New Arrivals...of all kinds

It's been so long since I've had a chance to update our blog! Thanks for your patience!

We have new arrivals galore! For starters, check out bridal designs from our new collection of particularly affordable and fashionable bridal gowns by Claudine for Alyce Designs. All of the gowns that we feature from this designer retail for under $1000!




Add to that a short and flirty little bubble hem bridal design in all silk from Lynn Lugo


and new spring fashions from Donna Ricco and you're on your way to shopping bliss!



And finally, for the most personally satisfying new arrival of them all, Timothy Jay decided to finally make his appearance on Friday, February 28! My thanks and gratitude go out to the best friend and business partner I could ever hope to have - thank you Laura - as she is making it possible for me to enjoy this exciting time in the life of my family.

Class projects

As Laura continues to pour her incredible depths of bridal knowledge and wisdom into our new employees, she had them create a "story" of their choosing with our bridal collection. We so liked what they came up with that we thought we'd share!

First, Meghan (at 4:58, 5:01, most beautifully at 8:24 and again at 12:16 in Captured Moment's slideshow), having been a very sophisticated bride herself chose a trio of dresses for the "anything but strapless" bride. There are actually a plethora of such choices here at Premiere but I liked the diversity that Meghan's choices represented. Flirty, airy romance from LeaAnn Belter; clever, sophisticated and surprisingly forgiving charmeuse - also from LeaAnn Belter, or straight up glamour and elegance from Janet Nelson Kumar.
Julia, our new "model" employee, being the consummate college student decided to look into the fashion available at Premiere for a the "my taste exceeds my budget" bride and again the choices are impressive. You'll recognize our newest arrival from Claudine for Alyce, Anjali, that comes in at an exceptional $375, the saucy Nicole Miller plunging v-neck at $590 and our newest and flirtiest Robert Bullock that comes in at just $650. And there's more here and more to come!


Since we love these "stories" we're going to consider this post to be continued....

New LeaAnn Belter, Alyce Bridal and more...

You may notice that our newest arrivals share a few key characteristics - they are all light as air, have flattering strapless sweetheart necklines, emphasize a narrow midriff and have full or flowing skirts.

LeaAnn Belter's Jemma is truly a gem with rich embellished Alencon lace on the empire bodice set atop an extremely flattering ruched midriff and a full but ever-so-light box pleated silk dupioni skirt.

LeaAnn's Alina will be visiting us just for a while but she'll be beautiful while she's here with her fashionable babydoll cut and ethereal layers of tulle.

Janet Nelson Kumar's Camelia, also on furlough here at Premiere Couture, is fresh and flattering with a ribbon and hand-beaded applique accenting the curve of the empire bodice. The impossibly full skirt is achieved without pleats or gathers and thus remains incredibly flattering from hip to toe.

Anjali by Claudine for Alyce Bridal is sweet, informal gown in chiffon with a ruched bodice and flowing skirt. The flower pin at the empire waist is yours for the choosing - take it or leave it or maybe put it in your hair. And you won't believe this - she's only $375!

The selection within in our bridal collection is increasingly amazing and need to get in here and try them for yourself!

Claudine for Alyce Designs

We have received the first two dresses of our new collection of highly affordable - all under $1000! - but still adorable bridal gowns from Claudine for Alyce Designs. Thank you to Julia for being our model!

Lea Ann Belter trunk show

We have a wonderful Lea Ann Belter trunk show this weekend, as you may well know, and her 2010 collection is spectacular! One of our favorite models/brides and her sister Alexis stopped by and let us play dress up for a bit so we could show you a few new things, including this stunningly beaded gown by Lea Ann. Thank you, Erin and Alexis!



A few other things that Erin, along with her sister Alexis tried on for us were some of our fantastic holiday/party dresses and an Alyce bridal design.

Sneak a peek at new line of bridal gowns

Laura and I have decided to add a new line of bridal gowns from an old favorite designer of ours, Alyce Designs. Just launched, Claudine Bridal by Alyce encompasses fashions that so many of you are looking for at truly amazing prices - under $1000! They sent eight beautiful designs to us for just the weekend so that we could make certain that they were everything we thought they would be - and they are - and so that we could get a little immediate feedback from you - so far an A+ in that regard. Stop by on Saturday for your own sneak peek!
