Coffee with Ricky – Episode 3 – Dawn Heaney – Couture Bride

In the now popular monthly episode series of Coffee with Ricky, I had the pleasure to sit down with Dawn Heaney, one of the owners of Couture Bride in Las Vegas. I have known Dawn for years now and am an admirer of her beautiful salon. I was delighted to sit down with Dawn and learn about her historical roots with Vera Wang, NY – & Oscar de la Renta.

Dawn and I casually sat in her salon over a brew and discussed emerging trends in Bridal Fashion Dresses, Trunk Shows, and the array of beautiful gowns that Dawn has exclusive access to in her salon. Dawn made me feel very comfortable and her beautiful salon was the perfect backdrop to this episode. Dawn & Couture Bride will be at the Fabulous, BRIDAL SPECTACULAR, along with other amazing vendors.

Dawn Heaney and Flora Petakas Marinelli, former executives at Vera Wang, and Annette Cirillo-Bergen announce the opening of COUTURE BRIDE, the first and only full service luxury bridal salon in the Las Vegas area. The shop, located at 950 S. Durango Drive, will be the exclusive retailer for Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Elizabeth Fillmore, Ulla Maija and Platinum Collection.

Former colleagues at Vera Wang in New York City, Heaney and Marinelli have spent the past 6 years learning from the best. “Vera taught us how luxury is done,” says Heaney. “Couture Bride will be modern, sophisticated and elegant. Selecting your bridal gown will be a uniquely warm and inviting experience within the especially romantic yet exciting environment we have created.” Annette’s familiarity with the Las Vegas area, as well as her business background, make this partnership the perfect match. We are excited to bring our knowledge of the luxury bridal business to Las Vegas.”

“It is important for our brides to see all their options instead of relying on us to select what we think will be best for them. We want to be able to present all style, fabric and silhouette options for the customer to narrow down,” said Marinelli. The décor of the boutique will compliment the unique topography of the Las Vegas Valley. Fabrics and interior accents will be chosen with respect for the colors of the stone canyons and red rocks of the region. Rich, earthy shades of silk satin organza and silk duchesse satin will be combined in a unique way to exude luxury, warmth and couture. “Every detail of Couture Bride will encompass luxury and chic sophistication.” said Cirillo-Bergen.

The store concept involves plans to carry bridesmaids’dresses and a bridal registry to include tabletop items, stationery and small gifts. “Our hope is to build the registry over time as well as offer gowns for the mother of the bride and guests,” said Marinelli. There are also plans to install a webcam system so mothers of brides who are unable to be with their daughters at their appointments can see the choices they are making via cell phones or computers.

Couture Bride will set a new standard for bridal salons in the Las Vegas area. It will envelop all the excitement, energy and sophistication of the new “Urban Las Vegas”.

Couture Bride will be holding the VERA WANG SPRING 2009 BRIDAL COLLECTION, January 7-9, 2010.
