BRIDESMAIDS MONDAY: Rebecca Schoneveld Dress and Dusty Rose + Mint

Today wanted to show off one of our newest dresses coming soon from Rebecca Schoneveld. This chiffon dress flows like heaven. And I am obsessed with lace long sleeve overlays. This look is very classic and feels very vintage inspired to me. And I love it. For the color palette I envision pale dusty rose and turquoise with vintage reminiscent bridesmaids dresses and styled shoes.

Holidays are coming up. Which means holiday parties are also coming up. Which means time to purchase a new party dress? Maybe some sparkly heels? Glitter tights? All of the above?

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Wedding Paper Divas Boundless Blossoms + Sarah Seven Violet Hour

Not going to lie... I am not one who rushes to go shopping Black Friday or even the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am quite content enjoying the warm comfort of my couch watching episode after episode of my TV show of the moment. That being said... I do love a good sale on stuff I need, such as white strips buy one get one free. Yup, I am all for that. Or even better... how about getting the stuff I need online and not even having to get in my car and drive somewhere but still save a ton of money. I am so down for that. And that brings me to the awesome sale Wedding Paper Divas is having right now that we wanted to share with ya'll - 25% off sitewide. So if you are in need of some amazing invitations be sure to check out their current sales going on. I am pretty much obsessed with these Boundless Blossoms invitations, part of their BHLDN collection. So of course I was inspired to create a mood board featuring not only these floral print invites but also one of our newest dresses, Violet Hour by Sarah Seven. Click here to check out the sale! Happy shopping and hope ya'll had a fantastic Thanksgiving!

{STYLED SHOOT} Moons, Stars + Tarot Cards

So excited that we finally are sharing this styled shoot we did at one of Savannah's newest + hippest venues, Cohen's Retreat!!! We are pretty much obsessed with this venue. It is unique, has awesome furniture, and amazing interior design. We are also extremely excited that we get to be a part of our first wedding here this fall for our clients, Amber + David!!! Anyway, huge thank you to Mackensey Alexander for capturing all of the details of this shoot, which was inspired by art nouveau, stars + moons and tarot cards. 

Beyond Beautiful by Heather did hair and makeup for our lovely models and we love how funky and fabulous they looked!! Our bride wore a Sarah Seven gown and our bridesmaid wore a Veronica Sheaffer dress. All the accessories modeled by them are by Jaclyn Jordan. The ceremony backdrop was a craft project that Adrienna + I DIYed in the shop one day... with lots of rhinestones... Our reception table was styled by Amber Veatch using chargers + silverware rentals from her new company, Set Event Rentals. We borrowed chairs from Savannah's newest vintage rental company, Rentiquity and other decor was from Simply Southern Wedding. The flowers were designed by Madame Chrysanthemum. Kaitlin Slattery did all the printable designs and the handwritten calligraphy and last but obviously not least since it was seriously delicious was the cake by Lulu's Chocolate Bar... which we of course devoured minutes after Mackensey was done photographing all the details of our shoot!!! Anyway, we hope you enjoy looking at all the loveliness!! And huge thank you to all the vendors who participated and collaborated with us!!

Ivana Krejci makes such beautiful gowns, that are not only beautiful on, but comfortable! For example, her Julia gown features beautiful drape-work, but is light as a feather!

Well... we are super excited to announce that we are going to start bringing smaller bridal designers to Savannah for a short limited time during our Pop-Up Shops to share collections that we don't normally carry in our boutique.

Our VCD Collection by The Cotton Bride will be featured at Ivory + Beau from Thursday February 27th through Monday March 3rd only!! **We will also be open on Sunday March 2nd to allow more time for brides to come and see the collection.**

So a little bit about the VCD Collection by The Cotton Bride: This airy, cool and lightweight collection by Chris Kole features gowns using only 100% natural silk, cotton and linen fabrics. Hear that?? Lightweight... summer brides out there? These dresses will be absolutely perfect for the hot Savannah heat.
