This is a silly little post, but I’m so excited I had to share! We just had these little clip boards made for our clients.

They are so cute! Little red bows, with an antique crystal button, and a zebra print board. Every bride and prom client gets a clip board to sign in on at the beginning of her appointment. We topped off the look with some fine linen paper.

Feel the posh. Ooooh. Aaaaah. ;o)

Did you know that Belle’s Bridal is a swank New York style boutique located right smack in the happenin part of lil old Abilene? Why you ask? Why is there a NY style boutique in Abilene? Easy - the owners are from the Big Apple!

So, what the heck is a NY style boutique? It’s to die for!  A boutique is a swank store that is small on purpose.  Boutiques generally carry specialty items, custom items, and one of a kind items.  They do not specialize in stacking deep and selling them cheap - and that phrase makes boutique groupies cringe.  No, a boutique is a place to experience shopping at it’s finest.  It’s a place where a personal shopper will wait on you and help you find the exact thing you were looking for.  And the consultants at Belle’s Bridal in Abilene are so great, they can help you find the exact gown you want, even if you have no clue what it is yet!

So, now that you know what a boutique is, let’s add the NY part.  NY is one of the greatest cities in the world in its fashion forward thinking.  And it’s boutiques can accommodate the vast variety of shoppers who live in that area.  They do this by knowing their area of expertise inside out.  We know weddings inside out.  That makes your time of being the bride MUCH easier.  Our clients can utilize our expertise to the fullest, which makes being a bride more fun.

Now I’m sure you want to hear how all this was applied to our Abilene boutique!  Our swank boutique is a shopping experience.  From the time you call to set your appointment for bridal, prom, or mom’s dresses, through the appointment, and beyond - you’ll see how it feels to be a Belle’s Boutique client.  I can sum it up in two words - lavishly pampered.  You’ll be assigned your own personal shopper during your private appointment in our relaxing boutique.  They are a specialist in their field and should have the answers to all your questions and have the answers to lots more questions you didn’t know to ask.  Her job is to help you find the perfect dress for YOU.  She will help you navigate our stock of designer dresses and gowns to find the one that it perfect for you!

Amongst the dresses we have hanging at Belle’s, you will find that no two prom dresses are identical.  This helps to assure that you don’t show up at prom with 5 other girls wearing your dress.

And Belle’s wedding gowns!  OMG!  You’re gonna die.  If you have never been in a NY style boutique, you are gonna love it.  Our buyers have the latest styles, while still maintaining classic wedding gowns for more traditional brides.  Belle’s even has a custom line of gowns that are ONE OF A KIND.  The gown was specially commissioned for our store - there is no other like it.  Belle’s Bridal Boutique is about helping you find the perfect dress for YOU.

If you are bargain shopping, keep going!  We are not your store.  Our designer wedding gowns range from $1,000-$5,000.  Our prom dresses are mostly $500-$700.

Belle’s Bridal Boutique is for the woman who wants what she wants.  Call now to make your appointment and prepare to be pampered!  (325)673-0033

Congrats to Kanyon and Erika! They got married at ACU last weekend. Kanyon came to Belle’s Bridal to get all the tuxes for his wedding party.

Its really easy to choose the tux that is perfect for you. Belle’s has tuxes that range from your classic Casablanca style tux, to tuxes with tails and top hats, to western style tuxes and everything in between.

And this new shade of blue that the Brown’s selected is awesome! It’s so rich and adds a nice pop to your wedding photos.
