Our Bride Frankie


This beautiful Bride, Frankie, came into our store this last April.


It is so fun to help a Bride who wants that quintessential "beaded bodice, natural waist line, full tulle skirt" look.

Frankie is stunning.

We are so lucky that we were able to dress her on her special day.

We hope you enjoy her photos as much as we do!







Congratulations Frankie!

To Veil or Not To Veil


This is a question that we get asked all of the time


Should I wear a Veil on my Wedding Day or just a headpiece?

Do you want to know our answer?


 In the last ten years, veils have not always been on trend. 

 We saw more Brides just wanting headpieces, flowers or a simple vintage brooch to adorn their hair.



Do we love that look? 

 Yes.  

We think it is a beautiful contemporary look.  
It's simple and glamorous all at the same time. 

 But. 

Veils are back!

 Let us list a few reasons why you might want to rethink your decision if you have already decided not to wear a veil.

 1.  Let us ask you a question, how often do you get to wear a veil?  For most people the answer is "only on my Wedding Day". 

 2.  We once read a study in a Bridal Magazine where they took 100 Grooms and asked them to draw a Bride.  Every single one of them drew a bride with a veil. 

 3.  It truly finishes your look.  When you wear a veil, you look like a Bride, not just a girl wearing a white dress.



   Do you know what is so great about fashion right now?  

Anything goes!! 

 Seriously! 

 We mean, come on    



What says anything goes like a fanny pack and denim on denim?   
We honestly never saw these coming back in style, but we love them just as much as we did in the 90's.

 But it's also true about Bridal. 

 There are so many different looks that are in style and you can find a veil that will match each one, whether it's Bohemian




   or classic drama   


 Just don't wear a fanny pack that day.  

Please. 

If you do end up wearing a veil, just wear it for the Ceremony and then take it off afterwards and keep your headpiece on.  



Not only does this create a more relaxed feel, it also helps your hair when your guests want to hug you.  

We have seen more veils get ripped out of Brides' hair that way.   

 So in closing we would like to ask you to please reconsider wearing a veil.   

You will never regret having one.

Especially for your photos.
