Fall and Spring and what they bring...


So, everybody knows that normal clothes change with the season. Right before fall, fall clothes come out. Right before spring (or in our case in Minnesota, when it is still frigidly cold and depressing out) spring clothes come out. That's how it works.

From time to time, I hear from brides that are concerned to hear that the dress they love is from a Fall collection, and they are getting married in the Summer, or the dress is Spring and they are getting married in the Winter, etc.

What people don't realize is that bridal is its own special world, and so the seasonal thing doesn't have any bearing. Since you have to order your gown months ahead of time anyway, this should make sense, but I thought I would just put it out there since the concern seems so strangely common.

Bridal fashion has two seasons, Spring and Fall. Some designers put out a collection only once a year, but many have both Spring and Fall collections( some even do previews, so you could see a Fall preview, then Fall, then pre-Spring, then Spring... it can be a little silly!). Spring collections are usually larger, and it's just a bigger deal. Fall will have some great new things, but not as many, and you aren't as likely to see something earth shattering and new.

So, don't worry about what season your dress is- if you love it, then the timing is just right.
