Always Elegant

If you are a follower of this blog, or a fan on Facebook, you are familiar with the photos (of invitations) I did for Bree at Wedding Tulle. Recently, I spent some time with Bree at her shop, photographing all the fabulousness (!) that is Always Elegant Bridal and Tuxedo. Now I have to say, I think this shop is simply darling. I love the chandeliers that glitter from the ceiling, dripping warm light over a black and white checked floor... makes me feel fancy.

Always Elegant has made it's place on the Knot Northern California's list of top wedding salons both 2010 AND 2011. It is an honor well earned, let me tell you. Before I became friends with Bree, when I was just a bride myself, I went to Always Elegant to find my wedding dress. I went in with a slew of different styles that I liked, and pointed them all out to Bree. Honestly, at the time, I felt a little sorry for her because she had to try and make sense of a mess. Bree pulled 12 or so dresses, and MY DRESS was only the third I tried on. That was the day I learned that she is that good. I proceeded to get all my accessories from her as well... my shoes, veil, and shoe clips that I used for embellishments on my boquet. So, how did I look??


These two photos of my wedding are by Hughston's Photography. They are two of my favorites.

"This full service boutique offers a great selection of gowns by affordable designers like La Sposa, Mon Cheri and Moonlight. The intimate atmosphere and top-notch customer service can't be beat." - The Knot Northern California, 2011 Spring edition. How right they are!



If you are a bride-to-be, you simply must add "make an appointment with Always Elegant" to your To-Do list!! I thank God, every time I look at my wedding photos, that I did.
