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: Stephanie James Couture + Leopard Print

Today's wedding inspiration started with an adorable tealength Stephanie James Couture wedding dress rocked by a bride in that top left picture. So from there comes funky wedding inspiration in a color palette of red, leopard print, and pale blues. Think a little bit rockabilly. Anyway, our Pop-Up Shop with Stephanie James Couture is going on now through August 2nd!! To check out this collection while we have it call us at (912)200-4794, click here or e-mail us at ivoryandbeau@gmail.com!!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Pomegranate

Lately Nicole has been bringing in pomegranates to work everyday. I used to not be a huge fan of these seeded fruits, but they've been growing on me. Especially when she spills it all over the floor. Now our store smells like an air freshener. What I find most inspiring about them are their color. That rich red and cream colored center is the perfect palate for fall (especially since fall is when they are in season!) Did you know that each pomegranate has anywhere from 200-1400 seeds? That's a lot of reasons to fall in love with this fall classic. (Like my pun?!)
