Thank You Thursday: Cinderella Pageant Talent Winner, Renee

Along with dressing brides, one of our favorite things to do is wardrobe pageant contestants - both young and old. This week's thank you comes from the mother of one of our younger pageant girls, Renee.  Renee was recently a competitor in the Arizona Cinderella Scholarship Pageant. The Cinderella pageant system focuses on inner beauty and promotes self-confidence in young women. We're pleased to help these young pageant contestants when we can. It warms our heart to see them do well and look well. Here's a warm thank you note from Renne's mother, Terri:

Denise Swartzman (left) and Renee (right)

Hi, We wanted to thank you for your love & support of Renee! She felt beautiful in the orange dress [not shown]. She won talent! I'll send a photo of her in it, but I wanted to email you this one in her crown & banner she won with Denise [Swartzman, Arizona Cinderella State Director]. We can't thank you enough!

Love, Terri Romo

Great job Renee! We love you!

Meet Landa

Landa Designs that is. Landa Designs is a new bridesmaid line to our boutique. We picked it up mostly for their amazingly cute, modest dresses. And if you're the kind of girl who likes to show off a little less (which is mysteriously sexy in our opinion), you know how hard it can be to find modest evening wear. Well, ladies, your search is over. We've got cute styles from Landa right in our boutique. Brides, your girls are gonna love you for these totally re-wearable styles...especially this red number below (isn't that the best?).

We've Got A Lafee Prom Scholarship Finalist!

We love, love, love when our customers win things from our designers! Designers post contests all the time and there is nothing more exciting than to find out that one of our girls has won something. So you can imagine how excited we were to find out that one of our prom customers, Theresa S. (we hope we're spelling your name right!), was announced as a finalist in the Lafee Prom Scholarship contest. In order to even be a finalist, Theresa had to submit a photo of herself in a Lafee gown and an essay about her well-rounded life as a high school student. Now that it's down to the top five, it will be up to the public to go, read her essay, check out her photo, and vote for her to win a $2,500.00 college scholarship. Wouldn't that be amazing if she won!?!
Voting will start on July 1st on the Lafee Prom website. We'll be posting soon about how you can help Theresa win.

Congratulations Jennifer!

Our newly crowned Miss Arizona is Jennifer Sedler! Our most sincere congratulations goes out to her!

We were at the pageant on Saturday in Gilbert watching her compete alongside her other talented and beautiful competitors. The dance number she performed was sultry and hot; she looked amazing in both her gown and swimsuit. And hats off to her for taking a stand and sounding very polished on a very difficult current events question. We have no doubt that she'll do very well at the Miss America pageant in Las Vegas this January.

Meanwhile, you can catch one of her first interviews with Good Morning Arizona (channel 3) below:

While we know that being crowned is the ultimate goal, we want to say to the other contestants: We are very proud of you! All of the ladies looked fantastic and we were proud to have you wear our gowns in your dance number and be a part of your pageant week.  Best wishes to all of you!

Good Luck Miss Arizona Hopefuls!

We were so excited to have all the Miss Arizona hopefuls in our boutique earlier this week. After their dance practice next door at Wagner Dance Arts, they stopped by to say hello. All of the girls were so nice and it was a joy to have them around. One of those lucky women is going to be crowned Miss Arizona 2011 this weekend. Later this year, Suzanne's Bridal Boutique will give the winner a scholarship to help wardrobe her for the Miss America pageant in January.
As the girls start the preliminary rounds tonight, we want to wish them all lots of luck and look forward to seeing them all on stage this Saturday night!

Maggie Sottero Fall 2011 Sneak Peek

We know that you've all been waiting very patiently for the newest collection of Maggie Sottero gowns to come in. Well, it will still be a few weeks yet before we see them in store, but here is a very small sneak peek...

First, a little about the collection in the words of Maggie Sottero:

"This season Maggie Brides will discover drama and diversity unlike ever before. Feminine floral accents dance across skirts and adorn bodices in splendid contrast to the glitz of crystals imbued in lace overlays, scattered through raw-edged embellishments and encrusted in glamorous detachable belts. Body-hugging silhouettes, classic A-lines and grand ball gowns presented in equal ease with fashion forward artistry and innovative design deliver the impeccable style and incomparable fit for which Maggie Sottero is known."

Sounds fabulous, doesn't it? Well, here are the pix to prove that it is. Sorry, we don't have bigger images to share...you'll have to wait to see the gowns in person (and yes, we are scheduled to receive all three of these gowns)!

You can never have enough cute shoes! Which is why we had no problem adding in this adorable shoe line.

Thank You Thursday: Sharisa

We've all heard about what a whiz Suzanne is on the sewing machine. We've see the necklines reworked, the sleeves added, and the hems adjusted. But the true testament of what kind of sewing genius Suzanne is comes out when she custom designs a dress for a bride. Admittedly, she doesn't get to do too many custom gowns due to the volume of special order gowns she works on (she claims we chain her to her sewing machine...we have no comment. *smiles*), but when she does, these gowns always make a statement.

Sharisa's dress is one that Suzanne is particularly proud of. Sharisa had a vision of something unique, couture, stylish.  We'd say that Suzanne did a spectacular job of making that vision come to life - and Sharisa thinks so too.  She emailed us this quick note:

Just wanted to shoot you this iPhone pic of the dress. . . . . . . I hope you know how much I appreciate your time and effort on the dress. It turned out better than I could have even hoped for :) I have had everyone I know asking me about where it came from so I've been raving about you on facebook since the wedding!! Thanks again, I love you!
Sharisa Phelps :)

Thanks Sharisa; Suzanne sends all her love to you too! You can't see all the detailing in this picture, but there are fabric rosettes that circle the bust line. The layers of flounce create a dreamy fluttering skirt that you can't help but adore.

Please send along your thank you notes, with pictures, to sbbmktg@aol.com and you could be featured on our blog!
