DESIGNER FEATURE: Jillian Fellers

You have probably noticed we have been MIA in the blog department... well we have some exciting news! We are working on making a brand new website + blog, to make everything cleaner and easier to sue! We are so excited, and can't wait for it to go up soon! So in the meantime, we haven't been on top of our blog game. But don't worry, we will be back to it soon!

Today we are talking about our current trunk show: Jillian Fellers! We have had these amazing gowns in our shop before, and brides loved them! So we are really excited to have them back in the shop as part of Wed Altered. Her newest collection is so soft, so beautiful, and full of so many fun colors. She has gowns in ivory, blush, gray and even mint. (yes MINT!) We are absolutely over the moon, and can't wait for brides to try them on! We will have all of these gowns through the end of July, so make sure to set up your appointment before they are gone!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: 4th of July

We love a wedding with the color palate of AMERICA! Red White + Blue! As we celebrate our nations holiday (and a day off!) we take time to look at some weddings that mix the perfect amount of patriotic flair with style. You can either use pops of red white and blue (like in your cake or stationary), or really make it stand out with gingham and flags. Whichever you chose, it is sure to make a statement!

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!

THOUGHTS TUESDAY: Mint To Be

So this blog post started from this dress from Rent The Runway. It's one of the prettiest dresses I have ever seen, and man oh man I wish I had a place to rent it! It made me think of the newest jewelry from Chloe + Isabel, which has lot's of opal and mooonstones! Mint has been popular in weddings for years, but I think it's a trend here to stay! If you want to do something other then the popular mint and blush combo, I recommend adding different accent colors, like gold and turquoise.

SIMPLY WED: Sarah + Joe

There is a ton that can be said about Sarah + Joe's wedding. Sarah is one of our best friends, and we met her when she first moved down to Savannah to be with Joe who was stationed at Hunter Army Airfield. Having friends that own a bridal shop is convenient , so she went shopping for her wedding dress with us! She ended up picking a classic trumpet gown by Nicole Miller that was perfect. Simple, clean and classic. After a few alterations, it fit her perfectly. She added a sash and hair comb for the perfect amount of sparkle. 

She completely trusted us in planning, and let us pick most of the details! She wanted purple, so made sure to incorporate purple into her linens and flowers. We have a huge selection of glass and spray painted bottles, so we used those with greenery foraged from around Savannah. Nicole wanted to have something be a surprise, so she wrote out their love story on various frames, and placed it on the head table, spelling out their story of how they met. They wanted their wedding to be focused on fun and family, so we had various tables set up at Brockington Hall, with cocktail tables so people could mingle all night. They had a jam + biscuit bar for cocktail hour, with their signature drink being Moscow Mules. Instead of traditional catering, they had local favorite Zunzi's do a buffet, which was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved the food! Instead of a cake, they had donuts, with army men scattered on them, and a guitar and plane as their cake topper. Sarah is a local musician, so she made her playlist for the night, and had friends sing the ceremony music. The night was filled with so much love and laughter. Her father was the officiant, and made everyone tear up during the ceremony, and especially during their first dance (where he sang to her as they danced!) Their wedding was a dream, and everything was so beautiful, and so perfect for Sarah and Joe. We are so lucky to have been apart of it, and to have such a great group of friends!
