BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Celia Grace

One of the coolest and funnest dresses of our Celia Grace trunk show is the Marie Dress! From first glance she looks like a normal lace gown, with a gorgeous tear drop lace pattern. But she has a secret! She is actually a convertible dress! The bottom half of her dress comes off to reveal a super cute short number, plus her train can also be removed! This gown you can really wear again after your wedding, and give it a second life! (honeymoon dress anyone?) We will have Marie, plus her newest collection, through this Saturday, April 25th ONLY! So just a few more days! We are almost booked for this Saturday, so set up an appointment online!

DESIGNER FEATURE: Celia Grace

Celia Grace gowns are not just about gorgeous wedding dresses. They are a dress with a cause. They are made in safe, fair trade conditions, and the company gives back locally with each gown sold. You can even meet some of their seamstresses here! Their gowns are made of natural and eco-friendly fabrics, that are handmade and locally woven, which makes them truly eco chic!

We are so proud to be hosting a Celia Grace trunk show April 18th - 25th! We will have their newest collection, which features gorgeous laces, ombre fabrics, and convertible gowns that turn from long to short in a snap! Make sure to set up an appointment online, since our weekends book up quickly!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Pacific Northwest + {Celia Grace Pop Up Shop}

While I'm more of an East-coast girl (This is Adrienna by the way, I know Nicole is a Western girl at heart!) I really love the feel of the Pacific North West. The mountains, the trees, the lakes; It's all so different then where I come from (Ohio). Seeing these Celia Grace gowns really inspires me to want to get married on a huge lake, with greenery all around. With a succulent bouquet of course!

POP UP SHOP: Celia Grace

Sustainable gowns are such an important part of Ivory and Beau, and when we found Celia Grace, we knew we had to bring their dresses to Savannah. Her gowns will be here one week only, so make sure to book your appointment today in order to see them! March has been so busy around here, and without an appointment we can't guarantee you will be able to try anything on.

The Designer:  Celia Grace was founded by Marcie Muehlke when she couldn't find a gown that matched her values of human rights. Head designer Alix Kivlin shares these same values, and she has traveled the world meeting with sustainable and craft producers.

The Collection: The goal of the Celia Grace collection is to provide brides with wedding gowns that match their values of human rights, environment sustainability, and empowering women. Their gowns are made by women’s cooperatives, and only use handmade, eco silks. Most of their fabrics are produced on traditional wooden looms, so their fabrics are unique to them.

Price Range: $1200-$4000

Pop Up Shop Dates: March 18th - 29th
