Lynn Lugo Trunk Show!!

We've received our Lynn Lugo trunk show and as always, they do no disappoint. Join us this weekend as we say farewell to "27 Dresses" Month - this is the last week to save an extra $20 on your bridesmaid dresses.

And speaking of "27 Dresses" our last question: In the movie, Jane's favorite part of a wedding ceremony was when the groom caught sight of his bride for the first time. When everyone turns to look at the bride, she prefers to look at the groom. What is your favorite part of the wedding ceremony and why?

Small town charm

Laura and I are two small town girls; both born and raised and now living in Edgerton. In fact, one reason we love our Monroe Street location is because even though it is in the midst of a much larger city than our home town, it has the feel of a tight knit community. We thoroughly enjoy working in the rich and varied culture of Madison and equally appreciate the simple charm of small town living. Many mini meccas such as ours have little known claims to fame and Edgerton is no exception. One of them is that it is a childhood home of Sterling North, author of the children's classic "Rascal." The Sterling North Society, in an effort to fund the upkeep of his childhood home, hosts the Sterling North Society Talent Show each year, this year being the eighteenth. The talent show offers just what you would expect of such a show and yet much more. It was truly two and half hours well spent. Of course, I admit a bit of a bias as three of the twenty acts were family. So I offer to you those three acts. First, Manifold, a young band comprised of my two eldest sons, two of my nephews and two of their good friends. Second is my perpetually entertaining father, Jim Hodges, aka Tennessee Jim, and the third is my very talented nephew, David Flood, of whom I have posted previous performances. I hope you enjoy!

Movie of the Month: 27 Dresses

It's time again to Celebrate Cinema! This month's movie "27 Dresses" is a celebration of marriage with a little bad fashion thrown in. We love Jane's unwavering belief that marriage is beautiful and can endure. And we admire her devotion to her friends and their dreams as she quietly helps them in any way she is able - including wearing what best reflects the bride - never even entertaining the idea that she should have any say in their day.

As we toast Jane's loyalty to her ideals and her friends, we are offering $20 off bridesmaid dresses ordered in February. If you are a Premiere Couture bride, the $20 savings is in addition to the 10% Lifetime Loyalty Savings.

And here's to proving that there are stylish and tasteful bridesmaid dresses out there for those selfless and loyal bridesmaids.

Question of the week: Which dress would your deem the most "awesomely bad" of the 27 that Katherine Heigl's Jane had to wear in the movie and why?

Responses need to be in by Friday, February 13. Laura and I will choose our favorite answer and the winner will receive a mystery prize!

We will celebrate the close of this month's movie by hosting a Lynn Lugo trunk show. You'll have the opportunity to see the finest collection of all silk, customizable bridesmaid dresses made in the United States. Make your appointment today!

Sweet Mathia

Sophisticated folds of expertly draped silk dupioni wrap around "Mathia" by Lea-Ann Belter, our newest arrival, to create an unmistakably flattering silhouette. And like a best friend, she doesn't take herself too seriously. Long, wide sashes make a fetchingly feminine bow that lies over the pleated mermaid skirt. Both cut for unsurpassed fit and light as air, "Mathia" strikes perfect balance.
