Ask an Ette Bride: Milan!

Milan was truly an Ette bride from the beginning—before we even officially opened she knew she wanted to work with us and came to our opening party! We know you’ll love her radiant personality and and honest advice about her wedding planning experience. We were blown away by how she was able to combine a colorful tropical vibe with such moody, timeless romance, aided by Lee Forrest’s gorgeous florals! The Maitland Art and History Museum was the perfect setting, and Lumiere and Love captured their do so beautifully. Thanks for choosing to work with us Milan—you’re a true gem!!

Her gorgeous Costa Rican wedding to her lovely husband Luke is truly the stuff of dreams, and we are so grateful she shared her gorgeous photos from Sylvia Guardia of their big day! Scroll through to read about Taylor’s experiences with planning her wedding, and see photos of the fitting to real wedding process!

Meet the Team Behind the Seams: Kpoene!

Kpoene' started Mignonette Bridal  in 2011 as a romantic, feminine wedding gown design label for individualist brides. Shortly after assembling her workroom she realized there was something missing in the alterations world--a boutique atmosphere with skilled seamstresses trained in complicated, custom gown-making. The Mignonette team started offering alterations services to other wedding shops around town, and grew into what Ette has become today!

Ask an Ette Bride: Cate!

Real bride Cate shares her experience planning her wedding, finding a gown, and getting it tailored with us! “Coming in for alternations changed my complete vision of my gown. I did not think I would love the alternations process, but I had more fun with that then I did purchasing. It was fun to come in and see the progress; I fell in love with my dress all over again. The women I worked with also made my confidence sky rocket as their work and vision was beautiful. Never once did I doubt that my gown would turn out amazing. “
