As we come to the start of a New Year, we want to reflect back on what a wonderful 2014 we had. We could not have had a better group of brides. Thank you for choosing to work with us on such a special day; we loved getting to know each of you and appreciate all the photos and sweet words. You are why we do what we do and we cannot wait to see what the new year holds for all of you!

Here is a look back on the beautiful weddings of our 2014 brides.

These romantic images are just a teaser of Cassie’s gorgeous wedding. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her Marisa gown, paired with a custom Modern Trousseau bolero. We are obsessed and cannot wait to see more!

Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Pinecones, snowmen, deer, snowflakes, ok so the list is endless and that’s what we love about a cool winter wedding - the endless choice of gorgeous cake toppers! How cute are these?!

We want to wish all of our brides, family and friends a very Merry Christmas. We hope your day is spent in the company of those you love and reflecting on all of the gifts we have been blessed with.

“I just wanted to thank you for all you did! My dress was absolutely perfect and I felt beautiful in it! I received so many compliments and it truly was a pleasure to work with you all. Thank you again for being so great!”

Best Regards,
Mary Brightwell Houchins

Getting these emails on a Monday morning is a special way to start the day! Thank you so much for sending these gorgeous images Mary. Your couture Modern Trousseau dress was divine on you and you were just glowing with happiness!

Your wedding day is all about the two of you and beginning your life together, but you can’t forget about the many people who will be there to support you, often traveling hundreds of miles to get there! Although there is a lot to plan for your wedding, don’t forget the special touches that make your guests feel welcome as well. We’ve pulled together our favorite wedding favors to make your wedding a truly memorable experience for everyone!

Local coffe beans wrapped in cute hand stamped bags, what’s not to love?! Apropos Roasters

Doughnuts for a late night snack or breakfast on the go!

Customized water bottles - you can never have enough of these! Matthew Moore Photography

A fun take on the candy bar - nuts! Guests can make a bag of assorted nuts for their trip home!

What a sweet way to thank your guest! We know your guests will bee thrilled with these honey favors.

For a destination wedding, why not give your guests luggage tags. You can even have them personalized and use them as escort cards.

Mini champagne bottles, complete with striped straws, will help keep the party going even once open bar closes.

More brides are opting for flowers in lieu of traditional headpieces. Hair flowers can be used to dress up your wedding hair, add a romantic flair, or even create a fun look among an otherwise formal event. There is so much inspiration all over the web, so we put a little collage together of some of our favorites.

For more than a century, Carnegie Hall has been known to audiences and performers alike as one of the world’s greatest concert halls. So talk about a “wow factor” when the guests of Nina and TJ walked onto the grounds of such a historic venue. We had so much fun helping Nina customize her dress through Modern Trousseau. The clean, classic gown was the perfect complement to the architecture of the building. She added a Whitney Alyssa sash that accented and personalized the look. We are so excited to share these amazing photos taken by Kelly Lester.

Enjoy!

We just adore coming across new artists who inspire us. And these invitation suites did just that. Each hand painted, each truly a piece of art. Here is a blurb from the designer herself.

“Mix color, whimsy, and femininity - and that’s where you’ll always find me. On most days, my desk will have a simple vase of fresh flowers, a tear-sheet from Kate Spade’s latest collection, and perhaps a classic quote from Coco Chanel…add a snippet of double faced satin in a rich, bold red or pink and I’m a happy girl. I love drawing on all this beauty to creating my own unique lovelies and I’m proud to say it’s been my dream job for thirty years.”
