Let Freedom Ring

Happy Thursday, everyone! Hopefully it's a short work week for all of you in anticipation of the upcoming holiday and you have something fun planned for the weekend.

First, I'd like to remind everyone that WE'VE MOVED and are officially open at our new location at 5200 E. Market St.! We are so thankful to all of our loyal and amazing customers. Without your love, patience, and support we wouldn't have made it through this transition as smoothly as we did. We are so excited and can't wait for all of you to come visit us in our new store!

Second, with the holiday coming up in a couple days, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of the military troops, friends, and family members. Veterans, active duty, and those who will serve in the future: we extend our gratitude to you on this, and every, day. Without you, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms that we do. At Evaline's Bridal, we are proud to support our military brides by participating in the Brides Across America Event in the fall. Our goal is to give free wedding gowns to women who are either serving (or have recently served) in the military or are marrying someone who is. The event is just one small way that we strive to give back to those who deserve the respect and gratitude from our community. For more information about the event, please check out the Brides Across America website or contact us with any questions!

I hope everyone has a safe, fun, and beautiful Fourth of July celebration this weekend. To get you into the patriotic spirit just a little early, check out these festive patriotic wedding ideas!

Endearing Engagement
Show off your pride for the stars and stripes by incorporating the American flag into your engagement photos! Whether you're a military bride or not, you can't go wrong with our nations symbol of freedom wrapped about your shoulders!

Red, White, & Bridesmaids
The added bonus of hosting a patriotic themed wedding is that the color pallet is already done for you! Have your bridesmaids wear navy or royal blue or even a deep red or cranberry. It's easy to play with the right shades to fit your style and the theme, and don't forget: you get to wear the white!

Festive Favors
I mean, look at how cute these little mason jars are! These festive holiday favors are perfect for guests because they can use them year round. Plus, there are endless possibilities. We even like the idea of giving out little flags with your wedding details inscribed on them!

Sparkler Send-Off
There's no better time to whip out the sparklers than at the end of the reception as the newlyweds make their escape. If you're getting married on the Fourth of July, maybe you can even incorporate a fireworks display. Just remember to be safe!

Dazzling Details
Maybe you want to incorporate your patriotism in a more subtle way on your big day. The best way to do so is to sneak in little details as accents. We love this colorful bouquet, but you can also find a spirited garter or some blue and red shoes. Even just having a few small flags dotted in your flower and table displays are a cute and subtle way of showing off your pride!
