Summer is here! Nothing beats Newburgh in the Summer, especially from the viewpoint of our courtyard that’s currently bursting with colorful blooms.
And since our brides shop a year in advance, that means we’re currently consulting Summer 2025 brides and absolutely loving their vibes. We’re seeing lots of ‘classic with a twist’ vibes in effortless-yet-polished styles.
“My experience at HOW was simply perfect. All of the staff was so warm and welcoming as soon as I walked in the door. My stylist Addy was the best to work with. She asked questions to help narrow down until I found my dream dress. She made me feel so beautiful and gave me so many compliments in every single dress I tried on. I cannot recommend HOW enough for all future brides! They are AMAZING.” - Isabela
It’s probably our most commonly asked question: when should I shop for my wedding gown? We will always hold the position that every bride’s journey is different, and the same goes for when that journey unfolds. But in general we do have a few suggested guidelines for when to shop for your gown.
“I still think about the day I picked my dress all the time! House of White offers you the best experience in the area. I came all the way back to my hometown from NYC to find my perfect dress there - no regrets!!” - Tara
Our first event of the Summer is on the horizon, and we couldn’t be more excited! This week we’re welcoming dozens of Anne Barge beauties for an exclusive Anne Barge Trunk Show, happening May 24 - June 2! What’s the best part about taking part in a trunk show, you ask? We’re happy to tell you!
“I loved my appointment at House of White! Hannah was wonderful with helping me to find the perfect dress and veil. House of White also gave me great tips of how to get a stain out of my dress...I accidentally got a grease stain on my dress the day before my wedding! They were so helpful and gracious when I called them in a panic, and their advice got the stain right out!” - Emily
From classic silhouettes to perfect pastels, we’re sharing a few of our favorite bridesmaid gowns from House of White real brides. We love the resurgence of elegant styles with modern twists, such as one shoulder necklines, draping, and flowy fabrics. Neutral tones such as champagne and taupe are taking center stage exuding effortless charm, while soft pastels remain timeless favorites.
Every bride’s journey to her perfect dress is a unique experience. Some make it an entire weekend event with a small entourage and coordinating outfits, while others have simply one helper and a glass of champagne on a quiet weekday — there’s no wrong way to do it! But the one thing that is consistent for every bride are the realities of the bridal industry timeline.
“I had the most amazing experience at House of White! Knowing that we would have a short engagement (9 months), I went dress shopping the week after we got engaged. I knew I wanted a dress that was simple, classic, and elegant. Hannah did a wonderful job helping me pull dresses that met this description but also had me try on dresses of totally different styles. This helped me feel even more confident in choosing the style I initially wanted. I really liked the very first dress I tried on but had another appointment scheduled somewhere else. We ran to the other shop quickly but ended up coming right back to House of White for the first dress! To make the experience even better, Hannah let me know that I could take home the exact dress I fell in love with! This was amazing because I was so concerned about not having enough time for a dress to come in and be altered. Overall a wonderful experience!” - Lauren
We at House of White are particularly pleased to welcome this new month. It has us in the mood for blue skies and fresh greens, the Met Gala, The Derby, and of course…wedding season!
Since our brides typically shop a year ahead of their wedding, we’ve been styling a ton of May 2025 brides. We’re loving the fresh, crisp vibes our brides are craving, whether it’s a floral print or a chic minimalist satin. We’re here for it!
House of White made my experience amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They were so excited for me and you could feel the love from everyone when I found my gown!” - Hallie
It’s official: the bridal fashion industry has debuted their newest collections and we can’t fully express how excited we are about what’s to come. 2025 is looking to be the most fab year yet in terms of Wedding Day Fashion, and we can’t wait to style our brides with all the freshest of looks.
Let’s talk through a few of our favorite trends for 2025!
"I heard about House of White through a family friend who got her wedding dress there and immediately knew I had to go and find my dress. Hannah helped me with everything and answered all my questions. She knew exactly what I wanted when I described my dream dress. I loved the whole experience at HOW and will be forever grateful to them for making me a beautiful bride!” - Savannah
“My experience at House of White was luxurious from the start! I could tell I was in great hands from the moment I walked in. My stylist, Addy, was amazing! I loved the fact that you don’t see the all of the inventory! It took a lot of stress off me. I was able to sit back and enjoy the appointment while Addy picked out dresses I would like based off our conversation at the beginning of the appointment. She did such a good job at listening to exactly what I wanted and the first dress she pulled was the one I said “YES!” to!! From dress shopping to the “first look,” they made me feel special the whole time! I cannot recommend House of White enough!” - Emilee
April has arrived! And we can’t help but get swept up in all the Springtime vibes. Bring on the blue skies, candy colored manicures, and warm weather wedding inspo.
“House of White is hands down the BEST place to go for all your bridal needs!! Everyone and everything is perfect! My stylist- Hannah was so easy to work with & she truly listened to my comments and likes/dislikes and found my perfect dress!! The turn around time was faster than i expected & they were so easy to contact for an appointment. HOW worked around my schedule to get my fitting done since I lived 2 hours away! I can’t say enough good things about everyone at HOW!!” - Delaney
At House of White, we’ve been styling brides and guiding them through the process of getting dressed for their wedding day for 12 years. Over that time we’ve mastered the art of tackling every bride’s question, concern, and query one could possibly think of. A common question that’s come up consistently for the past 12 years is how to handle bridal weight loss…i.e., how can I order a gown a year before my wedding if I plan to lose weight?
“This was the first thing I did after getting engaged haha. I went to House of White just expecting this to be only the beginning of the “hunt” for my perfect dress and I ended up leaving with one that day! I felt no pressure and didn’t feel rushed. I had my parents, Nic’s mom and sister, and my maid of honor join me. We got a bottle of champagne and had a blast! I tried on every possible style I wanted. House of White really catered to us and I had a wonderful experience, even through to the dress preservation.” - Dana
