Ivory & Beau Current Happenings 4/7/2020
This is officially WEEK ONE of our virtual bridal appointments. We decided to jump on the train to provide the bridal shopping experience right in your living room! We wouldn’t want you to miss out on this special experience because of everything going on in the world. So how does it work?
FIRST, your stylist will get to know you and your wedding details to have an idea of what styles you like. Then, you will head to our Pinterest to pick out your top 10 dresses. You will then have a scheduled 1.5 hour Zoom appointment with your stylist to view the dresses on our mannequins and get a better idea which ones are your favorites. The final step is to choose up to 3 dresses to take home with you to try on!
SECOND, you will schedule a time to do a curbside pick-up of your dresses, along with your goody bag with a gift card to a restaurant or salon and details of how to care for the dresses while you have them. Next, you will want to grab some champagne, your small entourage or have them on Zoom, and try on your dresses in the comfort of your home. There is also the option to have your stylist on a Zoom call as well while trying on your dresses. The cost is $300 to borrow dress and an additional $150 to borrow accessories (50% refund upon safe return of items without damages). You must return the items after 4 days.
THIRD, if you say yes to the dress, then your stylist will guide you through the special order process via email (60% deposit). The payment for borrowing dresses will go towards your order as long as dresses are returned without damages. Make sure to let us know if you say yes to a dress so that we can celebrate with you!
VIRTUAL STYLING
VIRTUAL WEDDING STYLING
Helping you virtually plan out every detail of your wedding, from the chairs to the table layout, and from menu cards to ceremony backdrop. We want to help you figure out your vision for your wedding day, making it the best it can possibly be. Although this is 100% virtual, there is the option to upgrade to on-site day-of styling at your venue.
VIRTUAL ENGAGEMENT SESSION STYLING
The same offer as our virtual wedding styling, but for your engagement photo shoot! We start off by hearing you and your fiancé’s story, how you two fell in love. We want to have every detail to best create a storyboard that represents who you are as a couple. This is also 100% virtual, with the option to upgrade to on-site styling to ensure that your vision comes to life!
SHOP ONLINE
We want to make it as easy and convenient for our brides to shop our dresses and accessories online! We have added a “Shop Online” tab on our website where you can browse our bridal accessories, and we also have a page on Tradesy where you can shop our dresses that we have on sale! If you head to our Pinterest, there you will see all of the dress styles we have in the shop, and if you see any that you fall in love with, book your virtual bridal appointment to have the chance to try them on at home! We want to be there for you as much as possible. HAPPY SHOPPING!
E-GIFT CARD SPECIAL
Help us get through this tough time while also saving BIG on your wedding dress order! *Only valid on NEW orders, cannot be used on previous orders. No money back, I.e. if you buy the $2500 gift card (you spent $2100, we gave you $400) and your dress is only $2300, you will have a remaining credit of $200, no cash will be returned to you. All gift certificates are NON-REFUNDABLE, must be paid in FULL. Expires 12/31/2021
Contact us if interested (purchases made over the phone) & the gift certificate will be emailed to you :)
PRESERVATION KIT SPECIAL
If you are having to postpone your wedding for at least 6 months to a year, we highly recommend preserving your wedding dress before you walk down the aisle (preservation takes 3-4 months)! Once your wedding dress is exposed to oxygen for a certain amount of time, depending on the fabric, it can begin to turn grey or yellow. No one wants that.
So, to help our #iandbbrides out, we are doing a special on our preservation kits - 1 for $225, or 2 for $400 (1 is normally $275). Typically, you want to preserve your wedding dress AFTER your wedding, so we wanted to give you a deal on two kits as well because of the circumstances.
VOTE for us in Best of 2020!
We have been nominated in FOUR CATEGORIES for Best of the Best 2020 - Boutique, Florist, Event/Wedding Planner, and Bridal Store. You can vote ONCE PER DAY until 4/13/2020 11:59pm EST.

We are always up for an adventure, and we are looking to book some destination weddings!! We have officially booked our first destination wedding in Asheville, NC, and we are so excited!!
So….from now until we book 4 DESTINATION WEDDINGS, we will be offering wedding planning & floral packages for destination weddings with NO TRAVEL FEES added on!
ON THE BLOG
In an effort to get you inspired for a destination wedding, we have begun posting blogs centered around a wedding in a different city! With mood boards filled with inspiration photos, including details of a venue, color palette, wedding dress, and decor, we show you how to make it happen. So far we have covered Eugene, OR and Atlanta, GA. Go check out those blogs and keep a look out for more to come!
DRESSES OF THE WEEK
Our top picks for this week, and we are OBSESSING over them! Featuring one of our newest styles, Charlene, with other dresses we feel need some attention. The top two styles have a little more sparkle and flare with beading and glitter, whereas the bottom two styles have more delicacy and detail with lace and florals. Book your virtual bridal appointment to try on your favorite styles!
