    How would you like unbiased, expert advice on wedding fashion, wedding planning and wedding inspiration? Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo is an award-winning bridal and tuxedo store located in the Philadelphia region that dresses thousands of brides, grooms, groomsmen, mothers, fathers and ring bearers every year.

    It All Started With Wedding Blogs

    Over the years, the store has published over 500 wedding planning blogs offering advice from all aspects of wedding planning. These blogs are written by the founders and owners of Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo, the kind and experienced staff of the store and guest experts invited to contribute to the company's blogs. The inspiration for the blogs has come from answering questions about wedding planning and attire posed by our many customers over the years.

    The Darianna® Diaries are Born

    Our blogs have been read by hundreds of thousands of people and counting. Recently, one of our brides suggested that we create a podcast discussing each of our blogs. We thought that was a great idea!

    We are creating a podcast for each of our popular blogs, and embedding the podcast in each of the blogs. In the podcast we discuss the details of the blogs and their advice and dive deeper into each of the subjects.

    The podcast is called The Darianna® Diaries. Search our blogs or podcasts to find a subject that interests you.

    Have an idea about a blog or podcast? Contact us and we'll create one just for you!

    Online Chat and Texting

    Want more immediate attention? You can start an online chat with us or text our store telephone number at 215-491-8500. The chats and texts will be personally answered by the owners, the staff and of course, the owners' daughters: Daria and Deanna! And by the way, the store's name, Darianna®, is the combination of the owners daughters' names!

  • What Should the Fathers of the Bride and Groom Wear for a Wedding?
    Jan 2 2025

    Father Wedding Attire

    Over the past several years, the most popular wedding suit and tuxedo blog on Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo's website has been What Should the Fathers of the Bride and Groom Wear for a Wedding? It makes sense to us because brides and grooms are often focused on the groom and groomsmen, at least initially.

    The Darianna® Diaries

    Given the popularity of this subject, we thought it would be perfect to do a podcast on fathers' wedding attire. We cover everything in the blog and even touch on subjects that are not covered in the blog.

    Be informed about how to dress the fathers of a wedding before you start your tuxedo and suit search for your wedding. The podcast and blog will give you guidelines, ideas and creative ways to make the dads feel special.

    Ask Us Anything

    The owners and staff of Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo dress thousands of grooms, groomsmen, fathers, grandfathers, ring bearers and wedding attendees every year. If you have a wedding attire questions, text us at 215-491-8500 and we will be happy to personally answer you. You can also send us an online message and we'll get back to you quickly. #deepdivebridal

    3. Responsiveness of the Store
    4. Price Points

  • How to Bustle Your Wedding Dress
    Dec 31 2024

    Your Wedding Dress and the Bridal Gown Bustle

    One of our most popular wedding planning blogs published by Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo is called Bride's Guide: How to Bustle Your Wedding Dress. In addition, the video embedded in the blog is one of the most watched videos we have ever done.

    Why is that? Because a lot of brides are not sure what wedding dress bustles are, what their purpose is and how to do them?

    So we thought it would be a great idea to create a podcast on how to bustle your wedding dress.

    We discuss what a bustle is and describe the most popular kinds of bustles. We also discuss practical uses of the bustle and pitfalls of not properly bustling your wedding dresses. We also give you tips on making bustling very easy.

    Enjoy this full length bride's guide on wedding dress bustles and reach out to us if you have any more questions. #deepdivebridal
