Weekend Ahead: Aug. 12-14

Remember this jaw-dropping dress (left) that we used in our Style Me Pretty shoot? It’s Modern Trousseau and was designed specifically for the shoot at the request of Heather Batt of Hayden Olivia. Lucky you, Modern Trousseau designer Callie Tein will be at Hayden Olivia this weekend to meet with brides and to personally show her collection. (Friday and Saturday will be by appointment only.)

Brides, you might also want to cancel your Friday Happy Hour plans and head to Hayden Olivia instead for a bridal event that you don’t want to miss. While you wait to meet with Tein and see the collection with the designer,  enjoy a cocktail and taste some of Amy Craparo of The Wow Factor Cakes delicious cakes. There will also be make-up artists offering airbrush make-up demonstrations and Holly Bretschneider of Salutations will be meeting with brides about invitation suites and stationery. Fri., Aug. 13, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m., 221 S. Tryon St., 704-333-0377, haydenolivia.com
