STYLED SHOOT: The Brice Pool Party

EEK! We are so so so excited to share this shoot with you guys! Back in March we did an amazing shoot with Apt. B Photography at The Brice Hotel's pool deck! We were the first ones allowed to do a shoot on their newly built pool deck, and man oh man were we excited to work there! We decided to go with a retro-glam feel, and wanted to use a blush dress. We went with Opal by Blush by Hayley Paige, which has an amazing opal/moonstone sash. For accessories we collaborated with Shana at Chloe + Isabel, who had so many to choose from. It was so fun to get to play with all of the options, and pick what we liked best. The bridesmaids gowns were from Fabrik, who were kind enough to let us borrow some awesome black dresses. Heather of Beyond Beautiful by Heather did the hair and makeup, which looked perfect as always. We got to have some great food by Pacci, which is located in The Brice Hotel. Everything was delicious, and the best part? Leopold's Ice Cream did an ice cream bar for us! They have the cutest tricycle that features a cooler, so they can come on location and make sundaes or ice cream sandwiches (which is AMAZING at weddings!) We were glad we got to work with them, and showcase the newest way to have Leopold's! This was such a fun shoot to do, not only because of all of the amazing vendors, but because the models were all friends of ours. We got to hang out together, and get our pictures taken! Plus Wendy at Apt. B Photography is so, so fun to work with, and so talented! We also DIY'd the ceremony backdrop, which we featured HERE!

Just to prepare you.. this is a long blog post. There were so many pictures to choose from... we just chose to share them all! You can also see our feature on Wedding Chicks!! So sit back + enjoy!

BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Blush by Hayley Paige Giada + Girly Pinks

You guys I am head over heels in love with this new Blush by Hayley Paige dress we are getting this coming spring. Its girly, its pretty, its soft, its romantic, its classy and it has a soft hint of pink with Hayley Paige's unique signature shoulder detailing. Glamorous and elegant with a touch of art deco for the Southern bride and it's lightweight which is perfect since we know it rarely ever gets cold in Savannah. So today I'm sharing this new dress with some inspiration for invitations, bridal accessories and a bridesmaids look that goes oh so well with Maisie.

VERONICA SHEAFFER:

When we schedule a Pop-Up Shop with a bridal designer we have an idea of what we are going to get but we don't always know everything we are going to get. And oh my goodness gracious were we going crazy when we opened the box from Veronica Sheaffer. A blush, grey + navy blue dress? Made of the softest finest materials ever? Handcrafted beautifully to perfection? We were in love. Needless to say both Adrienna + I looked at each other and just swooned for a few minutes. These were by far some of our favorites from the collection. But oh you just wait because the prettiness does not end there. Next up... swiss dots, tea length, vintage inspired...

Both Adrienna + I also love swiss dots. So so much. So so so so much. They are our favorites. So when we saw these swiss dot beauties we fell in love. These dresses are so beautiful with their vintage inspired retro feel to them. We just love them so much. They are perfect for the southern vintage glam bride. Just absolutely perfect. But that's really not all... we got a lot of dresses from Veronica. I mean seriously a lot.

Last but not least here are some more of our favorites from her Fall 2014 collection. Blush pink leather corset top mixed with a lace skirt? I am just in love with the edginess of this dress combined with the skirt that is so girly and flowy. Such a fun mix of fabrics for the badass yet girly bride. All of these dresses just are so fun and so unique. I could go on for days but I will leave you at that. These aren't even all of the dresses from the collection that are currently at our shop... yes there are more. So if you are interested in coming in call us today at (912)200-4794 or e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com to come by before these dresses leave us!! We will have these dresses 2 more days: Friday and Saturday!! And if you come in we will help you pair the perfect accessory with the dress for the perfect look that will also give you savings of $250 on the total purchase!!

SIMPLY PUBLISHED: {A Lowcountry Wedding} Sequins + Peonies

Eeeeek!!!!! We are up on A Lowcountry Wedding!!!! It was so much fun putting together this mini love session for Rach Lea's friend, Liz Marie of Liz Marie Blog!! Rach contacted me about making a bridal bouquet + helping style this love session for her friend and of course I squealed with excitement and said yesssssssss. It worked out perfectly because we just happened to get that silver sequin linen, which we used as a prop for a funky blanket and is now our front desk at Ivory + Beau. I was even more squealing with excitement when I went to the floral shop and saw there were peonies available and of course I had to get those. The bouquet I made for the shoot was quite possibly one of my favorites I have ever made ever. Anyway, go on over to check out the entire shoot here!!! Thank you Erin for featuring us on your blog!!

Why We Love Our Designers #2: Rebecca Schoneveld

We absolutely love Rebecca Schoneveld and we are pretty sure she knows it. Rebecca wasn't originally a designer we have planned to meet with at New York Bridal Market so you could say it was fate. We were walking by Jaclyn Jordan's booth and when she saw we were located in Savannah she scooped us up and started chatting to us about her bridal accessories. She is of course now one of our designers as well. But while talking with Jaclyn she started raving about Rebecca Schoneveld. We really had no idea what we were in for, but after leaving Jaclyn's booth we walked down to Rebecca's booth. You can say it was love at first site. We were both immediately smitten. We were like kids in a candy shop. We wanted it all. We fell head over heels in love with Rebecca's beautiful handmade bridal designs. Seriously head over heels. 

1. She's super sweet and nice and not just that but she was overly supportive of us starting out as well as extremely humble when she totally has no reason to be because she's super awesome. We oohed and aahed over all her dresses and she just giggled and laughed at us for being so excited and happy about finding her. Pretty sure we told her several times that we are in love with her. Not just that but Rebecca is an awesome designer to work with. She gets back to us quickly whenever we have questions and she is very responsive to whatever we need!! 

2. Bridal separates anyone? When we saw that Rebecca offers bridal separates we were even more in love than we thought could be possible. I love the idea of getting to choose the top and bottom separately. It gives brides so many options to customize their gown to fit their body perfectly. We currently have several and hope to get more after the next collection comes out!!! Stay tuned since the reveal of new collections is mid-April...

3. Does that come in blue? How about blush? Well, what about gold? Yup. Since Rebecca's dresses are all handcrafted in Brooklyn, NY they are easily customizable. She offers 6 different styles of lace: a champagne beaded lace, ivory beaded lace, ivory/gold lace, ivory chantilly lace, ivory French lace and another ivory style lace. In addition to offering different types of lace, her dresses come in natural white, ivory, 2 different champagne shades, cream, peach, french grey, antique blush, soft blush and nude as well as blue... So many options it is just incredible. And they are all absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! These are a must see. 

Anyway, as you can probably tell we are smitten with Rebecca Schoneveld. If you are interested in coming in to check out some of her gorgeous gowns you can reach us at (912)200-4794 or e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or simply click here to set up an appointment!!
