Kelly M. has seen it all since starting out as a stylist at our Chicago shop five years ago. Now the Store Brand Leader, she chatted with us about how brides-to-be can make the most of their appointments. “Many brides are nervous about the one-hour appointment time, but they shouldn’t be!

Kat Claar of Terrain and From Blossoms helped bring our vision to life at the Awbury Arboretum, a public park and wedding venue in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. To complete the affair, we asked our UX Researcher Amy to model the Colbie Gown alongside her fiancé. Read more for tips on incorporating floral arrangements into your wedding day.
