Daniel Thompson Bridals

At Daniel Thompson Bridals, a wedding dress boutique in St. Augustine, FL, the focus is on the customer. This store prides itself on being one of the most renowned wedding gown and formalwear designers in northern Florida. Each gown created by this store has been carefully custom-designed to each client’s specifications so every wedding can get the touch of originality it deserves. Daniel Thompson, the owner of this brand, graduated from the Traphagen School of Fashion in New York City in 1975. Having always known that he wanted to design wedding dresses, he immediately moved to Boston to begin his career. Daniel began to work for Priscilla of Boston, the designer responsible for Grace Kelly’s iconic wedding gown. He then returned to New York City and worked for a number of brands. For over 20 years, Daniel has built his own fashion empire, expanding to design formalwear alongside wedding gowns. His pieces have been stocked by all manner of stores, including the iconic Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. Gowns designed by Daniel Thompson Bridals have been particularly popular with the Jewish community. He favors a classic style and frequently designs in both satin and silks. Alencon lace is also a popular feature of his pieces. This does not mean, however, that he is limited in his ideas. His pieces can vary from dramatic ballgowns to short and sweet a-line dresses. Romantic lace trains can fan out from the skirt or can be bustled for ease when dancing. For even more customization, customers can have the expert opinion of Daniel Thompson Bridals to assist them in their choice of accessories. Private appointments give the customer freedom and confidence to share their hopes and ideas for their gown, from the silhouette to the color. They have the opportunity to design their dress to be exactly what they’ve envisioned, with the professional opinion of this company’s staff for additional guidance. For a final finishing touch, Daniel can create a perfectly coordinating veil.
