BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Jillian Fellers

Are you loving the two piece trend, but might not be ready to have your girls rock it on your wedding day? Then this BCBG dress is the perfect solution. The pink band in the middle makes it look like two pieces, but it's not! So your bridesmaids can wear the trend, while still keeping it classic and not too trendy. We love the soft pastels of the dress, and thought it paired perfect with Vivien by Jillian Fellers. Vivien is a sophisticated silk satin and silk chiffon dress, with a fitted corset top and flowing skirt. The back features an intricate lace racer back detail, and cascading straps. We will have this gown, and the rest of her Spring 2016 collection, through the end of July. So just a few weeks left! Make sure to schedule an appointment to come and shop with us!

BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Mediterranean Blues

If anyone wants to hire us to do a Mediterranean wedding, I will be your best friend. Seriously. I can't imagine a more perfect place to get married then the calming blue waters of the Mediterranean. With a cool color palate of navy, aqua, and a pop of yellow, your wedding would be the talk of the year. So lavish in our cool blue inspiration, and maybe think about having your wedding there. So we can plan it.

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: 4th of July

We love a wedding with the color palate of AMERICA! Red White + Blue! As we celebrate our nations holiday (and a day off!) we take time to look at some weddings that mix the perfect amount of patriotic flair with style. You can either use pops of red white and blue (like in your cake or stationary), or really make it stand out with gingham and flags. Whichever you chose, it is sure to make a statement!

SIMPLY WED: Rachel + Johnny

Sometimes the sweetest weddings are the smallest. Rachel + Johnny's wedding was so beautiful and intimate! Sharing this special day with only close friends and family it let them really spend this time talking, laughing and creating amazing memories with the people closest to them. The Harper Fowlkes House was the perfect location for Rachel + Johnny to start the next chapter in their lives together. Under an amazing DYI flower arch designed by Ivory + Beau in the courtyard, Rachel + Johnny were married by one of their best friends. They celebrated their union on the back porch of the house with beautiful cocktails from Cha Bella. The sunset on a perfect day when the small wedding party of 16 entered the Harper Fowlkes Dining room for dinner. The Dining room provided the perfect setting for their elegant reception. Congratulations for Rachel + Johnny! We are so happy we got to help make your wedding day perfect!

BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Aloha Pineapple

The weather is getting hotter and hotter around here! The last week was hot and muggy, which is making us dream of island life. What better place to get married then Maui?! We found this amazing watercolor stationary from Mospens Studio, and we love all of the landmarks they added, like pineapples and whales. One of the coolest parts? The designer is from Akron, Ohio! So grab a Mai Tai and enjoy today's bridesmaids monday!

STYLED SHOOT: Bohemian Baby Goats

We love baby animals at Ivory + Beau. Like really, really love. So anytime that we are able to work with them, we jump on the opportunity! When Emily Anderson from E.M Anderson Photography contacted us saying she wanted to do a shoot with us, and wanted to do it on a goat farm, we were hooked. We came up with a bohemian farm shoot, with farm table seating, lots of texture, and a vegetable table scape. We used Winnie by Daughters of Simone, with it's gorgeous off the shoulder lace that fit the theme perfectly. A full organic menu was provided by Thrive Catering, and was shot at Bootleg Farm, a gorgeous farm that makes goat cheese. The gorgeous jewelry was made by Laurel Baker of Anchor Boutique, and the delicate pieces fit perfectly with our shoot. 

Our favorite part though? All of the goats! They had so many baby goats, we wanted to take them all home! Plus they had a huge herd of adult goats, that roamed around the forest. After being there for a day, we both want goats of our own. Check out more images of our shoot up on Fab You Bliss!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Sarah Seven + Desert Dreaming

Sarah Seven has some amazing bridal editorials, and her newest one might be our favorite! Their newest collection shoot was called "Desert Daydreaming" and took place in Palm Springs California. The natural setting really showcases the gowns, and shows how soft and flowing they are! One of our gowns from that collection is Broome, which has a dramatic open back and lace high neck with scalloped lace detail. Broome is part of our Summer Sample, and you can purchase the sample off the floor for 30% off!! It's a size 8, and in excellent condition. We've added lot's of new gowns to our sample sale to make room for all of our new gowns that will be arriving in fall! We are by appointment only, so make sure to set yours up!

REAL BRIDE: Kylee + Chris

Kylee was such a sweet bride we got to help last year! She had the most gorgeous opal ring I've ever seen (and I LOVE opals!!) and was looking for the perfect gown for her wedding to Fiance Chris. She chose Marlo by Elaya Vaughn, a silk charmeuse gown with a wrap front and low back. To incorporate her love for opals, she got a moonstone and rhinestone sash from Blush by Hayley Paige, and we think it matched perfectly! We wish Kylee + Chris nothing but the best on their future together!! Thank you to Mackensey Alexander for the photo's!
