The Women behind The Couture Closet
Lauren Montgomery and Tera Sartini saw a need in Louisville Kentucky that was not being fulfilled. As many of their friends were getting married they continually heard the same story again and again. Brides-to-be were headed out of town to find that perfect gown for their big day. Having both gone to school for event management and planning to become wedding coordinators they decided to set their sights on the retail side of the wedding business. So in 2005 Lauren and Tera started their extensive research and wrote a business plan that would change their lives. After being turned down at bank after bank because of lack of collateral, a private investor stepped in and lent the two enough money to make their dream a reality. Construction of The Couture Closet began in the summer of 2006 and they opened their doors in La Grange Kentucky in January 2007.
The Couture Closets Concept
Brides in the Louisville area were headed out of town to find the gowns they saw in the pages of all the wedding magazines. These girls saw the beautifully crafted designer gowns and had no place to buy them locally. The Couture Closet researched top designers in the wedding industry and chose ones that were not found anywhere around the Louisville area. Featuring three wedding gown designers and three bridesmaid designers The Couture Closet covers the bases in styles and prices. The Couture Closet is not just selling you your dream gown but also an experience and hopefully a memory that will be special to you for the rest of your life.
Buying your gown should be an exciting time and you should enjoy it! The Couture Closet only schedules one bride at a time so that we can give you our undivided attention in helping you select the perfect gown for you. You and your family and friends can relax in the comfortable atmosphere and enjoy tasty pastries and refreshments while you try on luxurious gowns.
