A company representative will be here to answer all your wedding and style questions. This exquisite dress collection can be seen in Brides, InStyle Weddings, Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot.

The new collection will be previewed all day Friday and Saturday, starting at 11am til 7pm both days, appointment preferred.

"The Dressing Room fills the void in finding the perfect, made-to-order dress," Ferrara says. "I opened my boutique because I know women want a fashion-forward, yet classic look that can easily be worn by all brides, bridesmaids moms and flower girls."

Bridal fashion trends have moved away from each member looking identical and The Dressing Room based its philosophy on this. The customization options available at The Dressing Room are endless and allow the brides to be considerate of her bridesmaids and ensure a beautiful coordinated look.

Size charts are available for each designer and all of the dresses are made in standard sizes from 0-32.

The Dressing Room is located in St. Petersburg at 2430 Central Avenue. The phone number is 727.323.ROOM (7666). For additional information, visit www.thedroom.com.

Julie and Adam Are Married at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota

We were so blessed with the honor of being a part of Julie and Adam’s amazing wedding. This couple is so in love and could barely keep their hands off each other!

Thank you to Staci with Unique Event Design for providing the following description of their wedding.

Julie and Adam didn’t want your ‘run of the mill’ beachy, Florida wedding. With an unexpected color scheme of deep purple, orange, and lime green accents, they created a sophisticated, modern interpretation of the tropical, Florida style. The Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group took inspiration from her wedding gown and styled Julie's hair and makeup to resemble that of a 1920's Hollywood starlett. Her hair had a timeless, sophisticated look with a low updo accented with a flower by Shavon's Wedding Silks. By selecting the Healing Garden at the Ritz Carlton Sarasota, for their ceremony, their wedding captured the outdoor climate, but with a tailored look. Orange rose petals and purple orchids graced the aisle, as Julie and Adam united their love with a sand ceremony. Rattan fans were provided for each guest to ease the Florida sun, but it was a surprisingly cool and breezy day, a true treat for their guests, some of which traveled from up north to join in the celebration.

Julie and Adam’s guests were treated to a trolley ride to the Cocktail Hour and Reception by Siesta Trolley, which took place at the Ritz Carlton Beach Club. As the guests entered the Sunset Terrace for the Reception, there were greeted by an impressive display of sand and starfish escort cards. Entering the Reception area, the color scheme and tropical look was completely evident. Dark purple linens, white garden chairs, and textured orange napkins created the modern look that Julie and Adam were seeking. Beneva Flowers used exotics such as lilies and orchids to bring in the tropical feel and loads of texture. Each guest was even treated to a single purple orchid at their place setting. Touches of white finger starfish and shells were present through the terrace. On the cake table, we raised the cake on a glass platform, and fashioned a ‘beach’ beneath it. Sand, shells, and purple orchids below the cake were the perfect compliment to their all white confection, complete with two white chocolate starfish on top, representing the happy newlyweds. We even wrote “Julie (heart) Adam” in the sand in front of the cake. It was details like this, that made this wedding truly unique.

As the Bride and Groom enjoyed their first dance, the sun set behind them and reflected the same color scheme that was present in their wedding. The guests partied into the night and also enjoyed an after party with comfort foods of grilled cheese and pizza!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of your wedding. It was a true joy! We wish you happiness for a long and loving life together!

Sarah and Brian are married at the Renaissance Vinoy!

Sarah and Brian hosted their beautiful wedding at The Renaissance Vinoy in St. Petersburg. I really enjoyed working with this couple and their wonderful families. Sarah and Brian welcomed me into their wedding as a friend and it made this wedding all the more special to me. The couple chose to incorporate many traditional Jewish customs into their ceremony with a gorgeous chuppah, and the signing of a ketubah before they took their vows. This is a wonderful moment for the bride and groom and their families as they all witness the traditional values of Jewish culture and the meaning of marriage. Best wishes to the happy couple!

Nikki and Josh were so great to work with during their engagement session in Lakeland! Although they don't live there now, they both grew up and met there and thought it would be fun to incorporate some familiar locations in their shoot. The couple is planning their February wedding at Lange Farm in Dade City! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Kathryn and Shawn are Married at the Sheraton Sand Key and Clearwater Yacht Club

Kathryn and Shawn had a beach ceremony at the Sheraton Sand Key. Their reception was held at the Clearwater Yacht Club. We had a portrait session on Kathryn's parents sailboat and they chartered a sailing yacht for a week for the honeymoon. Another really cool thing was when the Clearwater Yacht Club fired off a canon to let guests know it was time for dinner. Congratulations Kathryn and Shawn!

Cori and Robert Married at La Playa Beach & Golf Resort

Cori and Robert had a beautiful ceremony on the beach of La Playa Beach & Golf Resort. I just love that Cori selected navy blue as her primary wedding color because it really set off her crystal blue eyes.
