After living in Seattle I just can’t shake my love of all things Nordstrom. I was recently down at the Park Meadows store and discovered the Wedding Suite. The Suite carries a number of lines from different designers with a price range of $160 to $3,300. Plus on top of your gown they can help you with bridesmaid dresses, suits for the men, and accessories.

This dress is by Tadashi Shoji. Just gorgeous and only $548.

This simple textured gown from Nicole Miller is also fabulous!

And my personal favorite …

You probably saw a few of Matthew Williamson’s designs adorning the guests at Prince William and Princess Kate’s wedding, but did you know about his bridal collection?

Beautiful does not sufficiently describe his gowns! Take a look for yourself at his wedding and bridesmaids dresses.

“A woman truly feels beautiful when she recognizes that she is exquisite the way she already is: a wonderful, unique, and exceptional individual.” – Yuliya Raquel, owner and designer of IGIGI.

I was recently watching a rerun of Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss, and couldn’t help feeling so upset for the bride who couldn’t find a dress that fit her properly. It got me to thinking about designers who specialize in dresses for the curvy bride, and I came across Yuliya Raquel’s IGIGI designs which can be found in several stores across the country. Not only does she make everything from everyday wear to bridal gowns, but her designs are SUPER cute and it’s featured on real plus-sized models!

Take a look at what she offers.
