"Trashed" or just "Gently Worn"?

Choosing and wearing your gown is so fun!


What do you do with the gown after the wedding?

Don't let your special gown lay crumpled in the bottom of a closet for months or years.  We are specialists when it comes to caring for and carefully cleaning and storing your wedding gown.

Our sister company, Great Lakes Wedding Gown Specialists, is a member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists.

For under $200 and without leaving our Holland area, we will clean and preserve your wedding gown.  You chose it with love and care; wore it for the most wonderful day of your life; take the final step and store it for memories and the next generation to enjoy.

Trunk Show :: Stephanie James Couture


I fell in love with the gowns by Stephanie James Couture back in Fall of 2007 when we opened September's Bride.  At that time, we could only dream of featuring these beautiful gowns in our boutique.

Stephanie James is well-known around the world and Kleinfeld's recently featured three of her gowns in their legendary window displays!

We will be having a Trunk Show with at least a half-dozen gowns by Stephanie James Couture this September for our Anniversary Celebration.  This will coincide with our semi-annual MEG Jewelry Trunk Show.  So, definitely plan on visiting September's Bride on September 24, 25, & 26 of this year.

Stay tuned for more details.
