Anna Elyse…How Split Sizing works!!

Anna Elyse has had great success with “Split Sizing” this season and we thought you might enjoy and find helpful the following easy-to-follow “How Split Sizing Work” graphic that will soon be available on her website.

At Flair and Anna Elyse we find that it is saving many bridesmaids from getting major alterations and work that they do not need.

“Split Sizing” is exclusive with Anna Elyse and they are delighted to be able to offer the service at no cost to you! PLEASE make note that this feature is possible ONLY smaller to larger (e.g. 4/6 or 8/10) and is not offered in reverse – larger to smaller (i.e. 10/8 or 6/4).

We think this is such a great option for you and your bridesmaids!! Come check out some of Anna Elyse’s gorgeous dresses and gowns!!

Wishing for sunny days!!

Toms: Maybe the smartest wedding decision you’ll ever make?

OK that might be an exaggeration, but they should definitely be near the top of the list! Let’s face it, when all is said and done all you’re going to want to do at your reception is relax and boogie down. Well, there’s no more comfortable (and cute) boogie down shoe than Toms. Even better, they’re reasonably priced and totally re-wearable after the wedding! Plus, they now come in sparkly hues fit for a princess bride. It’s a no brainer ladies! They’d make a super cute bridesmaids’ gift too, so you can all ditch your heels and do the running man ‘til the cows come home (or atleast until the cleanup staff arrives)!

P.S. The BIGGEST Bonus about buying Toms is that they have an amazing movement/charitable spirit.

For every pair of Toms you buy they give a free pair to a child in need! One for One!

A Fairy Tale Wedding

Timeless, elegant and classic……in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown

Now that is how you make an entrance……

Pippa Middleton, was a show-stopper in her ivory Satin based Crepe gown also designed by Burton for McQueen

The long 3 and a half minute walk down the aisle showing off that 9 ft train!!

The happy couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

Official wedding portrait….how cute are those pageboys and bridesmaids?!?!

Reception dress….. (we told you they were popular!)

Also, a Burton for McQueen creation, a dazzling satin sweetheart gown

with a circle skirt and embellished waist!

The dynamic Pippa Middleton in her reception dress, by Burton in a beautiful green jewel tone!!

So, it is the day after the BIG day.

I have had time to let it all sink in, and I think that it was truly done perfectly. Watching a commoner become a princess, and marry the her long time love was extremely emotional and obviously every little girls dream!

Tradition is extremely important to the royal family and the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge adhered to tradition but were able to have fun and reign in a new younger era of royalty by showing how much they truly loved each other and how much fun they have with each other!

Princess Catherine’s fashion choices were timeless but with a modern twist. She was reminiscent of the beautiful Grace Kelly but true to her style which is always a modern and classic elegance! Both of Princess Catherine’s wedding dresses were classic styles that will be copied and will hopefully set some new trends. Gowns will be moving more towards classic, simple lines and less fluff (like our dresses at Flair! OBVIOUSLY!). Cheers to Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen the designs were amazing and truly beyond anything I could have ever imagined! What a wonderful day. It was so nice to celebrate a day filled with love, hope and fashion. Cheers to the happy couple and may they live happily ever after, just like the fairy tales!

XOXO

Vendor Spotlight: Ode to Wedding Tresses

Hi ladies, I had my hair and makeup trial over the weekend and I have to admit, I was nervous. I’m a little particular when it comes to my hair and makeup, and I felt wary about having someone else do it for me. Can any of you brides relate? Plus, let’s face it, a week after the wedding my man will not be able to recall a single detail about my dress but he will definitely remember if my hair was a mess and I had clown make up on. So, hence my worry.

I chose Wedding Tresses for my hair and makeup because I’d worked with them on a gorgeous Style Me Pretty photo shoot in 2009 and they did an amazing job. Plus, Jackie is such a sweetheart and is SO easy to work with! I went into my trial with a few pictures and ideas and both Jackie, who did my hair, and Holly (makeup artist extraordinaire) did a great job of taking the photos and running with them. By the end, I looked like a slightly more glam version of myself, which is just what I was going for. The last thing I wanted was to not look like myself on my big day. Plus they both had great tips regarding the hair and makeup for my bridal party, mother and future mother in law. Long story short, I should have stopped worrying the minute I booked them!

A few more reasons I adore Wedding Tresses:

1.Their location on Newbury Street is super cute and inviting. Myself and a few others brides were there at the same time and it was so much fun to see what the others were doing and chit chat with everyone.

2. They will travel to you on your wedding day. One less thing to coordinate = heaven.

3. They use makeup that Jackie herself created! It is super lightweight and smooth; my skin never looked so good!

4. All of the girls there seem to really enjoy what they do and they will not let you leave until you are 100% satisfied.

OK, I could go on and on, but check them out for yourself and you’ll see what I mean! This is one thing on your to-do list that you will not have to worry about, I promise!

TTFN beautiful brides!
