Audrey What Was Your Favorite Part of Your Wedding??

I loved so many things about my wedding day. It was truly the best day of my life!
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.

What a weekend!

For all of you that attended our Anjolique and Laura Jayne Trunk Shows....Thank YOU! It was a weekend full of beautiful gowns, sparkles and great accessories. If you didn't get to make it I am going to try and have another one this winter. Here are a few photos from the weekend.

Don't Forget: Laura Jayne Trunk Show Coming Up!

Starting Monday August 24th we are having a huge accessories Trunk Show!

Laura Jayne is the designer we will be featuring. It is a line we have never carried in our store. I saw one of her ads in a magazine and at that time was looking for a new accessories line. I checked out her website and was a little underwhelmed but I decided to give her a call. Low and behold I got to speak to Laura herself and we started chatting and it seemed like we could work really well together. After talking a few times we decided to book a trunk show to see how we liked the line. Well, let me tell you, the box arrived today and the pieces are extraordinary! I am so pleased with this line, the quality and the price, I cannot even tell you.

If you are looking for some amazing accessories we have Jewelry, Veils, Headbands, Hairpins and a ton more! You are definitely going to want to stop in for this one. Like I said it starts on Monday August 24th and runs thru the 29th. Appointments would be strongly recommended.

Carrie and Matt - August 1, 2009

Carrie and Matt were Married on August 1st. I wanted to share some of their preview pictures taken by Ray Anthony Photography. He really captured how happy the couple is and of course how stunning Carrie is. She wore a Casablanca Bridal Gown in Ivory and Champagne. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos...Here are a few of my favorites.

It was so wonderful getting to know Carrie and her Mom, and I am so happy that you had such a beautiful Day. Congratulations Carrie and Matt I hope that your wedding day was just the beginning of a lifetime of happy days!

Alexis and Nate - August 8, 2009

I had the pleasure this weekend of working with Alexis and Nate. Even though the weather wasn't cooperating, Alexis looked amazing and remained calm throughout. Alexis choose a
Bari Jay dress that we ordered in Ivory and a Bird Cage Veil. She looked absolutely Timeless. We also had the pleasure of dressing the groomsmen in their Chocolate Brown Tuxedos. As a gift to the groomsmen Nate purchased brown Chuck Taylor's for them all to wear instead of the traditional dress shoes. Loved it! These are a couple of the beautiful shots taken by JCL Photography.

Congratulations Alexis and Nate, I hope you enjoyed your day and it turned out to be more than you imagined. Have Fun in VEGAS!!!

Allison: What was your favorite part of your wedding?

I have a couple favorite parts. I really loved the wedding ceremony itself. We got married at the Catholic church I have gone to all my life, and the priest that married us is the same one that baptized me when I was a baby and gave me my First Communion. The ceremony itself was beautiful, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to become Mrs. Waltz.

I also loved being able to spend my wedding day with my Maid-of-Honor, Kerry, who moved to Delaware, as you well know. It was such a bittersweet day in that respect, because she and Bryan drove away to move the very next morning and it's so strange that I haven't seen her since my wedding day.

Overall though, of course the very best part was marrying Greg and vowing to love and remain faithful to each other in front of God and our family and friends.

Thank you so much for being part of my special day, and for always being so welcoming and warm through this entire process! It really meant a lot, and I always tell newly engaged girls to go to your store. See you soon!!

Allison

Congratulations Erin and William!

Erin and William were married on May 16, 2009. Erin emailed me the preview of her photos taken by Dionne of The Shooting Gallery. She made an incredibly beautiful bride! Erin wore a full lace gown by San Patrick. The minute she laid eyes on that gown she knew it was the one and she looked stunning in it. Below are a few shots from her day. To see more of her preview go to The Shooting Gallery Blog

Congratulations Erin and William! You make a beautiful couple and we are so happy for the two of you. We hope you have tons of love and laughter throughout your lifetime together.

Congratulations Lisa and Frank!

I had the pleasure of attending Lisa and Frank's Wedding on Sunday June 7th. The reception was held at Farmington Hills Manor. The bride was wearing San Patrick, Regazo and she was stunning. Here are few photos from their reception.

These were the tall centerpieces, all of the flowers were just beautiful!

The amazingly beautiful cake....And it was delicious!

The Happy Couple!

Thank you both for letting me be a part of your special day! We all hope you have enough happiness to last you a lifetime. Have a wonderful time in Italy!

Video Trailer from Ashley & Kyle's Wedding

I received this video clip from Jamie Honce of the highlights from Ashley and Kyle's wedding. They were married on May 16th at the Orchard Lake Country Club. Ashley was a beautiful bride in a San Patrick Gown. We also did the Tuxedo's for Groom and the Groomsmen. Here you can see how Jamie can capture the moments of your day.

Congratulations Cecilia and Ross!

Cecilia and Ross were married over Memorial Day Weekend. She sent me the link to her photos today which were taken by Widdis Photography. Congratulations to the two of you I hope you always feel the love for eachother like you do today.

Best Wishes!

I had to share this picture because it really shows off Cecilia's beautiful bustle done by our seamstress Susan.

I think this is my favorite photos out of all of her pictures. So pretty!

New Bridal Line at Gina's

We are very excited and proud to be carrying a new line for us. Come in and see Anjolique in our store and also stay tuned for an upcoming Trunk Show we will be having with them. They are beautiful, well constructed gowns at great prices.

Cute Idea

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing makeup for one of our brides, Sara, and she told me about the cutest idea that I just had to share with all of you. At the reception they put self addressed post cards at each persons place setting asking them to write down their well wishes and favorite moments from the wedding so that when they got home from their honeymoon they would have a mailbox full of all of their friends and families memories and words of advice. I think this is such an neat, inexpensive thing to do!



Sara and Bob were married and had their reception in Downtown Detroit so they used all Detroit themed postcards. But you could use and type including custom made postcards, or vintage one's that you may find at an antique store.

Funny Friday

I found this hilarious photo of Stella. So now you can all see that she has a wedding dress too!

Melissa: What was your Favorite Part of your wedding??

Our wedding day was the most amazing and special day of my life. There were more memorable moments than I can even count! There is not only one thing that sticks out as my favorite part of our wedding, but numerous. I think the ceremony when Brandon and I said our vows to each other and made the promise to love each other for the rest of our lives was definitely the most special. After all, that is what it is all about right? Everything about our day was perfect and I would live it over and over if it was possible. Becoming Brandon's wife was the best part for me, and all the celebrating with our two families made the night memorable. All my dreams came true on our wedding day and I wouldn't change anything for the world!
