Michelle Rahn’s inaugural Bridal Fêtette is a Memorable Success!

Couture bridal salon Michelle Rahn just hosted their Bridal Fêtette on Saturday May 2, 2009.  And what a fêtette it was!  Amidst a comfortable and elegant atmosphere, each guest sipped champagne and chatted into the late afternoon about all things bridal.  And while enjoying each other’s company, each guest was simultaneously treated to unforgettable tips from some of Chicago’s most knowledgeable bridal industry professionals.  The lucky women in attendance came in as guests and left as friends.

The event opened with effervescent makeup artist Eunita Carter from ECC Artistry, who gave mini touch-ups and shared professional insider beauty tips.  Next, stylist-to-the-stars, Sherri Hoke, treated guests to flawless style tips, with the aim of making every guest’s special day a “Red Carpet Moment.”  And the most pleasant surprise of the afternoon came from cake designer Mary Winslow, of Take the Cake.  Brides-to-be didn’t hesitate to indulge in the delicious dessert from the award-winning specialist. However, Mary’s desserts weren’t the only treats that took the cake.  That honor was also reserved for the couture dresses themselves, the passion of designer and salon owner Michelle Gertzman.   Michelle discussed how to navigate through the often-stressful parts of the dress process— including properly selecting, fitting, and ordering a high-quality gown.  The event culminated in Michelle’s guests trying on their favorite gown and striking a pose for all their new friends in attendance.  Guests left the salon with a keepsake of the professionals’ brochures to complement their new ideas. Two additional professionals not in attendance, florist A Stem Above and photographer Jai Girard also left valuable written information for the brides to take with them. 

A memorable afternoon indeed!
