“Oh sad was her fate! In sportive jest, She hid from her Lord, in an old oak chest. It closed with a spring and her Bridal bloom, Lay withering there in that living tomb.”-Samuel RogersDo you love spooky stories? How about ghost stories? In this weeks episode, Tash tells Kass about the Bramshill House in Hampshire, England where a bride accidently died in a game of hide-and-seek. We know it's August but we thought it would be fun to break up all of our normal content with something fun, spooky and filled with holiday cheer!

Did you know in some countries, it's tradition for a bride to be kidnapped? There is even a tradition where couples use chainshaws! On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass discuss some of the weirdest wedding traditions from all over the world. Some we've heard of and others....left us speechless. We are all about supporting family traditions but some of these make you stop and wonder 'why was this created in the first place?'But in all jest, we want to thank Khush Magazine for creating such a fun article.

We had an official listener request! Thank you to Emily from Texas for sending us such a great topic to discuss

On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass dive into the meaning of the phrase "Beauty is Pain". Growing up Tash heard this phrase over and over whenever someone referred to beautiful clothing or shoes being painful. But why does beauty have to be painful? Why can't it be comfortable and effortless?Kass took a deep dive on this phrase hoping she will be the one to educate Tash on something! (Highly unlikely but we shall see...) This epsiode is fun, informative and will hopefully allow us all to remove this concept from our everyday vernacular and make the future not only beautiful, but comfortable too!Links for this weeks episode:https://justhindi.in/beauty-is-pain-meaning/https://mix957gr.com/moments-in-history-when-beauty-is-pain-was-taken-way-too-literal/https://sipofculture.com/2022/02/09/how-we-are-programmed-to-believe-that-beauty-is-pain/Links to us:Website: https://www.va-bridal.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/versailles_atelier_bridal/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vabridalTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@versaillesatelierbridal?Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/VA_Bridal/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBJqW5cox4z0GqgE9vwRAZARainbow Wedding Network: https://www.rainbowweddingnetwork.com/formal-wear-apparel/ut/south%20jordan/versailles-atelier-bridalHave questions or episode ideas?

Well then today's episode will be a real treat for you!On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass are taking a modern spin on vintage marriage advice.

Happy New Years Bridal Beauties!

Engagement season is here! And it's our favorite time of the year. If you know an engagement is in your near future, this episode is perfect for you to tune in and learn the best approach to finding your dream dress. Most bridal shops carry samples in store to allow you to try them on and find the best one for your big day. At that point they order the best size for you from that designer. But, if you don't have the engagement timeline to allow for ordering, a very specific budget or your a bride who loves to find 'a good deal', then a store sample is calling your name. But what if the store you go to doesn't have any samples available for same day purchase? These are logistics you want to think about as you research the stores you want to visit.Links to us:Website: https://www.va-bridal.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/versailles_atelier_bridal/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vabridalTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@versaillesatelierbridal?Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/VA_Bridal/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBJqW5cox4z0GqgE9vwRAZAHave questions or episode ideas?

How to choose the best dress for your body type: Step 1, Have a Body.....Step 2, Find a gown that highlights your favorite parts of yourself....Step 3, WEAR WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL CONFIDENT!Hey Bridal Beauties! On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass want to help you feel prepared for your upcoming dress appointment. One of the biggest questions we get is 'What dress style is best for my body type.' But, this episode isn't what you think it is! Tash and Kass cover the standardized 'body types' but explain why they are trying to break the limiting belief that you can't wear a certain style because it's not 'flattering' or doesn't 'hide' your 'flaws'. (Sorry for all the aggressive air quotes) Defining our bodies into shapes named after food is a limiting belief we are trying to remove from our bridal vocabulary because our worth is not defined by our pant size or the number on a scale.

Cue the confetti....we have our first vendor interview!

We are dropping an extra episode for our bridal beauties this week!For our first mini episode, Kass has a list of questions for Tash to answer but the catch? Tash is suppose to answer these in 'rapid fire' quickness. The problem? Tash loves to talk about everything wedding dress or wedding related. Kass' questions cover everything from favorite celebrity wedding to most hated bridal material, even asking Tash her thoughts on wedding guest favors. It's a fun, quick way for our listeners to get to know us a little more. And hopefully get some good tips for their own wedding planning.Website: https://www.va-bridal.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/versailles_atelier_bridal/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vabridalTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@versaillesatelierbridal?Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/VA_Bridal/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBJqW5cox4z0GqgE9vwRAZAHave questions or episode ideas?

It's time.....to tell you what 'Every Body is a Bridal Body' means to us! On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass discuss how they came up with their phrase; what those words mean to them and what they hope those words will mean to others. Words can hold such powerful emotions. Everything we do in our lives, whether that is at home or at work, is to create a loving and safe space for everyone. Including ourselves. **This episode is listed as explicit because a few curse words are dropped during their conversation. Also, Tash's husband 'Mr Maintenance' is doing some work in the shop and creating background noise towards the end of the episode**Links to us:Website: https://www.va-bridal.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/versailles_atelier_bridal/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vabridalTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@versaillesatelierbridal?Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/VA_Bridal/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBJqW5cox4z0GqgE9vwRAZAHave questions or episode ideas?

Besides designers giving us the suggested retail value for their gowns, store owners have to take so many factors into consideration. You'll be surprised at all the minute things stores have to consider when they price their gowns, including how much they pay their employees and current global issues that could cause inflation.
