Simply Put, Awe-Inspiring

The collection we received from Christina Garcia is incredible. Katey immediately wondered aloud how we would ever choose what to add to our permanent collection. Excellent question!! While it is always a challenge to narrow down our choices, this year is unique because we will hopefully have the input of many of you out there. I will post some pictures later today of the more than 140 pieces of truly heirloom quality jewelry, hair art and veils to entice you out into the cold!!

Update: I've added photos, but here's something I've learned: taking great jewelry pictures is really hard and, especially by me, yet to be achieved! So when the talents at Front Room just point their cameras and magic happens - it really is magic!

Christina Garcia - Sara Gabriel - Accessories Galore!!!

This weekend is the long anticipated Christina Garcia trunk show. Truth be told, the main purpose of the trunk show is for Laura and me to choose our stock pieces for 2008 since we were unable to view Christina's collection in New York. We are both excited by this unique opportunity to have your input when making our choices. Even if you have already made your accessory choices - jewelry, headpiece, veil - stop in and look at the collection and give us your opinion.

Some of you know that we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of designs from our newest designer, Sara Gabriel. Most of our order should be here on Friday!! We can't wait to show you her unique interpretation of bridal accessory art.

Between Christina Garcia and Sara Gabriel, Premiere Couture will have the most beautiful, hip and stylish accessory collection in Wisconsin. Come in and see for yourself if you have any doubts.

YAY!! They're here!!

UPS finally managed to get our Lynn Lugo trunk show dresses here! We get to keep them through this weekend so that those of you who wanted to see them will now have a chance.

Needless to say, the selection that we can offer for your viewing pleasure this week is phenomenal!! The photo below represent just a part of what we have and you can see the colors are amazing. No designer offers a color pallette as thorough as Lynn and once you see them you'll find yourself contemplating persimmon, celery or flame for your maids instead of flat, boring traditional colors. It is so much fun to see our brides' eyes widen when they see the colors and fabrics and realize they can make choices that reflect their true selves.

On another note, we were surprised to discover that Lynn has added a few more bridal designs and we really like them. They're all silk (of course) and made in the US (also of course) plus they're very affordable besides being beautiful. Think Hollywood glamour, sandy beaches or small intimate settings.

Looking for a fun challenge? We're hiring!

We are looking for a part time employee to start immediately. If you are interested, call us at 608-255-1921 or stop by during our normal business hours. We look forward to meeting you!!

It's a Matter of Good New/Bad News

Well, UPS failed to correct their error and we didn't receive the major portion of our Lynn Lugo trunk show designs. The good news is that once they get here - which should be Monday - we'll be able to hold onto them for an extra week. If you couldn't shop with us on this busy Thanksgiving weekend, then those lemons just became lemonade! Call us to set up your appointment!

Thanksgiving Greetings; Lynn Lugo Trunk Show Update and Previw

I hope everyone had a joyous Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and appreciation for this great nation in which we are so fortunate to live. I believe I can speak for both Laura and me in saying that we are grateful for God who gives meaning to our lives and our families and friends that fill them with love. We would also like to thank all of our customers, our new employee Katey and fellow professionals for enriching our lives at Premiere Couture.

Friday brings about our highly anticipated Lynn Lugo trunk show. While we hope UPS will deliver a box which contained about half (70) of the designs we expect (they failed to do so on Wednesday) the dresses we have already received are worth your visit. We snapped a few shots of some of the new arrivals to give you a preview but hope to have you join us to enjoy them personally.

Happy post-Thanksgiving shopping!!

Janet Nelson Kumar sneak peak

Janet just sent us a little sneak peak of 2008 and we think they are exquisite! I'll be posting some snapshots with the dresses on our very own Katey shortly!

Update: Here they are! (I do have photos from Janet that are better than mine, but I just think there's something to be said for seeing them in our environment. If you would like to see them, just let me know.)

Caroline DeVillo Fashion Show

I just wanted to post a sincere thank you to Caroline DeVillo, our models, Katey, Erin and Liz, The Ultimate Spa and Salon, specifically Donald, Melissa and Tammy, Creative Confections and A to Z Rental for their efforts on behalf of the fashion show on Thursday evening. You were all fantastic!!
