The Annual Brides Against Breast Cancer Gown Tour will take place at the Sheraton Music City Hotel on January 4 and 5. Aside from being able to buy a designer wedding gown at a discount, the gown tour benefits a worthy cause. The VIP event will be held on Friday, January 4 followed by the Gown Tour Sale on Saturday, January 5.
Meg, the show manager, shared these details about the event:
"Brides Against Breast Cancer is a non-profit organization whose funds contribute to programs and services for cancer patients and their families. We have expanded outreach and educational efforts to bridal shows around the country to ensure that everyone impacted by cancer have the resources and information they need in their battle with cancer.
Wedding gown sales are an important fund-raising event for BABC. We have over 100 charity bridal shows across the nation bringing 700-1000 couture and designer gowns with us at a discounted price.
At our shows we create a boutique like atmosphere, setting up the ballroom into thirds. 1/3 dressing rooms; 1/3 gowns; 1/3 bridal partners. We create an intimate setting by helping brides-to-be say yes to the dress! Extra fun events are such as VIP power hours before the bridal show which offer the brides signature pink drinks, lite bites, and fun giveaways! In each city a grand prize is offered as well-usually a weekend stay in that hotel! Also, each of our exclusive vendor tables will have a raffle item donating their free services to the brides, guests and volunteers. So come say yes to the dress and attend your local Brides against breast cancer bridal show!
Ticket information is available here."
We love to help our local bridal partners in each city so message .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) regarding vendor/bridal partner opportunities that will help promote your business as well as help those impacted by cancer!"

If your bridal party just happens to be in town for Thanksgiving, it might be a great time to shop for bridesmaid dresses or tuxedos. Street Tuxedo offers a few things to remember when it comes to renting tuxedos:
1) Start shopping three to four months out to get an idea of what fits and what's available. Place your order at least one month prior to your wedding date. Tuxes are picked up one to two days before the wedding and are to be returned the Monday after.
2) Follow Street Tuxedo on Facebook for exclusive deals on tuxedo rentals that will save the groom and groomsmen money!
3) Know the basic questions to ask yourself to help make your tuxedo shopping experience efficient and enjoyable.
We hope this helps you make your decision and gives you a better idea of what's in store for you. Tuxedo shopping should be an enjoyable part of weddings and when in doubt, rest assured Street Tuxedo will be on hand to help you out.

Two weeks ago, the lovely ladies of the The Bride Room headed to New York's Fall Bridal Market. During market season, we take our wedding stalking to another level and anxiously await The Bride Room's updates via their blog, Twitter, Facebook and now Instagram! (If you don't follow them, be sure to do so via the preceding links.) We rely on them to see the hottest in bridal fashions from top designers like Jim Hjelm to Monique Lhuillier. And this year, we enjoyed every minute!
Below are some of their favorites (and ours). We soooo look forward to seeing these new beauties (specially the illusion necklines) on fabulous Nashville brides!
The Bride Room is located in the Green Hills area of Nashville, TN. Contact them at 615.297.9899 to schedule an appointment and to find your dream gown!
Special thanks to gals at The Bride Room for sharing your NY trip with your Nashville friends.

Calling all grooms: Street Tuxedo is my go-to spot for all things grooms. Their fashion forward team always knows what's classic or hot. So when Rachael told me about their new, Heather Grey tuxedo, I couldn't wait to share it with you.
"The Heather Allure is currently available. It is a beautiful 3-piece ensemble that can be dressed up for those super formal weddings or dressed down for those country chic weddings...We are in LOVE with it!
This suit is quickly becoming a favorite and it's very versatile. If you are having a casual wedding and are on the fence about whether you should go with a suit or tuxedo, keep in mind that a tuxedo, like the Heather Allure, can be rented as a full set (with coat, pants, everything) OR can be rented in separate pieces, based on what best fits your wedding style. You can wear the full tux and your groomsmen can wear separates. You can make the look more casual by rolling up the men's sleeves, adding suspenders, cowboy boots, Toms, or Converse, or make it funky by adding the coat and custom Otis James bowties.
Regardless of whether you go formal or causal, a tuxedo (complete or in pieces) acts as a foundation and keeps all of the men in a quality product. You have many options and the folks at Street Tuxedo are the best resource to help you get smart and make sure your crew wows just like women.

Scott and Monica chose the Heather Grey tuxedo from Street Tuxedo for their Nashville wedding. Notice that Scott looks dapper in his full tuxedo while his men go without their coats. There is mostly uniformity but Scott's look still stands out with subtly styling differences.
Scott is so fly! He's sharply styled, from head to toe.
