Charlie Party

,

The Charlie Party at Bustle on December 3rd gave us a chance to feature some of our favorite man-stuff. We had some of the greatest local artisans in Birmingham selling their merchandise and delivering high-fives. Charlie Birmingham launched their new line of pocket squares, Salence featured their incredible outerwear, Huckstraps brought their 100% recycled thermoplastic belts, ML Leather sold all types of leather goods and we did have something for the ladies... Kate Morris was there with her line of beautiful jewels and gems!

Not only were there tons of manly gifts to choose from, we also had some yummy bites from Happy Catering Co., custom cocktails by Noah McCullough, fresh coffee from Fivezies, and the best beats from DJ Coco. It was a wonderful night to say the least.

Bustle Bride: Stefania Cumuze Yuhas

Stefania is such a joy, we absolutely LOVED getting to know her. Many thanks so the wonderful Evan G. Cooper for sending her our way!

Stefania chose a stunning Melissa Sweet gown and had it customized by the fabulous Catherine Ryals. Catherine dropped the lining in the back to create a beautiful lace illusions scoop back. It is perfectly Stefania! Take a look at a few of our favorite photos from her wedding to John Yuhas.

VIP Bride: Anslee Allen

What a fabulous afternoon we had pampering Anslee and her four lovely guests. She was accompanied by her mother, Laura; her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Melanie; her maid-of-honor, Kathryn and her bridesmaid, Hailey. The girls arrived to goodie bags full of surprises including lip gloss from Rawwbeauty, bracelets from Erin McGarrah, mini-emergency kits from Tres Beau Weddings, free classes from Pure Barre and much more. Once they had a chance to dig into their bags, everyone settled in to nibble on cake bites and sip some bubbly while they swooned over Anslee in each gown she tried! Anslee found the gown of her dreams and you can see the excitement on the bridesmaid's faces at exactly the moment they knew she had found the one! The afternoon was captured in photos by the fabulous, Laura Walker, and we want to share a few of our favorite with you! Enjoy a taste of the sweet life and stay tuned to @BustleGowns on Instagram - you may be our next VIP bride!
