DESIGNER FEATURE: Anna Campbell + Sparkle

We love glitz and sparkle, and Anna Campbell delivers! Her Giselle gown is a true stunner, with a sheer beaded back, beaded bodice, and lace detailed bottom. Just because you are wearing sparkle doesn't mean you can't accessorize with sparkle! We love the idea of having your bridesmaids in a shimmer, but either in a neutral or a dark color (like black) so they don't outshine you! You can also easily add sparkle with your decor! Add some glittered tea lights to your centerpiece, and it will allow the light to really sparkle around the room!

BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: New Years Eve Masquerade + Sarah Seven Blythe

Whenever the ladies over at Paprika ask to borrow one of our dresses we are beyond excited. The styling and the work they produce is just magical. I am in love with this winter shoot they did for the newest Winter Issue and was inspired to put together a lookbook for bridesmaids and some bridal accessories from Rent the Runway that fit with this Sarah Seven dress and a New Years Eve Masquerade theme!! Would you be brave enough to have your ladies shining in blinged out bridesmaids dresses? It is probably one of my favorite looks for bridesmaids if it fits the theme + of course doesn't outshine your own wedding dress... Anyway, to shop Sarah Seven call us at (912)200-4794, e-mail ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here!!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Sarah Seven Golden Lights

One of our favorite dresses is Golden Lights by Sarah Seven. This dress is covered in gold sequins, and the classic Sarah Seven bodice with a sweetheart neckline and corset top. We loved seeing it The Not Wedding Savannah, and this beautiful image by Mackensey Alexander captures it so perfectly! It has the perfect balance of sweet and fun, and brides have been loving it in short too! (It's makes an amazing reception dress!) Golden Lights looks stunning among the twinkling lights of an evening wedding, with hanging cafe lights and gold glitter.
