July Ivory & Beau + Camellia Brides: Hailey, Samantha
Anybody else feel like it is insane we are over half-way done with 2025!?!?!? Does time just start to go quicker the older we get?! Or is it just me? Either way, it’s been a wild year from renovating the building, acquiring Camellia Bridal, now renovating the warehouse to move the flower team out there… we have been so busy at Ivory & Beau and are so beyond grateful for all the brides who have come to shop dresses this year!!! AND… to all the brides who have sent us their wedding pictures after the big day!! Going through and seeing brides pictures in dresses they got at my shop is one of my absolute favorite things to do!! It’s so fun to see the different style weddings that brides had and also the different locations. Today’s round-up of weddings is all about the Southern classic traditional wedding. With soft color palettes, timeless touches and classic gowns.
But first, I think we should take a moment for I&B Bride, McKenna’s, flower boys….!!! I was dying laughing when seeing these pictures and I think this is the perfect reminder that… It is YOUR wedding, do whatever you want!!
HAILEY IN MADI LANE
Hailey’s Southern celebration was full of heart, style, and joyful surprises—from sweet ceremony kisses under a blooming floral arch to a DJ bride. Dreamy details like a pearl-trimmed veil, pastel florals, and a sparkler send-off made the entire day feel timeless and elegant. Every moment was a perfect blend of romance and fun, captured in dreamy portraits that feel straight out of a love story.
