#WeddingWednesday

Congratulations to our #WeddingWednesday bride Anna and her husband!

Their wedding was November of 2011 "I was the luckiest girl in the world... I married my once in a lifetime, on a 75 degree, sunshiny day. The day before the wedding it was about 40 degrees and rainy (expectedly so, considering it was mid November) and the day after our wedding it was about 35 degrees with sleet and frost" Anna said. She went on to mention that it was a "gift from grandparents and friends who couldn't be there, but still sent a gift from heaven."

Anna and her husband chose a "rustic chic" theme that featured burlap, lace, birch, neutral colors with splashes of green. The bride talked about some of her unique touches including " handmade clutches for my bridesmaids instead of flowers, a set of handmade birch coasters as gifts for everyone in attendance and broach bouquet for me with pins and pieces from everyone I love, family I never had a chance to meet, and keepsakes."

The wedding took place at Sycamore Hills and the ceremony was held outdoors. Anna boasted about her amazing DJ and Photograper. She also mentioned that "the girls at Bombshell who not only gave my the dress of my dreams, but also dressed my entire bridal party."
Although we planned it in 3 months, there was not a single thing I would change, even if I had planned it in 3 years.
Anna had a great surprise in store for her Mom, she had a college music student play a piano version of "Que Sera Sera", "that was my Grandma Mabels favorite song and she passed away a few years ago." What Anna didnt exspect was what happend after the couples first kiss, "as we turned to take our first walk together, a girl stood up and began to sing. Then another. Then another. Before I knew it, the entire Lake Shore show choir was singing a mash up of LOVE by Nat King Cole and All you need is love by the Beatles. We were surrounded by beautiful voices from these kids, tears of joy from our family and friends."
Anna left us with this final thought, "Three years, two baby girls and lots of memories later, I can only hope that everyone has their dream wedding, feels beautiful, loved and special on their big day. Thank you Bombshell for being such a big part in making me feel all those things! Cheers!"
We couldn't agree more, Anna! Congratulations!

REAL TALK. How to be A Good Bridesmaid

We all know that being a bridesmaid is a blessing AND a curse. Buying a dress that 1. you don’t like and 2. UGH that price tag though! We all know that sometimes being asked to be in a wedding is extremely frustrating. However, when your best friend asks you to be in her wedding it’s hard to not feel honored! She loves you and wants you by her side for the most important day of her life. Please be seated class! Remember that she might be stressed out, and don’t take it personal. She may be stressed because everyone is in her ear telling her what she should do. Ask her if she needs help and most likely she will need it, but might not want to ask. You may not care about all the details, but she does! A good friend will shut up about her wanting paper flowers instead of real ones and help her make “said” paper flowers. She will change her mind at least a dozen times. I am SOOO guilty of this. In this day and age with pinterest, instagram, wedding blogs, and facebook i...

Bombshell Secrets!

First Bombshell was "All about that bass", now we don't if the world knows what our secrets are!! We would like to introduce you to our new music video! "Secrets" by Mary Lambert. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO! The Bombshell team had BLAST making this video, it even featured some of our brides! This song hit us all a different way but what they lyrics say are so true to who we are as a team. We have all struggled at one time or another with our body image, how people see us, and our "secrets". This was our way spreading the message that EVERY body is beautiful and not to hide who you are. We worked with some talented people to create this video! Complete Video Solutions shot the footage and used some pretty amazing techniques to create a really cool look! Hair and make up services were provided to Team Bombshell by the bridal team and Bell Amore Salon . The ladies here have worked with us at bridal shows as well! We love them...
