Flowergirl Says “Yes” to the Dress

Written by , Posted in Bridal News * Misc, From Soliloquy, Real Soliloquy Brides

We just LOVE this story and had to repost it. Our good friend and wedding photographer, Marirosa of Photography by Marirosa wanted to give her daughter, Zoe, the experience of shopping for a couture gown.  Naturally, she brought Zoe to us.  There's no age limit on outstanding customer service at Soliloquy, and we gave Zoe our full attention and personal treatment.  We had a ball, and so did Zoe.  Below is a sampling from Marirosa's blog on Zoe's couture shopping experience.  You can go to her blog for the complete details.  Its was a GREAT day – except for one thing.  We think we've spoiled Zoe, and she will no longer accept anything less than the best.  Thank you Marirosa and Zoe.  We had a ball…..

When I come home [from a wedding photo shoot] Zoe loves to see the photos as I go through them, she asks me questions about the brides and the grooms… but most of all – the flower girls…. She loves the thought of being one, choosing a dress and feeling beautiful….. 

This got me thinking, how do I make her feel that way, the way a little girl feels in choosing her dress, seeing herself in the mirror, twirling around…. so I decided to call my dear friend Miriam – owner of Soliloquy Bridal Couture in Herndon. I told her what I wanted to  do, let Zoe try on dresses….

Today when we walked in for her appointment Miriam was there and made her feel amazing from the moment she walked in, she had to fill out a client form (just like a bride) and she sat with her and talked about her wishes. She then took her into a dressing room and she came out one by one wearing her dresses….She chose a beautiful dress with a ribbon, which we are adding a flower to. We sat down and let her build her own dress, choose the color and everything.

….Here is a peek into our amazing appointment today. I beyond highly recommend Soliloquy Bridal, not only for wedding gowns, but for bridal party, flower girls or any special occasion. The dresses are divine and the service  simply A M A Z I N G!

Thank you Miriam….. now to wait for her dress to arrive! We are counting down!

Ah this photo…. Oh Zoe my love, you have no idea how it makes me melt, look at that face, just seeing herself in the mirror……

D.C.’s Punk Rock Bride to Expand to West Coast

Written by , Posted in Bridal News * Misc, Vendor Spotlight

According to designer Stephanie Ward, “Punk Rock Bride was created for the bride who is looking for a less traditional, more fashion-oriented dress.”  Soliloquy Bridal Couture is proud to have the exclusive East Coast selling rights to this D.C. born bridal collection. Stephanie's vision was a perfect match for us, and Punk Rock Bride has become one of our most popular lines.

Below is a May 12, 2013 Washington Post article about Stephanie, Punk Rock Bride, her move to the west coast, and her east coast affiliation with Soliloquy Bridal Couture:

The wedding gown collection, which caters to brides who are looking for off-beat designs and more modern cuts, was started by Stephanie Ward in her Georgetown apartment in 2008. Five years after founding the brand in her Georgetown apartment, Stephanie Ward is going West.

“There was a real void in the industry for more original dresses,” Ward said. “[Our customers] are looking for something with interesting detail, something a little less traditional. We don’t get a lot of brides who want the poufy ball gown with a long veil and tiara.”

In November, Ward closed the doors of her Capitol Hill shop and relinquished exclusive selling rights to Soliloquy Bridal Couture in Herndon….More at DC's Punk Rock Bride to expand to West coast – Washington Post
