A Sweet Note From A Very Chic Bride
It truly warms our heart to hear from our brides after their wedding day - and it's made all the better when accompanied by photos of their big day!
We get to experience such a special time of your life with you, but it's seeing the dress come to life on your wedding day, as you say "I Do" and start a new life with your true love that makes it all complete.
When we received this note about Alana, our stylist, from a very chic bride we knew we had to share it with you!
Hi Alana,
I don't have words to express how happy I was on my Wedding Day! Celebrating our love with our Friends and Family was certainly a dream come true.
I want to thank the entire CP staff, but especially I want to thank YOU. Picking a wedding dress could be stressful, but your charisms, sincerity, and patient made my experience a completely seamless process. Also, I wanted to express my gratitude to the Alteration team for making possible every single request I made. The dress was a total Success: head-turning, a showstopper and so so comfortable, that I was able to dance nonstop till 4 am! It is without a doubt my all time fav DRESS!
I want to share some pictures with you, I hope you enjoyed them!
Thank you once again, I will never forget you!
Sincerely,
Jimena

From New York Bridal Fashion Week to Chic Parisien: Ines Di Santo's Newest Collection Debuts
It was just last week that we saw Ines Di Santo's latest collection in New York City against a stunning historical backdrop on Bryant Park. Just a week later the dresses are in store at Chic Parisien, making their first trunk show appearance at our boutique in Coral Gables, Florida.
Make your appointment now and you'll be amongst the first brides in the world to try on this brand new collection.
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!

Make your appointment now and see this chic collection for yourself - this weekend only.
Our Newest Chic Designer: Valentini by J'Aton
Valentini by J'Aton is the latest addition to the Chic Parisien designer family. We picked up this collection after being wowed by the exquisite attention to detail, the perfect fabric choices and delicate touches to these modern gowns with a classic feel.
The collection spans silhouettes and styles. There is a chic gown for every kind of bride in this special collection. Above are some of the many dresses that are in store this weekend only (right in time for post-Valentine's Day proposals!). Of course, you can always shop our selection of Valentini by J'Aton gowns all year around but this is your only chance to see this expansive selection of chic gowns.
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.
Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez Wed In Chic Parisien Gown
Stefania Fernandez, Miss Universe 2009, was married in Cartagena, Colombia wearing Ines Di Santo. The Venezuelan beauty married Bernardo Asuaje in a dress by a Venezuelan designer and then changed into this gown that she found at Chic Parisien.

More Dresses, In More Sizes
We've been listening to our bride's feedback and have started ordering sample gowns in more sizes. We now carry a new collection of dresses, from a variety of designers, in more sizes.
Let us take a step back and explain; at Chic Parisien, as is the industry standard at high-end bridal boutiques, you find your dream dress using our in-store samples. Then, we take your measurements and place your order with our chic designers. Our designers create your custom gown, made-to-measure so that it fits you perfectly, but samples, traditionally, come in similar sizes to how the gowns are shown on the designer runway.
While offering sample sizing allows some brides to try on gowns in the boutique, others use the gowns as an example of fabric, look and feel and then place a bespoke order. Now at Chic Parisien, more brides can experience the fit of their gown before placing an order for their custom gown. We know that our beautiful brides come in all shapes and sizes and we want every bride's experience to be as special as possible.
We are thrilled to showcase in this gallery just a small sampling of the dresses we now have available in store in sizes beyond the runway sample size. Make an appointment now to see the rest of this chic collection!
The Chic Veils of Peter Langner
Peter Langner's veils have long been a favorite at Chic Parisien. The exquisite Italian craftsmanship paired with the trained sartorial eye of designer Peter Langner make them a perfect compliment to dresses of any designer. We particularly adore how light they are while still being elegant.
Below is a photo of Peter, all the way from Italy, at the boutique as he walked our stylists through his latest collection and all-time great gowns and veils:
A Chic Erin Cole Statement Dress
We're sad to see the Erin Cole collection, along with our friend, the very talented Erin Cole leave after this past weekend's trunk show. How stunning is this statement dress from the California-cool bridal designer?
The Perfect Pair: Maria Elena and Berta
Maria Elena Headpieces and Berta make for the perfect pair at a recent photo shoot that took place at Chic Parisien to highlight the latest from the Maria Elena Accessories 2018 Collection. We could go on and on about the reasons why we love Maria Elena's chic designs, starting with how the bring light and elegance to our brides faces on their wedding day, perfectly complementing their wedding gown and natural beauty and ending with the fact that she's a local designer and all her headpieces, earrings, tiaras, and accessories are made right here in Miami. We'll cut it short though so that you can get to what you came here for, the stunning images by Vanessa Velez Photography.
Jennifer Behr, From the Red Carpet To Chic Parisien
Celebrity favorite Jennifer Behr has been seen on the likes of Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lawrence, Elle Fanning, Natalie Portman, Rihanna and so many more. Now, you can be chic like the A-list and don a Jennifer Behr accessory for your wedding - or special occasion!
Chic Parisien is now carrying the very chic Jennifer Behr. Each and every piece is made in Brooklyn, by hand. Jennifer Behr's delicate and stylish pieces are the perfect way to add that final touch to your wedding dress.
Make an accessories appointment now, or feel free to walk in, and shop our new arrivals from Jennifer Behr!
Behind The Scene's At Berta's S/S 2018 Runway Show
We were backstage with Berta Bridal along with photographer Ray Santana to capture the exciting moments and final touches right before this runway show at the famed Plaza Hotel.
Berta, as you might know, is available here at Chic Parisien. The signature Berta look is defined by couture-quality. If you're looking at a Berta dress, you know it. They're sexy, elegant and truly chic.
The Spring / Summer 2018 collection was no exception. The palette skewed a bit more towards white and ivories than previous collections and we saw detailed lacework and stunning fabrics replace jewels and stones as the stand-out detail. One thing that we didn't see change? The plummeting v-neck is still very much in.
Dress Feature: Monique Lhuillier's Chantal
Monique Lhuillier strikes the perfect balance with the Chantal dress. We love the mix of classic lines, including the beautiful drop waist, airy skirt and the athletic and modern cut-out back, a fresh, bridal take on the racerback dress. With summer right around the corner, it's the perfect time to come in and try on this dress and others from the Fall 2017 collection.
