Whew....what a weekend! Recovering from our fashion show at the Marriott. Let me just say that putting together a show like this involves so many people. I am thinking it's like planning a wedding. Like a wedding, there are so many details that go into a fashion show that something is bound to not go exactly like planned. However, most of the time and "bumps" in road are only noticed by you. You have to be resilient....get up, brush yourself off and keep going.
In the end, regardless of any minor mistakes....I still absolutely love creating these shows. And for you brides.....even if not all goes as planned with your wedding details, you still marry your loved one. This all leads me to some inspiration for our next show in February at the Grand Wayne Center.....all you need is love!!! See you there!!!

Lis Simon Bridal

We are so excited to be bringing in a couple of new lines that we saw at market.

One designer Anna for Lis Simon is extremely talented. In the line we feel her gowns are celebrating the happy side of femininity with draping, silk, and frothy fan pleating with some pretty gorgeous results. We plan to have an early preview of the line in November so stay tuned!!!!

The other line we will be carrying is Robin Jillian. These gowns are designed for the upscale bride seeking unique fashion forward styling. This is a line that is exclusive to our store. I feel our brides will love the European influence of these gowns and their individuality.

Oh girls, these gowns are gorgeous and I can't wait to help you find your perfect dress!

Vida la vida Chicago!

We just returned from our buying trip in Chicago and I cannot begin to tell you how much fun we had!

Jasmine is celebrating their 25th Anniversary and was so kind to treat their accounts to a dinner cruise on the Spirit of Chicago. Great food, great drinks and most of all great company!!!

Two are better than one!

This is the beautiful newly wed Mrs. Damer who also just happens to be my sister! She also just happens to be wearing a gown and accessories from The Perfect Dress! How could she go wrong?

The wedding was at the Sanibel Resort in Florida where I had the pleasure of seeing another Perfect Dress bride that was married two days earlier. Congratulations, Mandy and Melissa!

The "Paper Dress" Contest

The "Paper Dress" Contest The Perfect Dress hosted the first annual "Paper Dress" contest in conjunction with the Newspaper in Education Department of Fort Wayne Newspapers. Every one of these gowns were made from newspaper and each dress withstood the test of wearabilty as each gown was modeled during the Concordia Prom show. The creativity was endless!

Concordia Prom Show

I "Heart" prom season!!!! The colors are vibrant and the styles are unique. No way you can come into the store and not have one of these beauties call your name.

This year we had the opportunity to showcase our exclusive gowns at the Concordia prom show. Watching this fashion show you would think that these gals have been doing this for years!
