being a princess one day wearing a dream dress and we have a fabulous designer here today paula barcelona she does great bridal fashions and we're so excited to talk to her thank you for coming palla so before we get started with you showing us are your fabulous collection we have a little surprise to you we want to show you our wedding fax from way back when i do yes i want you to critique what we every bride thinks they have the most gorgeous dress in the world when they get married no matter how long it's been when i meet people they say my game was high neck long sleeved and a train but they think it was great  big huge brocade of flowers and you are so tiny and petite i think a kind of jewel i never thought about that ok so the flowers get it don't flower get it don't and i guess we get to do right  from my husband's grandmother she unfortunately wasn't at the wedding she passed away a few years before and i was really happy to wear something of hers something you know yes i think that where is the mary and on the right w have beautiful dress i think you look great i love that you pulled your hair back so many brides feel they have to have their hair the way they wear it every day that it's really not true we want to see the face everyone wants to see the bride so i love that your hair was a few years ago or many years ago and i think our tip would be to just be happy enjoy the day don't fret about every hair being in place and worrying that the flowers or whatever are perfect is really about enjoying the day and should we look at this picture and i think we both feel the same way i actually still like it i do know how does it i really am so we did well but let's get to some new dresses now some really doing a lot of flared bottoms whether they are dimensional skirts or flat to the body it's more of a trumpet work this one is a little bit more of a mermaid look because of the looseness and the fullness of the  crystals are just absolutely stunning it's it's you know dramatic without it being too much i think it's just fabulous i really love it what do you say about girls who say they can't wear strapless well if it did it properly everyone can w ok ok so you see so many girls pulling up their dresses all night exactly didn't fit right when we fitted dress we actually put a belt inside which was so big gallon is sung to the belt and the belt it depends on the store ok we sell stores i do a lot of custom private work too but the stewards it's up to them am working with the person who's doing the alterations and when they would like to pick it up at the end because they may be for two anyway maybe traveling they may want want to pick it up early right it's all different there's a certain point to remember definitely certain areas of the country actually do portraits a month before the wedding and right or thread is displayed at the wedding so that can have to be done six weeks ahead of time writing you have to have them everywhere not to lose too much weight i mean it's crazy everyone looks beautiful you've been working hard all year that last month just enjoy that's draped troll so there's a little to mention there ok it's a lot of detail and belts are really in part i would write yeah i mean i think that's fabulous many times we're doing silver but now we're starting to get the gold influence ok and as you can see this is the gold in shadow and it's just beautiful piece of ivory so nicely we're we're looking at shorter dresses to start ok there's a lot of destination weddings you do have rights ok it depends on on the girl even though a girl may be a little bit heavier they still have a lot of tone to their skin and they still look beautiful that's right that's true it doesn't matter that th i'm called off that would be very interesting question have you ever designed a dress for a bride and then as the time went on she was calling off the wedding calling on the wedding where the have a great story ok let's hear great i had a bride that we were doing were to the process nine months a month before her wedding her former boss resurfaced and wanted to marry her so when she was coming her final fittings she say i don't know which one i'm going to marry so the mum i said to the mother she really telling me this are true this is true and even i'm afraid she's going to have a nervous breakdown i don't  wow that's gives a different feeling it's still a wedding gown it's not screaming color but there's just the hand and it makes the lace it punches the lace up exactly like i like this with a lighter lining so you'll be able to see all of the detailing of the trellis of the flowers movies my husband i go to movies like once a week at least we watch i watch t v in the middle and i get an idea i watch turner classic and i'll see a top something i might have done in the seventy's or the eighty's and said you know what it's time to bring it back he hosted the daytime emmy awards so we did this gorgeous it was paying and like a pineapple color iridescent tappa it was it was beautiful and it looked like she was just wrapped in the fabric and then i did this real funky slip because she had to show her shoes she's going to show in my shoes so wait when she flipped her dress up i actually did bias in the same color on a white petticoat great all that those details  i mean we're so impressed i mean it's unbelievable i know i just did her girl in baltimore ok and she's not married yet i hope she doesn't get upset to tell a story baltimore in richmond richmond virginia ok and she says i'm getting married surprise i dig gold tool hanging up the bottom and she didn't know she didn't know so i got any attacks from her yesterday towel it saying that i was the barrister i knew how to do a vegas trial well sheriff just so th very fitted throughout the body but then it's flared at the bottom and this is very figure flattering to a lot of body types granbury and they always like to make it really tight under the turkish but you must be careful because you can't go to the lace is lying right on your body ok and that's very very popular now we're starting to build up necklines again so this is one of the books that's really popular what kind of they all would you recommend with something like this  and tricks about the fashions we're talking about so i just what would you advise the brides out there like what is something that they may not know or think about like it could be something so simple as you know we always say take a take along a baby white because you to keep keep away from here your gown away from the pets a lot of times the pets feel all of the excitement like been going on in the house and they will do something  ok it's not to give you go up so you can inspect your skin should not touch i actually teach at the fashion institute of technology when i take the students to their library we wear gloves and no one's allowed to touch  so she came they said if you can get a dress over the christmas holidays will let you wear it because they didn't think it would happen so you get a phone call where you make a dress for quote for the movies i go absolutely so we had it unzipped and i had to fall one of the soap operas and all my children we had to do two dresses and they looked alike and one had to rip apart so we actually tasted the dress together because when the girl when the actors grabbed it it all had to break apart so it's a movement yeah exactly it's so lovely a lot of there are a lot of women out there who dreamt of this day since they were you know little girls and this is the vision they probably had when i think i think you're probably right such a good time that's like a dream come true for all girls i think i mean where can you go and try on wedding gowns and nobody has now i have and use feel amazing it's a special if you put it on and you just you feel different right i think it just changes your whole mood really really on well when i went on a bright i was taught by i was mentored by someone who was in sales and she was sixteen years old she came to work for me at sixty five and she said put what you think she should jeans it's not a t shirt right it's some please have an i do have an open mind look thinner a part of your body you want to hide and we all there sat on my skin on some tweed my whole or white or rb according to their skin tone because some colors wash you out some colors make you a or lack of color makes you look better right so make dinner make you look thinner this is the bra
