We've moved!

If you noticed, there hasn't been a post on this site for about a month. If you keep returning, I bet that's because you didn't know we moved, did you? As I updated the Vows Tuxedo and Hayley Lauren Couture website, I decided to redesign the blog as well. Visit the http://www.vowtuxedo.net/ or http://www.hayleylaurencouture.net/ website to find our new blog link!

Thanks,
~Hayley

Beth's Dream Gown

Beth came to me with an idea of the gown of her dreams. She wanted a catherdral train, ball gown, low cut back, and she wanted to be able to dance out of the skirt into a cocktail gown. Thru Hayley Lauren Couture, Beth got exactly what she had always dreamed of. The long catherdral train was attachable. The back dipped down to a polka-dot sash at her waist. The ballgown was exactly the right size for her petite frame. And when they danced..... Well, watch and see!

Thanks for understanding!

What's being said about Hayley Lauren Couture

I've been posting a lot of what people are saying about Vows Tuxedo, but I've been getting great feedback from my HLCouture brides too! Here's something, I received in my email this morning. It's a great way to start the day!

"I was thinking about how beautiful the dress was when I tried it on! My mom and I talked about it for the rest of the day. You did a marvelous job!"

Our Past Wonderful Weekend

This past weekend was great! We had three fantastic wedding parties head out with great fitted tuxedos. And then Saturday, we picked up three more!

One of our groom's was so sweet when registering his party with us. I am working with his fiance on gown alterations and met with her just the week before. Her soon-to-be wonderful husband scheduled our Pretty Details service for her on the wedding day. I couldn't help but think what a neat and thoughtful gift to give your bride a little more pampering on your wedding day!

Pretty Details is a "day of" dressing service. I go to where the bride is and steam all the gowns in her wedding party. After the pressing, I stay on hand to help the bride and her party prepare and dress. It gives the bride assurance that someone is there for the sole purpose of caring for her gown. I bring with me an emergency sewing kit and last minute items that are sometimes overlooked or forgotten. There have even been occasions where I am making last-minute alterations for the fit and function of bridesmaids' gowns.

The service is first come and I only schedule one wedding per a day. For more information, visit the Hayley Lauren Couture website at www.hayleylaurencouture.net

Busy Weekend!

We've been tuxedo free as of 4:43! With three wedding parties leaving for an exciting weekend, I am happy to know that they will all be celebrating in comfortably fitted tuxedos.

Yesterday, I took a picture with the guys leaving in their tuxedos. Today, I received a high-five from one groom and a wonderfully kind testimonial from another. He thanked me for the tuxedos, told me that they were very, very pleased, and that they would be referring me to anyone that they could. Such great guys!

I hope and pray that their weddings are beautiful, that their marriages are special, and that their tuxedos are returned on Monday!
