A Chic Editorial on Style Me Pretty Featuring our Romona Keveza Gown

What a wonderful Monday surprise! We woke up to the news that this stunning editorial featuring our Romona Keveza gown is on the homepage of Style Me Pretty - one of our all time favorite sources for wedding inspiration.

We love the approach to these wild and modern florals paired with the clean lines of the Romona Keveza wedding dress. Pair that with the stunning architecture of The Wharf Miami, a new wedding venue on the Miami River with a slightly industrial feel, and we’re smitten!

Scroll down for the full vendor list - we’re so honored to be included in these editorial shoots featuring such tremendous local talent.

Three Things to Avoid On Your Wedding Day

A few weeks ago we chatted with Catherine about "Three Do's For Brides On Their Wedding Day," who better to give some tips and tricks she's picked up after years of talking to brides? Today, she's telling us three things she things bride's shouldn't do on their wedding day. We won't call them "don'ts" because every girl has her own way, but we will say that if you follow this advice you'll make your day just that extra bit less stressful - don't say we didn't warn you!

  • Avoid making a drastic change to your appearance right before the wedding. If you're going to try a new look for your wedding, go for it way in advance. You don't want to chop off your signature long locks a week before the wedding and then go into a panic because you don't look like you.
  • Try to avoid salty foods the day before. Salty foods can be comforting if you're nerves are running a bit wild, we know the power of a bag of chips, but avoid salty food because you'll retain water and be a bit bloated.
  • Make all your accessory decisions in advance. Avoid leaving yourself accessory options to decide on the last minute. Have your details picked out in advance so that you can sit back and enjoy the day without worrying over your earring choice in your precious few hours.

Join us this weekend for the Romona Keveza Trunk Show at Chic Parisien.

Make your appointments now our beautiful brides-to-be!

Bridal Market Wrap-Up! Plus, This Weekend's Romona Keveza Trunk Show

Few things could top a weekend trip to New York City in the spring, unless of course you're there to attend Bridal Market. It was a whirlwind trip, but we certainly made the most of the three-day event to bring you, our Chic brides, the latest bridal styles from top designers from around the world, including Jenny Packham, Mira Zwillinger, Anne Barge, Ines Di Santo, Romona Keveza, Naeem Khan, Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier and Lazaro.

Our action-packed schedule was a dazzling display of crystals, pearls, tulle, and lace. The runways were nearly as gorgeous as the gowns themselves, as many featured creative themes including Enchanted Forest (Naeem Khan) and Once Upon a Dream (Jenny Packham). There were many jaw-dropping moments, and we can't wait to bring the very best of these Spring 2015 designs to Chic Parisien.

For more behind-the-scenes moments from year's Bridal Market, check out our Instagram account, and watch this space for more information on the in-store arrival of the Spring 2015 collections.

Loving Lace!

Lace, lace, lace!  When it comes to wedding gowns, we adore lace!   Lace has been used by brides for hundreds of years.  They’ve incorporated it in veils, handkerchiefs, sometimes, even on shoes.  But our favorite use of lace are lace wedding dresses.  It's clear why it is so popular... It is so delicate, so feminine, so special.  In essence, it is simply breathtaking!  Lace can be a nod to tradition, yet still feel very timeless and modern! Here are some of our favorite lace gowns we’ve seen recently.  Would you wear a lace wedding gown?  Tell us your thoughts, we always love to hear!  For more lace inspiration, go here!
