Weekend Ahead: April 1-2

You’ve got wedding party fashion shopping options to keep you busy while your friends are sipping mimosas while clad in their newest Lilly Pulitzer frock and Jack Roger’s sandals at Carolina Cup this weekend …

Tara Keely at Hayden Olivia Bridal

Brides looking for an elegant, but simple modern dress with details like color, ribbons, or brooches should make an appointment to see the Tara Keely (a JLM couture collection) bridal line at Hayden Olivia this weekend. Looking for something special like pleated lace or an organza overlay? Call them and make an appointment before you get busy with work and afternoon meetings. (Psst. Hayden Olivia typically offers up discounts for gowns purchased during trunk show events, so be sure to ask!) 221 South Tryon Street, #200, 704-333-0377, haydenolivia.com

Coren Moore at Bella Bridesmaid

South End’s Bella Bridesmaid (say hi to owner Cecily for me—she’s a gem!) will host a Coren Moore trunk show this weekend for the hugely popular bridesmaid collection and party dresses. Simple but modern silhouettes in tons of gorgeous and fun colors. Choose a color, let your girls pick a style, or choose various colors in various styles. 2133 Southend Drive, Suite 104, 704-817-7547, bellabridesmaid.com
