You no longer need to scour the department stores for great jewelry…the Haute Bride pieces have arrived! Haute Bride Accessories are the most gorgeous of bridal jewelry in our opinion. The entire trunk show of gorgeous pieces is currently on display and available for order- give yourself 4-6 weeks to receive your order. Should you need to pop in on Saturday to peek- feel free! There are statement pieces, pieces that will compliment your look and understated pieces such as pretty studs to finish your look. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

Have you seen these flower girl dresses? TO DYE FOR…the cutest little numbers that we have seen yet! Lots of options for your sweet little ones!

As I reflect on this gorgeous holiday weekend, I am reminded of how thankful I am for the many blessings we have been given- many of them experienced because of the freedom that we all share. Thanks to our servicemen and women who have sacrificed to provide and protect the freedom that we enjoy. To the many brides who we have been fortunate enough to work with who support their husbands who serve our country, we miss you and thank you! Here are a few pictures from around the web that sum up the emotion of this holiday weekend!

PS. Heather and Justin welcome home Mason Hayes Batt, a sweet baby boy born on 5/21. Certainly a weekend to celebrate!

Introducing Mason Hayes Batt, Hayden Olivia’s little, little brother.

If you have been patiently awaiting this trunk show…here are a few sneak peeks at some of the pieces that you will be able to order! Once you have your gown, it is only natural to dream about your jewelry, your final look. Haute Bride, in our opinion, is the prettiest there is when it comes to bridal jewelry. Appointments are still requested as there will be a large selection to try on and you may just want to slip on your gown for the full effect! Let the accessorizing begin…

The Tara Keely gowns have arrived and they are gorgeous, steamed and ready for our brides this weekend. Take a peek below at a few of the new 2012 styles…texture, beading, plunging necklines…a few appointments still available, call the boutique to reserve your dressing room.

Ivory silk shantung bridal ball gown, pleated bodice with beaded applique and bow at natural waist, sweep train.

Ivory Mikado organza trumpet bridal gown, with pleated bodice, beaded belt at natural waist, and wave ruffle skirt with sweep train.

Tara Keely is a little jewel of a line in our boutique that is widely loved- unique lines, fitted bodices and great use of fabrics- and the prices continue to amaze us…a lot of dress for the price you will spend. We will welcome back the Spring 2012 collection- never seen before styles in Charlotte for one weekend, May 17-19. Special requests for specific styles can be made- appointment times are already limited. If you plan to shop the Queen city this weekend for your gown, make HOB a must stop shopping destination. Here is a sneak peek of a gorgeous gown from the collection.

We are very excited about our new arrivals…they are romantic and full of details. Arrivals this week include:

Harper
Strapless swiss dot fit-to-flare bridal gown with ruched detail and self tie bow on bodice.

From the wedding aisle to the red carpet, Anne Barge’s designs can be found among the prettiest of gowns across our country. Lucky for our Charlotte brides, for the next TWO weekends, the Anne Barge La Fleur collection will be available. A gown experience at Hayden Olivia includes the ultimate in customer service, large dressing rooms and of course gorgeous dresses- thank you Anne Barge for allowing Hayden Olivia to host these gorgeous gowns. Appointments can be made by calling the boutique at 704-333-0377. Incentives include a 10% trunk show discount, sweets and drinks to enjoy and a gift with purchase. We can’t wait to meet you this weekend!

We always get excited to view the new Jim Hjelm gowns each season…it is the one collection that includes a bit of organza, lace and beading. Nice beading is hard to find these days…Jim Hjelm does this so well! We have several new styles that have just arrived. Also watch our Event Calendar for the next Jim Hjelm trunk show. Here is a sneak peek of the styles hot off the runway…
