May 2019,
OH my goodness! Where has this year gone! I swear it was just Valentine’s Day and now it’s May.
The last 4 months we have been on a Prom adrenaline rush and then adding a few weddings in the mix. In February we had the pleasure of providing the style show out at Divots for their annual bridal show. We love working with Donna and her staff! Following the bridal show Alexus and I made another trip to Kansas City for another amazing weekend with Stella York and the Essense team. We are so excited for the new collection! We will be receiving new pieces any time, so keep an eye on social media for all updates.
We also have a few fun events planned throughout the summer and will give out more details as dates approach.
We will be adding a few new faces to the staff in the next couple of weeks, we are so excited!
Make sure to Tag us in photos on Instagram and Facebook, we LOVE seeing the final products.
Call 402-316-3370 to make your appointment to find your dream dress!
Happy Shopping
Cassandra

As I reflect on 2018 I feel so blessed to have worked with again 100+ brides and countless homecoming/prom girls. And I can’t leave the guys out with the tuxedo department. I can say that I absolutely love my job. I have to give a Shout Out also to my amazing staff, I push them every day and hold them to high levels, and they never disappoint me.
Of course there has been plenty to keep us busy through the month with Christmas and New Year’s weddings and then with also end of year things.
As we are preparing for the 1st of the year and going into January we will be getting into Prom season we will be requiring bridal appointments on Saturdays so we can insure you our time and a consultant. Please call 402-316-3370 or message us on Facebook to make those appointments.

October 2018
Well I guess it’s time for me to write another newsletter and fill everyone in on what’s been going on. We have been so blessed this summer/fall with all the weddings and brides we have been able to work with and be a part of their special day.
June, July, August and September have been weddings and weddings and oh more weddings and then homecoming in the middle. We have seen so many color combos come together.
In August Kinsley and I went to Kansas City with Stella York again for an Essence Experience and filled up with training and sales knowledge and of course we were able to place our stock order for the upcoming season. What do you think will be in the next season?? Sleeves? Staps? More lace? We will be sharing photos of new stock as soon as we get it into the store! Then in September was my annual Dallas Bridal Market trip and since it was so close to Chantelle working for us for 5 years I figured it was time she experienced Dallas and I believe she is excited for Prom season and loving the bridal industry of course even more!
Coming into October we are finishing up finally touches for our 6th Annual Fall Bridal Gala on Sunday October 14th from 1:00-3:00pm! Make sure to be here to meet with the top of the industry vendors and style show at 2pm. Also register that day for great grand prizes!!
Happy Falling in Love!

WE are coming off our Prom adrenaline rush but going right into wedding season, and we are very excited about the change of pace. We are also very excited about the beautiful weather and flowers.
We exceed our 2018 Prom goal again this year and we couldn’t have done it without our wonderful customers. Can’t wait for Prom 2019 and excited to see what styles and colors will be trending.
Have you heard there is a Royal wedding? We are excited to see what Meghan wears! This will bring something new and exciting into the bridal industry.
We hosted our 1st Stella York trunk show and it was a wonderful experience to bring to Norfolk. To have the hottest dresses of the season all in the store was absolutely amazing! We are hoping to have another trunk show with Stella York again soon!
Getting married yet this year? Make sure stop and check out our men’s formal wear area. We have everything from tweed vest, suspenders and of course the complete look to dress the men in your wedding party.
