Your Shop is a Jewel

Recently, I received this gracious thank you note from Amy. She visited us before returning to England after completing her college degree.

" I want to thank you for providing such a beautiful range of modest wedding dresses and formals to chose from. I got very frustrated looking at other shops thinking about all the work and expense involved in adjusting the dresses I saw. I was very pleased with my dress and the

 bridesmaid dresses I chose."

"I appreciate how kind and helpful you were both on the phone and through e-mail. I think your shop is a jewel; I hope many more like-minded Christians will find out about you. Thank you very much."

Market Fun

Mannequin displays are always a fun attraction.

I so adore the pleated dresses

with flowers.

Never enough jewelry and accessories!

The Royal Collection

The Royal Wedding was such a treat this year. There were hints and look alikes of Kate's gown in almost every showroom at market in Atlanta last week. I was thrilled to find a replica headpiece and earrings.

Our newest accessory vendor, Richard Designs, is located in the UK and gave us some interesting information on the pieces.

The Royal Tiara

The tiara was, as expected, from the royal collection. Catherine's 'Something Borrowed' was on loan from the Queen's private collection, made by Cartier in 1936, and a present for the late Queen Mother. Traditional yet discreet, the tiara sat high enough to lift the soft draped veil from her face.

The Royal Jewelry

As a wedding present from her parents for her 'something new' these diamond set drops were made to compliment the Cartier tiara that she wore on that day. Delicate and perfectly portioned they were designed to echo the elements within the Middleton Family newly appointed Coat of Arms. These loverly jewels were made up of a stylised oak leaf with a pear shaped-diamond set drop and suspended pave set acorn at the center.
