Gilded Bridal Take Over: The Glassbox

Gilded Bridal take over part deux - in which we moved the party upstairs to The Glassbox. The Stockroom and The Glassbox are both both located at 230 Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh, and while they are often rented together for weddings and events, The Glassbox can be rented individually for small events. With light and airy decor, windows everywhere, a rooftop patio, and views of downtown, this venue is one of our favorites in Raleigh! Cassandra by Sarah Janks is for my vamps out there - pure bias cut goodness, and perfectly complimented with a Twigs & Honey bandeau veil and bold lips. Check out that reflection magic! A flowy train and a deep V back keep the drama coming - oh, and check out that view from the Glassbox! Raleigh looks all grown up. Joey is rocking all the glam in the Dunaway gown from Elizabeth Dye, with our favorite headpiece...

Tara LaTour: Couture For the Cool Kids

Tara LaTour bridal couture always surprises us: it's the attention to detail, the fit on a woman's body, the elevated and whimsical touches that just make us swoon. Tara herself trained at Parson's School of Design, and she brings the perfect blend of vintage romanticism together with modern ideas to create the most sumptuous, unique wedding dresses. Tara loves to work with color, and her Lindsay gown pictured above is a stunning example. Navy blue wedding dress anyone? Don't worry if you still are feeling the wedding whites - Tara will make you your very own version of the Lindsey wedding gown in several different color options. If you really want to wow at your wedding, you can't go wrong with your very own cloud of tulle: the Pavielle gown on the left above is one of our absolute favs with a tulle train for days and days. Amelie on the right is...
