A Little Bit of This and That

I just wanted to thank all of the lovely ladies who came by for the book signing with Tara Guerard! One of the best brides a girl could ask for, Blythe, was at the store with her book even before Tara got there! ( Sorry we didn't get to chat darlin - I miss talking to you)

Two of my favorite ladies, Minette and Donna, and SWP members also came by to meet Tara and see the new space.

Minette, Tara, and Donna

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)!

"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!

Bridal Resource Library

Hello to all of my lovely brides!

We have a new section of the bridal salon. I am very excited to announce our Bridal Resource Library!

The Bridal Resource Library

This is a very special little section of the bridal salon. In the Resource Library you have some of the best wedding books and magazines at your finger tips! Have a seat at the desk while you look out the window onto Broughton Street, dreaming about the big day. A color copier and scanner is available for you to print or e-mail images. Our creative staff is also available to help you plan and brain storm.

See how much fun you can have spending some time in the Resource Library!

In the space we have the business cards for other local vendors. These are the best of the best in Savannah! From cakes to flowers to planners - we can assist you in finding the right vendors for your special day.

I hope that you take advantage of the space. Come up on a week day to sip on champagne while you flip through bridal magazines and books. I would recommend the week days just because Saturday can be a little nutty.

I hope that you have a lovely week. 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!

New Spring 2009 Dresses!

This week we received our new Spring 2009 gowns from Vera Wang! They are beautiful! Two are from her Opening Collection, one is from her Main Collection, and the other is from her Luxe Collection.


Theses two dresses are from her Opening Collection. The first dress is style 1G029. She is a tulle ballgown with a Chantilly lace bodice. It is so light for a dress with so much volume! The bodice is just beautiful! Chantilly lace is very soft and delicate, so it creates a very romantic look. I also love love love the ivory grosgrain ribbon! It is an option so you don't have to do it but it is a sweet little touch.

The second dress is style 1G059. She is a modified a-line gown with an organza skirt and faille bodice. I adore the bow on this dress. Its a bow without being too much. Organza is a flowy fabric, so this dress moves very well when you walk in it.


The first dress in this section is from Vera's Main Collection. She is style 11589. Our gown is sampled in Slipper Satin, though it also comes in Duchesse Satin. There isn't a huge difference between the two except that Duchesse is more expensive. I love how simple and elegant this dress is. The front is a blank slate, perfect to do a great bouquet of flowers with or a sash with a broach. The back of her is stunning with the draping that is done. I really like the overlapped train. It adds a little modernity to such a classic cut.

The final dress we recieved is named Joan. She is from Vera's Luxe Collection. The bands are made of bias cut Duchesse and Organdy. I love the little bows on the back. Though they are an option, I think they are just darling! She is a slightly more fitted modified a-line than some of our others, though she is not quite as fitted as a mermaid. This is such a classic gown! The elements of the design will never go out of style!

I sure hope that these images inspire you as you plan your wedding. As always, if you need anything or have any questions, please leave a comment or send us an e-mail! We always love to share our advice and expertice.

Happy wedding planning!

Fall 2009 Vera Wang

Wow! Can I just tell you how much I am loving the Fall 2009 Vera Wang collection?! They are some of the most fantastic dresses from one collection that I have seen. The entire show blew me away. I will admit, there are some dresses that are very Vera - ones I don't really see our BleuBelle Brides wearing - but overall the collection is amazing! If you haven't checked it out yet you must at Brides.com!

I am going to play favorites and share with you two of the dresses that I have just fallen in love with. Style 12169 and style 12199 are just so darling.

The top two images are of 12169. Let me first start off by saying - WOW! I have had a favorite dress for quite some time, but this one really has stolen my heart. It is made with Dove colored Duchesse Silk and Charcoal Tulle. It can come in white or ivory. So don't worry! You can still have this fabulous dress even if the color is a little too nontraditional for you.

A little tid bit of bridal trivia for you - white dresses were originally only used for weddings because the bride was unable to afford a dyed fabric. Only wealthy brides could wear a coloured gown.

I love the ribbon accent and stars on the dress. Both are optional but could be a fun touch to add for the reception if you didn't want to wear them down the aisle. You may even be able to turn the stars into earrings and a matching necklace. I will have to explore that option with local jewelers.

Style 12199 is also a fantastic option! She is made of Duchesse Silk as well (shown in ivory) and has an aquamarine garland. The garland can also come in a crytal color so that it is a little more subdued. The back sash is shown in black elastic but it can also come in oyster, ivory, or white grosgrain ribbon.

I just adore the bodice of this dress. The neck line is beautiful! Sweetheart necklines are a nice option for something a little different than just straight across. The draping of the skirt is lovely as well. I believe that this will create a nice slim shilloutte.

I just can't wait to see these girls in person! I know that these two will be on the top of many magazines best dress lists for Fall 2009! I hope that they inspire you as you search for your wedding gown.

Happy wedding planning!
