff is OBSESSED with this dress.
La Femme
We have tons of dresses with beautiful backs, such as this La Femme dress. We love the color and the flower strap!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

Hello Ladies!
It's been a while...and we apologize.

January and February happen to be two very exciting months at Glitz. Why? (hint: it's not the freezing temperatures nor the snow)

We LOVE the first two months of the year because....
#1: We get to meet tons of beautiful, newly engaged brides!



#2: Prom season starts (currently in full swing). For prom season our store becomes transformed into a kaleidoscope of beautiful sparkly gowns. What can we say...we love the glitz.


#3: Our staff quadruples in size...we have tons of lovely ladies who are excited to help you find the perfect gown for any occasion!


#4: Warmer days remind us that spring is so close.



Along with all the prom and bridal fun comes extended store hours.
Monday-Saturday: 10-6
Sunday: 1-5

Currently we are strongly requesting bridal appointments for weekends.
