In the midst of our Sample Sale Extravaganza, we were thrilled to get these pictures from TBR bride, Tara! Tara found TWO wonderful Amsale dresses at The Bride Room on sample sale and wore them BOTH at different ceremonies in Nashville, TN & Rosemary Beach, FL. She paid a fraction of the retail price for these gowns... but you would never know! She looked absolutely stunning.

Oh, Ladies... What a wonderful Day!

Stephanie Arnold and Charlotte Poling

Just thought I'd do a quick post on what a wonderful day this is... a day to be celebrated for certain!  If you've been in our store, you've met Stephanie - the beautiful, talented, ever so chic, self-described fashionista, Stephanie -- and I'm quite certain that even if you didn't find the gown of your dreams, you found a friend in Steph.  And if you did find the gown of your dreams, you've received countless encouraging, spirited emails and phone calls from her.  Well, today marks her year anniversary with The Bride Room and I wanted all of you to know what a joy she is to have as a part of The Bride Room family!   I thank my lucky stars day after day to have her and know that as one of our brides, you do too!   Three cheers for Steph and the amazing work she does for all of us!!!

Surprise Visit... What a Treat!

What a pleasure we enjoyed this morning... a surprise visit from world renowned designer Reem Acra!  To what do we owe this honor!?  Her brother is a Nashville resident and pediatric doc at Vanderbilt and better yet, just had a baby girl....  looks like the sweet eyes of baby have pulled at Reem's heartstrings and she has started her frequent visits to the Music City.  We were so pleased by Reem's visit today -- a simple chat about the industry and the city and then she was off...  and as soon as she left, we realized we didn't as much as THINK of a photograph!! Sorry to disappoint with no photographic evidence... guess you'll have to take our word that she was a delight and as charming as ever!  Many thanks, Reem, for making our Saturday... you are welcome anytime, as always!  Love Love....

We were well represented!


Monique Lhuillier with The Bride Room Owner, Charlotte Poling

So, we're still on cloud nine from last night's festivities at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center:: The annual Spring Fashion Show sponsored by the lovely Gus Mayer store in Green Hills Mall... 

First I just have to THANK you all --- The Bride Room was well represented!!  During the cocktail hour Monique made her rounds with her precious husband Tom and after our original introduction, she stopped me again and said, "By the way, you are well represented tonight!  Everyone keeps telling me they wore our gown at their wedding and I say 'let me guess, The Bride Room!'" (I did my best not to *squeal* with delight - then I promptly asked her for a photo opp!) ....oh, Monique, how we adore you!!  She was so gracious as swarms of socialites and brides and press {and me!} asked for pose after pose...  Monique, I truly hope that you enjoyed the warm southern welcome you received!

Here are a few of my favorites from the show...  amazing how ready to wear and bridal cross over... so many of the gowns are in the bridal collection in white or ivory!!  Such fun to see them transition into bold color......

we have this gown in the store right now in ivory::

and this one too::


This one was in the bridal collection last season in all ivory with a matching veil::

And this one deserves THREE photos... the finale gown::
Hello Lovely... please come to live at The Bride Room... you would be well loved!




What a delight and a privilege to attend such a well appointed, well attended event... we were thrilled to be a part of it and will look forward to it from year to year.... special thanks to the sweet and talented Elizabeth Broyhill from the ever popular Monkees store in the Hill Center for inviting us to sit at her table... what a wonderful time!  Until next year....

*UPDATE* A few {professional!} runway and social photos here!
