Attached-hairpieceWhen Christine Gardner of Flaunt Make-Overs asked us a couple of months ago if we would be interested in carrying her new line of hair accessories at The Bridal Boutique, it was a no brainer! We know how talented she is and it’s no surprise that she has expanded her repertoire by creating modern, trendy and BEAUTIFUL hairpieces for the bride. Prices are reasonable starting at $35.

 

While we were lucky enough to have featured her designs since September, Christine is officially debuting her pieces at The Wedding Cafe, Alliway, Global Village and of course The Bridal Boutique on Thursday, November 20th.

Joyce,

I can only imagine just how sad you must feel
For losing someone so special you love.

This grief-filled time must still feel surreal
And you’re searching for answers from above.

I hope, with all my heart, that your pain will decrease
That your spirit will be uplifted and gain strength again.

I pray that your faith will bring about inner peace
And that almighty God will send blessings from heaven.

‘Til then, my dear friend, if you need me to lighten your load
I am eagerly waiting to come to your aid.

Just call on me, and I’ll travel down that rough road,
Until the dark and difficult times begin to fade.

Love,
Cil
