I don’t know which is better—to walk into Chantelle’s Bridal and see all of the beautiful dresses or to hear the gasps, Ohhs and Awes from clients as the come in for their appointments. This is such an amazing business---being able to help our clients find their perfect gowns. There is just no better feeling. And speaking of feelings, this is the time of year when our eyes sparkle a little more brighter, our steps are a little lighter, and our smiles are wider. What a great time of year. We hope everyone has a magical holiday!

Oh My Gosh!!! Look at this dress!!! So simple and so beautiful. Remember...dresses hanging on the rack just don't look like this...you need a body in it to really see how beautiful it can be. Sometimes, simple is more beautiful!

Holidays are a time for family and we want our team to be able to spend the holiday with their families. So, we will be closed Good Friday through Monday, April 5th. We will be making appointments beginning April 6th. We wish a peaceful holiday filled with renewal and hope for 2021.

Proms will happen this year one way or another—I’m convinced of that. I’ve heard about many unique ideas for doing this like having your own party, renting your own venue and going for it, etc. so I thought I’d show you some of the gowns we have in the shop. Most of these are NOT reorderable which is why I’m concerned about you getting in early to buy your gowns. What we have on the racks is a lot, but I won’t be able to reorder in different sizes. I’ve done my best to bring in all sizes, so make an appointment and come in.

Our chandeliers were installed yesterday!!! We LOVE them! Ken and Kai assembled them--that was a job! Thankyou and a big thanks to Abraham and his crew from Tadeo Electric for the amazing job of installing them!!! What do you think? Let us know..

Thank you TriCities!!! Your response to
Chantelle has been overwhelming and we just wanted to thank everyone who has made an appointment, come in and left with a stunning new gown. We are so proud of our inventory and the designers we carry, but what is most gratifying is when YOU love the dresses as much as we do! We sense life returning in spite of COVID and a new hope is emerging as the desert begins to take on the pale green hue of Spring. Brides are buying dresses, families are booking their venues, and girls are buying Prom gowns determined to not repeat the loss of 2020. We are honored to be included in this emergence and are committed to creating everlasting memories as we all awaken to a new life in 2021. Enjoy our gowns as Erika (Left) and Joy are. They are so beautiful!

We have managed to get our beautiful shop open and have had several friends brave the snow and make their way through the doors to get a “bling fix” and see our dresses, shoes, and fun bits first hand. And, thanks to one of our team members, Joy who put us in touch with Ann Spilman, Director at the Academy of Children’s Theatre who graciously accepted our plea to participate at such a late date in their Virtual Fundraising Auction, February 20, 2021. Sooo friends, join us on Saturday at 4:30pm PST for a fun, funny, virtually exciting-FREE fundraiser and bid to support our local young people. Go to https://secure.qgiv.com/event/hfaauction/items/ To learn more about Academy of Children’s Theater (ACT), check out their website. You’ll LOVE it! http://www.academyofchildrenstheatre.org/

I just have to share a sweet valentine event that happened today. My hubby, Ken, called me to say that he was bringing in lunch. My response was “Oh, love, that’s OK. I can come home. He countered with” No, I’m bringing lunch!” so I thanked him and continued working. When he got to the door, Erika, our wonderful Sales Manager, started to open the door for him, then looked out the window, pointed and exclaimed “OH Look! What’s out there?!! I quickly looked out but couldn’t see anything, so I turned around to ask her where I should look and there was Ken with a big heart shaped box, a lovely potted flower AND lunch for everyone. He walked around the counter and with a kiss and said “Happy Valentine’s Day” as he handed me a box of chocolates and flower. Tears sprang into my eyes as I smiled up at him with true gratitude in my heart. You see, this was very special for both of us because we were lucky that we were even able to be in this position today. We moved to Kennewick from the Settle area last October 6th (2020) and on November 6th a month later, I had a stroke. I was transported to TRIOS where we were ripped apart because of COVID. I lay alone in the hospital bed, unable to move, while he sat outside the hospital in the car for 6 hours before he knew if I was alive or dead. Then I was transferred to Lourdes and was still not able to see him for almost a week. I finally managed to get home in a wheelchair and this amazing man took care of me day and night. With his dedication and the expert Physical therapists at Lourdes, I am now walking with and without a cane. More important, I am still alive to spend another Valentine’s Day with my sweetheart and lifemate. We are truly blessed and wish blessings and happiness for each and everyone of you. Jan

Excitement is in the air around Chantelle's Bridal & Formal Boutique---we are planning our Grand Opening that will coincide with Valentine's Day. In order to comply with COVID restrictions, we will have to limit the number of people in the shop, so over the next day or two, you will see times available to make appointments so we can ensure that everyone has a great time. AND, we will have two Trunk shows overflowing with 2022 gowns from two of our amazing designers Watters and EddyK. Stay tuned for details.

Hello ladies,

❤️ Taylor here checking in!
I have been steaming gowns throughout this last week and every single time I come across an EddyK Bridal gown - I am in just absolute bliss as I am looking at each elegant detail and just the way these gowns feel, they are sooo soft and just elegantly made. I had to share this video with you as we have so many of the gowns in this one video (or we can custom order of course) and just watch how they move! I am SO excited for you ladies to come in the shop and just see for yourself! It’s getting closer and closer to opening day!!!

Which one is your favorite in this video? I’m obsessed with the mermaids & trumpets with the longer trains! Soooo beautiful!

Ladies, I read an interesting article by InStyle about picking the right wedding train for you and I wanted to share some of what I read with you all! Did you know that in general, there are four distinct types of wedding trains: sweep, watteau, chapel, and cathedral.

✨ The Sweep train is the shortest one of all—about six inches—making it an excellent choice for an outdoor or casual wedding.

✨ The Watteau train is an unconventional take on the traditional wedding dress train, as it attaches to the shoulders or upper back of the bodice to create a whimsical look without the commitment of an actual train.

✨ The Chapel train is the most popular train of all four. It measures approximately five feet from the waist and it gives the dress some formality without being too over-the-top.

✨ The Cathedral, trails about six or seven feet from the waist, and is the most formal one. It adds a dramatic look to any gown and enhances that fairytale feel of ball gown wedding dresses.

Which one are you ladies dreaming of for your big day? 🤗❤️

Our goal is two-fold:

1. Introduce ourselves to the Tri Cities, greater Central Washington and Idaho.

2. Encourage each and every person to reach for the highest goal possible and never worry about failing. We only fail when we choose to not reach for the brass ring while riding the Merry-Go-Round.

I was explaining to a coworker today that I would like to see a “Brass Ring” included in a gift basket we were preparing for a Giveaway Gift as part or the Opening of our boutique. I had told her that one of my mantras in life was “Always grab for the gold ring as your ride around on the carousel of life. If you don’t, you will be passing up an opportunity”.
I decided to send an earlier posting I had made about reaching for the gold ring to her. Just before I sent it, I was curious to know what the “Real Meaning” of this symbology meant, so I looked it up on the internet.

To my astonishment, here is what I found…

“What does the carousel represent in The Catcher in the Rye?

The carousel represents life, its cyclical quality, and its opportunities for change and growth.

As Phoebe rides around and around on the carousel, the mechanical horses move up and down, just as people have high and low moments in the cycles of their lives. When little Phoebe grabs the gold ring, Holden realizes that children must be allowed to extend themselves and take chances in life or they cannot mature and develop their own individuality. This gold ring symbolizes hope in life and the striving for and attainment of dreams.

Watching Phoebe, Holden recognizes the flaw in his dream of being a "catcher in the rye" who holds and protects innocent children from the "phoniness" and dangers of adulthood.
Now he realizes that Phoebe's need to "grab for the gold ring" suggests that children must be allowed to mature and take risks in order to grow into adulthood:
The thing with kids is, if they want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but it's bad if you say anything to them.
Grabbing the brass ring involves taking the chance that one may miss; however, one must extend oneself if one is to mature.”
