I visited the lovely ladies at White Couture Wedding Attire and Tuxedos in Park City, Utah on an unseasonably rainy June day.  Lillie Garrido, the owner of White Couture, and her invaluable sidekicks, Kristin and Christina, gave me a warm welcome when I entered their beautiful bridal salon.

In addition to being Park City’s premier bridal gown and tuxedo stop, they also run Soiree Productions, one of Utah’s best known wedding and event design and coordination companies.  Soiree Productions executes elegant upscale weddings and events with style and ease throughout Park City, Salt Lake City, and beyond.  You’ll get to know more about Soiree Productions in a future spotlight on my blog.  Today, we’re going to talk about all about White Couture!

Not only does White Couture feature some of the most fashionable, timeless wedding gown designers, but they also supply bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, gorgeous wedding shoes, jewelry, hair pieces, and accessories to discerning brides.

The photos below, show the actual sample gowns on sale now.  I had to contain my desire touch every one!

White Couture carries an extensive selection of Spanx (to keep things smooth underneath your gown), and Hollywood Fashion Tape which is great for avoiding wardrobe malfunctions, wedding day emergencies, and is safe for delicate dress fabric–no pin marks!

The phrase “omnia vincit amor” is featured prominently in the salon, meaning, “love conquers all”.  Doesn’t it, though?

I’m a big believer in good product packaging.  Pretty packages make me want to buy things, but the product inside has got to back it up beneath the glossy exterior.  Studio Enizio totally does that.

When you walk into Studio Enizio in Lehi, Utah, you are warmly greeted by the studio manager, Alex.  The decor is chic and luxurious, with soft blue walls, big white moldings, dark , shiny floors, contemporary furniture, sparkly light fixtures, and sleek stainless steel.  You want to be there and you know you’re going to get a great hair service or makeup application.

Cynthia is the owner of Studio Enizio and she’s a doll–warm and friendly.  She insists on the very best, and educates her clients about the best products to use and why they are so good.  She’s passionate about what she does and does it beautifully.  I learned a lot while I was there.  Grocery store hair care is bad!  To get some of this education, visit the Studio Enizio blog, where Cynthia gives tips and tricks on hair and makeup.

Studio Enizio is Utah County’s exclusive carrier of Kerastase hair products (shampoos, conditioners, and all kinds of other hair goodies), which are the best of the best.  Not just anyone can carry this line.  Kerastase puts salons through a rigorous application process, testing, and salon visits before allowing them to carry it.

A big component of Studio Enizio is the Onsite Hair and Makeup division.  I have had the pleasure of having five of my brides use Studio Enizio for their bridal and wedding day hair and makeup, and am always referring brides there.  What a difference it makes for photographs.  It’s “you, only enhanced”, as Cynthia puts it.  The fantastic thing about Cynthia and her on-site team, is that they can do classic, natural, elegant, and chic wedding hair and makeup, but can execute the most current fashion looks when needed.  They are truly talented.

Enizio Onsite Hair and Makeup Artistry has been in business for 5 years, and won Best Makeup Artist in Utah County for Salt Lake Magazine’s Best of the Beehive, 2009.

They also offer permanent cosmetics by Stephanie, who I’m told is very precise and does amazing work, as well as natural, beautiful hair extensions, eyebrow waxing, eyelash extensions, and a specialized hair cutting technique called a Thermal Cut, which seals the end of the hair.  To find out more, visit their website, www.studioenizio.com.

With special treatment like this, who wouldn’t want to visit Studio Enizio?

Cynthia didn’t want me to take her picture while she was putting on lip gloss before I did her head shot, but I think it’s too cute not to post.

Cynthia’s little brother, Samuel happened to be visiting the studio when I was there.

I like to think of him as the studio mascot.  What a cutie.  Then, there’s Alex pulling a Samuel move.

And finally, the beautiful Cynthia, and Alex looking all professional.
