Picture perfect

I absolutely love this DIY photo collage which
displays a small but poignant collection of
special photographs of the Bride and Groom
and their families.

Selecting older images as well as more recent ones,
makes it more sentimental but also helps to
unite the past with the present.

Take a look at the link below to find out how to DIY.

Soon to Be Mrs...

Looking for a cute gift that is practical and fun for a Bride-to-be?
Our long sleeve cotton hoodies are a perfect gift
for a Bride who is getting married in the Fall or Winter.

They are a great choice to wear to the Salon for the Big Day
because they have a zippered front and are easy to remove
without messing the Bride's hair or makeup.

They are available in black or white in sizes ranging
from small to XL. They can be embroidered with
your choice of words across the back in a colorful
assortment of thread.

The word "Bride" is also available in crystals which
is written across the back. "Mrs" is available as well
and can be placed on the front of the hoody.

Our cotton collection is a favorite choice among our customers.
We also carry tanks, panties, bikinis, robes etc.
Check out the link below to view a more extensive selection
of the fun apparel items that we sell.

"The Kate Effect"

Ever since the Royal Wedding this Spring,
more Brides are seeking inspiration from
the Duchess of Cambridge.
Bride's magazine is calling it "The Kate Effect".
We see a return of the sheer lace sleeve,
more cathedral veils and even the tiara is
making a valiant comeback.

Royal touches that Brides are incorporating
into their own Weddings.

A Workout for the Buff Bride

{Photo courtesy of: www.fitnessmagazine.com/wedding}

Most of the Brides-to-be that come into my Boutique
tell me that they are embarking on a very structured
fitness regimen to look fabulous on their Wedding Day.
Most of the ladies want to change either their
exercise habits or just eat healthier.
Since I am on quite of a workout mission myself
(and read Fitness Magazine on a monthly basis:-)
I thought I would start searching for some helpful articles.

So, as I was eating my lunch today and flipping through
the latest issue, I found a program for the Buff Bride,
which specifically targets the arms, shoulders and back.
Therefore, if you are interested in becoming a
workout Queen or Princess before your Wedding,
and wearing a strapless gown,
take a look at this link below and see what you think...
And yes, I did sign up for the 6 week Bridal Bootcamp:-)!!!
