Xtabay Brides Revisited

I can't believe it's been a whole year since we opened the Bridal Salon! I was going through my old files and found a folder Holly Andres had sent me last year. In it were pictures she had taken of models wearing Xtabay wedding gowns (all of which have now sold) in the brand new Bridal Salon. Being a modern girl I was only interested in looking at the color pictures she'd taken. I failed to ever see them in black and white! So I was surprised when I looked and realized how fabulous they were. So I thought I'd share them with you:)

Xtabay Vintage Bridal Salon is excited to be featured in the Oregonian coming up soon this month. Here are some shots of an Xtabay bride during a fitting with our seamstress Erin--while being photographed by Ross Hamilton of the Oregonian.

Do you recognize the gown she purchased? It's one of the gowns above--I think she looks stunning!

Thanks for looking!

Prom season has been in full swing the last couple of weeks.  I am so excited to see so many high school students going vintage this year. It's been so much fun watching these young ladies transform into glamorous looking movie stars...

Here is a fabulous photograph taken of Kaylon in Alabama wearing her Xtabay prom dress this year. Doesn't she look beautiful? Seriously, she is the cutest thing ever! Thanks Kaylon for sharing this with me:)
