If you are a bride-to-be, run don’t walk to the new BHLDN store located in Chicago’s Gold Coast!

Filled to the brim with intricate gowns, unique headpieces and gorgeous jewels – this is the perfect destination to be inspired. In fact, with the first floor dedicated to bridesmaid and cocktail dresses, a room littered with paper and party goods and a cozy nook stocked with intimates; this is the perfect destination for any one that is throwing OR going to a wedding.

The Bridal Gown room features one amazing dress after another and all with their own, unique twist. I was already picking out a “getaway” dresses and this pearl-incrusted bolero.

Anyone planning a wedding shower or party will find oodles of inspiration in here.

And last but not least, I had the pleasure of meeting Darcy Miller, the editor of Martha Stewart Weddings – a highlight of the night!

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Planning!
