Getting Ready

The bride dressed at her parents house. Tip - make sure you think about food, order some lunch in. Nibbles are always a good idea if you are a little nervous.
Erika and Matt decided to do a special meeting prior to the ceremony. A first glance without everyone around. I like this option because it takes some of the pressure off the groom. He can then concentrate on marrying you relaxed!
They met at the Alumni Building on campus, close to the chapel, then walked down together.


So the photographer Doug sent me some sneak peak pics - aren't them amazing?

Nicole Miller Bridal

Well I had a lovely afternoon visiting the Nicole Miller boutique in Manayunk yesterday. They were having an Expert to Expert open house where we wedding planners could learn about bridal gown trends, bridesmaids dresses and even mothers dresses!! and the ladies there got to hear a little about what we do and how we can help the brides.

Thank you for some informative info, lovely refreshments and oh the gowns - just gorgeous!!



Nicole Miller designs are becoming a little more ornate with some beautiful beading accents and even a new color 'metal' taffeta, it is a slight gray or slate color and the fabric is so forgiving and just lovely.

The salon also has a wonderful seamstress that will add or make changes to any dress, ie: change neckline or add a train!

So if you are shopping around for your gown, your maids please add this salon to your list - Nicole Miller Philadelphia
4249 Main Street, Philadelphia, PA (Manayunk) or Bellevue.
