Once Upon A Dream: Monique Lhuillier Spring 2015 Collection Debuts This Weekend

What's the connection between Monique Lhuillier's long awaited Spring 2015 collection and famed American artist John Singer Sargent? The ethereal nature of his portraits, which includes the elegant and mysterious Madame X (below), served as the inspiration for the entire collection.

You may recall that we first brought this collection to you during our behind-the-scenes reporting at bridal market in New York City back in April, and now we're thrilled to finally welcome these stunning gowns in store.

Described as "'[an] ethereal dream" by Monique Lhuillier herself, the Spring 2015 Collection features tulle, Chantilly lace, intricate beading and embroideries. Silhouettes range from mermaid styles to architectural shapes. The collection also features whimsical pastel options in shades of blush, pistachio, and mist.

For this collection, the designer certainly favored the embroidered tulle gowns in a strapless A-line cut with matching shrugs, as well as timeless strapless styles, replete with tiered tulle and lace appliqué skirt.

This Friday and Saturday, we will host a dedicated Trunk Show to showcase Monique Lhuillier's complete Spring 2015 Collection. Chic brides are encouraged to reserve an appointment soon, as this will be one of our premier Trunk Shows for 2014.

As you may know, Chic Parisien is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our Facebook page, where we are posting key milestones, memories and highlights from the past four and a half decades for 45 consecutive days. As part of the celebration, we'd also like to salute our dear friend, Monique, whose designs we've been privileged to carry in store for many years.

We hope you will join us this Friday and Saturday. We look forward to seeing you there!

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. Speaking of special events, this weekend Chic Parisien is hosting a Romona Keveza trunk show, featuring the designer's famed Legends Collection. This collection is ultra feminine and draws inspiration from many time periods. This diverse collection will have something for every bride, no matter your body type or wedding venue. We look forward to seeing you!
