Mon Amie Blog

Mon Amie needs no introduction from me — it’s a tradition! After more than thirty years in Orange County, this local landmark is a must-see destination. Every bride who comes to us is struck, not only by the sheer number of dresses and accessories, but how highly personal the service is. Many of our Consultants have been here for years and really understand their brides. And talk about service...the store has nearly 90 employees, from Sales Consultants to professional gown Seamstresses.

Las Vegas Bridal Market

It is the time of year again - for Las Vegas Bridal Market. Bridal Market is the week when the moderate and affordable bridal fashion and accessories designers come to Las Vegas to show their newest collection of bridal gowns and accessories for brides, bridesmaids, and mothers of the occasion. I always look forward to my trips to Las Vegas twice a year to see the latest designer fashions. This year I was asked to speak at a seminar for retailers at the Las Vegas Bridal Market.

Monique Lhuillier

I want to thank you everyone for the great turnout!!!. On Thursday, April 3rd Bloomingdale's held their Pre-Wedding Wedding Party, at South Coast Plaza! Tons of brides came to meet their favorite designer Monique Lhuillier and view her tabletop collection. It was great to see my old friend Monique and her husband Tom. Mon Amie Bridal Salon has been with Monique since the beginning and we are so proud of her success! On display will be a wide selection of 15 Monique Lhuillier Bridal Gowns exclusively from Mon Amie Bridal Salon. Here are a few photos from this fun night.

Last night's party was amazing! The Orange Coast Weddings Magazine Launch Party was hosted by the publishers of Los Angles Magazine, and was held at the exclusive Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. We were lucky enough to attend this hot party with decor by Square Root Designs. When you first entered the party you ascended down a long staircase onto an outdoor deck decorated in all white, with white candles and white orchids and white lounge furniture.As you made your way through the party you then entered the Montage Grand Ballroom where everything was a sea of deep red! It was breathtaking! Here are some of the highlights from last night!
