Saturday, 11/19, circa 1pm at the Thread Showroom: Bride-to-be Kim Snyder and her glow-y, excited bridesmaids, post-appointment. (And our Amy, second from right.)

If there is ever a time in life to spurge whilst traveling, it is surely during ye olde honeymoon, is it not? Only problem is that those splurges add up–and quickly. One word of advice, people? Jetsetter. Yes, as in the travel flash-sale sister site to Gilt Groupe. Nicole, for instance, booked four of the nine hotels she will be staying in over the course of her impending three-week honeymoon in Southeast Asia through Jetsetter, and not just any hotels, but some of the most legendary, most luxurious Thailand has to offer. And at a HEFTY discount, no less.

…here’s a look at Jackie’s happy, summer-y wedding. Working with a bride like Jackie is the stuff dreams are made of — at least here at Thread. We had a hunch Jackie would approach things a bit differently, being in the fashion biz and all, and we were right. She knew she wanted something different, and she knew what that something different was. And best of all? She wasn’t afraid to take risks in terms of mixing colors, and styles, and textures. And, well, folks: We’ll let the photo speak for itself. Just gorgeous.

Congratulations, Jackie & Brandon!

(Jackie’s lovely ladies wear assorted styles from the Luxe Collection in various shades of green chiffon charmeuse.)

… we have decided to open up shop (literally) for another weekend of appointments. Our last weekend just filled up too quickly, and went by too quickly, so we figured we might as well make everyone happy. (We know, so good of us.) As always, email or call our sweet Amy for an appointment, and as always, discounts will be offered and champagne will be on hand. Two key elements, we know, in the bridesmaid dress shopping experience. Or, heck, any dress shopping experience.

(Side note: How lovely is the above photo? We snagged it from an email our pal (and recent bride) Jackie sent us containing snapshots from her beautiful wedding. We promise to post more photos from her wedding shortly, so stay tuned–and get ready to be inspired!)
