Whats new at BleuBelle Bridal!

Hello friend!

It has just been waaaay to long since I've given you insight into the BleuBelle world. We are humming right along with weddings. The 30th will be a busy day for us! June is surprisingly busy for weddings in Savannah. Most of our brides stay away from that time of year because of how hot it gets!

We have two fabulous interns from the Savannah Country Day School, Katherine and Kate. They have been such a great help! We have put them to work, getting things ready for the sample sale!

Speaking of the sample sale ... it is just around the corner. 4 DAYS!!!!! We are just so excited for it! Already, we have had a few ladies stop by and take a sneak peak. So, get ready. Call your girlfriends and plan a trip to the Sample Sale. The doors open at 10 am THIS Saturday, May 23rd.

Happy Wedding Planning!

Nataha Bedingfield in Vera Wang!

I noticed this in the grocery store the other day, but resisted the urge to flip through the pages of US Weekly (something Joe always gives me a hard time about). I just received these images though from our rep at Vera!


No, not Reese and Jake (though I am way jealous of her!!!) Natasha Bedingfield got married and wore a fabulous Vera Wang!


I love the way the dress was transformed with the champagne sash. It give an empire look to the modified a silhouette. The pleating at the bust is so lovely!

The dress will become available to you this year when it debuts at the Spring 2010 bridal market next week! I will keep you posted with more info on it when market comes.

Happy Wedding Planning!

Savannah Weddings Magazine

I haven't mentioned anything about Savannah Weddings' Spring 2009 issue, but if you don't have a copy yet then you are missing out!!! The current issue is filled with fabulous ideas and resources to plan your perfect wedding.

As you may have guessed, one of the reasons I am so in love is because the dress and accessories were provided by BleuBelle Bridal! The gown is Style 1G029 by Vera Wang and retails for $3,900. Pretty amazing for a chantilly lace bodice and full tulle skirt. It does come with an ivory or white sash (we can always get you a colored sash from Mokuba). The necklace is from Leighton Reeves and the earrings are Tacori.

You can also purchase your very own copy of Savannah Weddings right here at BleuBelle Bridal! Stop by to get your copy!

Inspired by the Oscars

I know its been a few days since the Oscars and our attention has not moved to other things ... but I did want to write a little about the red carpet gowns and how you can translate them into your wedding style!

If you noticed, there was a lot of nostalgic 50's looks. I think that has something to do with the comfort that we feel when we think of the 50's. We think of the Cleavers, perfect June in her darling house dress making cookies and Ward coming home from a long day of work and the boys, Beaver and Wally, getting into a bit of mischief. The perfect atomic family. Its makes you feel a little fuzzy inside.

Any who ... I found a few dresses by our designers that can give you that 50's inspired look!

This Vera gown is very similar to the silhouette of Sarah Jessica Parker's Christian Dior gown. The banding in the skirt is a nice subtle detail. The Vera has organza flower appliques on the bodice and a mikado ribbon to add detail.

The top right is a Melissa Sweet gown that has some beautiful draping detail on the bodice, much like Natalie Portman's gown. The bottom left photo is of a Nicole Miller gown that has pretty draping at the bust with an embellished band that peeks from under the chiffon. This style is such a classic. A soft column dress with intricate draping - perfect for any movie star or bride!!!!

I hope this inspires you! There are so many other style in the store that remind me of that 50's look. Stop by any time to take a peek :)

Happy Wedding Planning!

Pretty Wedding

So I was poking around Martha Stewart Weddings.com and found this amazing wedding. Not only is it really beautiful (color pallet, photos, flowers, everything ...) but the bride just happens to be wearing Vera! She is wearing Le Notra, a Luxe gown, and a Tacori headpiece!

Le Notra is an organza gown with hand placed alencon lace and small spagetti straps

After I realized it was Le Notra I kept clicking through the images and then I saw what she did for the reception ... genius!!!!!

I absolutely love the flower accent she added to the left strap. I always love it when brides want to switch things up and add different touches to their dress. I just think it is a great way to make a change to your look without wearing a different dress.

Happy Wedding Planning!!!

Sneak Peak for the Trunk Show!!!!

Here is a sneak peak of some Vera gowns that we will be getting for the trunk show NEXT WEEK!!!!!



There will be many more to choose from. As you may be well aware, (if you are an avid BleuBelle Bridal Blog Reader) Vera's Fall '09 collection is one of my most favorite collections of all time! So, I am beyond excited about this upcoming weekend!

We still have a few appointments available on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. If you are reading this now and want an appointment - CALL! I would hate for any bride to miss this opportunity, especially since you get 10% off your order during the Trunk Show. If there are any questions or you need anything, call at 912.355.2502.

Happy Wedding Planning!

Vera Wang Trunk Show!

So, you are the first to know ... we are having a Vera Wang Trunk Show February 12th - 14th! I am so excited for these new girls to come in! I mean, do you remember how much I gushed about the collection in October?!

We will have some Spring and Fall 2009 dresses. It is a little different, usually there are only dresses from one collection, but some of the Fall '09's will be at the Oscars (lucky them!). As soon as I know more I will tell you about the styles that we will be receiving. Until then, mark your calendars because this will be a trunk show to attend! They tend to book up quickly so I highly recommend calling in advance (912.355.2052)!

Bride Wars

So on Friday night Heather and I watched Bride Wars! It was amazing! Hello Vera. Hello Tacori. Ah... it was fun.

From the previews I already knew what my favorite parts was going to be when Kate Hudson realized that her dress was too small and says " You don't alter Vera Wang. You alter yourself to fit Vera!". However ... when you watch the movie she hears that from the bridal stylist! AH! I could never imagine saying anything like that to my brides! But ... it did make for a funny scene.

The dress that Kate Hudson wears is Vera. It is stunning. The one in the film is from her Luxe collection but we have one from her Opening collection that is very similar and just as beautiful! It was out on location at Isle of Hope yesterday for the Spring issue of Savannah Weddings. I will be sure to put some images of that up when the fabulous Donna Von Bruening gets them to me.

If you see the film you will notice a blue hair pin that they make a little bit of a big deal about. It is TACORI!!!!! Now, my only complaint is that it is not a color available for us to order. They offer it in orange, white, lavender, and pink. No blue :( It will be my mission to see if we can get one because it was beautiful!!!!

This is similar to the one in the movie

I think that since we are in the wedding profession, there is a certain appreciation we have for films like that. We get some of the things that others not in the profession may not get. It makes for sly looks at one another, gasps, and panic attacks when things (dress related for me) go wrong.

I encourage you to see the movie. It was really cute. A great movie to see with your girlfriends!

Happy wedding planning!

"The Scalloped Dress"

I have received several e-mails asking about "the scalloped dress" that was featured on Style Me Pretty.


Let me introduce her to you. Her name is Zoe and she is designed by Vera Wang. She is an amazing dress! Zoe is part of the Vera Wang Luxe Collection. This means that she is hand made in Ohio start to finish by one woman. She features a sculpted sweetheart neckline with passimentary loops (that are also at the hem). Zoe is a modified mermaid silhouette with a wrapped bodice of organza that ties into a bow at the back. On the dress are two kinds of hand placed lace - Lyon and Alencon. There is also an optional raffia belt (shown in both pictures).

Zoe really is quite a lovely dress. Due to all of the detailing that goes into making her, she is a bit expensive. However, remember that this month she is 10% off because of the lovely ladies at Vera offering a token of appreciation on the gowns.

If you want to know more about the lovely Zoe - stop by or give me a call! I look forward to seeing you soon. Happy wedding planning!

December Happenings

Well one week ago we were all celebrating our thankfulness for life, family, friends, and all of the other things we are so privileged to have. We are also now a week closer to Christmas! There are some exciting December happenings at BleuBelle Bridal.

This is just an example of one of our beautiful maids dresses worn by real brides maids! The style for this dress is 23M06.

Vera does not have all of her bridal gowns or maids dresses on the web site. Come in to take a better look at her collection!

Tacori

There will also be a Tacori trunk show starting on December 8th and running through the 20th! The show will feature 19 different collections. Collections are pieces of jewelry that coordinate. For instance a necklace, earrings, headpiece, bracelet, and broach. The beauty of this is that you may just want to wear earrings and a bracelet but want to get a necklace for your maids. Well there is a coordinating piece for them! Broaches could make for a lovely gift to your mother or grandmother. There are just so many options!

This is one of my favorite collections! The filigree detail is just beautiful. Here is a close up.


This is style 7E1081 and guess what. They are only $75! They are real pearl and silver. You just can't beat that. The filigree is very natural feeling - perfect for a bride who wants something understated and special.

I hope to see you in the very near future. Take advantage of these great opportunities while they last! Happy wedding planning!
