Store of the Week: Sophia's Bridal

We asked the staff of Sophia’s Bridal, Tux, and Prom all about their Indianapolis bridal shop and what’s currently trending in the Indiana bridal market:

What wedding dress trends are hot right now in your area?
We have a very “midwest” bride, so we do a lot of lace wedding dresses. Our brides seem to be doing more casual weddings and loving outdoor venues. We love adding custom details to make the gown one of a kind!

What’s the number one thing your brides are asking for?
Our brides are swooning over back details lately. They love adding something a little fun in the back! Our brides love deep backs, illusion backs, beading and lace details, basically anything to give it a little personality and punch!

How do you make the bride’s experience memorable?
A Sophia’s bride is showered with love from the moment she walks in the door. We adore working extremely closely with them, guiding them through the dress buying experience, and even throughout their entire wedding planning time. We also love gifting them their very own “wifey” tank top when they find their perfect gown! We keep in contact with them until the wedding helping with them find vendors, accessories, tuxedos, etc!

What’s the most surprising request you’ve ever gotten from a bride?
Having unique brides is always exciting! We’ve had brides looking for bright colored wedding dresses for their Mardi Gras themed wedding, add layers of camouflage chiffon into a gown to show off their love of hunting, and we’ve FaceTimed with people across the world to help them make their final decision! We love a challenge and adore making our bride’s dreams come true!

What’s your favorite wedding story from one of your brides?
We’ve had so many amazing wedding stories from our brides, but one that sticks out is a bride planning a surprise wedding for all her family and friends! We love that they were putting so much thought into the day, and thinking so much of the special people in their lives instead of just themselves. They were such a sweet couple who were so excited to spend their life together!

What is the best advice you would give a bride as she is shopping for her wedding gown?
Our biggest piece of advice would be to come in with an open mind and the readiness to actually fall in love with a gown. A lot of people come in to “look around” and are surprised when they find “the dress” on the first visit! It’s kinda like falling in love with your fiancé – you aren’t necessarily looking for it or ready for it, but it happens!
