The Joy Dream Wedding Show


The Perfect Dress was honored to be selected to host the fashion show for The Joy Dream Wedding Show held at the Fort Wayne Marriott on Sunday, November 16th. What a great day! We got to meet and talk with a lot of new brides about their upcoming weddings which is always a pleasure.

During the fashion show we featured 74 gowns within a half hour. Whew!
The show definitely could not been pulled off without the generosity of time and commitment to the show on behalf of our beautiful models and dressers.
This was a top notch show hosted in style by the Marriott and we can't wait to participate next year!

It's My Turn!


I always say that once you get through all of your proms and marriage there is not as many opportunities to really get glamed up. Each year I fall in love with so many gowns with absolutely no reason to wear them. However, with our invitation to the Debi awards from one of our fabulous designers Justin Alexander, we did just that. Julie is wearing a black taffeta gown by La Femme and I am wearing a black stretch satin gown by Nicole Miller. The event took place at the Field Museum in Chicago and it seemed at any moment Sue (the largest most complete tyrannosaurus ever found) was going to hop down from her post and join in the dancing. Dinner, dancing, and dinosaur what could go wrong?

Awesome shopping experience in ATLANTA

We spent 7 exhausting/exhilirating days at the Americasmart in Atlanta shopping for prom. We arrived on Monday and by Thursday we had already viewed over 5000 prom gowns!!! How to choose, how to choose!?








It still amazes me that downtown Atlanta is a ghost town after 5 pm. So we were forced to find ways to entertain ourselves. Here we made some quick friends while out for dinner!











Julie and I take a break from our shopping to chat with Johnathan Kayne from season three - Project Runway.






Prom gowns for 2009 are going to be exciting! Expect to see fit and flare skirts, netted overlays, bold prints and sparkle, sparkle, sparkle. Bring it on!

We've been "MEGged"

I fell in love with Meg from the moment I met her. It is her ability to create beautifully unique jewelry that inspires brides to venture beyond the "traditional" rhinestone jewelry while remaining true to themselves. We had the opportunity to host a MEG trunk show in April which gave many "Perfect Dress" brides the chance to work one-on-one with Meg. What an experience! During Meg's visit I learned that Rod, Meg's husband and I share a birthday! And that Meg is a fellow Salsera! I believe that Meg is the closest I will come to ever meeting a real live muse.
