Atlantic Bridal at Wood Ranch Bridal Show!

Bridal Betty — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:00:33 +0000

Our US Manager, Wendy, had so much fun showing Filippa Scott’s and Sassi Holford’s things at the Wood Ranch Country Club Bridal Show last week!

It was raining, but that didn’t stop all the festivities…well, except maybe the romantic carriage rides to the ceremony site on Wood Ranch’s scenic grounds.

Wood Ranch has a lovely warm space, despite the gloom outside!

The bride’s room at Wood Ranch is great – spacious and soothing. Of course, once we added Sassi’s Saskia gown and Filippa’s Anna shoes alongside of one of Friar Tux’s suits, it looked even more charming.

In the main room, Wendy set up Sassi’s and Filippa’s gorgeous things.

Here is Sassi’s Estelle.

Our bits and pieces all together.

Then Wendy went and had a look ’round at the fab tablescape sample Wood Ranch displayed.

And she visited some of the other vendors.

Sassi’s gowns and Filippa’s shoes were a big hit, and we are so glad we got to be a part of a bridal open house at Wood Ranch Country Club!

Real Bride: Sassi Holford Stella

Bridal Betty — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:00:08 +0000

We were so thrilled when photographer Shane Carpenter sent over images of Morgan in her Sassi Holford gown!

When Morgan saw Sassi’s Stella, she knew she had to have it. “I called the New York store and they sent me to a small boutique somewhere in Pennsylvania to pick up the dress. I was more than willing to drive five hours to get my dress!”

Her now husband, Preston, wore a tux he already owned by Joseph Abboud. Don’t they make a striking couple?

Preston and Morgan were married at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Easton, MD, with a lovely reception following at Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina. The wedding was just gorgeous! To see Morgan’s divine shoes, lovely bridesmaids in blue, and fun reception, pop over to photographer Shane Carpenter’s blog to have a peek!

Many thanks to Shane Carpenter for sending over the images, and best wishes to Preston and Morgan!

Sassi Holford Goes to Denver!

Bridal Betty — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:00:19 +0000

Sassi Holford’s collection visited Colorado’s Little White Dress for a Trunk Show at the end of February, and our poor Wendy (who lives in southern California) was subjected to this from the moment she arrived and through dinner with Cate, the owner of Little White Dress:

Cate, her staff, and her lovely, warm boutique (as well as a hot dinner at a local cafe) made up for the winter weather, though! Here’s Cate hard at work in her shop preparing for the day:

Sassi’s dresses look glorious at Little White Dress. We love the hangers!

Here’s Catriona (swoon) and Suzannah:

Sassi’s darling Lucy and sophisticated Francesca:

Don’t forget the elegant, classic Rhianna:

And, of course, chic Vanessa:

Sassi’s Trunk Show at Little White Dress was a great success and lots of fun! Thanks to all the wonderful brides-to-be who came by and to Cate and her staff for being such lovely hosts!

Counting Down

Bridal Betty — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:00:01 +0000

March has begun, and before long, the trees will bud and the flowers will begin to bloom. For now, though, we’ll have to settle for a gorgeous picture.

Have a great weekend!

Bridal Betty — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 06:00:00 +0000

Filippa Scott’s Poppy shoe is perfect for a romantic garden wedding. A strappy, elegant heel finished with a pretty, delicate flower, Poppy would be lovely at an outdoor wedding!

Like all of Filippa’s shoes, Poppy is beyond comfortable (even with that gorgeous high heel) and is dyeable. She would be lovely in a range of colors!

Lovely Low Heels

Bridal Betty — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 06:00:10 +0000

High-heeled stilettos aren’t for everyone! Luckily, Filippa Scott’s Fifi collection has several stylish options for those of you who don’t wish to totter about in high heels on their wedding day!

Sweet, ballet slipper-inspired Margot is a lovely little flat, and kitten-heeled Queenie is perfect for a bride-to-be with “Gossip Girl” style. Of course, there’s also Filippa’s Hattie and Victoria, classic and chic with a bit of flash. Each and every pair features a low heel and is well worth showing off!

All of Filippa’s collections are dyeable, which means you’ll be able to get a lot more wear out of your fabulously fashionable (and comfortable) shoes again!
