What Will Kate Wear | White Couture

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I was a big fan of Princess Di and now it looks like I think Kate is just as wonderful! As soon as I saw her in the perfect cage hat and veil I knew she would be a hit. So recently brides.com asked a group of designers to design a gown they think the next Princess should wear. Reem Acra and Amsale were among the best and rumor has it she is considering one of the two. So who will it be? You decide. Here are the sketches provided by two designers currently available at White Couture. What do you think?

Reem Acra

This ivory silk gazar A-line gown with a square neckline and long sleeves would feature French Alençon lace accents at the wrists, veil, and tiers of the gown. “The simple elegance of the gown reflects her personal style,” says the designer. “I used French Alençon lace accents to honor the traditional styles worn by previous royal brides, to whom Kate will undoubtedly be compared.” To view more gowns by Reem Acra, click here.

Amsale

The designer, known for her modern interpretions of traditional bridal fashion, would dress Kate in this subtly beaded Alençon lace gown that features cap sleeves, a romantic, ballerina neckline, and a cathedral length train. “The gown is reflective of Kate’s young, fresh style with a nod to tradition,” says Amsale. “The silhouette is elegant and refined, and the fabric is all about texture—corded lace, soft beading, and detailed thread work.” To view more gowns by Amsale, click here.

What is a Trunk Show? | White Couture Designer Bridal & Tuxedos

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

WHAT IS A TRUNK SHOW?

A trunk show is a special event, hosted by at White Couture, which features one designer. At our trunk shows, you will have the opportunity to view the designer’s entire collection, as well as preview the new collection that may not yet be in stores! The gowns are sent directly from the designer to us so we may display the gowns for one weekend.

A representative from the designer’s studio is usually present to consult with us and our brides and style your wedding day look. The representative works closely with us in her studio in New York and can help customize your gown to create a one of a kind look. These representatives are experts in fabric, fit and construction and can answer any questions about the gowns or the process on the spot.

White Couture always offers you a special promotion during a trunk show weekend. Typically you can count on 10% savings or a complimentary gift with purchase. Join us for our trunk shows and take advantage of these opportunities. For a list of upcoming events, visit our website. We look forward to assisting you!

Typical FAQ’s:

Do I need to make an appointment?

It is best to make an appointment to ensure that enough time with a consultant and representative is blocked out just for you.

Can I bring someone with me?

Of course! It’s a good idea to bring someone with you to help you choose your gown. Bring someone whose opinion you trust, and who can be supportive and helpful in your gown search. Since the trunk show usually only runs for 2 days, it is important that you bring whomever you need to bring to make your decision once you find your dream gown at White Couture.

Try to avoid bringing too many people. Shopping for a wedding gown can be an emotional and overwhelming process, and too many opinions can sometimes confuse you. If you want your bridal party or other friends to view your gown, or be a part of the process, consider bringing them to one of your fittings.

How is a trunk show appointment different than a regular appointment?

A trunk show appointment allows you to view the entire collection available from the designer. A trunk show is a great time to work closely with the designer representative to style your wedding day look, since they are experts in wedding styling and can suggest custom changes to perfect your gown for you.

A trunk show appointment is different than a regular appointment in that the gowns are only there for one weekend, so it is a great time to find and finalize your perfect gown!

Summer Wedding Celebration

The team at Soirée Productions is so excited to tell you one of our favorite weddings will be featured in Inside Weddings Magazine. This wedding had great detail and was fun from beginning to end. The save the dates were vintage postcards of the bride and groom created by Nine Grain Design. We created a logo that would be carried out throughout the entire wedding. The welcome celebration kicked off the weekend with a BBQ at Silver Lake Lodge in Deer Valley, while the wedding nuptials were celebrated at Empire Canyon Lodge. The evening began to look like it might rain on our parade but then suddenly the sun came out and shined upon all of the guests. The bride and groom were married under the Chuppah and as they recessed down the aisle guests sprinkled lavendar to wish them well. Following the ceremony guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck. Everyone danced the night away to music provided by the Salamander Band. The room was filled with long rectangular tables for 8-16 guests while floral topped each table with a variety of arrangements. We worked with Val Rasmussen of StellaPosy to finish each table top perfectly. Each place setting highlighted square chargers and china we found at Diamond Rental. Sarah Drown of Sparkle Photography captured the day and tells the story with her photographs. Our team at White Couture helped the bridesmaids to select their perfect Vera Wang dress all in the purple and navy hues. Each bridesmaid selected the style that worked best for her and with a variety of styles it was easy to do. The evening concluded with a midnight snack for guests to enjoy on their ride home-the sliders and french fries were a big hit! Everything about this wedding came together perfectly. We chose to submit it to share nationally because our planners felt this wedding showed what you can do while still keeping your budget within reason. Not a detail was left out and mom and dad were pleased with the budget! Thank you for allowing Soirée Productions to assist you in planning the perfect celebration!
