Introducing Ivory & White! This couture bridal boutique opened this past fall in Crestline Village in Mountain Brook, Alabama. Owner Brooke Mason has truly outdone herself, bringing in some of the most sought after lines in the market. Ladies, these gowns are unbelievable! Even if you’re not engaged or making a debut, the dresses in Ivory & White are worth a trip to the boutique. I literally wanted to try on every single gown in the showroom. Brooke and Lauren work with each client individually, and their personal touches are simply fabulous. I definitely plan to post some more gown shots next week, but for now, here are a few of my faves… “Gail” by Junko Yoshioka “Celia” by Elizabeth Fillmore - I LOVE this! “Eden” by Elizabeth Fillmore The Showroom is great, so open and fresh… I love the clean lines and light of this gown display! The gorgeous accessories are on display with the couture fashion shows of the store’s lines… And how great are the dressing rooms? Very important when looking for that perfect fit :) I’m so excited that Birmingham has such a great new boutique!
