Say My Name, Say My Name: New Bridal Party Necklaces at The Beach Bride
You may have heard us taking about The Beach Bride, our newest project, on our Instagram, but if you' haven’t - let us take a second to fill you in and then show off a new arrival that we love!
The Beach Bride is our new online store - also available to shop from inside Chic Parisien’s boutique.

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_.

You Don't Want To Miss This....
Lyra by Ines Di Santo featuring Kendall Huibregtse at Chic Parisien.
This Ines Di Santo collection was one of our favorites in recent memory. It’s hard for us to admit, with all this gorgeousness, that yes, we sometimes play favorites but this collection was so stunning, so chic, so perfectly designed that yes, we can admit of our preference for it.
The dress that truly kicked off our obsession is featured first in this slideshow, it’s the Lyra dress by Ines Di Santo. We want to share a little secret with you: After we styled this photo featuring our very own Kendall Huibregtse, with the off-the-shoulder sleeves, the team at Ines decided to offer the dress with this style as an option!
Shop this dress and the full collection at this week’s trunk show - going on now! And this weekend, we will have Creative Director of Maria Elena Accessories Gisele Del Busto in store to style brides with their perfect accessories!

Chic Parisien
Introducing Our First Chic Ambassador
Launching the Chic Ambassador program, where we invite some of Miami’s chicest influencers into Chic Parisien to snap some photos, learn a bit about bridal and play dress-up at our Coral Gables bridal boutique.
It’s every girl’s dream to play dress up in couture. We thought we’d play a bit of fairy godmother and invite in some of Miami’s stylish influencers to the boutique. Introducing, the Chic Parisien Ambassador program.
First up, Brittany De Paz! You can find her over on the gram at @brittanydepaz where she posts pictures of her personal style, beauty favs, stylish home space, and Miami events and places.
Brittany focused on gowns that express her style and the Chic Parisien team took her through our designers and pulled a selection of different shapes and styles for her to try. Together, we think we might have found the one - when that time comes around, she’ll be ready! #XoxoChicParisien

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.

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!
