Proposals: Sheer Sophistication

Paris, New York…Salt Lake?

Hot, hip, haute. If you think Utah isn’t on the cutting edge when it comes to high-end wedding fashion, think again. Now more than ever, Utah brides have a plethora of local, high-style options—from seasoned boutiques to up-and-comers like Bitsy Bridal.

Akin to big-city couture houses, Bitsy’s showroom boasts natural light and industrial warehouse decor. But the metropolis influence doesn’t end there. Owner Pam Hlaing showcases fresh looks straight from the runway. Her current faves? Hlaing reveals the hottest trends from Paris and New York—all available in the Beehive State.
