IN LOVE with all of the 2013 bridal fashions!

Hi ladies of Wilson County! After a short break to get caught up on all of the hottest new styles and trends, I am making a comeback to the style section, and wow, do I have some beautiful things to show you! It’s that time of year again…wedding season!! As always, the shoot was a blast…we were even lucky enough to snag the current title holder of Miss Tennessee, Brenna Mader, as one of our stunning brides. Cheer her on this June, as Brenna will be competing for the title of Miss USA! Exciting!
Another new and exciting announcement for this shoot, we enlisted a few luxury gowns from the Nordstrom Bridal Suite, located only in Chicago and Dallas. Ooo lala-exclusive! Our favorite bridal boutique is luckily right here in Tennessee, The White Room, where they have every beautiful dress, veil and accessory you could dream of! I love walking the store with co-owner, Melanie, by my side to introduce the newest trends in weddings each year.
It’s not just bridal gowns that take center stage at wedding runway shows these days. The right dresses for the bridal party is just as important to the overall look. We’ve got the hottest colors for your bridal party modeled by three cute bridesmaids.
I hope you enjoy this issue and whether a bride-to-be or not, enjoy dreaming of how your special day could be!
Happy Spring!
ERIN BROWN
