Photoshoot

I know I am so behind in my blogging -- considering I am just posting this Valentine's Day photoshoot!!

We were so excited when Erin McLean (http://www.erinmcleanevents.com/) called us to ask if we would be a part of her vintage valentine's day inspired photoshoot. The shoot was at the super cool Stock Room in downtown Raleigh! I loved all the details that Erin brought to the shoot from the candy buffet, to the LOVE mugs, and the vintage mirror complete with heart!! I also am completely obsessed with the linen that she picked from CE Rental in Raleigh - I want to wear it :)

We also got to work with the very talent Kevin Milz (http://www.kevinmilz.com/). I love the way he made all the images have that very vintage color and feel :) Below is a collage of images from the day that he put together!


The shoot was also picked up by a couple of other blogs - be sure to check them out!

Mother & Daughter Tea This Weekend

When I was in elementary school, I would come home and my mom would have tea waiting for me. We would sit and talk about my day. This ritual became something I looked forwarded and to this day, drinking tea has become a comfort to me.

Planning your wedding can be a stressful time so treat yourself to a Mother – Daughter afternoon tea at the The King’s Daughters Inn. While enjoying your hot tea, freshly baked scones and muffins in the elegant dining room, you will have the opportunity to view some of the beautiful gowns from Tre Bella Bridal, which specializes in high-end bridal fashion.

For the brides, Tre Bella Bridal will handpick their favorite gowns to showcase. The gowns will also be accessorized, so brides that have already chosen their gown, can get ideas on how to make their gown unique. For the mothers, Tre Bella Bridal will have on display the latest fashions from the Siri Collection.

To make this a relaxed setting, all of the Bridal gowns and Mother of the Bride outfits will be on mannequins to view at your leisure. One of the Tre Bella owners will be on hand to answer any questions about the collections.

Contact Samantha (919.354.7000) at the King's Daughters Inn to resever your spot today!

The King’s Daughters Inn is a 17 room luxury Inn located in the historic Trinity Park neighborhood of Durham. The Dining Room as well as the Parlor and Brodie Duke Hall make a wonderful venue for rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons and farewell brunches.


Until next time,

Kate

Jenny Packham Trunk Show

I recently wrote about my obsession with all things British, including our new designer Jenny Packham. Having her gowns in the boutique has done nothing but add fuel to the fire. Her gowns are the perfect mixture of sophistication, elegance, sexiness and class.

My parents recently gave Becky’s 5 year old daughter, Ella, what she calls her “big girl heels”. They are a pair of gold wedge sandals but every time Ella wears them, she gets so excited - there is just something magical about them! She constantly has to show them off, tell you how beautiful they how and how grown-up she is wearing them.

Brides, the Jenny Packham gowns are just like those gold wedges. On its own, each gown is a piece of art – simply beautiful. But when you put it on, sometime happens, and it becomes that missing piece that makes you suddenly feel –“yes, I am getting married, I am the bride”.

Luckily for all of you fans, this is going to be a big weekend. We are having a Jenny Packham Trunk Show!!! The Trunk Show will begin this Friday, Jan 28th and go through Sunday, Jan 30th. Check back tomorrow for more information!

Till Next Time,
Kate

San Patrick Trunk Show

This year we brought in two new designers. I blogged the other day about our one new designer, Jenny Packham, but today, I'll tell you about our other - San Patrick. We got our gowns from San Patrick back in November and I have been loving them! They are everything a true Southern Belle could want in her dream gown!

Well this weekend, the brides of the Triangle are in for a special treat. We will be having a San Patrick Trunk Show at our Bridal Boutique. No appointments are needed - we are having open hours from 10am until 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. Just stop in and enjoy the beautiful gowns!! Pricing starting at $1800 and don't miss out on the Trunk Show Promotion.

The San Patrick collection is part of the Spanish powerhouse Pronovias. Pronovias is known for being one of the oldest Spanish bridal companies. Their gowns tend to be classic and romantic.

As always, if you have questions - email (info@trebellabridal.com) or call me (919.323.7167).

Till next time,

Kate
