With last years Emerald being such a huge hit, it was only with anticipation that we learned that Radiant Orchid would be the 'it' color for 2014. It's fresh, fun and can be interpreted many different ways. Whether you're looking for a bright pop of color or a dustier version of this purple, Radiant Orchid will be sure to make a few appearances this year!<br />
<br />
Here's an inspiration board we whipped up in it's honor!<br />

<br />
There's nothing better than this time of year, brides are a buzzing with upcoming weddings, brides-to-be are selecting their gowns for next year, and we soon get to head to market to pick out new gowns for the spring!<br />
<br />
Typically we would see the unveiling of the new Disney Fairy Tale Bridal collection at the <a href="http://nationalbridalmarket.com/" target="_blank">National Bridal Market</a> in Chicago - however, there was one gown that they did not want us waiting to see and receive - and for good reason! This month the beloved <a href="http://movies.disney.com/the-little-mermaid" target="_blank">'The Little Mermaid' Diamond Edition</a> is being released on <a href="http://www.blu-ray.com/" target="_blank">Blu-ray</a> and in conjunction, the 2014 'Ariel' gown is being featured on the cover of <a href="http://www.bridalguide.com/blogs/from-dianes-desk/inside-the-november-december-2013-issue" target="_blank">Bridal Guide Magazine</a>. It only makes sense that with all the 'under the sea' excitement that they would want the gown to be able to be seen in person right away!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Our 2012 summer intern, Dayna, made our last blog post entry exactly one year ago.<br />
<br />
My, how things have changed.<br />
<br />
The biggest change since last fall is our new location. We made the big move from Holly to Howell and couldn't be happier. Our space, adorned with exposed brick walls and high tin ceilings, lends itself perfectly to the vision that we always had for our boutique.<br />
<br />
I remember when my husband and I saw the 'for lease' sign while attending Downtown Howell's Sunday Farmers Market on State Street (directly across from our now boutique) . . . he saw the twinkle in my eye. I think the word "no" escaped his mouth before I even began my plead.<br />
<br />
We had already been through a lot the first two years since the boutique's opening. Getting married just 6 short months after the start-up, selling our condo, living with his parents, him starting a new job in Ann Arbor - which led to our personal move to Howell - what seemed like the perfect in between location for our commutes to Ann Arbor and Holly.<br />
<br />
We didn't know then that the boutique would eventually move or that we are ourselves would find permanent residence just outside of town. One thing I did know was that moving to Howell just felt right. It has the similar downtown goodness that I was used to growing up in Milford and the traffic flow in town is just what the boutique needed.<br />
<br />
Another big change for the boutique is that we are no longer a consignment boutique - something that we started phasing out back in Holly. While we still have some great "off-the-rack" dresses, we no longer accept gowns to sell on consignment. Our main focus is our new designer gowns . . . with some exciting new designers I might add! We had first started off in Holly with Alfred Angelo, a classic bridal designer that has been around for over 75 years! We loved their price points and their styles that seem to last through the years - their newer Modern Vintage and Disney Fairy Tale collections also had us swooning! Since moving to Howell we've added Moonlight & Impression Bridal, and our beloved Maggie Sottero.<br />
<br />
Being a Maggie bride myself, (wore a sample Maggie Sottero gown for my own wedding from our boutique back in 2010!) I knew they were a designer that I had to get my hands on. And believe me, I've tried for years but have always been just close enough to another store that had already carried the designer (manufacturer's usually like 20-30 miles between you and the next retailer). So when the Howell area opened for Maggie Sottero a few months ago I jumped . . . and I was persistent, to say the least.<br />
<br />
With great designers in place in our cozy boutique and opportunity on the horizon we'd like to thank all the brides that have helped get us here. You are what drives us. There's nothing quite like selecting gowns every season, displaying and advertising them, and getting the brides through the door and connecting the perfect gown to the most wonderful of brides! <br />
<br />
Can't wait to see what the next year holds for us!<br />

<br />
For all of the rustic/barn wedding lovers out there, the fall season could not be more perfect for your wedding style. Fall brings all the beauty and less heat than a summer wedding, allowing, you, the bride, to enjoy the outdoors without melting in your dress. The natural colors of the changing leaves will bring in breathtaking beauty that can be reflected in your centerpieces with perhaps a wreath or a bouquet of wildflowers. Many other popular decorations involve the use of vines, acorns, pinecones, leaves (of course!), pumpkins, and gourds.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">For the couple that wants to bring in some warm familiarities of the fall season and the memories of picking apples they can serve hot cider, hot chocolate, donuts, or candied apples. Just remember brides, allow your wedding to reflect your personality and have fun with it! There are many sophisticated and fun ways to decorate your big day without it looking like a part of Thanksgiving Day.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Some inspiring sites with great ideas that I have found are: <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">greenweddingshoes.com</a>, <a href="http://stylemepretty.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">stylemepretty.com</a>, and <a href="http://marthastewartweddings.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">marthastewartweddings.com</a>.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295743673175751499.post-89454638807605518972012-08-09T16:28:00.000-04:002012-08-09T16:28:00.022-04:00One Dress, Two Styles<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="background-color: white;">For some brides, one dress is simply not enough for their wedding day. With so many options out there, short, long, high-low, poofy, glam, etc. you might find two that fit perfect you; one for the ceremony, the other for the reception. Oftentimes tradition comes into play for the ceremony and the reception is where your personality can shine through, making you want to change it up and perhaps be more comfortable. Designers have been thinking about brides like you who want options and more than one dress option at an affordable price. Here, in our store, we have a dress by Alfred Angelo that provides the length for the traditional wedding ceremony and a little fun at the reception for later without you having to change entirely or even buy a second dress altogether. This dress is two pieces, take off the skirt piece and wa-la, you now have a short, knee length dress perfect for still looking fabulous, able to dance till you drop, no bustle needed, and no friends to help hold up your dress while you use the restroom! And it oftentimes looks like an entirely dress giving you a fresh new look during your wedding!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

It is believed that by borrowing the object from a happily married couple that it will carry over into the new bride’s life.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Something blue represents purity, love, and fidelity. According to MarthaStewart.com the color blue has historically been worn by the Romans to symbolize modesty, love, and fidelity. In the Biblical sense, the color blue has also represented purity with the Virgin Mary always in blue. Throughout the ages, with the color blue has represented love, purity, and fidelity, brides used to be wed in blue until the late 19th century.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A silver sixpence is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity to the new couple, not only financially but also in joy and happiness. The history on this tradition is a little hazier. Some sites say that it is a British custom, while others say it is Scottish and originated as the groom’s tradition. How it ended up as a bride carrying on the tradition, who knows?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Now that you know the history on the saying, you are probably wondering when did this saying even pop up? That is generally unknown, but believed to have been commonly recited in the Victorian Era. Martha Stewart’s site also brings up an interesting point which indicates to the time period of the saying. The sixpence was only minted from 1551-1967 which means the saying likely started (at least the tail part of the saying) sometime in 1551 or later.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what can you do to bring this rhyme’s good fortune into your life?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Old: Finding a vintage piece of jewelry from a grandparent or possibly an old family owned handkerchief wrapped around the bride’s flowers.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">New: Some women consider their wedding gown as their “new” item. It could be a new pair of shoes, piece of jewelry or hair clip, or perhaps a “new” “blue” garter (that’s a two for one ladies! J). For many brides they are wearing several new items and that is an easy one to accomplish.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Something Borrowed: This item must be given back after the wedding, but perhaps the wedding gown itself, or something else with meaning between the bride and the family member or friend.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Something Blue: The bride could wrap a blue ribbon around her flowers, wear blue lingerie, paint her nails or toe nails blue, have a blue flower in her bouquet, sew blue into the dress on the inside, or I have seen “I DO” bling to go on the back underneath the shoes on the soles in blue.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A sixpence has been replaced with a dime, a penny, or you can purchase sentimental sixpence special for weddings.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Any other fun suggestions?

<i>It’s been a little bit since the last post…but with our
upcoming trunk show, it got me thinking....how did trunk shows come about? In general, it’s not as easy to find as I
hoped. But, with my quick bit of
research, I found out, which makes total sense to me, that according to both
dinnertopics.com and willowsonwillows.blogspot.com that trunk shows came about
from travelling salesmen selling their inventory out of a trunk. This would make sense given that trunks were
what people used to use as luggage a hundred plus years ago.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Now –a-days the name has stuck, but it’s not all of someone’s
inventory, or even in a trunk at all at trunk shows. Today trunk shows are used for a couple of
reasons. In general, a trunk show is a
great way for a designer to see how receptive their target market it to the
upcoming seasons designs. If they find
that a particular garment is not selling well, they won’t need to mass produce
it. On the retail end of things, it is a
great way for a retailer to find out what is selling well and what to order and
keep in stock. Particularly in the
bridal industry it is nice because many times the boutique cannot get the
entire season’s inventory in the store, so this helps to bring in gowns that
are not usually found in the store, which is also fun for the bride too. In general, a trunk show is a fun to see what
is selling and needs to be produced or ordered depending on which branch you
are in in the wide and fun world of fashion!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> If a beach paradise
is where your dream wedding is or maybe an “Up North” nature feel is more of
your style, then fear not! We have
dresses here in the store for you! There
are the traditional “destination” wedding dresses that are short, as well as
the dresses that are light and airy. But keep in mind brides, that if you want
the destination wedding, but not typical “destination” dress, that can be
arranged. Just because you want the destination
doesn’t mean you have to stick to the confines of the stereotypical
dresses. Remember that as long as you
feel great in the dress you want in the location you want, you will shine all
the more brightly on this important and special day! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;">The award-winning bridal boutique showcases Alfred Angelo’s Disney Fairy Tale Weddings and Modern Vintage bridal gowns.</span>Something Blue Bridal Boutique was recently awarded 2012 WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Award for best Dress and Attire.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://weddingwire.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #003366; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">WeddingWire.com</a> is a website for all things bridal-related, made up of 200,000 wedding professionals found throughout the United States and Canada. Something Blue Bridal Boutique was recognized among the top five percent of those wedding professionals. The awards are given to those who continually give great service, quality and responsiveness within the wedding industry. Something Blue Bridal Boutique stood out and won because of phenomenal reviews by recent newlywed clients.<br />
<br />
Nicole Kalil, owner of Something Blue, said, “We’d gotten quite a few good reviews. They like our service and attention to detail. There were only a handful of businesses in Michigan that were selected.”<br />
<br />
Kalil opened the business two years ago and said that it is quite an honor to receive the award, especially for being a relatively new business. “That makes me feel good, like I’m doing something right,” said Kalil.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
The exclusivity of Alfred Angelo’s Disney Fairy Tale Weddings has been drawing in brides-to-be from miles around who are enchanted with the idea of their own princess wedding. The collection has also piqued brides-to-be interest as they search for a way to capture the nostalgic beauty on their wedding day.<br />
<br />
“All brides want to feel and look like a princess on their special day and I’m delighted to offer such a collection at our boutique,” said Kalil, owner of Something Blue Bridal Boutique. “Many people think that in order to look like a princess that it will be costly, but the Disney inspired dresses are moderately priced and available for order for women of all shapes and sizes.”<br />
<br />
She originally opened the shop as a consignment store and quickly saw the need to adapt to a retail boutique.<br />
<br />
“I wanted to give girls that small (boutique) intimate experience. I like scheduling the appointments, then they have my undivided attention,” said Kalil. This allows her to focus her attention on the bride and what she desires.</div>

“The prices really seems to resonate with brides. Gowns range in price from $599 to $1749 for wedding gowns and bridesmaids gowns are priced under $200,” said Kalil.<br />
<br />
Something Blue has gowns for women of all shapes and sizes.<br />
<br />
“The floor samples usually come in, in sizes 6-12,” Kalil said. “The average women’s size is 14, so I’ve been trying to get as many samples as I can that are sizes 14, 16 and up.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I can't believe it's almost been a month since Dayna has started interning for Something Blue! I say it's high time we introduce her to you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Greetings!<o:p></o:p></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For those who have recently visited Something Blue you may
have already seen me around. For those
who haven’t, let me introduce myself: Hi! My name is Dayna and I am here as
intern for Nicole for the summer. I have
been studying at Eastern Michigan University in the Apparel, Textiles, and
Merchandising program. I am very excited
to be a part of Something Blue and learn from Nicole, a WeddingWire award winner
for Best Dress and Attire of 2012. <o:p></o:p></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So far, I have to say, I love working here with Nicole,
meeting all the brides, and helping them find the dress for their special
day. Each week, I will do my best to
write a post and I always change up the window displays, among many other
things. Hopefully you will continue to
check out our posts or maybe stop in! <o:p></o:p></span></i><br />

<br />
At Something Blue Bridal Boutique we have curated a nice selection of bridal gowns sizes 14 and up and I just wanted to quickly show that even though we will continue to order larger samples that we can still accommodate a range of sizes.<br />
<br />
The gown below is a gorgeous blush toned Forever Yours bridal gown in a size 18. I threw it on the size 6 dress form to show that it can be clamped down and fit a size 6 dress form.<br />
<br />
Same dress . . .<br />

I was so excited when I saw this gown at Market last fall! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A gown that finally gives you & your maids some real options . . . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And now that I'm thinking about it - you can also order this gown floor length! {{additional fee}} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The belts can also be ordered on their own should a bride need one to dress up her gown as well! $39 - $59</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I love all of our new 2012 Forever Yours inventory!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.weddingwire.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">WeddingWire</span></a> asked us to share our top three pieces of advice to brides who are gown shopping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What do we wish brides knew before stepping foot in your salon & what pieces of information do I feel like I'm sharing with brides over & over again?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. . . HERE'S WHAT I HAD TO SHARE . . . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;">1} Be VERY open to styles outside of your comfort zone. All too often I hear "I <i>DO NOT</i> want lace" -or- "<i>NO</i> big princess gowns for me!" . . . But I always try to advise that we wait to judge the fabric or cut until it's on your actual body. Sometimes it's more about how a gown feels once it's on as opposed to what makes up the gown. If you feel sexy & ready to walk down the aisle, then a style that once made you apprehensive may be just the ticket!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;">2} Listen to YOUR gut. It can be very overwhelming hearing what your entourage thinks about every little detail of each gown you try on. What one friend might dislike about a gown might be the one thing you really love! Often I see brides start to doubt their selection. I never want a bride slipping into her gown on her wedding day and still thinking about another gown that was really for her.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;">3} Don't put your gown at the bottom of your budget. I hear a lot . . . "We've already paid for the venue & catering & we're running out of budget . . . besides, I'm only wearing it for a couple hours!" </span><span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;">While it is a few hours that can go by very quickly, your venue & food are also fleeting. All eyes will be on the happy couple & your gown all evening . . . and don't forget that your wedding photos will last a lifetime! Make sure you're in "the gown" that you'll love looking back on time & time again!</span></div>

This past week, Sarah & I had an inspiring consult with Alfred Angelo's marketing department. It was nice to have Kathy come out and personally visit our boutique, give critiques & inspire us into big improvements for the upcoming season! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first of which . . . we have be given the good ahead to carry Alfred Angelo's Disney Princess Collection! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their 2nd Collection of Disney Princess gowns will arrive at Something Blue Bridal Boutique after the New Year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boutique never ceases to amaze me with the 'life-of-its-own' it has taken on! Not every store that requests this line is approved, as there are strict parameter restrictions set in place, so our Rep was very excited to finally say YES! to our request, as she has had to turn many stores down. We are very lucky & excited to be a part of such a line that is inspired by every little girls dreams!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Shown below is a sneak peek of what's to come! </div>

Here's one of our latest reviews ~<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, geneva, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">"Something Blue and owner Nicole are simply AMAZING! I first visited the adorable bridal boutique over the summer with my bridesmaids and was blown away by the selection of dresses, accessories, and mostly by the fact that Nicole gave us her undivided attention during the entire appointment. It was a such fun afternoon for my girls to try on a bunch of dresses, with Nicole offering her expertise every step of the way. I visited shortly thereafter to look for a dress for myself and again, was so impressed by Nicole and the selection of bridal gowns! Nicole offered lots of suggestions and helped me find the perfect dress - and had tissues on hand for my and my Mom's happy tears! It has been a real joy working with Nicole, she is talented and clearly has a passion for her bridal boutique business. I look forward to working with her for additional services she offers including invites and seating charts! I would absolutely recommend Something Blue to any bride that is hoping for a fun, unique, and memorable dress shopping experience!!"</span><br />

Thanks Elizabeth!<br />

Something Blue Bridal Boutique is like a giant sample sale everyday, but on July 8th & 9th it will be a sale on top of a sale!<br />
<br />
Gowns will be marked down to $100, $200, $300, $400, $500 & so on . . .<br />
Prices include tax!<br />
<br />
And even though I think the 'Running of the Brides' at Filene's Closet in NJ sounds like a hoot - I will be keeping it by appointment only. Each appointment will only last an hour & will only be allowed one guest to join the bride.<br />
<br />
If this is something you think you would like to take advantage of, please visit our websites contact page to schedule your appointment - <a href="http://www.somethingblue4u.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.somethingblue4u.com</a>, or if you have additional questions, please feel free to email me at somethingblue4u@gmail.com</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
