Ever dreamed of working with brides? Love fashion and designers like Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta?? Well then do we have an opportunity for you! We are hiring a full time sales consultant. The position is for Tuesday through Saturday (you get Sunday and Monday off). Another perk? You would attend bridal fashion week (in NYC!!!) twice a year :) Sound like something you may be interested in? Contact Allison at 615.297.7800 or send your resume and cover letter to bhughesbridalformal@gmail.com. We are looking to get the position filled in the next week, so please send your information our way.

Great Wedding Gift Ideas

How many weddings have you attended this summer? And how many will you attend this fall? I don't know about you, but I love getting personal gifts that aren't on the registry {do you think this is a yes or no? I think it is a yes--especially when I have already given a registry item at a shower or party OR if the bride and groom already have everything they need}. As I perused the August issue of InStyle, I stumbled upon some unique wedding gift ideas that I simply love.

1. A tray created from the bride and groom's wedding invitation {Tori Spelling received one}

How great is that?!?! It's a beautiful memento of the day AND {bonus points} it's useful :) For more local information on this, please call Ibiza Fine Gifts 615-279-8000. Or be sure and check your local gift registry stores.

2. Return address/Monogram Stamps

The perfect gift for the bride that loves all things monogrammed :) Check out Paper Source for items such as these OR your local invitation shop {we love local stores}. Nashvillians--check out Social Graces, A Paper Place, or The Dotted Line.
