As you get comfortable, your bridal stylist will be introduced to you. Your bridal stylist is your best friend, hype woman, and personal shopper all rolled into one. They have your best interest in mind (finding your dress!!) and are experts when it comes to all things inventory, veils, and bridal accessories. Your stylist will sit down with you at the beginning of the appointment and chat about your shopping experience so far, what your vision is, and all details about your wedding.

  • 5 Things To Do After Your Engagement

    Engagement Season is here! We are in the midst of the holiday season! A season when we get to enjoy the winter wonderland, cozy nights, and spend time with people we love. If you are heading home for the holidays and have the sneaking suspicion that the love of your life is going to pop the question (!!!!!), we have 5 things you should do within a week of your engagement that you might not think of. Getting engaged during the holidays can be overwhelming, exciting, and everything in between. So we made it easy for you, babe. If you think you are getting engaged, just recently got engaged, or wishing that you were getting engaged… keep reading! Whenever you get asked that special question this holiday season, you will be prepped and ready to go! 5 things to do within a week after saying “YES!!” Celebrate With Friends and Family As mentioned before, the holiday season can be a lot. Take everything in!! This is such an exciting time! Celebrate, enjoy, and cherish this experience with your family. Since it is the holidays, it might be easier to coordinate seeing loved ones to announce your big news! Let All Your People Know Another point to keep in mind is to let older grandparents or older relatives know about your engagement. Consider asking your parents if there is anyone specific that you should reach out to. Then, make that dream social media post! Facetime all your long-distance friends! Consider Ring Insurance Your fiancé could have already purchased this, and it’s good to double check. Having ring insurance isn’t a necessity, but it can alleviate stress or worry about the ring. Contact your jeweler for more information and have your ring resized if you need it. Start to Gather Ideas Now you can start thinking about the timeline of the wedding, what your tentative guest count might be, and a list of venues to tour. This is where the planning process begins, babe! THE DRESS!!!😍 We have the fiancé, the ring, the date, and the venue….it’s time to get the dress!

  • "You're Getting Married Tomorrow.... What Are You Wearing??"

    Bridal Stylist Edition One of the best jobs in the world has to be a bridal stylist. We get to help our beautiful brides celebrate finding their dream dress. As a bridal stylist, we get to see and become very familiar with the dresses in our inventory. However, have you ever wondered which dress our stylists would choose for their own wedding? You are in luck! This blog post contains an EXCLUSIVE look at which dress three of our bridal stylists would choose if they were getting married tomorrow and a little bit about their “tomorrow” wedding vision! Enjoy! Emilee, you’re getting married tomorrow, what are you wearing? “If I was getting married tomorrow, I would choose Nisha by Maggie Sottero for my wedding dress. (I got married this past June in Dani from Randy Fenoli, so this is an added bonus to pick another dress!!) Nisha is a modern organza wedding gown that has so many unique features that elevates its seemingly simple design. This dress has a thigh-high slit which adds the PERFECT amount of sass to its regal glam. Also, the illusion back corset detailing is swoon-worthy. The dress would fit perfectly with my “tomorrow” wedding vision of a chapel ceremony, an intimate bistro-restaurant-style dinner, followed by desserts and drinks outside (preferably with a black-and-white checkerboard dance floor!!). Think early fall vibes, jazz music, and warm lighting.” Lauren, you’re getting married tomorrow, what are you wearing? “If I was getting married tomorrow, I would choose Fergie by Randy Fenoli for my wedding dress. I'm a clean, simple girl and Randy makes every detail perfect –from the material to the double seamed waist and detachable bow, it's a stunning gown. Plus, my mom wore a halter neck wedding gown with an open back and though it's very different from Fergie, I love that sentimental touch! I would of course have the most ridiculous cathedral lace veil imaginable. I LOVE WINTER WEDDINGS and would absolutely have one for my “tomorrow” wedding. Venues decorate so beautifully around the holidays and there's something so cozy and festive about the season. I'm thinking of calla lilies, lots of greenery, and warm jewel tones to give *winter* without giving Christmas. Add in lots of texture with velvet and satin and it's perfect.” Lydia, you’re getting married tomorrow, what are you wearing? “If I was getting married tomorrow, I would choose Jessica by Maggie Sottero. This was one of the dresses I first fell in love with at Ivory Rose so it was inevitable that I chose it as my “tomorrow” wedding dress. I am an OG A-line girlie. I feel very comfortable in that silhouette (because I LOVE to dance) and Jessica does a beautiful job with its chiffon bottom to make any bride feel flowy and dreamy. Not to mention…Jessica’s illusion lace and a detachable cowl…?!?! I love a good back moment. 😊 For my “tomorrow” wedding, I would want it to be late spring. I am obsessed over peonies (and literally all flowers) so you can count on the fact that I would have a ton of flower bouquets. Add in the BEST dancefloor party ever to finish out the night and you have my dream wedding.” xoxo, The Ivory Rose Team✨ Ivory Rose Bridal Boutique is Appleton, Wisconsin’s bridal shop that takes celebrating seriously.

  • What If I'm Indecisive??

    Maybe you are a newly engaged bride and just booked your first bridal appointment to look for your dress…or maybe you are the bride that has been to countless stores and now is worried that you might never find your dream dress… Whether you are just starting the bridal shopping process or have been in the mix for a while, one of the BIGGEST worries that comes up is the topic of indecisiveness. “How will I know which dress is the one?” “I’m indecisive. How will I pick?” “What if I NEVER find my wedding dress????” At Ivory Rose, we have heard all these worries, and we are here to ease those concerns! Our stylists have shared 5 tips to give you more confidence in your decision making. You got this babe! TIP #1 - You need to be standing in the dress to make a decision on the dress Throughout your bridal appointment, you will be in and out of dresses. One thing to keep in mind is that you want to make sure you are making your decisions while you are physically in the dress. How does the dress feel? Is it comfortable? Does it make you feel like a bride? It is way more difficult to make those “how does it feel” decisions if you are not in the dress. Additionally, iPhone pictures do not give justice to your feeling in the dress. The lighting, the picture quality, and the angle all play a factor in potentially warping how you view the dress. Yes, pictures are helpful for us, but overall, being in the dress needs to be our number one priority for making those “feeling” decisions. TIP #2 - Trust your gut Now, you may be thinking… ok, but HOW DO I DO THAT? And we know, it might be easier said than done to trust yourself, but we believe in you! Don’t overthink the bridal appointment. In general, brides can find their dress within the first twelve dresses they try on. Some brides find it with the first one they try on and some brides need to try on more. However, you want this shopping process to be fun! Buying a wedding dress is different from other purchases you will make in your life. It is an emotional buy and let it be an emotional buy. TIP #3 - Look for similarities When you are in the midst of shopping, take a moment to see what you are liking. Have you narrowed your selection to just A-line dresses? Square necklines? If so, perfect! Celebrate those decisions, even if they seem small! A key part in your bridal appointment is defining your deal breakers as you are trying on dresses. What would be aspects of a dress that you do not want? That could be anything from a certain silhouette, sleeves, or detailing. Once you define your deal breakers, don’t think about the dresses that were close, but had one of those deal breaker qualities. If it has a deal breaker, that is a good way for you to move on from those “almost” dresses. TIP #4 - Look at the dress holistically Each dress you try on is a whole piece. It can be a dangerous game when we start picking apart dresses and wanting a certain top with a certain bottom.…and suddenly we just imagined a whole new dress that’s impossible to create. When you start wanting a custom dress with aspects from a bunch of different dresses, your expectation will always be unmet. We are finding a dress that makes you feel beautiful, confident, and bridal! We are not creating a wedding dress from scratch. TIP #5 - It’s not that serious Our final point might seem taboo for a bridal shop to say, but we are here for our brides and we want them to feel beautiful as they marry the love of their life. We don’t want them to feel overwhelmed. Your wedding day is not going to be the only time you will feel beautiful in your life. You will look and feel beautiful countless other days too! Additionally, your wedding guests never see the dresses you said “no” in the fitting room. It’s ok to set back a little during your appointment or during the bridal shopping experience and recognize what is truly important to you. YAY BRIDAL BABE! You are a decision making queen! Our stylists can’t wait to help you find your dream dress and celebrate!! ​Ivory Rose Bridal Boutique is Appleton, Wisconsin’s bridal shop that takes celebrating seriously.

  • The ULTIMATE Bridal Accessory Guide

    You said yes to your dream dress, popped the champagne, and successfully started your journey to creating your full wedding look! Cheers to you, bridal babe! But if the thought of bridal accessories makes you nervous and seems like an overwhelming process --don't worry. We have each category broken down for you to think about in this guide that will make you look (and feel!) like a bride on your big day. Veils When deciding on a veil, you first want to think about the length. Our favorites veil lengths at Ivory Rose are fingertip, waltz, and cathedral. Fingertip is the shortest veil length and reaches right around the edge of your fingertips. If you think fingertip will be too short, a waltz length veil is going to be a good floor-length option for you. This length of veil is perfect if you have a very detailed or intricate train on your dress and want to showcase it. For our brides that want to make a big statement, cathedral veils are the longest option for veil length. Cathedral goes past floor length and can extend to the edge of your train or beyond! This length of veil is all about drama and makes for stunning photographs. After you decide on the length of the veil, we want to consider the details on the veil. Does it have pearls? Is the edging of beading going to help frame your face? Do you want lace? Combining both of these elements of veil length and veil details will help you find your perfect veil! Jewelry If you want to add some sparkle or glam to your wedding look, we can play with jewelry options. Are you more of a gold or silver girl? Rose gold or mixed metals? After deciding on a jewelry tone, you can think about wearing a necklace, earrings, or both. An important element to consider in this process is the neckline of your dress. With a sweetheart or v-neck you could have a slightly longer necklace that helps add to the dresses’ structure. With a strapless dress you might want to make more of a statement with dramatic earrings or a larger necklace. Hairpieces Veils are a beautiful addition to your bridal look, but what happens when you want to take them off? That’s where a hairpiece can come in! For your transition from the ceremony to reception, or maybe just after your beautiful pictures, you can replace your veil with a detailed hairpiece that gives you a whole new look. Matching your hairpiece to your dress will help solidify some of those smaller details. For example, adding a pearl or crystal hairpiece can help draw out the beading from the straps of your wedding dress. However, you don’t need to just have a hairpiece as the transitional piece after taking off your veil! You can easily pair a hairpiece and veil together to add more glam to your overall look. All in all, these bridal accessories are here to compliment your dress and YOU! On your special day, all these details will showcase your glowing excitement (and ours too!). Finding your bridal accessories is an exciting process, and your stylist at Ivory Rose loves helping you find those perfect pieces that will make your wedding vision come to life.

  • 2024 Wedding Day Aesthetic Trends

    Details matter. And, when curating the wedding you’ve always wanted, details matter a lot. At Ivory Rose, we understand that it’s the little things that, put together, create a cohesive and tasteful wedding aesthetic. But what is a wedding aesthetic? Aesthetics in the wedding world hinge on central colors, fonts, and design features, as well as how you want your wedding to feel: classic, flirty, romantic, fun, or something else entirely. While there are endless visions a couple can have for their wedding, we’ve compiled four core wedding aesthetics we’re loving for 2024. Garden Party Grounded in the soft, natural tones of spring and summer, this wedding aesthetic is elegant yet relaxed. The garden party aesthetic rests in the tried and true of bridal: creamy lace, fluffy florals, and treasured family heirlooms. Together, the garden party aesthetic is a timeless vision, and pairs well with a couple of quiet, steadfast love. Classic Old Money An old money vision hinges on theme colors of black and white, usually with a seasonally dependent accent color. Common consistencies include film photography and minimalist style choices, with a design focus on texture rather than color. When combined, the old money aesthetic is classy and experience-focused, blending the seriousness of matrimony with the fun of being champagne-drunk on love. Modern Whimsy Bright, airy, and fresh, the modern whimsy aesthetic is unabashedly trendy. This vision is energetically new and spins tradition on its head with everything from neon signs and disco balls to styled wildflowers and parasols. Particularly, the modern whimsy bride breaks and creates her own rules to build a uniquely unforgettable wedding. Natural Romantic The natural romantic aesthetic is deep, artful, and natural, with an emphasis on wood-tones and warm yet dark hues. Light—particularly golden-toned light—plays a forefront role in this vision, resulting in an abundance of candles, string lights, and golden-hour photos. All of the natural romantic aesthetics' details meld into an charming, naturally grand, intentional gathering of friends and family. Arriving at your dress appointment with an aesthetic in mind allows your stylist to best align with your bridal vision. As wedding fashion experts, we’re committed to understanding a bride’s specific vision for her wedding, and love finding a dream dress that plays a central role in solidifying the event’s aesthetic inspiration.

  • Ivory Rose Bride: Emilee

    Childhood enemies turned high school sweethearts, Emilee and her now-husband Jaedon aimed to create a wedding that honored the past while also celebrating their future. The couple tied the knot in early June at downtown Neenah’s Ballroom at the Reserve. Amidst the Reserve’s historic architecture, the couple incorporated a mixture of patterns, soft florals, unique illustrations, and touches of gold in order to craft a wedding both fresh and classic. To create a unique and timeless wedding experience, the couple integrated a variety of family heirlooms into their day, including a compact mirror, ring box, World War II bible, and family bridal portraits dating back to the 1910s. Vintage and antique elements were counterbalanced by modern yet classic bridal looks and a statement arbor display.

  • Bridal Trends: Veils

    As we head into the wedding season, it's time to start thinking about bridal fashion trends for your upcoming big day. One of the most important accessories for any bride is the veil, and this year's trends are all about making a statement with this classic accessory. From bold and dramatic to romantic and ethereal, there are plenty of veil styles to choose from. Here are some of the top veil trends to watch out for. Statement Veils One of the biggest trends in bridal fashion for 2024 is statement veils. These veils are designed to make a bold statement and are often embellished with intricate beading, lace, or embroidery. From cathedral-length veils with intricate detailing to short and sweet veils with bold accents, statement veils are perfect for the bride who wants to make a statement on her wedding day. Minimalist Veils On the opposite end of the spectrum are minimalist veils. These veils are all about simplicity and understated elegance. Minimalist veils are often made of sheer, lightweight fabrics like tulle or chiffon and are designed to complement rather than overpower the bridal gown. This trend is perfect for the bride who wants to keep her look clean and classic. Colored Veils While traditional white and ivory veils are always in style, colored veils are becoming more popular in 2024. Shades like blush, champagne, and even bold jewel tones are being used to add a pop of color and personality to bridal looks.
