See you there!

We've spent countless hours over the past few weeks preparing for this weekend's Bridal Show at the Laketown Conference Center (see previous post for details).

Today, as we were setting up, we noticed some of the other wonderful vendors who will be there:

Via Maria Catering (with lots of tasty samples)
Engedi Salon
Felt Mansion
Second Floor Bakery (free cake tasting!)
deVries Photography

And nearly 45 more! See you tomorrow!

Be There!

SB Bride :: Lisa

Beautiful Lisa found her dream gown on our sample sale rack!

She added a custom veil from Jennifer Leigh

and jewelry from MEG Jewelry.

Lisa modeled for September's Bride last January, also.

She was so delightful to have as a customer!

Military Discounts

Our Mission Statement speaks of blessing our community and operating our business in a manner that honors God.

These values have led us to begin offering military discounts as a small way of thanking the men and women from West Michigan who are serving their country; these soldiers and their families make sacrifices daily to keep us safe. We want to honor them.

Therefore, we are offering a 10% discount off of gowns and veils to military couples. If either the bride or groom, or their parents are actively serving in the United States Armed Services, they are eligible for this discount.

Don't be shy, please let us know if this applies to you. And, our sincerest "Thank You" for what you do!

SB :: Prom 2009!!!

At September's Bride...we are getting seriously pumped about this year's Prom Season!

Our loyalty to our brides will never stop, but we know that prom girls turn into brides at some point, and we want to start spoiling them and treating them great right now.

After spending lots of time at the Prom Markets this past fall, we took the best and left the rest. No sleazy, cheap, been-there-done-that-prom gowns for us. We know that a SB Prom Girl wants to look classy, sophisticated, and beautiful on Prom Night. Plus, she wants to have FUN! So, we have chosen a selection of gowns that will flatter a girl's figure without showing too much skin; and keep her comfortable in her own style!

At SB, we register each girl's gown. So...

1. No one else will show up at your school's prom in the same gown as you!

2. You can send your date in for a perfect tuxedo match - we'll help him look great, too!

Our Prom gowns take about 3-4 months to arrive. If you're not ready yet, gowns can be rush-ordered for a small additional charge. So, shop early for the best selection and to save yourself time & stress!

SB :: A Closer Look

This fantastic "jewel" of a piece is the "Gabriella" lariat, by MEG Jewelry.


With one of the biggest trends in bridal being subtle colors on gowns, Meg has brought these subtle colors to her jewels.


This piece can be worn so many ways. the pendant can drop in the front or in the back. It can be worn opera-length or as shown.

While you are visiting the MEG Jewelry website, be sure to also check out Meg's blog. She has recently posted photos of the Chicago & New York Bridal Markets, the Debi awards, and other fabulous events that she has attended. Some serious name-dropping from the bridal world!


And...Meg herself will be back at September's Bride in March for another Trunk Show!!! Stay tuned for details.
