Published! Latter Day Bride 2012

I am so excited to have Brooke and Joey's fun wedding featured in the 2012 Latter Day Bride Magazine. To find out where you can pick up this little beauty, go here!

Gwen + Justin: Engaged

You know those kinds of couples who are so perfect for each other, who can communicate with just one glance and you can tell just by the way they look at each other that they are madly in love? That would be Gwen and Justin. Their relationship is so comfortable, so easy. Which, of course, made my job easy :) 

We started out overlooking Provo (although, the inversion kept us from actually seeing anything ...) where Gwen and Justin's relationship first started and the spot of many significant moments in their relationship, including the proposal ...

Then we took a short recess before resuming our photo adventure at none other than my favorite restaurant of allllll time, Pizzeria 712!

Stephanie + Seth: Engaged

Photographing Stephanie and Seth's engagement pictures was so much fun! From the moment they stepped out of the car, I knew I was in for a treat. Not only are they ridiculously good looking, their chemistry together is amazing. Thanks Stephanie and Seth for such a great photo shoot!

O Christmas Tree

We've had the Christmas tree up since before Thanksgiving (I'm a rebel, I know) and it has brought us so much fun! My little one loves to re-arrange the ornaments while the kitty acts as the watch guard. Perhaps one of these days I'll get one of my girl actually looking at the camera but let's be honest ... a glowing tree v. mom with a camera in your face? We know who will win that battle 10 times out of 10.

Love

No holds and all sales final – come ready to buy

Most gowns are suited for street sizes 4-12

We only do this once a year, so now is the time

Space is limited; only one or two key decision makers/guests per bride

We love our gowns and treat them with the best of care, so you can be assured you are getting your dream dress at a coveted price.

Want to know how sought-after this sale is? Last year, the Alta Moda staff arrived an hour early to find there were already a couple dozen brides lined-up outside the doors. That’s how much you need to be at this sale.

Come early, wear a warm coat and bring hot cocoa or coffee to warm up with. Doors will open at exactly 10 a.m., and you’ll be welcomed into the shop to stay warm and cozy as you wait for your consultation. Once inside, your name will be put on a list in order of the line/arrival so you can find a seat and wait for your name to be called– no fuss, and no need to hold your place!

Consultations will be limited to 40 minutes. We’ll be running many more fitting rooms than usual to help get you in your dream dress as quickly as we can. And just because it’s a sample sale, it doesn’t mean you’re on your own. You’ll each get an experienced consultant from start to finish. They know all the gowns (by name and inside and out), all the tricks, and how to make sure you are beyond thrilled. Only four gowns can be initially selected, but your consultant will guide you and make sure you try on the perfect styles until you find the one.
