Melissa & Kendall: A Gilded Bride Story

Aug 08 2017

We are OVER THE MOON y'all! Melissa was our first #gildedbride - that's right, she bought the very first dress we sold at Gilded right after we opened our doors almost a year ago. We have been waiting to share these photos from her amazing wedding to Kendall in Riviera Maya, Mexico, and the day has finally arrived. We asked Melissa to share some of their modern day love story with you - enjoy! Melissa & Kendall | May 6, 2017 | Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya, Mexico Photography: Natali Leguizamon - Adventure Photos GILDED: How did you and Kendall meet? What's your story?

After a few messages back and forth, we arranged to meet for coffee.  I had only planned to spend about an hour with him; however, we ended up talking for 3 hours! It felt so natural. As we were leaving the coffee...

Gilded Bridal Take Over: The Glassbox

Mar 25 2017

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...
