Toronto Bride

We have a beautiful bride, Sarah, who was married earlier this month in Canada. Archeo in the Distillery District of Toronto served as a unique urban location for the wedding. We absolutely LOVE Sarah in her “Evangeline” gown!  (Love Knots Wedding Photography)

Grenadier is from the new Spring 2014 La Fleur by Anne Barge collection. The Knot’s “Wedding Fashion Review” named Granadier as a top choice for Architecturally inspired styles – a key trend in bridal fashion! Grenadier is designed in a silk tissue taffeta with a striking all over herringbone pattern on an Aline silhouette.

Attend one of our Summer Trunk Shows for your opportunity to preview Grenadier before it is in stores! (Select Anne Barge retailers will feature the Sp14 collection at scheduled Trunk Show events. All upcoming events can be viewed under the Trunk Show tab on our Home page).

Perhaps something sassy but sweet to wear at your rehearsal dinner. Or a sophisticated but saucy number as an end of night dress change at the wedding reception. These short dresses by Anne Barge allow you to stand out as the bride as you also show off your personality!

The Chicago wedding took place at The Wit hotel as the couple favored its eclectic and modern vibe. The couple included many personal touches to make their wedding unique. Details we LOVE:

  • Their “first look” of each other on the day was through a Japanese shoji door which lent itself for wonderful shadow photography!
  • Several table numbers had special meaning, for example: Table 10 … signified the number of days the couple would honeymoon in Bora Bora.
  • Morning After Gift Bags for guests included Bloody Mary mix, mini bottles of vodka, tabasco sauce, Advil, and water. Best idea ever!!

With Red Carpet season coming to a close- we fell in love with many gowns and stars on the runway. Oscar winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence shown bright this season- and we could not be more thrilled to be featured as the inspired wedding gown from her red carpet couture!

The stunning Anne Barge gown Margaux from the Fall 2013 Collection was featured in the Celebrity Aisle Style in the newest Brides Magazine. She is part of the Le Fleur collection and her sophisticated taffeta a-line silhouette suits any wedding venue! I just love her fitted corset-like bodice and stitching detail. Her detachable belt is the perfect accent to cinch that waistline! We hope you enjoy Margaux as much as we (and Bride’s magazine) do! Happy Friday!
