Browns Bride, one of my favourite bridal boutiques in London is scheduled to have their 2010 bridal sample sale on Sunday, 31^st January 2010 from 10:00 to 18:00.

Beautiful designer wedding dresses will be represented with up to 50% discount. Knowing the high standards of Browns Bride and the way they look after their designer gown, I am sure that all the dresses will be as good as new. The other great thing I love about bridal sample sale is that you get to take home your wedding dress the same day! So if you like the sound of all these, I suggest you mark this date in your diary and plan an enjoyable wedding shopping day at Browns Bride.

Oscar de la Renta Bridal 2010

dolceSPOSA — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:17:20 +0000

Oscar de la Renta is another designer that we absolutely adore here at Dolce Sposa. His bridal gown creations are always very elegant, stylish and sophisticated. And this is especially true for the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2010 bridal collection. The designs are gorgeous and I personally love the special touches, textures and elements added to each piece that many brides-to-be will also surely love. The use of fabric, striking coloured belts, ruffles, embroidery, boleros and hats are just fabulous!!

Choosing my favourite Oscar de la Renta wedding dress for this season was tough since they are all beautiful in their own ways. I will pick 12N25 if I want the drama queen look and 12E12 for the Princess Grace Kelly look. But if I really have to choose one, I would pick 12n27 on the fourth row for its timeless, feminine and very romantic look.

Here are my Top 10 Oscar de la Renta bridal picks:

Left to right

1^st row – These are perfect wedding dresses for a striking and dramatic look. 12n25 Silk taffeta strapless sweetheart neckline gown with draped bodice and 12n23 Silk taffeta strapless gown with ruffle detail.

2^nd row – Simple bridal silhouettes balanced with fun details all throughout. 12N27 White crinkle silk organza ribbon cut strapless gown. 12E12 Cutton tulle embroidered strapless gown.

3^rd row – Classy, conservative yet sexy wedding dresses to compliment and show your curves. 12n45 Windsor silk blue taffeta backless gown with ivory guipure overlay. 12n30 Ivory silk duchess satin strapless gown with ruched side detail.

4^th row – These two bridal gowns by Oscar de la Renta are on my top favourites. They are very romantic, timeless, beautiful and absolutely bridal. 12N27 is a silk organza strapless embroidered gown with silk tulle bodice. 12E12 Cutton tulle embroidered strapless gown.

5^th row – Classic with a twist. 12N27 Silk organza and tulle embroidered strapless gown paired with silk double chiffon bolero 12N70. 12E04 Tulle strapless gown with satin organza embroidery matched with tulled ruched bolero 12N52.

We love his well-rounded collection of wedding dresses that suits different styles and type of brides-to-be. I am sure there will be one perfectly suited for you so check out his collection and we hope you enjoy shopping for your dream wedding dress.
