The Aisle New York – Discounted Couture Wedding Gowns
This guest post is brought to you by the lovely Tami Brown of Fabulously Wed. She’ll be guest blogging here on a regular basis, so keep your eye out for her wonderful posts!
You’re engaged! It’s the most exciting time of your life. One of the first things most brides begin to do is search for “THE” dress. You know the one that makes your heart go pitter patter. It has the perfect silhouette, was created by the designer you love and you can literally close your eyes and see yourself sauntering down the aisle in that dress on wedding day as happy as you have ever been. After all, you are the epitome of high fashion and you’re known for shutting it down everywhere you go. But let’s face it. Shopping for high fashion in today’s recession has even the most couture savvy gal tightening up
her purse strings.
her purse strings.
Let’s take Miss Priss for example. She has her eye on a FABULOUSLY exquisite Oscar de la Renta wedding gown. Alas, the price tag is astronomically outside of her budget. She considered waiting until next season when she can catch it on sale but quickly learns that wedding gowns are seasonal and oftentimes difficult to source once the next season rolls around. The price is not very negotiable. And being plowed down at Filene’s Basement in the rare hope of scoring said gown isn’t exactly the rite of passage she hopes for. After a handful of failed attempts at negotiating down, Miss Priss feels the only way she will see herself in this Oscar de la Renta masterpiece is by closing her eyes and daydreaming. Until now… This fall, a team of world-renowned and reputable fashion industry insiders are unveiling the perfect solution.
Enter The Aisle New York.
Bridal experts David Yassky (celebrity fashion editor and stylist), Shara Levy (lawyer-turned-unofficial wedding planner), Deborah Moses (former editor of Elegant Bride) and Mark Ingram (owner of The Bridal Atelier in New York City) have combined their knowledge of bridal fashion and love of weddings to give brides around the world access to wedding dress designers at discount prices through this amazing platform.
The Aisle New York is the first membership-only luxury e-commerce website and online magazine that showcases the most exclusive brands in bridal in limited engagement, timed-sale boutiques at rock bottom prices!
