Unveiled is a luxury bridal runway show, filled with the most up and coming designs from a handful of our designers. The event will feature three dedicated couture runway sessions, a luxury lounge and photo spaces, and the best part? A sparkling VIP after party to end the night.

The first show of the night will exclusively feature Colby John bridal. A self-taught designer based in Minneapolis, Colby is passionate about mixing fashion and innovation. Colby understands that every bride is unique, that's why every bridal dress is fully customizable. We are honored to be having Colby John himself join us for this event - it’s going to be one to remember!

The second show will be themed around structured minimalism, featuring gowns that embody that timeless, tasteful look with a modern, structured twist. It’s giving Audrey Hepburn if her wedding was in 2023, and we are here for it.

The third and final show is all about bold glamour. This show will feature a variety of lace, sparkle and beading detail. A true runway moment!

The Unveiled Runway Show is benefitting Vow for Girls, a growing global movement that partners with brands, individuals, and the wedding industry to end the international child marriage crisis and support girls to live lives they love.

Join us and celebrity host, Hannah Ann from The Bachelor at Unveiled on September 14, 2023 at The Sixpence Wedding Venue to see these gowns come to life on the runway.

And a Sixpence in your shoe…

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue… and a sixpence in your shoe.” The old wedding poem was the start of the Sixpence name.

The “forgotten” line of the poem, “and a sixpence in your shoe,” encompassed the exact portrayal of their space that they were looking for. Because this is an overlooked detail in the poem, their vision was to bring this phrase back to life along with a wedding venue that reflects thoughtfulness in every aspect.

The Sixpence came to fruition through years of experience in the wedding industry. For Shelby (Henry) Dempsey, she began in the photo and video world. She spent years as a professional serving clients around the world and seeing all of the things she loved and didn’t love about wedding days and of course, venues.

She wasn’t completely confident that there was a venue in her hometown that offered the true meaning of both functionality and aesthetics. Together with her parents, Chris and Tana Henry, Shelby built The Sixpence barn from the ground up, on 17 acres of property, designed with beauty and hosting in mind.

The Sixpence offers many features that serve their clients in unique and elevated ways. They have overnight accommodations, multiple indoor and outdoor celebration spaces, private getting ready suites, customizable bar packages, ADA-compliant and accessible facilities— this venue space plus all of their services goes to showcase how their team has thought through every detail of hosting the PERFECT event.

If you are reading this and are a newly engaged girly — book a private, complimentary tour at The Sixpence through thesixpence.com to see their space in person. This tour will be led by one of their talented venue managers, who can share details of our services and features. If you are unable to go see the beautiful venue in person, try connecting with them on email at hello@thesixpence.com so they can schedule a virtual tour for you!

01. SHEER FABRICS

Where bold meets sexy - sheer fabrics have entered the chat. Some of our favorite bridal gowns combine this “barely-there” design with dimensional floral applique and stunning beading detail.

03. ASYMMETRICAL NECKLINE

We LIVE for the asymmetrical neckline trend. It’s such a fun twist on a classic look, giving a modern edge to more traditional bridal fabrics like crepe and silk.

06. LITTLE BOWS

Bows are such a fun way to give a bridal gown a romantic, girly touch. We’re seeing our designers incorporate them in a few different ways, including on belts, on the shoulders, and of course as as statement on the back of the gown.

TWS PREDICTS: LAYERS

What does TWS think will be the next biggest thing in bridal, you ask? Our answer is layers. We are starting to see designers take looks to the next level by adding layers throughout the skirt with a variety of fabrics. And to put it simply? We cannot get enough.

If you’re reading this and you’re a bride, RUN- I mean, RUN, to one of The Wedding Studio locations to find your dream wedding dress. 

My name is Allison Utterback and I am a 2023 bride. I currently work for the Wedding Studios as their Executive Coordinator. Now knowing that, you may think the first line is a little biased- but, I can say it isn’t, because I was a TWS bride prior to working here and thank God I was, because their staff, selection, and overall bridal experience is unmatched. 

In August of 2022, I brought my family with me to an appointment at The Wedding Studio Carmel in hopes of finding my dream wedding dress (the new location though- insane). Adrienne Love, the owner, took my appointment and styled me perfectly. The experience was unlike anything else from the time I stepped in the door until the time I left with my big bottle of champagne. Now, I have my dream dress plus memories with family I will never forget.

Every bride dreams of the day that they find their wedding dress. In my opinion, it is the experience that makes this day enjoyable for the brides and that is exactly what the Wedding Studio(s) stand for, and you can tell by the way they treat every bride that walks in their doors.

One detail that I love about the Wedding Studio is brides are contacted prior to their appointment and asked to share any styles they have in mind. When going through this myself, this gave me time to truly think about what I wanted before arriving. When I arrived, the TWS staff showed me the gowns I sent them along with other styles they thought I would love. Their willingness to go out of their way to prepare for my appointment on top of all the other brides they planned to see that day was amazing. It made the process underwhelming and made me feel special, which is how every bride should feel! 

My experience at TWS was such a good one that it prompted me to reach out about working alongside these amazing people everyday! Now, that I am on the other end of this experience, it makes me want to give every bride that exact same feeling on one of the most important days of their lives. 

All in all, The Wedding Studio will always hold a special place in my heart. From giving me something that will make me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day to giving me a career in something I enjoy doing every single day. 

Come see us, you will not regret it <3

We are so excited to do our first TWS bride blog feature! Savanna was such an amazing bride to work with and we are thrilled to share more from her stunning day!

Your favorite moment/memory from your wedding day: My favorite moment/memory from our wedding day was our “send-in” to our first dance. Instead of doing a “send-off” at the end of the night, we decided to have our big moment after our reception dinner, into our first dance. This was my favorite moment because my nerves were finally calming down and I was able to acknowledge and enjoy our loved ones who joined us in celebrating our love. Our “send-in” felt like a magical sensation that led straight into our first dance. The exhilarating feeling was extraordinary. In that moment, I truly felt like my husband and I were the only two people there. We met and fell in love on a dance floor. Letting loose and having fun while dancing is where our love feels the most alive. 

Describe your bridal style and share your favorite moment/memory from wedding dress shopping at TWS: Going into bridal dress shopping, I was stressing because I wanted multiple bridal styles, but didn’t know how I would achieve it all without buying multiple dresses, which I didn’t want to do. Going into TWS, I connected with Savannah, not only because we shared the same name AND same tattoo, but because of how well she understood the assignment from an indecisive bride-to-be. When she asked about the bridal style I was going for, I gave her a variety of styles that I wanted to achieve in one dress. I wanted something classic, elegant, sexy, fun with tulle, but also sweet.

I explained that I needed a dress that was sexy for my husband, classic and elegant for my ceremony, but fun for me to dance and get low at the reception. I told Savannah that I had my mothers bridal gown cut up and I planned to use her train as a skirt attachment to wear during the ceremony. I wanted multiple looks from one dress. After a few beautiful dresses, I found my simple, classic dress, but still needed those additional styles I endeavored. Savannah brought me a variety of sleeves to try on with my dress and immediately each of my desired styles came to life and were accomplished!

As my family and I were admiring my achieved looks, the ladies of TWS, including the owner, Adrienne, also stopped by to admire and rave about the final looks! I was stuck between wanting two sets of sleeves, but was trying to stay in my budget. Unexpectedly and so kindly, Adrienne raved over the looks we accomplished and wanted me to have all the styles I desired on my wedding day, so she gifted me the second set of sleeves! I know, right? I was astonished and grateful for her extraordinary offer and for making my experience at TWS that much more special. 

How did you make your wedding personal to your love story? We made our wedding personal to our love story by choosing a ceremony ritual that did just that. In the early stages of our love story, we were in a long distance relationship. During this time, we would write and send love letters to each other. Throughout our dating years and still to this day, we continue to write each other little love letters with every gift and holiday we celebrate. When looking into ceremony rituals, we knew we wanted one that connected to our love story and felt most like us. When we heard about the Wine Box and Love Letter Ceremony ritual, we immediately knew it was the one. This ceremony ritual included a box containing a bottle of wine and a love letter from each to the other. The letters were to describe the good qualities we find in one another, the reasons we fell in love, and our reasons for choosing to marry.

During the ceremony we put the letters in the box with the wine and locked the box. This created our own little time capsule to be opened on our first wedding anniversary. On our anniversary, we will open the box, read the love letters, pop open the bottle of wine, and celebrate! We plan to keep this going and repeat every year; we will write each other a new love letter, get a new bottle of wine, and put it away until our next anniversary. 

xx, Savanna + TWS <3
