Vegan Chic!!!

A few weeks ago my dear friend Shannon of Emplume asked me to help her with her brother in law and soon to be sister in law's wedding. The couple are Vegan's so all the decor, favors and even the wedding dress are made from eco-friendly products. I even got to sample some Vegan beer last night...it was pretty tasty! When I got to Shannon's house yesterday I was stunned at all of the beautiful things she had put together. The bouquet is amazing, made out of all recycled paper.

I had no idea what to expect but leave it to Shannon to be able to make just about anything into something Fabulous! I am really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together on Friday and to post some more pictures...hopefully I can snap a few shots of the bride in her custom made Hemp wedding gown!

Our Bride Allison is featured in The Knot!

One of our favorite bride's Allison was recently featured in The Knot Michigan for her fabulous wedding. Check out the online link to some more of her photos and their story. Allison & Matt were married at Heavenly Scent Herb Farm on a gorgeous September day. Their amazing photos were taken by Ksenija Savic who captured their day in a sort of fairy tale way. It is alway so fun to see familiar faces in our local bridal Magazines and makes us so proud to have been a part of their day!

Cherie and Nathan are Married!

Ok so this story is straight out of a movie....A year ago we had a bride by the name of Amy and she had a lovely sister named Cherie. Amy was marrying a very nice Aussie named Mark and who had a brother named Nathan. Cherie and Nathan were the maid of honor and best man at their siblings weddings. Well needless to say they hit it off! So Cherie took a trip to visit her sister at her new home in Australia and also got a chance to spend some more time with Nathan. Within 6 months of their first meeting they were engaged and I was so excited when she came in to purchase her wedding gown from us! And in December (almost 1 year exactly from their first encounter) they tied the knot! So my sister brides married brother's...How fun is that!?! Here are some photos from Cherie and Nathan's big day taken by their Australian photographer Amy Neeson.

This is Cherie and her sister Amy...these girls really are the best of friends

The Beautiful Bride....Such a classic beauty

So fun!

I have been MIA!

But I am back now...It really has been a crazy month! First of all the Bridal Show was a huge success. You can see some of the photos from the day on our Facebook page. I am looking forward to a bigger and even better show next year! Then I got to spend last weekend in the Windy City for Bridal Market! It was, as always, so fun to see all of the latest and greatest in Bridal Fashions. As I expected we saw lots of one shoulder gowns, flower accents and lots of color. And when I talk about color I am not talking about bridesmaids dresses I am talking about bridal gowns. Pink is the new white! We saw lots of wedding gowns in various shades of pink and champagnes. I am excited for the new pieces to hit the store (which will be around the end of summer) so all you 2011 brides, hold on to your veils because the new dresses are GORGEOUS!

So I promise I will post some more, I have some new brides photos to share so stay tuned! ;-)


Much Love,
