Formal Gowns

With the summer wedding season fast approaching, it’s time to begin the search for your seasonal wedding attire. Here are a few of our favorite gowns that are perfect summer formal wedding attire.

Dance the night away in this midnight blue gown that’s ideal for a formal summer wedding. The beautiful illusion lace bodice cascades into a shimmering skirt with a modest slip along the side. The dark blue works great for the summer season along with light fabric to keep you cool in the warmer months. 

Stand out from the crowd in this playful printed dress! The gown is ready for any formal wedding with an embellished band around the chest featuring delicate beading. The bold pattern and bright colors are great for summer, along with an airy fabric that’s perfect for outdoor weddings. 

One of our favorite looks for summer formal wedding attire is this beautiful two piece set. We love the deep blue color for a summer wedding, but the long skirt and matching top are also modest enough for a formal event. The top features dainty spaghetti straps with a bow in the back, while the skirt brushes the ground with a slit up the side.

This gown is a work of art! The gorgeous black and white floral pattern is on trend for the season, with a front slit and tied waist. There is an invisible zipper on the bodice along with an open back and criss cross tie detailing. The gown’s fuller skirt is also comfortable and easy to move in throughout the ceremony and reception.

While Gretchen’s Bridal Gallery has one of Indiana’s largest selections of wedding gowns, we also have our own full-service tuxedo & suit department located inside as well. Here are just a few reasons why Gretchen’s is the best place for mens wedding tuxedos.

Jim’s Formal Wear, with who we are proud to partner, has been providing tuxes for over 50 years. Their experts are here to help you every step of the way and are committed to providing the best rental experience in the business.

Not only do they offer affordable mens wedding tuxedos for every style and budget, they also feature all inclusive rental packages including everything from shoes to pocket squares. Packages start at $139.95, and are available in 100’s of colors and styles.

Tuxedos are available for both rent and purchase at our stores. We also offer a selection of suits and tuxedos for the entire wedding party, including a ‘Peanut Butter Collection’ for little boys. Our men’s wedding tuxedos are also entirely customizable. Brides are able to assign colors such as different colored suits for the father of the bride and groomsmen. Once the bride has chosen colors, the party simply has to come in and be sized for a proper fit.

We recommend visiting Gretchen’s Bridal at least three months before the wedding to ensure proper sizing and that your desired selections are in stock.  We also now offer tux-to-door convenience for our customers! Our ‘tux direct’ service allows groomsmen to have their tuxedo delivered to any address in the continental US. This is especially helpful for any groomsmen or wedding party members who are traveling from out of town.

While Gretchen’s Bridal is your one stop shop for bridal attire, we also carry beautiful prom dresses that are perfect for dancing the night away with friends. Here are a few reasons to shop for your dream prom dress at Grechen’s Bridal.

Large Selection

Gretchen’s Bridal carries a variety of in stock prom dresses with sizes ranging from 0 – 18. Browse our selection of styles in store that are perfect for girls of all body types. While no special order is currently available for our prom dresses, you’re able to bring home your dress that same day. With our huge selection of dresses you are sure to find something you will love! Alterations are also available if needed.

No Appointment Needed

Unlike our bridal gown selection, no appointment is needed when shopping for your dream prom dress. Simply visit us during our open business hours to shop our selection of prom dresses and try on in store to find your perfect fit. 

No Duplicates

One of the best reasons to shop for your prom dress at Gretchen’s Bridal is to avoid any duplicate gowns with your classmates. We track and assign dresses to each school so no two people will show up wearing the same dress. However when you purchase your dress online or from a retail store, you may find someone at prom with an identical style. 

Special Events

In addition to prom dresses, Gretchen’s Bridal also carries gowns for a variety of special events including pageant gowns, gala wear, ball gowns and more. Find a unique dress that fits your style for any and all upcoming events.
