so pretty on style me pretty

Friend of TWDBTS and founder of Jubilee events , Candice Dowling had a stunning wedding this summer. The wedding was featured today on style me pretty. We had the honor of dressing Candice in a Modern Trousseau gown. All of the amazing details of Candice's nuptials were captured by Robert and Kathleen photographers.

In true Candice Dowling fashion, the wedding was unique and creative and not a single detail was missed. Here are some of the highlights! Be sure to check out style me pretty to see more amazing images and to read about the other talents that contributed to Candice's big day.

We wish Candice and Michael a lifetime of love an happiness!

Brides struggle with what to get their hubbies as a 1st anniversary gift, as the traditional gift for year one is paper! Josie Jolon of Beneath the gown has solved that quandry!! Custom made lingerie out of paper!!!

your shoe prayers have been answered

Introducing Angela Nuran!

Angela Nuran shoes are the ultimate solution to a problem that women have endured for ages- Having to choose between beautiful shoes and comfort.

Angela Nuran shoes are classic, elegant and comfortable. Inspired by ball room dancing shoes, they provide extra thick padding throughout the shoe, cushioning the arch, ball of the foot and heel to provide superior "pillow top" comfort for hours. The soft sole flexes with the foot, allowing muscles to relax, and provides secure, non-slip traction. The shoe is available in 3 1/2 or 2 1/2 inch heel heights. There are two beautiful buckle options that can adjust for width and colors available are ivory, dyeable white and black.

Call 860.669.4596 to experience them for yourself!
