This year at the February 2011 Perfect Wedding Show, POSH was featured in two of four runway shows! The shows showcased dresses that reflect the Traditional, Romantic, and Modern bride. POSH's shows includes gowns designed by Simone Carvalli, Lila Couture, Casablanca, and various gowns from LUXE Bridal Couture line. Bridesmaids from Alfred Sung and Dessy Collection, long with flower girls from Jessica Lynn and mother-of-the-bride from Jade Couture.

Although it was a quite snowy day (alright, it was a blizzard), brides and their bridal parties flocked to the International Market Square in Minneapolis to check out what all wedding vendors had waiting for them. There was excitement in the air as the crowds made their way from floor to floor, to vendor to vendor. To see pictures of our Vendor Booth, click here to be connect to our Facebook photos.

The fashion show was kicked off with a David's Bridal line with flower girls. The first POSH show followed. It was a total blast! Our models made their way down the runway, working our bridal gowns, bridesmaids, and flower girls. The next was another David's Bridal show, featuring their Vera Wang collection. The runway was wrapped up with a final, fabulous POSH line show. Men's Wearhouse tuxes were also featured throughout each of the shows (with an exception of the David's Vera Wang collection).

This runway show could not have been possible without coordination with Lori from veiled events and Hailley from L' Event Bridal Consulting & Events Management. It was a pleasure putting together this show, and you ladies kept everything running so smoothly. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and effort. We can't wait to collaborate again! ;) Be sure to click the links to find out more about these extraordinary event planners.

We also want to give a special thanks to all our models. You all were perfect for the runway, and looked magnificent in our gowns. We look forward to working with you ladies again too!

Back to Blogging in 2011!

After a short hiatus, we at POSH are back to blogging. It has been busy, busy, busy with the newly engaged brides and their wedding parties coming to the Semple Mansion the past few months. What a way to bring in 2011 and the ENGAGEMENT season!! Now what have we been up to this new year at POSH...

First and foremost, we are proud to announce our new partnership with Luxe Bridal Couture! Luxe specializes in sizes 14-28 designed especially to fit the curvaceous bride. Our partnership has allowed us to be the first in the Twin Cities to carry couture designs and provide the couture experience to every size bride. Shayna, the owner of Luxe, has brought some of the most elegant gowns, from designers such as James Clifford, Essence of Australia, Jaquelin Exclusive, and C.C. Elaine - Feme Luxe. So don't be confused when you call to make an appointment and we answer, "POSH & Luxe!" Same beautiful boutique and intimate atmosphere, with more selection for brides of all sizes!

We couldn't be more excited for Luxe's first big event Christina Wu Trunk Show this weekend, February 5th & 6th. Appointments still available on Sunday the 6th. Beautiful Christina Wu gown is pictured to the left.

Speaking of events, we at POSH have been ENGAGED starting off 2011 with special events and trunk shows. In January we hosted two trunk shows, Simone Carvalli and Lila Couture, and threw a Bridesmaid & Bubbly event. So many brides and their bridesmaids, spinning on champagne and nibbling on treats, while trying on alluring, high-fashion gowns for all the ladies in the wedding party. Too much fun!


Finally, we would also like to remind everyone that POSH has new boutique hours! Get out your SmartPhones and iPhones, and write these down:
  • Tuesday-Friday 10am - 3pm (walk-ins welcome)
  • Tuesday-Friday 3pm - 8pm (by appointment)
  • Saturday 9am - 4pm (by appointment)
