20 Year Anniversary!

Thank You!

Wow! Time has been flying by! We can't believe it's been 20 years since we have started helping Kansas City's finest brides find their dream wedding dress. We are incredibly thankful that each one of you has chosen Laura's Couture Collection as your bridal shop (and you've sent your friends too!). It means so much to us to be part of your special day!

Just because we have been around for 20 years, does not mean we are slowing down. We just had to thank everyone - our Kansas City brides, Chicago, New York, LA brides and all the brides in between - for their support of our local wedding dress boutique!

And to the brides who have just gotten engaged, we wish you the best and look forward to seeing you soon! Below are some events that are not to be missed! Call a stylist today for your appointment, 913.631.3010.

The Knot Wedding Party - Kansas City

The Knot Wedding Vendor Mixer at Dark Horse Distillery



Timing was more than perfect for the wedding vendor mixer party hosted by The Knot and The Dark Horse Distillery. It was the eve of the first snowstorm of 2013 and Kansas City wedding vendors braved the cold to join in friendship with one another, enjoy great cocktails and goodies, as well as check out one of Kansas City's newest venues.

We enjoyed an evening visiting and reconnecting with old friends and meeting a few new ones, too!




Drinks served were "The Kiss", "The Diamond Ring", and "The Empire".
Out of these fun-named cocktails, Laura's favorite was The Kiss - perfect name for a wedding shin-dig, right?!

Laura catching up with former a former bride and employee! Time is flying!


Chatting up with Feast of Fancy.



A few talented dancers were on hand, too, for fabulous entertainment!
