An Ines Di Santo Bride To Remember
Get ready for this because it’s an all time unbeatable combination - a super chic bride, Morgan Prevatt Molinari, who is stunningly beautiful, The Breakers Palm Beach, one of Florida’s most iconic venues, and an Ines Di Santo wedding dress that just couldn’t look any more jaw-dropping. Regal, elegant and just the right amount of over-the-top, this wedding is one for the books (or, the blog!).
This gown, the Sylvie, is one of our new all time favorite Ines Di Santo gowns, it’s not hard to see why. The grand ballgown and dreamy train are absolute statement makers.
#realchicbride in Motion at Vizcaya and the Mandarin Oriental
We love when a beautiful wedding video crosses our path! So much of why a bride connects with her dress is because of the way it moves on her body. Getting to watch the dress move and dance on the wedding day is such a treat - it’s a peek into the real day that we don’t get with photography.
This video takes place at Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, two of our very favorite places in Miami (you may recognize the Mandarin Oriental from our photos over on The Beach Bride!).

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.

Chic Ambassador: Caro Pozo
Caro Pozo is a local actress (soon to be an international superstar, we just know it), a creative and a future #realchicbride! We’re proud to announce that she’s also our newest Chic Ambassador.
This bright personality and gorgeous girl came to play a bit of dress up with us during last week’s Berta Trunk Show. She was the perfect model for this ultra-chic collection from Berta featuring sexy shapes and silhouettes alongside textured, detailed dresses, always with the very best handcrafted work and fabrics.
Caro, because she’s a doll like that, thought you al might benefit from a bit about her wedding dress shopping experience and tips. Not only does she walk you through her own personal process, but in coming back and hanging out with us a bit more she’s picked up some pretty great ideas about how to make the most of your experience!
Read Caro’s blog post here on her blog Blonde2Brunette. Follow her on Instagram here @blonde2brunette or here @caropozo. And follow along with her creative activities at @thesugarcottage_.

Are You Dreaming of a White Winter? (Perhaps in Reem Acra?)
We can’t resist the opportunity to collaborate with our talented bridal comminutu and what better time of year than around the holidays, a time so full of love and gratitude, to work with some new talent?
We’ve seen Christian Arevalo’s photos flooding our feeds for the past few years. It was obvious that our brides love this style, so we thought, why not reach out and some up with a fabulous way to highlight our newest gowns by Reem Acra (we threw in a few Monique Lhuillier’s too because Christian said they’re a favorite of his brides - exhibit A ).
With the help of Elvi of Style Me Elvi and Sara of Rose Coloured Floral, headpieces by Maria Elena Accessories (all of which we have in stock at Chic Parisien) and brand new gowns by the always stylish Reem Acra, we had the perfect team to put this romantic shoot together.

Just weeks after the dramatic unveiling of Ines Di Santo’s latest collection on the runway in New York City, the full collection is coming to Chic Parisien.
This epic collection marks the 20th anniversary of the Ines Di Santo brand and she certainly celebrated in style (stay posted for an upcoming look into the grand entrance she made at the Baccarat boutique!).
The collection celebrates all that is Ines Di Santo - lux fabrics, couture cuts and dramatic silhouettes.

Enjoy Our Miami Tunes Playlist
We put together this playlist for our recent party and thought we’d share so that whether you’re in Miami or away you can get in the spirit of the Berta Miami Collection!
A Chic Miami-Themed Soiree for the Berta Miami Collection
Berta Miami Collection comes to Chic Parisien - and we celebrated with a party in chic Miami style!
We were thrilled to welcome some of the Miami bridal industry’s brightest stars to Chic Parisien for a celebration of the Berta Miami Collection. From stationary artists to photographers, planners and bakers, we toasted with fruity mojitos by Craft Cartel to this chic new collection inspired by our hometown.
Vanity Projects was set up to transform our nails with Berta-inspired nail art - our guests could pick from rhinestone designs pulled from the motif of our favorite gowns from the collection, an art deco print or a palm frond! Everyone left with a bit more sparkle than a basic mani!
Veronica from Anthology transformed the space into a tropical oasis - we loved it so much that we kept it up through the weekend. Brides who had scheduled trunk show appointments to shop the collection were in for a tropical treat when they walked in!
The whole store was glowing under the pink light of our new neon sign! We can’t wait to see all the photos our smiling brides are going to take underneath it.
A very special thank you to Enuel Viera who snapped these photos for us and captured the magic of the evening! It was a night of Cuban food from Versailles (what could be more Miami?!), great conversation, amazing connections and chic tropical tunes!
Berta Miami x Chic Parisien Preview
When Berta has names their newest collection after your city - you throw a party! Any excuse for a party, right?
It was with great pleasure that we welcomed the newest collection by Berta, Berta Miami, to Chic Parisien. We invited industry friends, including many who we've long known on Instagram but hadn't had the pleasure to meet in person, for a night at the boutique showcasing the Berta gowns and unveiling our new photo wall! We're still swooning over the addition of this floral wall and our new XoXo, Chic Parisien neon sign.
Make your appointment now to shop with us and take your photo in front of the sign when you say yes to the dress!

Real Bride Renata in Berta
"Dreams do come true!" posted Renata, who was married in Quito, Ecuador, and we knew we had to feature this enthusiastic bride on our blog.
Our international brides are an important part of our Chic Parisien family. We love to see how our gowns get to travel to new homes in countries near and far. We play our part in your wedding, assisting you in finding and styling the wedding dress of your dreams, and then we see it go off with our happy fiancee and wait patiently for the photos to come in. Then, we get to see our bride on her big day and explore the other vendors who did their part in the brides' super team!
These pictures just looked so alive and full of happiness - and Renata's Berta dress perfectly complemented that radiating chicness!

Ines Di Santo Spring 2018
Ines Di Santo, the very chic, world-famous bridal designer will be at Chic Parisien this weekend and we can't wait! While we count down to her arrival these stunning new images from her Spring 2018 Collection lookbook will have to hold us over.
What perfect timing for a snowed-in styled lookbook. Down here in Miami, we're back in bikinis and resort wear while the rest of the country is bundled up in coats and scarves. This touch of ice is just the cooldown we need this winter.
If you need to finish off your look with the perfect ice, Maria Elena Accessories' Fashion Director Gisele Del Busto will be in the store alongside Ines Di Santo to top of your look with the perfect shiny bridal accessories. Complete your wedding look this weekend with the help of the very best and chicest in the industry!
Ines Di Santo Spring 2018 at Chic Parisien
Ines Di Santo's latest show left us jaw dropped. The Chic Parisien team sat in a concert hall with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Central Park and an orchestra played as an elaborate show of glittery, ornate dresses walked down the runway. You can imagine how excited we were when these dresses first visited Chic Parisien - and now they're back! And, the real icing on the cake, Ines Di Santo is coming with them.
We've decided to start the Ines Di Santo trunk show a bit early and extend this chic event through two weeks, culminating in a visit to the boutique by the legendary bridal designer herself.
Make your appointment now, space is limited.
Chic Favorites From Ines Di Santo's Latest Collection
The most recent Ines Di Santo collection featured a chic selection of silhouettes, details, and fabrics - but for us, it was the return of the classic ball gown that had us swooning.
We can't help but picture our future #realchicbrides in each and every new dress that she sent down the runway at Jazz at Lincoln Center, with a live orchestra scoring the background and the dramatic backdrop of New York City's Central Park peeking through the floor to ceiling windows. But it's when we get up close and personal with the dresses the next day at our appointment with the Ines Di Santo team that we really get to see the detail and chic craftsmanship that goes into each look.
Below is a selection of a few of our favorites from her latest collection.
Stay posted for details on an upcoming trunk show where you'll be able to try on these dresses and see them and touch them for yourself.
