Fashion Fridays- Breakfast at Tiffany's

We had a very fun photo shoot at The Left Bank featuring our Fancy New York dresses, accessories, and the hair and makeup stylings of Bride Style Beauty. For the bridal portion of the shoot, our lovely model wore the Fancy New York April dress that was accessorized with a Sara Gabriel Astyn feather and crystal birdcage veil and crystal cluster earrings with a pearl center. To add more fun to this look we added a faux fur shrug for that extra bit of glamour. The second half of the shoot went for a Breakfast At Tiffany's theme where our model wore a black Audrey Hepburn-esque dress made by Mario Stamas accessorized with a mini tiara, our statement pearl and crystal necklace, and big crystal earrings.

Weekend Wedding Totes For Your Attendants!

Everyone can use a fresh tote, especially when it's monogrammed for the wedding weekend and useful long after. They're great for bridesmaids gifts, since everyone is usually getting ready at the same location and it's easy to tell "whose bag is whose".
Ours are made in a high grade natural canvas, sturdy black straps and the ever important zipper top closure. We love the diamond style monogram and you can pick and choose the thread colors. It's definitely one of those attendant gifts they'll use over and over and nicely priced at $36, including the personalization.

Monogrammed Weekend Totes $36

Monogrammed Weekend Totes shown in thread colors (left to right): Apple, Red, Aqua. Plus many more to choose from!

A Parisian Wedding Favor

One of our lovely brides, Debra and her now husband, Tom were engaged at the base of the Arc De Triomphe in Paris last year and were just married this past weekend. As a wedding favor to all their guests, Debra had these wonderful t-shirts created with "We'll Always Have Paris" and their names and wedding date in Roman numerals on the bottom. What a fabulous favor, n'est ce pas?
