New Style

I am pleased to report that I perfected one of the veils that had not been behaving well. It looks like a good timeout did the trick!

And here is a preview of the latest style ... you like?

Unbridled Determination

I think everyone would agree with me when I say that I utterly despise feeling like a failure. There's a vulnerability associated with it that I would rather not share ... with anyone.

But last night my mom got me thinking. I was frustrated with two different veils that have not behaved very well. One currently has two tiny holes (thanks to my trying to fix it) and a kink. The other I have to take apart and re-do thanks to some buckling of the tulle. While discussing with my mom, she said that she couldn't believe I hadn't completely given up, thrown in the towel, walked away. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that YOU are the reason I have not given up. As Danna Miller once told me when giving tips on a successful half marathon: once you decide to do it, tell everyone you know! Then there's no backing out. :)

Normally, I don't have this much determination. But thanks to you, I have been more determined than ever. And I will perfect these two veils before the photo shoot.

Thanks, Danna, for the advice!! And a big thank you to everyone else for not letting me back out!! xoxo

Flower Girl Gift Idea: Tutus!

It is all about tulle here at Embellish. If it is made out of tulle, resembles tulle, matches tulle or simply would go well with tulle, we'll make it!

Our latest addition would be the perfect gift for any little girl in your life. But for you brides out there, it would be the perfect Flower Girl gift: for playtime or to incorporate into her wedding day outfit, adding a layer of pizazz!

This weekend, I delivered my first tutu to a precious little girl in Nashville. It was a success: it fit perfectly (with no measurements) and this beautiful little baby lady wore it all night. She's a shy little one and would not smile for the camera. But adorable she is and love the tutu she did!

To order a tutu for your little one today, email Carolyn at embellishmyday@gmail.com.

Veils in the Shoppe!

When I dropped off the wedding veil last week, I took the liberty of snapping a few pics. These are my sample wedding veils hanging in Vocelles; The Bridal Shoppe. I am super stoked that they hang right there with the wedding dresses!!!! Thank you, Vocelles.
