MGC's Gown Shopping Tips

You've found Mr. Right. He's picked out the perfect ring and FINALLY gotten down on one knee.
Now, you're on the hunt for The Dress. Meg Guess Couture offers their advice to give you the advantage.

4 Things to Remember When Shopping for a Wedding Gown:

1. WHO TO BRING//Bring the people you absolutely need to make a decision. Those people should also understand what YOU are looking for and want to help you find YOUR gown.
2. BUDGET//Talk to any and all contributors and agree on a budget for your gown. Don't forget to consider if accessories [veil, sash, jewelry, etc] will also be included in the budget for your wedding day attire. Remember you will probably need additional alterations for a custom fit.
3. VENUE//Consider where your wedding is going to take place. Your venue can have a huge impact on the style of your gown.
4. TIMELINE//Couture bridal gowns take about 5-7 months to arrive. A rush may be added to an order for an additional and with approval from the designer. Meg Guess Couture often hosts a Sample Sale, with gowns that can be bought off the rack. Another thing to remember about ordering a new gown is alterations. This process can take up to 3 months.

Congratulations to all Brides-to-be! We can't wait to find you your gown!


With Love,

MGC

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!

Kenneth Pool Trunk Show March 25-27!

Next weekend is our Kenneth Pool trunk show! Starting Thursday, March 25th and running through Saturday, March 27th we will have the fall 2010 collection available for you to view and try on. If you've never been to a trunk show before, here's the scoop. Because we are unable to carry the entire collection from a season, we choose our favorite pieces for our studio’s stock inventory. These are the sample dresses you see on a daily basis in the studio. A trunk show is an event where the vendor ships the entire collection to our store (in trunks, of course) and provides our brides the opportunity to access all the dresses we know they will love.
This is definitely not a show to be missed. Call us today to book your appointment & shop all of Kenneth Pool's gorgeous gowns.

The 5 Hottest Spring Trends | Origami Details

East meets west in our final trend report of this week. Sharp, architectural details marry beautifully with soft bubble hems and luxurious fabrics this spring. The details of this trend are small, so look for subtle hints of an origami design on dresses with obi belts, sharply layered necklines and modified petal busts. The look is very sharp, clean and usually with a simplistic silhouette. We have great examples of dresses with this origami detail waiting for you in our studio!

The Hottest 5 Trends for Spring | Mermaid Silhouette

Our next hot trend for spring is the mermaid silhouette. In a nod to the vintage, old Hollywood feel, the mermaid gown is a modern take on a classic look. This is for the bride who has great curves she wants to show off but still wants the fullness of a ball gown. This is a look that adds drama and sophistication to a dress. We have beautiful gowns in our studio that offer this marriage of vintage sophistication and modern glamour. If you’re a bride that is interested in this look, give us a call to set your appointment and we will help you find that perfect look!

The 5 Hottest Spring Trends | Bold Shoulders

In our continuing coverage of the 5 hottest spring trends, we are so excited about this next trend: bold shoulders.

No not the 80’s giant, puffy sleeves. Let’s hope that look NEVER comes back. We’re talking about the great new one-shouldered dresses and the dresses with illusion straps that we saw all over the runways. Many of the one-shouldered designs incorporate a romantic texture, which we talked about in yesterday’s trend report. The illusion strapped dresses feature soft chiffon or tulle straps, some with delicate beadwork and others with soft, billowy ruffles. If you’re a fashion forward bride, ditch the strapless dress and instead opt for a dress with a detailed shoulder!

The 5 Hottest Spring Trends | Texture

This week we are covering the 5 hottest trends for bridal gowns this spring. Today is the second day of our trend forecast and the topic is texture, texture and more texture!

The hottest gowns for spring offer up a heavy dose of romance. From dreamy chiffon to romantic organza and soft tulle, this trend appeals to the goddess in all of us. These fabrics dominated the New York runways this season and have been paired with delicate layers and cascading ruffles to deliver a feeling of ethereal beauty.

When choosing a dress with texture you want to keep the details confined to either the bodice or the skirt. Heavy or ornate details and textures on the skirt should always be balanced with a more simplistic bodice and vice versa. You also want to make sure you choose a dress you can wear, as opposed to a dress that is wearing you. The perfect wedding gown should enhance your existing beauty and not steal the spotlight away from you. Keep these things in mind when selecting your gown and you are sure to walk away with your perfect dress! We have received some amazing gowns this week and our brides are loving them. Don’t wait to find your dress! Appointments are filling up fast as wedding season heats up. We look forward to seeing you soon!

The 5 Hottest Spring Trends | Old Hollywood Glamour

This week we are covering the 5 hottest trends for bridal gowns for spring. We are so excited to show you the amazing new dresses we are receiving on a daily basis.

What once was old is new again. Vintage glamour is back in a big way. Think 40’s and 50’s old Hollywood screen sirens. Delicate fabrics, simple silhouettes and an all around elegant simplicity are what this trend is all about. These gowns will show off your figure and those feminine curves. Minimal beadwork and clean lines are what attract brides to this style. If this is your style, call us today so we can show you the dresses we received TODAY that are vintage inspired and have a truly amazing fit! We are so happy to finally have these dresses in our store.

And as always, we have everything you need for your big day. In addition to bridal gowns, we have bridesmaids dresses, flower girl dresses, tuxedo rentals, jewelry created in-house, custom veils, head pieces, shoes, cake toppers and so much more. We look forward to seeing you very soon!
