I’m dying to hear what you guys think about this dress. It’s certainly unique and has a very organic quality to it with the fabric remnant skirt. Would you ever wear something like this?
Big news this morning for Carolina fans of the Priscilla of Boston bridal line – their Signature Salon experience is coming to Raleigh!
As a long time fan of the line, this is so exciting. I have long preached that the POB label as well as Melissa Sweet, Vineyard, Jewel, Platinum and Reverie (which all fall under the same design house) are tailor made for the Carolina bride. Classic sensibilities with modern touches thrown in for of-the-moment looks. I really think there is a dress for every bride and every budget in these lines. Indeed, two of my all-time favorite dresses from my Top Ten series are by Priscilla of Boston & Melissa Sweet.

The grand opening is slated for Saturday, June 19th, and it is the first and only Priscilla of Boston Signature Salon in the Carolinas. The boutique will be located at 2023 Cameron Street in Raleigh in the heart of Cameron Village.
They will also carry their lovely bridesmaid designs so even if you already have your dress but are still on the hunt for your girls, you have to check it out!
No further word on if locally owned boutiques who carry the line will continue to do so or if the Signature Salon will become the one spot to get your hands on one of these beauties. Maybe someone in the know will chime in and fill us in!
Either way, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Priscilla of Boston and crew to Raleigh. Carolina brides thank you!
Today is my 5 year wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since that gorgeous day on the Outer Banks surrounded by our closest friends and family. We’ve been so blessed and just downright happy that it really has flown by.
Instead of celebrating with some great big pomp & circumstance, we’re spending the weekend in Maryland with family and celebrating the news of a healthy baby on the way (I’m 19 weeks today!). After a bit of a health scare the last few weeks (more on that in a future post), test results from this week revealed we are out of the woods and truly thankful and focused on the thing that really matters – this new life we’ve created together and are eagerly awaiting.
So bare with me! I know I’ve neglected poor lil’ White Thread over the last couple of weeks but I promise I have some fun posts planned to share (including our nursery design which has nothing to do with weddings but is so stinkin’ fun I just have to share!)
Here’s to a fun weekend of outdoor activities, mint julep drinking and all around Southern-ness See you Monday!

I love seeing our very own, fabulous Carolina wedding vendors get recognized on a national scale. Today, the fabulous team of Cunningham Photo Artists, Ivy Robinson weddings & events, The Wow Factor Cakes, Hayden Olivia Bridal and Swanky Bride just to name a few, were featured in a Style Me Pretty Inspiration to Reality feature.
Head over to SMP for all the details but here are just some of the swanky pink and black features.
And because I can never get enough of Modern Trousseau’s amazing designs, here is a feature shot of the dress used in this shoot. So glam, I love it!!
