THOUGHTS TUESDAY: Burgundy + Ash and Light

Last month we told you about our Ash + Light styling event, where stylists from Ash + Light will be at our shop showing you how to style your bridesmaids dress after your wedding! This is a perfect event for brides, and bridesmaids, so you can all see how to restyle that bridesmaid gown (since we know it's sitting in the back of your closet, ready to be worn!) Plus, we will have Chloe + Isabel there to show you the hottest bridal trends in jewelry. This event is exclusive, and tickets are required. It will be Sunday, May 3rd starting at 1PM! To get tickets, visit us online before they sell out!

BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Elaya Vaughn + Chloe and Isabel Trunk Show

Coming up this weekend is our Elaya Vaugn trunk show! Designed by Kate Pankoke, who has been on Project Runway for three seasons, Elaya Vaughn is for the modern and fashion forward bride, but with a vintage soul. Her gowns are made of luxurious fabrics, excellent construction, and feature a couture experience (but without the couture price tag!) Today we feature three of our favorite gowns from her newest collection, and paired them with the best bridesmaids and accessories! The perfect compliment to these high fashion gowns are statement jewelry, which Chloe + Isabel have plenty of!

Our Elaya Vaughn trunk show is March 28th - April 4th ONLY! This is the only time to see all of her gowns at once, plus we will have our Chloe + Isabel Pop Up Shop March 28th. Appointment space is limited (and appointments are required) so give us a call to set yours up!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Something Blue + Chloe and Isabel

We've all heard the old tradition: something borrowed, something blue, something old, and something new. We love adding something blue to your wedding, and what we love even more is making a bold statement! One of the most common something blue's are your shoes. It's a great way to add some blue, especially if you don't want it show most of the night. Another option is your bridesmaids! They are next to your side on the big day, and they could easily be your something blue. Our favorite option? Bold blue jewelry! Add your blue in your earrings or bracelet, for a subtle nod to the tradition. Looking to stand out? Wear a chunky blue necklace!

Still looking for your something blue? You are in luck! This Saturday, March 28th, we will have a Chloe + Isabel Pop Up Shop, where you can find all of your perfect accessories for you and your girls! This is an appointment only event, so you have one-on-one attention with you and a stylist, so you can pick the perfect pieces. These pieces are stunning, and super affordable!

THOUGHTS THURSDAY: How To Accessorize Your Dress

Today we are talking about one of the most important parts of your wedding: your accessories! Your wedding is not just about your dress, but how you accessorize it. Are you still looking for your jewelry, and unsure how to style it? You are in luck! We have a Chloe + Isabel trunk show March 28th, where we will have a stylist helping you and your girls find the perfect accent piece! This is a one day only pop up shop, with appointments required, so make sure to set yours up! Here are some tips on how to choose your jewelry!

1. Choose the dress first: Sometimes you find an amazing pair of shoes, and think, these are my shoes, now I need to find a dress to match them! Wrong! Once you find your dress you can set everything around that. You will wear this dress once. Those shoes? Anytime you want!

2. Focus on the shape and color of the dress: If you have a ton of bling on your gown, or a sparkly sash, you don't need to add too much. A nice stud or bracelet can really play off the sparkle in your gown. If your gown is blush, it's great to play off the pink and go with gold and rose gold accents. If your dress is white, stick with silver so it doesn't clash. Ivory is versatile, and can go with every metallic!

3. Go off the neckline: Your neckline determines so much of what jewelry you wear! See our guide below for what Chloe + Isabel pieces will work best with your dress!

V-Neck's work best with a drop earring, or a bold bracelet. This way the focus can be on your dress detail, but still allows you to have fun with your accessories! (You know what else is great? The dress pictured is 50% off during our sample sale through the end of March!) 

High necklines are the perfect way to wear a bold necklace. Since you are covering so much skin, you can really add some fun with an eye catching piece!

Sweetheart dresses go best with earrings, so your focus is on your beautiful décolletage and skin. Add a punch of color with a bold modern earring!
