DESIGNER FEATURE: Ti Adora

Each season Ti Adora gets better and better! Designed by the same designer as Alvina Valenta, Ti Adora is the softer, more bohemian sister. They blend soft fabrics, intricate detail, and gorgeous laces to create a collection that is free-spirit, romantic and definitely Savannah. It's a fresh take on the boho bride, and so far our brides have loved the Spring 2015 collection, especially Sophie + Britney!! Plus, all of the gowns are under $2500, so budget friendly.

We will be hosting a trunk show with all of the Spring 2015 gowns from May 8th - 16th ONLY! We are also offering 10% all Ti Adora orders during the show, so set up your appointment before we book up!

DESIGNER FEATURE: Ti Adora by Alvina Valenta

Ti Adora is a collection of gowns designed by Jessica Williams, designer also of Alvina Valenta. Ti Adora is a more affordable collection than the Alvina Valenta but seriously just as beautiful. So anyway, we are so excited that we are going to have the new Fall 2014 Ti Adora collection at our shop next weekend on Friday September 26th and Saturday September 27th before these dresses even hit the stores for the season. To schedule an appointment to check them out call us at (912)200-4794, e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here!!

1. It is no secret that we both are in love with lace. Lace lace lace. We cannot get enough lace. And these dresses are made of the prettiest, softest most gorgeous lace. And some even have overlapping lace textures for a lovely look that makes more of a statement. Also, we love how these have some bling for some added sparkle. 

2. These dresses are so romantic and sweet. With their soft lace details, pretty necklines, and airy fabrics they are perfect for a whimsical bride getting married outside in a garden or in a rustic chapel. 

3. Not only are these dresses soft and romantic but some of them are more glamorous for the bride who wants to make a statement. From a full skirt with ruffles to an all-over beaded gown these are just fab. 

4. Low backs and peek-a-boo side details make for a sexy look on your wedding day. For the bride who dares to show a little extra skin these are perfect.

Anyway, we are so excited to see the new collection and if you are interested in being one of the first to check these dresses out too before they even hit the stores call us at (912)200-4794, e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here! We look forward to seeing you!

WHY WE LOVE OUR DESIGNERS #4: Alvina Valenta

Alvina Valenta is one of our newest designers we recently added to Ivory + Beau and we are seriously head over heels in love with every single dress from this collection. But really. These gowns are serious show stoppers. I can still remember when Adrienna + I were perusing through the dresses on their website trying to pick our favorites to buy for the store and we would just spend hours looking at them. And then we would do it again the next day. Even though we already knew which ones we wanted, we just couldn't stop ourselves from looking again and again and again. And even now some days I'll stop and think to myself, which dresses are we getting again? And then I'll go look at their website some more. That being said we are so excited that we are an official retailer that carries Alvina Valenta permanently and we are having a Trunk Show where we will have even more of their gowns from August 2nd through August 9th. So now let me tell you a little about why I love them so much...

1. Oh my, is that a mermaid!? If you know me... then you know that I looooove mermaid gowns. The more poof and drama at the bottom, the more I am in love. But really. These mermaid gowns put real mermaid tails to shame. 

2. Exquisite attention to detail. From the buttons down the back of these gowns, to the hidden lace under the tulle, to the incredible beadwork, to the layers upon layers upon layers of tulle. These dresses are just incredible. When we started getting them in the store we were just so in awe at all the little details of these gowns that you can't even see from just looking at a picture online. They really are a beauty that is meant to be seen up close and personal.

3. Amazing construction and craftmanship. No need for a slip or corset bra with these dresses. They have incredible structure not just on the top layer but to the very depth of the inside of the dress. They have boning that helps keep everything in place. Krenolin that keeps the skirt full and poofy. And the lining is of the best materials yet still soft against the skin as opposed to being itchy.

4. Low back anybody? One of the season's hottest trends is the sexy low back. And Alvina Valenta does low back like it is their specialty. So not just are those looking at your front saying oh wow beautiful, but the guests behind you are probably also saying oh wow to that glamorous low back.

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Ti Adora + Modern Summer Sunset

We love this Ti Adora gown that we just got in!! It is so soft and romantic with its beading, soft lace, and tulle overlay. Perfect for a summer sunset wedding with peachy ombre inspiration, lots of candlelight and my favorite David Austin Juliet Garden Roses. Ti Adora's collection is one of our newest additions to our inventory and we love these dresses not just for their pretty details but they also give our brides a lower price point option since they range from $1200-$2000.
