✨Happy Thursday Brides✨

We cannot wait for the warmth of Spring to finally come. We had our beautiful bride, Mikayla, in the other day to do some modeling for us. She tried on our stunning Marguerite gown by Maggie Sottero Designs featuring a flirty slit, lace and beaded details, on an A-Line skirt.

With engagement season behind us, we are diving into busy season here at the boutique. If you’re a 2025 bride and haven’t found your dream dress yet, schedule your private appointment by texting Katie at (618) 988-2926 or visiting our website blushandivoryboutique.com.
