We want to give a big Bride Room welcome to Street Tuxedo, whose doors officially open today in Green Hills...right here in the Courtyard at Bandywood!

Oh how we love new neighbors....especially when the neighbors and near and dear to us...They are a local family-owned business with hearts as big as their tux selection!! Simply can't say enough good about these folks...truly the kind of people you want to do business with...

Their website is super user-friendly, with a build-your-own-tux feature and the ability to make appointments online....LOVE IT!!!

Girls! This is perfect!!! Dress shopping at The Bride Room and tuxes right next door! Three cheers for convenience when it comes to wedding planning, yes???

Happy Friday!

Ashley + John | February 28, 2009

 Couldn't be happier to introduce you today to sweet Ashley...

Ashley was one of our winter brides and had all the class and composure you could dream of. She was decisive, confident and an absolute dream to work with....She chose her Monique Lhuillier dress and Toni Federici veil and it came together oh so beautifully....

Ashley had her makeup done by the fine ladies at Daniel Cole ...They are one of our neighbors here in the Courtyard at Bandywood, so Ashley popped in the store on her way to the church....ooooh so fun to see a bride on her wedding day!!! Loved, loved, loved how relaxed Ashley when we saw her...and that so clearly made for a beautiful day....

Gorgeous photos by Paul Wharton ... Enjoy!

Local Love

So many of  you ask about where to get cute wedding shoes....for the bride, for moms of the bride & groom....for bridesmaids, showers, teas, luncheons.....all of it!

While we do love our bridal shoes by Grace, you've probably also heard us mention Monkees, the too-cute shoe boutique in Hill Center.....

Super sweet owner and fellow female-business owner Elizabeth has a great eye for style and knows how to make a girl feel good! She just launched her

 Monkees blog and we think you should check it out.....

Not only does Monkees have shoes, but also great bags and jewelry, too!! Their tagline is "You might need a bigger closet"....how can you NOT love it all?!?!!

The Wait is Over!!!

Yes, that shriek you just heard was us.....

Because Priscilla of Boston style 4216 is here! In our store! She's ours! And she can be yours!!!!

They've done it again with a magnificently constructed, sophisticated, gorgeous gown that is also youthful and so current.....Really words on a blog can not express how we adore this dress.... you have to come see her!!!

Spring Fever!

So there's nothing like seventy degrees and sunny to put us in the mood for the official start of Spring this week!

And though we think *every* season is a season for love, there is just something about the renewal and rejuvenation of Spring that makes us daydream of whimsical weddings and bright colorful receptions......

Fun, simple flowers like these below just feel so darn spring-like.....

We've Been Blogged!!!!

Happy March, everyone!!!! Couldn't resist this too cute photo we snagged from the amazing Style Me Pretty blog (a daily read at TBR!)....the colors remind us that spring is right around the corner!!!

So exciting when we get a shout out on another blog :) :) There are so many fabulous, creative, hard-working people in the industry we admire so much and we can't lie....it's humbling and thrilling to be among them!

First...from Ashley's Bridal Guide, a wedding directory for Nashville brides....ABG, along with Nashville HER magazine, both feautured Megan + Jerry's wedding because...well, because it was so beautiful and well executed! Breath-taking really!! Long story, but we (sadly!) did not get to do Megan's dress (timing is everything, girls!!!)....but we adopted her as one of "our" brides anyway and she worked with us on her veiling and fantastic jewelry. Her sweet spirit and well-appointed celebration certainly deserves all the attention it's been getting!! Love it all!! She gave us a li'l shout out here, so we thought we'd share the love!!


Then we get this happy little note from friend and photographer Michael Howard .....Maybe you remember our January post about our oh-so fabulous bride Brooke and her cutie hubby Justin? Well they were featured on the very chic new blog Southern Weddings, an extension of Southern Weddings Magazine. To see more details about their sweet day, you really must check this post out!

Hope your month is off to a great start!!
