Timeless Trendsetter

We know that on your wedding day you want to feel beautiful. 

We want to help you focus on the details to keep your look modern and sophisticated. Playing with trends can be fun, but it is wise to consider how you want to feel when you look back at one of the most memorable days in your life. We want you to proudly display your wedding photos for years to come and avoid the excuse of "it was so in style". 

Here are a few ideas to keep your look fashion forward and forever classic.

A modern bride should be focused on enhancing her style by adding accessories that play off her personality.Your bridal hair is important to your overall look and the right accessories can definitely make a statement.Your hair is also the perfect canvas to incorporate your "something old". Consider cutting a piece of lace from your mother's wedding dress to be worn in the hair, or redesigning your grandmother's veil to feel modern and fresh.

Your dress will of course be one of the focal points of your wedding day. By working with a knowledgeable bridal consultant, they can help you find the dress that fits your personality and introduce accessories that will create a look that is uniquely you.

Our bride Amanda fell in love with a vintage cut lace gown. The ivory lace pops off the oyster satin underlay. Matched perfectly with a modern sweetheart neckline and dramatic accessories, Amanda's look is glamorous but still very bridal.

Another great way to set your bridal look apart is to subtly add current trends to an overall classic gown. Our bride Andrea chose a lace gown with soft, wispy feathers set in the skirt. By keeping a monochromatic ivory color palette in her bouquet, her look feels chic and sophisticated.

If you have fallen in love with a dress inspired from a specific era, your photography will play a key role in keeping your wedding look fresh.We love this Sarah Seven tea length dress in this ultra modern setting. 

Or, if you have ventured into true fashionista territory, you  can balance the fashion trend by capturing photos in a gorgeous classic setting. 

The shoe is a very important piece in your bridal look. It is smart to be comfortable, it is also smart to be stylish! Our bride Katelin Jane chose a lovely pair of poppy red Valentino heels to wear on her wedding day. The fun vibrant color paired with the classic bow will be a style her grandchildren will admire.

Our bride Emily wore a modern metallic gold heel with her vintage inspired lace gown. A perfect reflection of her sense of style amplified on her wedding day.

All in all, your wedding day look should make you feel nothing less than spectacular. If you are searching for your gown or still need help accessorizing the look, our bridal consultants are here to help!

Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

Now that he has popped the question, it is time for you to start asking a few questions of your own. First, who do you want to stand beside you on your special day? This can become tricky, as I am sure you have dozens of friends that would be honored to be part of such a beautiful day in your life. You also don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. My suggestion is to extend the invitation toward those who have been a positive and enduring influence in your life. Ask those who are as close as family and that show genuine and sincere excitement for your engagement. Once you have narrowed down the list, you have to ask yourself how you want to ask the lucky girls. This can be done simply by inviting them out to a girl's day lunch date. 

If you want to make them feel really special, here are a few fun ideas:

A fun little memento box full of information about the big day, fun pictures of you and your friend, old letters you have written, or any other sweet memory you have had together.

 Choose a fun invitation to pop the question. Cleverly designed stationary sets the tone for your wedding.

Another fun idea is to get your bridesmaids the nail polish you would like them to wear on your wedding day.

I love the idea of gifting your bridesmaids matching jewelry to wear on your special day. Make it even more personal by including their first initial. These bracelets from Cusp by Neiman Marcus are darling.

 Being a little funny and cheesy never hurt when hanging out with your girlfriends. Invite them over for movie night and put on this fun movie after breaking the big news.

We would love to hear how you popped the big question to your bridesmaids! Please leave a comment or share a photo.
