Golden Globe Wedding Gowns!

January 14, 2013 | No Comments

We know by looking at today’s social media posts that weddings were on the brain with all the amazing ladies in white (and blush tones!) last night at the Golden Globes. There wasn’t a single look we didn’t love, but there were a select few that we couldn’t help but have a soft spot for!

Clint Eastwood’s daughter Francesca looked amazing in vintage Armani. She is paired here with our own Francesca’s bridal style- Jim Hjelm 8254

Haydan Panettiere looks incredible in this soft pink Roberto Cavalli gown, but we couldn’t help but think she would look just as gorgeous in this favorited Alvina Valenta style!

Lea Michele looked sensational in this white Elie Saab gown. If she was looking to walk down the aisle in something similiar, Alvina Valenta style 9302 is perfection!

Illusion Necklines

Illusion necklines are all the craze right now in the bridal industry. We even have a few of our own that we are pretty smitten with!

The holiday spirit is in the air at our little salon as garland hangs along the door trimmings and berry red flowers add an extra touch of warm holiday charm. No wonder they call this the most wonderful time of the year!
