ashion is an integral part of our culture, and as a result, weddings are as much about the bride’s dress as the ceremony itself. “There is no better feeling than finding that perfect dress for a bride,” says Always & Forever Bridal owner Wendy Gay. “We pride ourselves on providing a great shopping experience for our clients. We always have new stock coming in the door and can find exactly what you’re looking for.” Starting as a seamstress, Wendy has been in the bridal industry for more than 20 years. She has seen trends come and go, but says one thing always remains the same: the importance of the dress. “Trends are now moving away from strapless ruched gowns,” says Wendy. “Sleeves of all lengths and lace are getting a lot more interest right now.” As the only full service bridal salon in HRM, Always & Forever Bridal can help find the perfect attire for not only the bride, but also the entire bridal party. The shop carries bridesmaid, mother of the bride, flower girl and prom dresses. With a wide selection containing hundreds of dresses, the shop is the perfect destination for some bridal or special occasion bonding time. “We can dress the whole wedding party. It takes a lot of the stress out of planning when you can minimize the number of calls and stops you need to make,” says Wendy. Always & Forever also has a wide selection of wedding accessories, including cake toppers, guest books, headpieces and veils. The store carries an extensive collection for men, which includes tuxedos and linen for destination weddings. The relaxed look of
linen is breathable and cool in hot climates, but is also perfect for a less formal outdoor wedding. A unique feature of Always & Forever is the ability to try on a tuxedo inhouse and walk out with one on the same day for last minute black tie events. With a wide selection of formal tuxedos and suits, as well as casual wear, everyone will look their best for a special event. At Always & Forever, dresses are ordered to the bride's sizing requirements, including plus sizes. This focus on getting the perfect fit for every bride means that dress shopping should happen six months to a year before the big day. “Brides need
to remember that it’s their special day. Don’t let other people sway you from what you love, and keep an open mind. The dress you love in photos isn’t always perfect when you try it on,” says Wendy. If you are looking for that perfect dress or suit give Always & Forever a call, with impeccable service and exceptional products it’s the perfect place to find expert guidance.
