There is a “new” bridal boutique in Charleston that we wanted to share for all of you brides to be, or soon to be since this is the biggest engagement season of the year! Southern Protocol Bridal has gotten a complete makeover and is introducing some of the best boutique lines to brides.

We’re also thrilled that Michelle Miller, the original owner of the boutique, has partnered with two of our favorite ladies and clients, Ann E Rice Ervin and Lisa Rice.  We had such a great time with these ladies while planning Ann E’s wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled to see them enter into this venture!

Happy Monday!  Today I wanted to share one of my new favorite ideas- Chic Sketch! Chic Sketch is a live fashion illustration service and a new & innovative way to turn your wedding photos and guests into custom fashion sketches.

– Wedding Chic Sketch Kiosk with real fashion illustrators. It’s like a photo booth but better, because we sketch you and your guests!

– Pre Wedding and Post Wedding Sketches- On this note, I think having sketches of each of your bridesmaids done to ask them to be a bridesmaid would be such a sweet and personal idea.  And, using your sketch on to make custom notecards with your new married name after the wedding would be so great!

-They are also starting to make great gift items like cell phone covers and picture frames, which would also be a fabulous engagement gift for any friends getting married, hostess gift around the holidays, or wedding party gifts.

I love the tradition that we are seeing of the bride and bridesmaids in coordinating glamorous “loungewear” while getting ready on the wedding day… So cute for photos, and it’s a nice way for the bride to relax and settle her nerves before the wedding. Plus, it’s a great bridesmaids’ gift idea. Here are some that we think would be great for the day of along with shopping links. bb-loungewear
