Tiffany & Drew at Lexington Country Club – Lexington, KY

September 9, 2011 in Real Bridal Parties | No comments

Tiffany was such a fun, easy-going bride to work with. In fact, on her first trip to Twirl Lexington she picked out bridesmaid dresses during a Jenny Yoo Trunk Show without anyone even trying them on! She is certainly a lady who knows what she wants and goes for it!

Tiffany and Drew

Tiffany and Drew met through mutual law school friends at Harvey’s, right here in Lexington. They were married April 30, 2011 at St. Paul Catholic Church in Lexington and their reception was held at the Lexington Country Club. Another very big Royal wedding happened to take place the same weekend as Tiffany and Drew’s, if you recall! Tiffany and Drew certainly showed their sense of humor and surprised their rehearsal dinner guests with a very unique invitation!

Tiffany described her style as tradition and guest-centric. They wanted everyone to have fun and enjoy the evening. Tiffany chose cheery, bright citrus colors to showcase Spring in the Bluegrass. The bridesmaids wore three different styles of Jenny Yoo Collection dresses in Tangerine. For their bridesmaid gifts, Tiffany had each bridesmaid a custom necklace made by Lulubelles (sold at Twirl Lexington).

Thank you, Tiffany and Drew for sharing your photos (all by Angela Baldridge) with Twirl and allowing us to play a small role in your big day!

Best wishes!

Bridesmaid Appointment Tip

August 19, 2011 in Bridesmaid Tips and Advice | No comments

I love it when bridal parties come in to shop for bridesmaid dresses and someone remembers to bring a camera. Looking at bridesmaid dress styles on the Internet is helpful, but seeing a snapshot of yourself or your bridal party in dresses you’re interested in is even better. It’s one thing to see a model in a dress that has been altered to look just right for a photo shoot – seeing how a dress falls on a real person gives brides a much better idea of the true look of the dress.

A couple hints when bringing your camera:
-Remember that taking snapshots is just helping you to get an idea on the cut of the bridesmaid dresses you like. It doesn’t mean every single girl needs to try on the dress. Whether you’re shopping at Twirl Lexington or at another bridal boutique, sales consultants can help you determine dress silhouettes that look best on certain body types.

-Tell your bridesmaids to bring a strapless bra and heels. Some bridal stores provide heels in the fitting room, so it’s good ask when you make your appointment.

-Also remember that not every store allows photos, we at Twirl don’t have a problem with it, but many places do not allow photos, so respect their wishes.

Happy Shopping!

Our new obsession…Adelé LLC! Adelé is locally owned and features the cutest home furnishings, jewelry and gifts. They also offer interior and graphic design services.

Pearl Bauble Necklace with satin ribbon tie, $48

Hand Beaded Clutches for "something blue" on your wedding day, $110-$129

Double-Duty Dresses

July 22, 2011 in Bridesmaid Tips and Advice | No comments

Do you feel like Katherine Heigl in 27 dresses, with a closet full of old bridesmaid dresses you wouldn’t be caught dead in (except as a Halloween costume)? Never fear – Twirl is here!

Our designers are simply getting better and better about introducing “double-duty” dresses – the kind you actually can wear to another event. With our oh-so-lovely economy, that’s great news!

I have several dresses in our closets that we wear to other events, or even to work… without looking like we’re on our way to a wedding the same day. Check out a few of the styles at Twirl Lexington right now that would be perfect to wear to another wedding, a day at Keeneland or to a cocktail party!

The old cliche “you can cut it off and wear it again” does not apply to some dresses, but one of our former Twirl brides just sent us a picture on the Twirl Lexington Facebook page that had us super excited! She took the long bridesmaid dress that her sister wore in her wedding and had it hemmed to make an uber-fabulous cocktail dress! See the before and after shot below! Many thanks to Belinda at The Needle’s Eye for bringing new life to this bridesmaid dress for Jennifer.

So, brides, it is possible to find a dress that your girls can wear again…just come to Twirl!
