A Sweet Thank-You!

Each time we receive a sweet thank-you in the mail like the one above, we are reminded of how each bride is special and unique in their own way. We are thankful to serve them during their wedding experience and what a fun time it was with Mrs. Yates! Stacy found her gown during an appointment here at Meg Guess Couture, and Meg made her gown the gown of her dreams with custom touches here and there. Stacy was so fun to work with and had multiple appointments and fittings to get the last touches just right for her perfect day. As you can see from the photos above Stacy was a beautiful bride and enjoyed every moment the wedding experience had to offer her. We wish the Yates a blessed New Year ahead as a married couple, BEST WISHES from the Meg Guess Couture Team!

We're still talking about the beautiful collections we saw in New York from October's Market trip. Some of our favorite designers came up with the most creative twists on simple silhouettes.The excitement grows weekly as we receive new gown shipments! Just a few weeks after Market passed, writer, Scott French, for the Fashion List did a piece on one of our favorite designers, Amy Kuschel! Here is a glance at what he had to say....

Sunday October 17, 2010
The Jumeirah Essex House

San Francisco based design house Amy Kuschel showed an absolutely beautiful collection for Fall 2011 that for the most part is an updated assortment of her best sellers from previous seasons with a few totally new “ladies” (this designer personified all of her dresses) for good measure. We viewed the collection with one of her key retailers, so it was fascinating listening to the commentary of the retailer who was understandably more interested in the practical aspects of the “ladies” – how can she be hemmed, how does she fit a more full figured bride, etc – than merely the fashion impact that we normally are drawn to. Most of Ms. Kuschel’s dresses are also cut in sizes ranging from 0 to 26 & can be customized prior to delivery to eliminate a great deal of the costly tailoring that many brides encounter. The highlights of the season in my humble opinion were “Belden” with her gently draped bustier bodice & multiple pick-ups to create some skirt interest & “Eureka” with her simple bustier bodice, full tulle skirt & a delicate jewel encrusted belt that could be one of the most beautiful dresses seen this entire season, while all the while being understated to the point of being overlooked by the less sophisticated bride. With creations like these, it’s only a matter of time until Ms. Kuschel needs to take over even more space in her Union Square building. This bridal atelier is seriously going places.

"Wedding Bliss"

Princess for a day...gown of your dreams...extravagant design and attention to detail...just some of the ways to describe the luxury of a Lusan wedding gown! The fabulous photos below were taken and displayed in some of todays top bridal magazines. One writer for StarTwo stated, "impeccable detailing ensures Lusan Mandongus brides look sensational on their wedding day!". Our bridal stylists here at MGC are so thrilled by the Lusan Mandongus gowns that we have sampled in the store, and we could not be more excited about the new arrivals that shipped in just this week! If you're a bride looking for the perfect wedding gown, make sure to make an appointment to come try these gowns on for yourself.

Shop Girl Shops At MGC!

Here at MGC we make a point to get to know each bride that comes into our store, regardless where she ends up finding her dream gown! We have been so fortunate to have some of the sweetest brides in the last year and it is so fun to hear all of the different engagement stories. Recently one of our brides happen to bring along a friend to give advice on her gown selection. The friend ended up writing a piece on the appointment for the Gazette! Below is the clip out from the Gazette and it displays Meg, the owner of the boutique, along with some of our wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. The article focuses on different bridal boutiques in the area and the fun experience, or the EVENT, of finding THE wedding gown! We hope this article gives a little prospective for brides that are searching out the place to find the gown they will be married in. One of our favorite quotes from Shop Girl was in this article, "A wedding dress will most likely be the prettiest thing you'll ever wear." So very true, wedding gowns are pretty and we have many to choose from. The key is finding the perfect gown that the bride feels the most beautiful in and our bridal stylist at Meg Guess Couture would love to assist you in this search!

One Fabulous PhotoShoot

What a fun photo-shoot we had a few weeks ago! Not only was the setting beautiful, and the staff wonderful to work with, but we were able to shoot some images with these HUGE Clydesdale horses! Too much fun. Our model, Alex Harris, could not have been a better fit for this shoot, and the entire team that evening meshed well and accomplished so much. Alex featured a Lusan gown that is made of tulle and is truly breathtaking! Our photographer for the shoot was Reseth Oberg with Reseth Photography! She is a blast to work with and could not have done a better job of capturing the look we were going for! Reseth brought a great assistant along, Justin Voight, that also snapped some great shots and contributed to the whole photo shoot. If any brides are looking for a great place for a wedding or a reception the staff and facility at Express Clydesdales are amazing! You will truly be pleased with all they have to offer, check their website out and be sure to go visit the beautiful Clydesdale horses they have! We cannot wait to get back all of the great images that were captured that evening and put them into work for advertisement in the new year ahead!

These amazing designer dresses wont last long...

Sneak Peek: Jim Hjelm

This season’s big trend was texture, texture, and more texture. We’re glad to hear that Jim Hjelm designer Francesca Pitera is keeping this great look going forward into next season’s phenomenal gowns. Inspired to bring out the beautiful form of the female figure, Pitera will be using soft layers, ruffles, and flowers to accent her new gowns. Pictured above is a sneak peek of the newest collection by Pitera. With a dramatic pleated halter neckline, natural waist details and side pockets, we can’t wait to get this collection into our studio!

Sneak Peek: Amy Kuschel

As if there weren’t already enough reasons to love Amy Kuschel, here’s one more. This season the designer will be offering what she calls “choose your level of luxury” which includes 25 gowns, offered in a variety of fabrications. From less expensive alternatives to some of Kuschel’s most luxurious fabrications, you have the option to choose the dress that best fits your style and budget.

“I found myself obsessing over the artsy bohemian influences, the art of Japanese paper folding, the charming post-war fashions of the 50’s, and the lure of Zen-like simplicity and calm,” says Kuschel of this season’s inspirations. Pictured here is a sneak peak of a gown from her newest collection. Elegantly draped fabric and a modern interpretation of a dropped waist give this gown a beautiful, sweet simplicity. Of course we don’t have this gown in our studio yet, but we have many other brand new Amy Kuschel dresses that we would love to show you. Book your appointment to try on one of her gowns – once you see how amazing they look, you’ll understand why we love her so much!

Fabulous Filippa Scott Shoes!

So you have your dress, you have your veil, and you have your jewelry. Now what about those shoes? We’ve received our fun and flirty 2010 collection from Filippa Scott and our brides love them. Each shoe in the collection is made from the finest natural materials - silk and leather - and can be dyed to the color of your choosing. Having a little pop of color is a big trend right now, so perhaps you’ll want to dye them a gorgeous shade of royal blue for your “something blue,” fuchsia for that pop of girly glamour, or a color that matches your bridesmaids. You may even want to keep them white for your wedding and have them dyed afterwards to pair with a favorite dress. Whatever option you choose, you’ll look fabulous in a pair of these shoes!

New Lynn Lugo dresses!

Check out some of the adorable Lynn Lugo dresses we've received for spring! We love Lynn Lugo for her great fit and customization. See a top you like but want a different skirt? Not a problem with Lynn Lugo. Whether you're looking for bridesmaids, flower girl or mother-of dresses this is a great line with great options!
