We had decided a few months ago that the 1000th bride to purchase her dress would get the ultimate gift of her gown on the house! I did not think that Saturday was going to be the day but we had a really busy day and I started getting so excited as each dress sold got us closer and closer to 1,000. At the end of the day we surprised a lucky bride with the news. She was over the moon with excitement as were all of us!<br /><br />It's amazing to look back and think that we have been included in such a huge moment in a woman's life. Choosing your wedding gown is something that, I have learned, you just never forget. So thank you to all the brides who have blessed our lives and we look forward to many many more brides in the future!<br /><br />Congratulations Jen! I am so excited for you and hope this adds that much more to such a special time in your life!!!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Here are a few photos that captured the moment we told her...Priceless!!<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668268277989967922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3WdPcjE3RGZuhAQXmkzLsCPfHrQqz_Zuzg5tW7uv7dqiqJ3GfngiDj5KHZ81O0VtHc_aY529cWx64JpY5qu5NGJxhQcSPSmI_SknJHvpJJ_CQjoDb83wm8xkByfJCxpTJA6f3UN1_jQ/s320/008.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668268266284402962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBx0AYBiG72VmVTkkjB5mt1a_8oPiYhq3DQqGHQhehyE_NiXh6qGjfucp31aME3r4zaKpo_BePCBMXlC88vIAO_RAl3f4GOH0Agj32ZUyMH9pON0w3ebye_EpgK3xH0Y_KvdgXHJiPSA/s320/005.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668268267503975058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhja5wHG26FzcWUJX6dyNMmqWZxBlCRH-TzV4a_4IKPIyEZMEBtFift3x76UC4d-aJMkpBU2x9BIbCJmqperoGMeJA5Q-hagj4jW8RlMsKFseSGTGpVQq6NQ_JFEw_mROdzBvd_RSas7g/s320/007.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668268282485387586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjobd-Aq_P2_wnNX8ggGEdOQR2x5NwpPaUPnx1WXpzIPFhzIH6G8dYZ15Gul7jDsn9rlPEO0f4IIig4jHEex2yUU1jZDm0J65K-X9FPHMTwLXJvxlo4UQuBTUC9kMBn50_afD2QYNiOXQ/s320/010.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668268295774954338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi60bXufwkRKPE2yXAv4VZOm1RpwVqyQP65zQmikjcnbVl619s4mtknhyTD0_ZPpgVvGG9HYOiNArXLUq81xqKtH4Um1g22snsR419dVPKnzvYdu4Y7i5J9eB9Jo0KZA26q87WdKmHCQQ/s320/free_wedding_dress_shopping%2521_002.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668268481506290642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0B4PQRSDLmuYIX2AMoFU1tuQ-ulbw7P6tiqn9zGIrlLrDud9XzoKsdN58rkjX2fJrs6dCZ2MsQL1qYS6VkrtgK0RTRfw2zzG6_kcvOAx7BoJgiTwOFYHNteyHYuk9Wu7VjHDe8KVlg/s320/free_wedding_dress_shopping%2521_005.JPG" />Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16868432285333275141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766306457308889256.post-15551538393545298022011-03-16T14:30:00.004-04:002011-03-16T15:05:38.260-04:00It's Spring Time!I love spring, I love the smell of it, the days when you can begin to feel the warmth of the sun again, the spotting of the first robins and the first worms! Spring is all about new beginnings and new growth and we are keeping up with the season around here. We have so many new things happening around here.<br /><br />The first and most exciting is that we have expanded our store so that we now have a dedicated area for Alterations. So they now happen right here everyday that we are here. Our fabulous seamstress Paulita came to us looking for a new beginning and when we discussed expanding so that we could have an alterations department her enthusiasm and excitement just put us over the edge on making the decision. So if you still need to make your appointment to have your wedding gown or bridesmaids dress altered you can call her directly at 248-714-5698. She also does outside alterations so even if you didn't buy your dress from us you can still come in for alterations.<br /><br />We also picked up a new line to feature in the store. We are going to be adding<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.Enzoani.com"> Enzoani</a> bridal gowns to our list of fabulous designers! The dresses are just beautiful and what really sold me are all of the options you get with them! We have quite the reputation for being able to customize wedding gowns so in looking for a new line I only wanted to work with a designer that was willing to make changes to their gowns and once I had been turned on to Enzoani I couldn't turn them off! I think their gowns are so gorgeous and have such a couture feel! I can't wait for you all to see them. I will let you know when I nail down a Trunk show date.<br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">Here is a sneak peak at a few of the gowns we will have in the store within the next few months.<br /></span></div><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 223px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584749435235664514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0ndkg7dqWU_D-UijekInk7Rz7_1VxDuarGwPivQ61wZSQx_mKDWboBRrX8yAvND12-G5TC_QbXEKoBCypp4CPxdZmdRSeWgsH2f3dq7QRQLHvd3ZGZ-tJSMeBqTE1ASc5JOgQ8koOA/s320/Diana.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584749442110196130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpIkQsLlD_ude_lo_gIIZ3bQXd9t1WLJpL8vdUenX_au8thz1Jhb5HzRjPq-a8FWLvPdQ8DFIDKrWBIYwwsZqK4d0VTDeFtOVn5wJ9mS0OhehhW9eSfiJIqO0I07p7WmEKQ1uW-LTxA/s320/Fatima.jpg" /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Amazing right?! And the best part is that all of the belts are interchangeable and can easily be worn again! I had a few of them on yesterday while I was trying to decide which dresses to order!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:100%;">The Third exciting piece of news I have is that Gina's Bridal has been chosen to host the Fall 2011 Anjolique gowns for the next month. We are the only store in the Country who has this opportunity! These gowns will not be revealed to other stores until Bridal Market in April! So if you want to get a first look at these beautiful dresses book an appointment right away! They are only here for a limited time. I promise I will upload some images when I receive them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:100%;">So as you can see we are BUSY around here and to top it off Bridal Season is right around the corner!

Robyn is a jewelry artist and made all her own jewelry for the wedding and then commisioned a local glass blower to make her bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets! How cool is that?!

In our world we don't focus too much on the boys, which they very graciously understand. However, when I saw these ties I just had to share them with all of our brides.<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/toybreaker?ga_search_query=Toybreaker&ga_search_type=seller_usernames">Cyberoptix Tie Lab</a> is a Detroit based company makes custom ties to suit just about any color palette or theme.

Seriously though I LOVE this website. First of all I love the quality of everything I have ever ordered from there and secondly I love being able to support USA artisans. Etsy.com rocks. If you haven't been on it you should check it out but beware because you will get hooked!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460059609188773378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTIqgRaVG46WOgWqlVCARlZxwQ6KTIi609vWj85X1lRStwSpMfpsqcNdnO-4tSC-pr1EzPR3Xz9GHiLnp7MqecedOw_rMEZaPoVanP-fc0zdHax2j447_auPscR24CqLdDN4IXgHRspw/s400/collarstays.jpg" /><br />Anyway while I was crusing on Etsy today I found these really cute collar stays. Now I am sure you are thinking <em>Who cares about collar stays? </em>But most of our hubby's or hubby's-to-be have to go to work in business attire which means if you are anything like me everytime you do the laundry you find these things in the dryer! Well these super adorable collar stays can have a special message put on them. How cute would it be to secretly put these in your guys shirt and let him find them, or because our better halves are not always that observant, you could slip a note somewhere he would find it and tell him there is a secret under his collar. I love it! I am totally going to order these for my husband.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTz5GUC6Htt1z20PzibxTFgTIUznLopDBI-uWv8i7XSSXrXJ6DP4v9nvmBUKzwwBAH7cobkaN_XwLS1EA7phsusXBuYHJB3qVWFHlmsyZQDxQHmH3NTyN0FAwLugLD-HFEqfJ3vTsBqg/s1600/thehummingbirdnest.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460057905168729186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTz5GUC6Htt1z20PzibxTFgTIUznLopDBI-uWv8i7XSSXrXJ6DP4v9nvmBUKzwwBAH7cobkaN_XwLS1EA7phsusXBuYHJB3qVWFHlmsyZQDxQHmH3NTyN0FAwLugLD-HFEqfJ3vTsBqg/s400/thehummingbirdnest.jpg" /></a><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheHummingbirdNest">Stainless Steel Collar Stays</a></p>Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16868432285333275141noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766306457308889256.post-89431268126997680992010-04-15T13:42:00.003-04:002010-04-15T13:46:02.442-04:00Join us this Sunday April 18th!Hello Ladies (and any gents that also read my blog), We are participating in the 2010 Spring Bridal Show at the Howell Opera House this Sunday, April 18th.

And we aren't talking about your Granny's silk flowers. Today's flowers are made from the finest fabrics and we love them most when they are made out of feathers! Adding flowers to a simple dress is an easy way to add some personality. You can make a dress totally romantic and a little bit whimsical by adding flowers. These types of gowns are perfect for an outdoor ceremony or a summer wedding. If you don't want to commit to having flowers on your dress it is always amazing as a hair accessory or how fantastic are these shoes?!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLtr9hHkCRhdpcMcQl4JDcs_QDWMWpRhs3iWBmMO8NJM3n_HMJ8fw0FGe9kcdkvEZcpNxdlRaqVvAmdEyieB0jyhmuMPzMdWyY_xVYzUZfchZJ7QdDJpizOIimPOomC9xqFok1kFxxug/s1600/FlowerCollage.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 401px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 262px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460046157170207538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLtr9hHkCRhdpcMcQl4JDcs_QDWMWpRhs3iWBmMO8NJM3n_HMJ8fw0FGe9kcdkvEZcpNxdlRaqVvAmdEyieB0jyhmuMPzMdWyY_xVYzUZfchZJ7QdDJpizOIimPOomC9xqFok1kFxxug/s400/FlowerCollage.jpg" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.AlfredSungBridals.com">Wedding Dress</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.Anjolique.com">Wedding Dress w/Flower Belt</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.Anjolique.com">Wedding Dress & flower veil</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.NinaShoes.com">Shoes</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ArbieGoodfellow.com">Hair Flower</a></span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">You will even find bridesmaids dresses with the beautiful blooms on them! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 338px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460050751598589106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix0ZOLbjAlfAOdVN0Z_lomdPCXAl3bjqj9cqc-nE7Mf2DmmdS2wao9zn4ieBtKEzBJ9L-PWm0FeIJNahgpkdGzWpklWK-skb092rdewM7wdz4nrI8TUoqcmJbXQmhKQZG-bYdlidb4Ow/s400/BridesmaidFlowerCollage.jpg" /><span style="font-size:78%;">From the left: <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.Jasminebridal.com">Bridesmaid Dress</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeautifulBlossoms?ga_search_query=Beautiful+Blossoms&ga_search_type=seller_usernames">Flower Headband</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.JasmineBridal.com">Bridesmaid Dress</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.Jasminebridal.com">Bridesmaid Dress</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BrideCouture?ga_search_query=BrideCouture&ga_search_type=seller_usernames">Flower Necklace</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.JasmineBridal.com">Bridesmaid Dress</a></span><br /></div><div align="left">So now that you have seen how Fabulous flowers can be and you want to add some to your dress don't hesitate to let me know.

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!?!

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!<br /><br />So I promise I will post some more, I have some new brides photos to share so stay tuned! ;-)<br /><br /><br /> Much Love,<br /> <br /> GinaGinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16868432285333275141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766306457308889256.post-61371088528243783812010-02-08T13:43:00.003-05:002010-02-08T13:47:49.805-05:00Marry Me in Milford Bridal Show!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3xeEBAU15g0oXe8dRm-TFIzziElhaqIz3qNiDuKamP5zkIkswcSroRZFpOoDb7UryIhCqLy2QPXHW17gasgiEMszW_6JRkFRvMCCXwye1lrymmyP8CbSr3SqlGr4-V25gDZblNUcsA/s1600-h/BRIDAL-SHOW-FLYER.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3xeEBAU15g0oXe8dRm-TFIzziElhaqIz3qNiDuKamP5zkIkswcSroRZFpOoDb7UryIhCqLy2QPXHW17gasgiEMszW_6JRkFRvMCCXwye1lrymmyP8CbSr3SqlGr4-V25gDZblNUcsA/s400/BRIDAL-SHOW-FLYER.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435945570581475538" /></a>Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16868432285333275141noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766306457308889256.post-51453831994130599282009-12-15T16:09:00.002-05:002009-12-15T16:14:33.695-05:00Kelly and David's Wedding TrailerToday the fabulous <a href="http://www.honce.com/">Jamie Honce</a> posted the trailer for the wedding video of one of my favorite Brides.

It was truly the best day of my life! <br /> But one of the things that stands out is that my husband and I sang a duet. We each sang our part as we were walking down the seating tiers to the stage. It was a surprise to our guests, so everyone was clapping for us and watching, and it was a lot of fun. Also, my dress turned out perfect. I added a purple sash for the reception, and had the champagne colored one that came with the dress for the ceremony. The buttons all the way down the back were so beautiful, and I ended up with a French-type bustle, which looked nice.Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16868432285333275141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766306457308889256.post-49402492595129780212009-09-09T17:21:00.003-04:002009-09-09T17:55:58.673-04:00New San Patrick Gowns!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgulMYsqFG68ZQJiKYv_oitQKlhLf3JGOB7rMqEazzvfqdMVoCPI4ISTeFiepLhfEjA69QXKPzbqg06fdubVulQTtoKirAstJeLGWrPrn0lohAxMTT0OkULvYwPQxnBPnKDQgxgeveXaA/s1600-h/EDEN-B.jpg"></a> We have new arrivals.
