BHLDN Grand Opening Details

As promised, we wold love to share some of the details of the Grand Opening of BHLDN, Chicago with you! We had a fabulous time! We had been admiring all of BHLDNs party goods, gorgeous dresses and accessories online since they started, but it was wonderful to see everything in person! The store is so much fun with a classy bridal ambiance and a fabulous vintage flair! The lower level was filled with lovely things to outfit your bridesmaids! A winding, wooden staircase takes you up to bridal heaven, there are even literally hand-painted angel wings hanging from the ceiling! The room is filled with gorgeous headpieces, including our personal favorite, Twigs and Honey...yea Myra! Glittery shoes and sparkly, beautiful accessories are displayed in and on glass cases for all to admire! The gowns are stunning and set up in a gorgeous bridal parlor...where we had the pleasure of meeting Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings...what a thrill!! We must say, probably since we are both already married, that our favorite room at of all was the party room!! Oh my goodness, it was literally "dreamy"! There was so much to look at and we found ourselves going back in a few times. We loved the glittery garlands, the beautifully colored paper poms and fans, the milk glass cake pedestals, all of the striped straws and so much more! There were so many amazing details to help make a bride and groom's day flawless! We had a blast, if you know someone planning a wedding we definitely recommend checking out BHLDN!!
