Best of 2009

Laura and I would like to thank all of the readers of Wisconsin Bride Magazine that voted Premiere Couture Best of 2009 in the accessory category! We truly love the details and we're so pleased that you've noticed. And speaking of details, we've just received new veils from Sara Gabriel that you'll love! Stop by and see our amazing accessory collection for yourself!

Movies of the Month: Princess Diaries

As you know, our Celebrate Cinema movie of the month is actually two movies: The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. Laura and I wanted April to be all about headpieces and veils and we couldn't think of better tiara movies than these! While Anne Hathaway sports some amazing sparkle in both movies, we know you're a bit more subdued so instead we offer fun, tasteful and elegant designs from Sara Gabriel and Christina Garcia.

Question of the week: What is your favorite movie with a great tiara, headpiece or veil? Post a comment with your answer and Laura and I will choose a winner of a $50 gift certificate toward the headpiece or veil of your choice.

Also, this month's special is the most valuable one yet! When you order your bridal gown during The Princess Diaries month you will receive a gift certificate worth 20% (10% for each movie!) toward your headpiece and/or veil! For example, if you order a Nicole Miller bridal gown for $595, you will receive a gift certificate for $119 toward your veil and/or headpiece. If you order a Premiere Couture gown for $1350 you'll receive a gift certificate for $270, an Amy Kuschel for $2900, you'll receive a gift certificate for $580 - I'm sure you get the picture and the picture is sweet! (In fact, I'm sure I heard a "Shut up!" out there.) It's the perfect time to order your gown and spoil yourself with amazing accessories for your hair but times up on April 30 so don't delay!

Sara Gabriel Slide Show

How could you not want to wear one of these designs? As promised, this video is a slide show highlighting Sara Gabriel's exquisite designs as modeled by Erin Nycz and seen by Neil and Calfa, two of the talented photographers at Front Room Photography. The photo shoot can be seen behind the scenes in the short video I posted here earlier.

Meet Sara this weekend! She will be arriving Thursday in the late afternoon and will be available all of Friday and Saturday for personal appointments.

Sara Gabriel....In Person!!

So it's Saturday evening and I am thinking back over the busy day and what a lot of fun and work it was and it just made me realize that I am really, truly excited about our next event. Hosting special events every weekend can get pretty exhausting, but next weekend is going to be such a treat that I'm already feeling energized because of it.

Sara Gabriel is going to be here February 8 and 9 to share her passion for fabulous fashion for brides in the form of exquisite headpieces, veils and jewelry. Just another designer, you think? Absolutely not. She is really incredible and I am certain that you will think so too. She's got moxy. And she has a gift for working with brides to help them realize dreams they didn't even know they had about how they want to look and, more importantly, feel on their wedding day. If you haven't made an appointment to complete your bridal ensemble with Sarah's personal attention, do it before there aren't any more openings. She wants to see you in your gown if possible (even if you didn't purchase it at Premiere Couture) so she can really put forth her best effort on your behalf - so bring it along! She will make you Love Your Veil.

New Designer for 2008 at Premiere Couture

Laura and I were so excited to see the collection of unique hair accessories and veils from Sara Gabriel that we both instantly knew she would be a perfect addition to our elite group of designers. Sara herself is so fresh and energetic - as are her designs - that she would make the perfect subject of her own reality show on cable. I've posted a couple of pics of her fixing some of her creations into Rachel's (one of Sara's cohorts) glorious red hair. Everything looks great in Rachel's hair! We should start receiving the new pieces in several weeks and we'll also be hosting a trunk show - possibly with Sara herself!
