wedding row wednesday | tip of the day |

josie jolon, owner of beneath the gown, has to be one of the nicest people you will ever meet. seriously, not only does she have a heart of gold, but her talent is beyond measure. she creates magic with the touch of a wand, where transformation is an understatement. not to mention, it was a pleasure for us to collaborate on the brand identity for beneath the gown.

josie was also kind enough to share with us some insight for our wedding row wednesday's |tip of the day|. . .when selecting undergarments for your wedding gown, josie advises:

•take a moment to make a list of areas you would like to improve 

•do not be afraid to ask for help

•take into consideration your comfort level

•just like with gowns, you must try on different pieces before making a purchase decision

 

hope you'll come meet her and all our neighbors on wedding row during our open house on november 1st. you can rsvp here.
