Our bridal, prom, formal wear, and tuxedo customers voted A Beautiful Bride and Tuxedo into The Knot magazine's Best of Weddings editions for 2008 and 2009, and the Reno Gazette Journal's The Best of Reno edition for excellence in customer service and selection.

We carry everything needed for the bride, bridesmaids, mothers, flowergirl, ring bearer and men, along with the latest prom, JA, gala, and formal fashions for women and teens.

Our wedding gown prices vary from $300 to $3000, depending on designer and style. All are far superior in quality, craftsmanship, fashion, and beauty then any gown you'll find in the big box corporate stores.

Reno/Sparks veteran owned and operated ... not an impersonal big box bridal chain store that sends your money to corporate headquarters and out of the local economy.

Because we're local, we carry unique designers and styles that our area brides ask for rather than a few styles that some out-of-touch bridal chain store would require us to carry.

Visa, MasterCard, Discovercard, American Express, and layaways are accepted.

We're first in pleasing brides.^TM

Our Bridal Fashion Designers
Our fashion designers are showcased in national and local bridal magazines such as The Knot, Modern Bride, Premier Bride, Wedding Affair, Brides, Sacramento Bride, Teen, and Prom. Our styles range from simple to simply amazing and include:

•  Traditional
•  Ball Gown
•  Couture
•  Destination
•  LDS and modest
•  Mermaid
•  Fit and flair

We are the only authorized bridal salon in Reno/Sparks/Tahoe for Pronovias, La Sposa, Eternity, Casablanca, and James Clifford.
Some local bridal shops may say they can get these designer gowns for you at lower prices, but they're putting your happiness at risk through the unethical business practice of trans-shipping cheap gowns from other shady shops located out of the area. The designer will give you no guarantee or assistance with problems on gowns purchased in this manner, even if the bridal shop says it will. We strongly recommend that you avoid these shops and Internet shopping or you're headed for frustration and heartache. We maintain the highest standards of business ethics and integrity. Our prices are the minimum allowed by the designers.
