#WeddingWednesday on a Tuesday

With Wednesday being Christmas Eve we decided to treat you with an early #WeddingWednesday post!

Congratulations to our bride Katherine and her husband who were wed on October 18th, 2014 in Ann Arbor at The Valley. Kathrine wrote us a beautifully detailed email with her wedding story and we are so excited to share her memories of their special day.
"From the beginning of my wedding planning I hadn't given my thought to a dress or what I wanted. My mother heard really amazing things about bombshell bridal so I figured I would give them a shot. Really what did I have to lose? I went in not having any idea what I wanted. Everyone who worked at the shop did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable, important and beautiful. They had a huge selection with a very wide range of prices. I was a bride on a budget and they picked a few in my price range. I was so torn between two different dresses and I picked a dress that was a bit cheaper but had more of a classic look to it. I was sold."
October 18th 2014 was a little over cast and cold which was a bit of a bummer because we had talked about being married outside but the weather had another idea. The Valley is a beautiful venue inside and out so we decided that inside was just as good. After I was primped to walk down the isle I was ready for my first look with my soon to be husband. As I walked over to him I couldn't believe this was all really happening. My eyes watered with all the emotions and exhaustion that has led up to this point. He was the most handsome I had ever seen him because lets face it ladies, there is NOTHING more sexy then a man in a well fitting suit. We hugged for a moment and then started laughing. The emotions had passed and we were just in love and ready for the remainder of the day. 
I walked as gracefully as I could down the isle. I made it nearly all the way down before tripping and almost falling on my pretty primped butt. My beloved then came down and rescued me. A lot of people must have wondered why I didn't have my dad walk me down. Truth is, is that I didn't need anyone to give me away, after 10 years of dating I was his and he was mine. The ceremony was short and sweet, we said our I do's and walked back down the isle to start our happily ever after and celebrate with everyone we loved and cherished."
What a sweet, emotional and wonderful day it seemed, congratulations to the newly weds!

Bridal Shows

Bridal shows are the best way for you, the busy bride to plan your wedding with ease! Shows are an exciting, fun, festive way to meet different necessary vendors. These vendors are there for you, they are there to talk with you, give you information and help you find what services fit your wedding.  Shows can also be a bit overwhelming, as a salon we see this happen a lot! Make sure to plan ahead and are ready for day, here are some tips from us.  Bring important people, groom included. Don't invite your entire bridal party, save that for other activities, this is a chance for you to really figure out what you need and want to have at your wedding.  Make a list of the products and service you need most, visit them first.  Ask for a map of the show, you can see where specific vendors are placed and it will help you navigate.  Print out your name, wedding date, and contact info on labels, this saves a lot of time for entries at vendor tables.  ...

12 Things Brides Forget Before Their Wedding Day

BRING EXTRA SHOES! Those gorgeous heels you bought? Yeah, by the time the reception rolls around your feet will be killing you! Bring an extra pair of flats so you can keep dancing and socializing the night away. You’ll thank me later. Decide what to do with the gifts. This is often forgotten during the wedding planning process, but still pretty important thing to remember! Make sure you assign someone to pack up the gifts and tell them where to take them. Especially if you are leaving on your honeymoon that night! You don’t want to decide what to do with them after you have had a few glasses of champagne. ;) Assign someone responsible to take care of the marriage license! Your officiant will take two copies and one is your souvenir. (Yes, you will sign three of them.) Make sure you don’t ask your cousin who has had 4 possibly 6 drinks that night already. A pretty hanger for your wedding dress. Since your dress will be photographed you want to make s...

#WeddingWednesday Taara + Malcolm 9-5-15

Wait until you see how beautiful Taara is! Their wedding was BEAUTIFUL! See what she had to say about her big day: "Our ceremony took place at Rock of  Ages Christian Ministries.   Our ceremony was short and sweet and only lasted about 20 minutes. My dad walked me down the aisle as my only brother sang to me.  I had my 2 favorite guys share this special moment with me and that meant everything to me. My husband and I exchanged vows and demonstrated us becoming one by taking part in a wine communion ceremony.  Once that was all said and done, we were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hatcher. My fiancé thought that I was the most beautiful bride in the world. He absolutely loved my dress. I felt like a princess in my wedding dress. I never in a million years though that I could feel that way ! Being plus size can put a lot of doubt in your mind when it comes to finding that perfect dress for on...
