What makes Firra a surefire stunner for your big day? Let's start with the gorgeous mermaid silhouette - the perfect fit to showcase an hourglass figure.

We love the tiered lace effect on this dress - its a subtle detail that breaks up the lace pattern and adds a great effect in photographs!

The scalloped lace on the train and border detail add the finishing touches to this gown.

Wedding Inspiration: Thanksgiving

What is a more perfect occasion to gather friends and family than Thanksgiving? That's easy! A Wedding!

This post is inspired by all things Thanksgiving. With the Autumn weather drawing slowly to a close, the shades of brown and gold present at the end of November are the perfect inspiration for a cozy, harvest wedding. Start with a gown in the color "spun gold," and add pops of burgundy and orange to make your wedding picture perfect. And, of course, don't forget what the holiday is all about - Giving thanks for all of things we are blessed with every day!

JC1820 by James Clifford is a unique "Spun Gold" color that flatters everyone!

We are loving how beautiful brown can be, just like in this setting.

Pressed leaves are an easy (and cheap!) DIY project for your fall wedding.

Our new Charcoal Wrap Dress is definitely a must-have dress for your wardrobe. It will take you from day to night in no time! By adding a few simple accessories and layering pieces, you will create so many versatile styles that you can rock all year long.

Layer it!  Blazers, sweaters, motorcycle jackets…whatever the occasion, they are all great layering options.
Wrap it!  Adding a scarf can help bring a little color and warmth to your ensemble.
Chain it!  Add a little glitz and glamour with a long, multilayer necklace. 
Tights Galore!  Add a patterned tight for that perfect nighttime look.

Our very own style consultant Amy put together the fantastic day and night looks below!

A couple new fall ready-to-wear dresses have just arrived and once again I love them and want them both for myself! Both styles can easily be transferred from day to night and would look fantastic with a cute pair of heels or booties! They are available in Small, Medium & Large at the boutique or online. And the prices are awesome...$68 and $58. Can't beat that!
