Richmond Hill Bridal Show in The News

Well if you are an early riser and live in the Savannah area, you may have seen me on WJCL this morning! I was on the morning news show, with Teresa Dilmore, talking about the bridal show at South Bridge tomorrow. The fabulous Jessica Kiss interviewed us. We chatted about the show and things that are important for planning a wedding.

The director of the show was so kind to model one of our new Nicole Miller gowns!

We were also interviewed on Wednesday at WTOC on the Mid Morning show with Sonny and Jody! The bridal show is going to be really great. There are two fashion shows. The first is at 10:30 and the second is at 1. Between the shows there will be ballroom dancing, live music from Equinoxx Jazz, and tea served by the Hale Tea Co. All of the proceedes bennefit the Ronald McDonald House. Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. There will be drawings from all of the vendors as well. You just may win the prize from BleuBelle Bridal (which is a pretty great one)!

I hope to see you soon. Happy Wedding Planning!

Catching up

Well my friends it has been some time since we've blogged. I do apologize for that. So grab a cup of hot coco and lets gab for a while!

I want to send all of my congratulations to the newly engaged ladies! The holidays bring families together and year after year prove to be a great time for engagements! I am sure that your fiance has picked out a stunning ring that captures the unique and beautiful qualities of you! I hope to see it soon :)

We have had a very busy holiday season here at BleuBelle Bridal. The day after Christmas was just great! I feel like we should be a bridal salon in Pennsylvania because we see so many brides from there! Its great for me since that is my home state. Two brides came to see us with Pennsylvania connections that day.

Ashley is from Savannah but now lives in Philadelphia. She found a beautiful Reem Acra gown that we were sampling. She is thinking about doing a lace veil. I think that will be georgous! This gown is just like a blank canvas, perfect for adding personal touches to make it unique and totaly yours!


Our other Pennsylvania bride is from the South Central area (where I am from) and getting married at the Hotel Hershey! It is a fabulous resort in Hershey, PA. It also happens to be where my grandparents honeymooned! She will be coming back this week with her mother and aunt. I am very excited to see her again!!!!

I almost forgot, we even had another PA bride on Saturday the 27th! She has lived down here for about 13 years, but her aunt lives in my home town of Carlisle, PA and is my Mother's jewelr! It is such a small world. This bride is considering a short dress. I love it! There are a few Priscilla and Melissa dresses she is thinking of.

I just love this one! She is a little sassy and very sweet. The perfect dress for the bride who wants a classic tea-length gown!

In other news...

We will be sending the Tacori jewlery back on the 2nd! Please do not miss this opportunity to see all of the collection! There are so many fabulous pieces that you are sure to find the right accessory for any event!

My *Favorite* Tacori Piece

Do you have the perfect dress and veil but maybe something is missing? Looking for the perfect accent piece for your wedding day? This sterling silver Tacori brooch from the vintage collection is an absolute must for you! The hints of white topaz add just the right amount of sparkle and the piece is completed by Swarovski crystals. Use it as an accent on your dress, your maid's dresses or even on your bouquet. However you decide to wear it, this versatile piece will be one to cherish and something that you can wear long after your special day.

Extended Trunk Show

Hello!

After speaking with Nabil at Tacori, he has agreed to let us keep all of the beautiful jewelry through the 1st weekend of the New Year! I have to say that their pieces are really beautiful. There seems to be something for everyone! Whether you are looking for something classic, vintage, modern, simple, or ornate - there are Tacori Pieces for you!

Over the next few weeks we are going to feature some of the beautiful designs we have for the trunk show. You can also visit Tacori's web site to see other styles available.

This is a really lovely necklace that has many coordinating pieces. It has pearls and Swarovski crystals. My favorite aspect of this necklace, and the other coordinating pieces, is the detailed work that goes into the pearl mounting. They look like leaves, giving a very natural and organic feeling.

Stop by at any time to take a look at the Tacori Trunk Show. I hope that you have a great week. Happy wedding planning!

Reasons why we love what we do ...

This past weekend we were so blessed to be part of our brides big day! Heather, Kaylee, and I (Jaclyn) all helped make those last moments as a maid special for our bride. Heather and I delivered the dress to one of the most beautiful historic homes downtown, the Green-Meldrium House. It is right beside St. John's Episcopal Church. Oh, to live in a home like that! We laid everything out for our bride - her dress, shoes, veils, and earrings. Christine Hall, the photographer, was able to get some beautiful shots of the dress before our bride arrived. Once the bride, her girls, and mother arrived there was a great sense of anticipation. I helped her get into the dress, making sure it was in just the right place.

While Christine took photos, Heather helped make sure that the bride looked perfect. Kaylee and I were with our bride before going down the aisle. There was some comic relief when one of us got a case of the hiccups! It made all of us giggle.

When it was time for her to walk down the aisle, we laid out the train and veil. She was a vision on her father's arm! After the beautiful ceremony, we bustled her dress and put in a shorter veil. It was a Royal Bustle, two rows of French Bustling. The groomsmen had fun watching that - they were mesmerized!

Another event occurred yesterday that made me remember how privileged we are to be part of a brides journey. A very sweet bride and mother came in for an appointment. Kaylee and I met them down in The Paris Market where we were able to chat and get to know each other. When we came up to the bridal salon we talked specifically about her vision for the wedding. Once we all had a good idea of what we were looking for, we started pulling dresses. She at first seemed to be going in a flowy direction. She tried on two that really looked amazing on and she loved. Then, she tried on "The One!"

She just knew once it was on. It was then confirmed by mom, who loved it as well. What was so special was that she was able to create two totally different looks out of the one dress. By using a ivory double faced silk satin sash and cathedral length ivory veil with scattered pearls, she was able to create a very timeless look. To change it up for the reception (and maybe the bridal portrait) we put on a black silk shantung sash, cage veil, and Victorian Bustle! It was so modern and fashion forward!
To quote what our bride wrote in our guest book:

"Thank you so much for the wonderful experience as I shopped for my bridal accessories and beautiful wedding gown! The personal attention and amazing atmosphere made it so special and memorable! I will always remember how great of an experience I had! Thanks again!"

Needless to say, it was a wonderful experience for all involved. Like I said, we love what we do. That's why we are here. We want each bride that steps into our space to have the most wonderful experience. We want her to see the wedding day vision come to life!
Best wishes in planning your wedding and we look forward to seeing you soon.
