SIMPLY BORROWED: Marianne Lucille Photography + Daughters of Simone

If you are looking for a boho gown, but with a traditional lace, Winnie by Daughters of Simone is the perfect gown for you. We love her effortless feel, with her off the shoulder sleeves and cascading train. Marianne Lucille borrowed Winnie, and we love the venue she chose! She was able to find a field that had the perfect amount of light and trees. The flowers by Urban Poppy, with a mix of eucalyptus and baby's breath, were perfect. This gorgeous shoot was just featured on Rustic Wedding Chic, so check out their blog for more images!

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: Flora and Lane

When we first saw the gowns by Flora and Lane, we were in awe. They were so stunning, so romantic, so delicate.... so perfect! Flora and Lane are designed by 3 designers, who wanted to make gowns that were hand made and small scale production. They are a mix of feminine and soft silhouettes, for an etherial and bohemian bride. Not only are these gowns stunning, they are affordable! All of the gowns are under $1500, so perfect for a bride on a budget.

We will have these gowns ALL MAY as part of our Wed Altered trunk show series.  Are you loving these gowns? Then make an appointment with us before they leave! This is an exclusive event, and these gowns are not sold in any stores.

BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Daughters of Simone + Elephants

We are proud to be the only store in the South-East that carries Daughters of Simone. This line features everything amazing about bohemian gowns, with the softest laces, relaxed fit, and low backs. These gowns are a pinterest dream, and once we saw this Indian inspired shoot on Burnetts Boards we got so inspired! I (Adrienna) have a slight obsession with elephants (just see my house, and you'll see what I mean) and as soon as I saw all of the elephant details I had so many ideas. Pops of red, gold and orange, which is such a great color palate for summer and fall weddings; so warm!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Daughters of Simone + Into The Woods

Daughters of Simone gowns are right around the corner! We are so excited to add some of their gowns, including Lu, a bride favorite. We love how soft the crochet lace is, and the train is out of this world! So detailed, so extravagant. We love paring such a bohemian gown with an outdoor ceremony, and touches of greens and browns. The perfect palate for a woods wedding! We included pillows for the ceremony, as well as a DIY quilt that would be perfect covering for the sweetheart table (or even a gift for guests!)

DESIGNER FEATURE: Daughters of Simone

At Ivory and Beau, we strive to bring you unique gowns you can't get anywhere else in the Coastal area! We are so excited to announce we will now be carrying Daughters of Simone!! Daughters is based out of, and made, in San Francisco, California. Each gown has a story behind it, and the ladies at Daughters have paid great attention to detail! They are hippie and bohemian inspired, perfect for our relaxed outdoor bride. With a huge fan following, it's no wonder girls are loving (and traveling) for Daughters of Simone! We will be getting 5 gowns: Fin, Winnie, Lu from the previous collections, and Warwick and Lennox from their new collection.

DESIGNER FEATURE: Sarah Seven

Can't really believe I am just now getting around to writing this post... because I mean we seriously love Sarah Seven. When first getting started thinking about what designers we wanted to carry we knew that Sarah Seven was for sure one of them. And seeing her dresses at Bridal Market in New York just validated our love for Sarah Seven and our desire to have her styles in our store. So that being said, today I'm talking all about why we love us some Sarah Seven. Also, our End of Summer Sample Sale is going on now through Saturday September 20th! If you are a Sarah Seven bride, scroll down to see which styles are included in the sale. Call us at (912)200-4794, e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here to schedule your appointment!

1. These dresses are made for the unique bride. Seriously though. These dresses are made for the bride who does not want to look like every other bride out there. These dresses are made for the bride who wants her personality to shine on her wedding day. She wants to stand out. She is trendy, fabulous and secure in all her own quirky ways. All-over gold sequins? She's got it. Blush and airy? She's got it. Silver sequins like a milky way pattern? She's got it. And they're all fabulous and definitely the right dress for that bride who is ready to grab everyone's attention and hold it.

2. Do you dream of looking like a whimsical bohemian fairy on your wedding day? If so, Sarah Seven is the designer for you. From sparkly lace that shimmers and shines to softer than soft organza that billows in the wind to buttery lace fabric that floats while moving, these dresses are just perfect.

3. Sarah Seven found her signature and did it right and with that she grew her brand from that signature. Every Sarah Seven dress (for the most part) has a similar corset top with similar bra cup and sweetheart neckline, which now is the key attribute in Sarah Seven dresses that make it easy to tell when a bride is rocking Sarah Seven. Some of our most popular Sarah Seven styles have been Elizabeth, Helene and Keats. Elizabeth with its romantic beaded lace top with chiffon skirt, Helene with its fabulous soft lace and Keats with its beautiful drape work and airy silk chiffon. These dresses may all have a similar corset and boning yet are three completely different looks for three completely different style of brides.

Are you a Sarah Seven bride? If so, come shop with us while some of her hottest styles are available for 15-20% during our End of Summer Sample Sale!! Call us at (912)200-4794, e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here to schedule your appointment while we still have availability!

SIMPLY BRIDAL: Sunset Beach + Daughters of Simone Pop Up Shop

SIMPLY BRIDAL: Hushed Commotion Lookbook

When Thea, the designer of Hushed Commotion, sent us the look book of her 2014 collection ours jaws dropped! Not only are her accessories stunning, but the photography by Jen Huang is amazing! When we saw Thea's items at market, we knew we had to add her to the shop. Her work is unique but with a touch of vintage. We especially love her use of gold (the must have metallic in bridal!). All of her items are handcrafted with love in Brooklyn,  New York. We are so happy to be one of 6 stores that carry her line (and the only one in the south!) You can see more of her look book on her website + 100 Layer Cake!
