Video from CHOICE 2012

Long overdue! Our fabulous video from the runway show!
CHOICE Runway Show

CHOICE!

Folks, we did it. Literally hundreds of vendors, models, stylists and press came together to make this event an incredible success.

Stay tuned for tons of media: photos from backstage, runway photography, video, and links to all of our awesome press!

Many, many thanks to all of you who made this a SMASHING success. We can’t wait for the next CHOICE!

REHEARSAL!!

We are beyond excited at this point about our upcoming show. We are honored to have our special guest Leanne, ecstatically proud of our budding designer Karina, overwhelmed by the talent of our models, and absolutely humbled to be in the presence of the literally hundreds of vendors we are lucky enough to work with.

THREE DAYS TILL CHOICE!!

We are so excited to finally have our event arrive! Check out some of the gowns we’re most excited about showcasing this Wednesday!

The Eagle Has Landed!

Our honored guest, Leanne Marshall, has arrived! Though we won’t get to hang out with her too much until the show (sob!) we did get to say hello, receive her new gowns (gasp!!) and send her back out into the rainy Portland day. I promised her sunshine this weekend, so don’t let me down, weathermen!

Our spirited model Heidi Lavon was at the shop getting fitted for the runway and managed to sneak in and snap this photo. We’re so excited to have both of these ladies with us next Wednesday!

Portland Architecture Styling!

We love our beautiful city and the diverse, historic architecture it presents. For this theme, we went with classic red lips, lots of pinup hair, and sheathy, interesting gowns.

ONE DAY SALE!

Purchase three seated admission tickets today and get one free! If you’ve been waiting to buy your CHOICE tickets, today’s the day!

Glam Rock in the HOUSE!

We know that some brides want to bring it BIG on their wedding day- in the most glamorous, rock-star way possible. For our Glam-Rock theme, we didn’t delve too deeply into KISS or Def Leppard, but we did crank up the sparkle, satin and shine in the gowns. Our makeup and hair are derived from early 80’s glamour.

Elegant Southern Picnic Styling!

We went with big, feminine, pink, and fluffy for our Southern styling. Tara Keely and Watters are our biggest contributors to the gowns!

Grecian Beach Styling!

Now that we’ve decided on all of our gowns for the themes, we thought it would be nice to share with you what we’re inspired by on a day-to-day basis. Here’s a little peek of the gowns, makeup, and hair that we’ll be using for our Grecian Beach Soiree. Note that all the gowns are designed by Leanne Marshall, our special guest!
