We were so excited to finally stop by our friend Gabriella's amazing bridal salon
in NYC! Gabriella is the owner and founder of the fabulous salon with
an amazing atmosphere full of gorgeous dresses and accessories. With a
background in fashion, she has such an eye for what is both in and
timeless...carrying some amazing designers like Michelle Rahn, Amy Kuschel, Cole Haan's bridal shoe line and Sara Gabriel.
Love the use of vintage elements in the decor & displays in the salon. Even a cup of tea is fun to enjoy here since it's served in beautiful vintage tea cups.
Be sure to check out the salons' sample sale taking place August 20 + August 21!
We love small touches like this tin of pistachios set on a table as part of the table decor! Laura Hooper Calligraphy created the cute sign.
Having a "wow" floral decor piece does not have to cost you tons...this fabulous carnation ball was done by Holly Chapple Flowers. We placed it on top of a tall upside down vase to give it height. We also added a cylinder of candy on the inside to tie it into the favor table. Small muslin bags by Simplesong Design.
Creating centerpieces with unique things can save money on decor! We took these antique books, wrapped them in raffia and placed some bird bookends with them for something simple and inexpensive.
Erin from Daily Candy DC talked about some great ways to save with dresses & accessories. This beautiful ensemble costs less than $800 - including the dress & bracelet from J. Crew and the hair piece by Feather Brain.
