In My Window

Coren Moore- Avery Dress in Navy Shantung with a Sky Blue Sash and matching Flower Pin. 

Beauties in Black

When Mimi - the bride - sent me her wedding pictures to peruse through, I was secretly jealous I couldn't have been there. Her wedding looked like a BLAST.  A legit party.  The bride and groom even did a surprise dance for their guests.  Her maids wore long Amsale black chiffon dresses and looked absolutely amazing. Check it.

Love this one!

Yay Mimi's Married!

Gorgeous!

How fun are they?

Congrats Mimi & Jim! 

Saja Wedding Gown

Suzanne was my first bride to buy her dress at Bella.  She got married in July and had an outdoor ceremony.  The weather that day was hot - like 95 degrees hot.  You can't tell from the pictures.  She said the dress was perfect.  I think you'll agree.

Suzanne found Saja online and fell in love with the simple elegance of their gowns.  Her beauty is very evident in the pictures below - but let me just say her personality & spirit are just as beautiful.  Best wishes, Suzanne. It was such a pleasure working with you!

Gaggle of Girls

I'm back from San Francisco. Whew, what a trip. It was so wonderful to meet the other Bellas, exclusive designers and get out of Indy for a few days. Not only did I learn lots from the stores that have been open for years but I got to catch up with the girls that I trained with last Fall who are experiencing all the same things I am as a new business owner.

Bridget said it best at our meeting, she said she would pick all of us to be her friends. I couldn't agree more, I truly enjoyed meeting the rest of my Bella family. Here is a group photo.

Sneak Peak

I am currently in San Francisco for our bi-ennial Bella conference. As expected, it has been a big time. Last night some of our exclusive designers graciously hosted dinner for all of us crazy girls. The food was amazing and the wine seemed.... endless.

Here is a picture of me with Carol Hannah from Project Runway. She is introducing a bridesmaids line that is feminine, fun, and affordable. I can't wait to show you. Meanwhile, feast your peepers on me and my new bestie.

Loving Navy!

Sorry for the break! I am sort of at the mercy of my brides to send me pictures, but be glad you waited because this next picture is worth it. I am a little bummed the bride isn't in the picture because she is adorable and I would have loved to see her POB dress.

Here are Katie's bridesmaids in Simple Silhouettes Aster dress - Navy shantung. I am in love with the flowers. SO pretty and perfect for a July wedding. They just add a fun pop of color. Another thing that I love is that she didn't do matchy matchy jewelry. Seriously, if I worked for Simple Silhouettes I would use this for my website. Doesn't it look like an ad?

I'm kind of obsessed with Navy these days. I have another Navy wedding that I'm hoping to have pictures from soon. In the meantime, enjoy the awesomeness of these bridesmaids. Congrats Katie! Come visit when you're in Indy!

Theta Love!

In college, I was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. I love being a Theta. The connections I've made because of my sorority follow me where ever I go and whatever I do. One of my recent brides was a sorority sister from DePauw. She was in the class above me, so we lived in the house for 2 years together. Ashley was probably the most easy going brides that has walked through Bella's doors. Every bridesmaid got to pick her own style of LulaKate dresses. She put her bridesmaids in Black shantung & her maid of honor in Metal shantung. I took this picture from her photographers blog - Sara and Mallary. Check out pictures from the rest of her wedding. They are stunning!

Congrats again Ashley!
