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!

Mira Zwillinger's 2014/2015 Collection Trunk Show and Notes on Personal Style

Next week is our Mira Zwillinger Trunk Show (September 5-6) and in preparation/to get you as excited as we are, we wanted to share these photos from her 2014 - 2015 collection. We love the bold and edgy unexpected choices for styling these very beautiful and feminine gowns; instead of seeing them in a traditional bridal style, we're seeing these chic and feminine gowns styled with a bit of edge. Replace the flowing locks with a short cropped hair cut and a bit of sly ink peeking out from under sheer overlays and swap the chandelier earrings for studs on the upper cartilage. The dresses themselves still feature styles that everyone loves and traditional, flattering cuts made of the most sumptuous fabrics you can imagine.

Designer Mira Zwillinger sites snowflakes as the inspiration for this collection, as no two dresses are exactly alike - remind of all of you. This photo shoot is a pleasant reminder of how a traditional gown can be styled to suit a bride's personal style.

Whether you decide to style one of these gowns, or whatever gown you pick, with a bit of your own flair and style you're sure to make it feel like it was made for you. Call and schedule your appointment now to come in and feel these Mira Zwillinger for yourself!

Monique Lhuillier Returns! Fall / Winter 2014 Trunk Show, March 21 & 22

If you were watching the "Today" show this morning, then you heard the big news! "Today" show anchor, Savannah Guthrie, announced her secret weekend wedding to longtime boyfriend, Mike Feldman, on live TV! The blushing bride, who also announced she's four months pregnant, shared a photo of her special day with millions of viewers, looking absolutely radiant in a lace Monique Lhuillier A-line belted gown.

Beloved by some of the biggest names in TV and film, Monique Lhuillier has been the go-to choice for many brides, including Reese Witherspoon, Giuliana Rancic, and Carrie Underwood. It's hard not to feel like a princess in a Monique Lhuillier gown, famed for her flattering silhouettes and creative use of lace accents.

The Monique Lhuillier Fall / Winter 2014 Collection, which Chic Parisien will preview during a March 21 - 22 Trunk Show, has something for every bride. Many of the gowns feature Chantilly lace and white or ivory silk organza. From simple to elaborate, the gowns come in varying lengths and colors, but all are absolutely stunning.

Even as we previewed the gowns ourselves, it was hard to pick just one that defined the entire collection. We find this incredibly exciting since preferences vary from bride to bride, and this diverse collection definitely answers the call when it comes to finding the perfect gown for each individual bride.

Previewing the gowns online simply won't do them justice, so we invite you to join us in store this Friday and Saturday for your first-hand look at the gorgeous Fall / Winter 2014 Collection! We look forward to seeing you!

Fall 2014 Bridal Preview: Step Into Marchesa's Secret Garden (March 14 & 15)

We've got a spring in our step, as we prepare to unveil Marchesa's Fall 2014 Bridal Collection during a two-day Trunk Show this weekend! On March 14 - 15, Chic brides will be invited to step into The Secret Garden - Marchesa's inspiration for its Fall 2014 Collection - to experience the magic and allure of these stunning gowns.

In describing this latest collection, the famed fashion house said:

Marchesa's Fall 2014 Bridal Collection draws inspirations from the allure of The Secret Garden. Exquisite handmade floral appliques cascade down flowing tulle skirts and fitted re-embroidered lace cocktails. Light, feminine silhouettes are draped in point d'esprit while dotted pearls accents illusion tulle creations

Hidden layers of chantilly and corded laces peek out from flowing skirts and crystals glisten atop delicate lace caplet sleeve gowns. Marchesa's Fall 2014 collection of signature silhouettes lends charm and romance to every bride."

We can't deny that Marchesa has mastered the art of illusion tulle. A Marchesa bride looks as though she is floating as she walks. The way the light dances with each lace detail and floral applique is absolutely breathtaking. With no detail overlooked, a Marchesa bridal gown enhances and flatters every silhouette. It's no wonder that the designer dresses some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend. Don't forget to schedule an appointment (details below), as spots fill up fast. For those unable to join us in-store this weekend, we invite you to follow us on Instagram as we chronicle 48 hours of Marchesa bridal heaven!
