Meet the experts!

I am excited to announce that together with Lindsey Maurath Events, The Plumed Serpent is going to be hosting round table discussions for all of our current and future brides.  We feel that as a "full service" bridal salon we should be helping with things related to your wedding that go beyond the dress.

We have always worked with great vendors and recommended them to our clients - but wouldn't it be fantastic to have a panel of them to answer your questions and share their knowledge in their area of expertise

We have some great topics already in the works, but we would love to hear from YOU!  What topics would you like to hear about?  

Some of the ideas that are brewing are:
  • Green Weddings
  • Wedding Day Beauty
  • Financial Planning
  • Honeymoons
  • Flowers and arrangements
  • Cake tastings
  • Catering and menus for your wedding and shower
What do you think?  Which of these would you be most interested in hearing about?

Please post your vote as well as any other ideas you have.  We will be announcing the date soon - so please check back to either our website or here.

SoleMates - A Genius Idea

Becca & Monica two remarkable and brilliant ladies came into the store to show me their recent creation - SoleMates.  

As a complete shoe girl I could totally relate to his problem:

So many of our brides are getting married in venues where the cocktail hour is outside.  And they are always looking for stylish shoes with a "chunkier"heel so they do not sink into the grass.  It is very hard to find a great shoe with a chunky heel - trust me - I've looked.  All the great shoes have thin heels and the chunky heeled shoes can be a bit frumpy and/or boring.

SoleMates comes to the rescue:


It is a little plastic slip on for your heels so that you don't sink into the lawn.  ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!  I LOVE this idea - now I can wear my great stillettos .  Great for the bride, bridesmaids and would also be a great idea to put in guest baskets for guests who have high heels.
They come in clear as well as black and when wearing the shoes in grass are barely noticable.
And they keep your heels from getting destroyed and keep you from sinking into the grass.  

SoleMates are available at The Plumed Serpent for $11.95.  We know you will love this idea as much as we do!
