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!

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!

DESIGNER FEATURE: Elaya Vaughn

As many of you know, we are not just fans of Kate Pankoke of Project Runway Fame. We also helped with her wedding! So when we saw that her newest collection featured a gown based off her own wedding dress, we were so excited! Her dress was stunning, and so Kate. Her newest collection is filled with luxury and detail. Her gowns have the finest laces, softest fabrics, and even gold buttons for a touch of glamour. Elaya Vaughn mixes a soft, romantic and vintage bride with a modern twist. One of the best parts? All of her gowns are handmade in Chicago.

We will be hosting a trunk show with all of Elaya Vaughn's newest collection March 28th - April 4th. This is an exclusive event, so appointments are needed!

REAL BRIDES: Bevin + Josh

Sometimes when you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious there is nothing better than to take a break from those feelings, set them aside, and go look at your accomplishments and the real reason why you do what you do. The happy brides. That's it. That is the sole reason why we do what we do and why we love what we do. When we can help a bride find the dress that feeling is just solid gold. Because its not just any dress... its the dress they are going to wear walking down the aisle with their dad, its the dress they are going to say the vows that mean forever to the love of their life, its the dress they are going to be wearing when a ring that means so much is slid onto their finger, its the dress they will have their first kiss as husband and wife or wife and wife and their first dance in, its the dress they will remember for the rest of their life, its the dress that will be in almost every picture of their wedding day that they will look back on 20 years later. Its not just any dress, its the dress. And for us to have the opportunity to be a part of a bride finding that dress? That's huge to me and that is so special and that is what its really all about.

And with that, I now would like to share pictures of one of the very first Ivory + Beau brides to get married in their Ivory + Beau dress, Bevin! Bevin wore a gorgeous Elaya Vaughn gown by Kate Pankoke with tiers of lace, and a headpiece by Twigs and Honey. These amazing images are by The Happy Bloom, and for more images, go over to their blog!

THOUGHTS TUESDAY #7: Colors, Themes + Design

Today I am here to talk all about my tips on how to come up with colors, themes + the overall design and feeling of your wedding. Working with couples to come up with the perfect look for their wedding day is definitely my absolute favorite part about wedding planning because it allows us to get to be creative while also getting to really know a couple. That being said, it is not always the easiest of tasks for couples... I like to blame it mostly on Pinterest since that's where the majority of brides are going nowadays. But trust me, Pinterest is a mind suck and can really make things confusing and seriously overwhelming. There are so many beautiful things on Pinterest don't get me wrong. But your wedding shouldn't just be beautiful, it should be meaningful and fit you as a couple. So here are my 3 top tips on how to come up with the color palette, themes + design that is perfect for you and your fiance.

**The 3 dresses below are all part of our End of Summer Sample Sale and are 15-20% off now through Saturday Sept 20th! To schedule your appointment call us at (912)200-4794, e-mail at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here!

1. Start with the staples: venue first then dress. Once you find that venue I suggest finding your dress. And no not just because we sell dresses.. but because the dress sets the whole mood and the whole tone of your wedding. So you pick a venue that is somewhat of a blank slate whether because its simply a large room with neutral walls or maybe exposed brick, but regardless of that it is a room that does not dictate the style and can really be done up in a multitude of different ways. The possibilities may be endless in this said space. Botany inspired forest theme wedding? Sure. Classic and timeless affair with all white florals and romantic candlelight? Sure. Rocker chic with bold black and white patterns? Sure. Vintage rustic chic with lace and burlap? Sure. See where I'm going with this? Some venues can be overwhelming with how many options and possibilities they are if its a space that does not set the mood on its own. Sooo how is that going to help you when trying to figure out your colors, themes + design? It probably won't to be honest. Well it might... and you might start going in one direction, prior to finding your dress, but then what if you get your dress and then you start to think well shoot this is not going to work. It has happened before with our clients trust me. So my advice is find your venue then find your dress. 2 key starting points.

2. Next, look in your closet (and your fiance's of course, let's not forget about them.) What colors are you seeing? Themes? Patterns? Styles? So for me for example if you look in my closet you are going to see lots of neutrals, black, gray, pale blush and blue, more neutrals and then lots of geometric, aztec and southwestern patterns. If you look in Adrienna's closet you are going to see all floral prints, girly colors, lots of pink. So say Adrienna and I were getting married... color palette of neutrals, black, gray, blush, bold pink and other shades of pinks with a conglomeration of geometric and floral patterns. Sound familiar? Our store maybe? Not feeling inspired by your closet? Then look around your home and try to pick out colors you are drawn to as well as patterns or textures. This may not work for everyone of course, but I think it definitely is a good place to start looking for themes that really truly fit you as a couple.

3. Finalize your colors, themes + overall design and feeling of your wedding and then stop looking. Once you have put together your perfect look and you feel really good about it then its time to just stop looking. Get off Pinterest if you have to unless you are someone who can look at Pinterest and see pretty things that don't fit with your theme and realize they are just that but that they do not fit with what you want for you and your fiance and move on. Think of it this way... when you found your fiance and said yes did you keep looking for someone else? I sure as hell hope not. So treat your wedding theme the same way. Pick it out with your fiance and stick with it because it fits you as a couple not because its pretty but because it is you and your fiance together and its perfect in every way.

What advice do you have for brides getting started planning their wedding and trying to come up with themes and colors? Any tips?
