As you can see from the images, courtesy of Gray Photography, the results were well worth the effort of all the amazing contributing artists!

Fun at the Franklin Bridal Ball

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago Adornments participated in the yearly Franklin Bridal Ball, held right here in the Factory at Franklin!

It was a pretty busy day- but we had a great time meeting with local brides and their families!

: Our booth at the Franklin Bridal Ball

Nashville area brides were out in force to check out the local wedding vendors and get ideas, and Adornments excels at unique ideas for those special finishing touches (if I do say so myself!). We had a great variety of hand made jewelry and invitations on display. As always brides are encouraged to discuss their ideas with us and work with our designers to create something unique just for them!

Sample papers on display for inspiration in designing your own invitation!

Toward the end of the evening the Bridal Ball put on a fashion show featuring our favorite local designer, Olia Zavozina and you know we had to get our jewelry on the catwalk too!! Handily enough, our booth was right next to Olia’s too.

: Alexis, Laura, Olia, and Lucinda

Laura and Lucinda are both sporting custom fashion designs by Olia and doubled as models for the fashion show!! Need I mention the amazing jewelry we’re wearing? Check it out!!

Here are some shots from the fashion show.. why do models always look so cranky??

Keep an eye out for the above necklace in upcoming posts… it’s about to play a very special role!!

And because we can never take anything very seriously… our very own models striking poses:

At the end of the evening we raffled off a pair of hand made earrings (who doesn’t love free stuff?!).

Earring Raffle

Don’t forget- Adornments offered some great discounts to Bridal Ball attendees! So come visit us and let us design something special just for you!!

And we're finally open!!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Lest you start to think that we’ve abandoned you all or succumbed to laziness due to our recent lack of postage…let me reassure you that we have not forgotten our loyal blog followers!! We’ve merely been trapped under heavy piles of lumber behind buckets of paint.. But we’re finally free again!!! So we invite you to view our journey from upstairs at the Factory at Franklin to our shiny, new location just off the commons area- DOWNSTAIRS (yes, still at the Factory)!!

So, just in case you for some unknown reason were unable to visit us previously, this is what the shop used to look like..

Our old store upstairs at the Factory at Franklin

And this is what the new space looked like before its magical transformation into Adornments-land.

Of course, this just wouldn’t do! It all had to go!

Women at Work!

Nothing says construction like a girl posing with a ladder in front of a shop covered in brown paper.

The first thing to go- the black wall!

The painting crew!

Thankfully our families were willing to chip in to help us out!! Thanks everyone!!!

So, finally, after much painting, constructing, organizing, etc… Voila!

Our new gallery!

We are now open for business! Please stop by and visit us at the Factory!

Adornments is moving… downstairs!

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

That’s right- Adornments gallery is moving downstairs in the Factory at Franklin in August- so we should be that much more easy to find! We will be just off the common area next to Constant Craving (yes, we will now smell tasty food all day long… ahhh so good…)!

We're moving!

Look out for updates as we track the process of designing and decorating our new space!
