Chelsea was married this past weekend…yea!  Now we can post her gorgeous bridal portraits.  We wait in anticipation to see her wedding pictures.  Chelsea will be remembered at Hayden Olivia for her great sense of style and fun shoes!!  For her first fitting, she walked through the door with 4-5 shoe choices…all eye candy!!  Man, we wish we could carry shoe brands other than the typical bridal shoes.  Chelsea had an incredible gown as well, a french lace gown by Modern Trousseau.  Jennifer Bearden of  Jennifer Bearden Photography, Charleston, SC took these gorgeous pictures.  The outside shots are on Church Street in downtown Charleston, in the rotunda at the Battery/White Point Gardens, and in front of the Palmer Home.  The inside shots are in the Palmer Home.  Enjoy!

We have another stunning bride to share with you today!  We wish Courtney and Fernando the very Best!  Courtney wanted an elegant gown and she certainly found one.  She chose a Priscilla of Boston Platinum gown from our boutique and was a joy to work with throughout her entire gown shopping experience.  Courtney’s wedding planner was Ivy from The Silk Veil Weddings & Events and her photographer was Seth Snider.  Congratulations, your wedding was beautiful!

The alteration department at Hayden Olivia has certainly been busy over the last couple of months.  Every Saturday, we get butterflies knowing that the brides we have worked with for 6-9 months are walking the aisle.  The last kiss, hug and farewell is always bittersweet!  We adore the stylish and most gracious brides who choose to entrust us with one of the most important aspects of their day.  We are collecting several photos of our VIB’s!  More to come…

We were honored to collaborate with several professionals here in Charlotte, NC to create a “look” for an Inspiration to Reality post for Style Me Pretty.  Please head on over to Abby’s site to check out the feature!!
