Winnie Couture is an international luxury bridal brand based out of Beverly Hills, CA. Currently, there are flagship bridal ateliers in Beverly Hills, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, as well as being shown in over 150 fine retail stores. Because these gowns are all custom designed, this is not a business that can be disrupted by the Internet.
Headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, Winnie Couture was founded in 2001 by wife-and-husband duo Winnie and Chris Lee. After just a few short seasons, the couple has positioned the Winnie Couture brand as one of the fastest growing, most-in-demand bridal collections across the country. In fact, in just less than five years, the brand has become available in over 150 stores. In 2009, Winnie and Chris debuted their first West Coast flagship in Beverly Hills, California. From the grand chandeliers, the lavish décor, to the intimate fitting spaces, every Winnie Couture flagship store is designed to deliver the ultimate, immersive Winnie experience.
Winnie Couture has won the hearts of style-savvy brides, bridal editors and TV producers alike. Our salons and gowns appear regularly on the pages of the world’s top magazines, including Brides, The Knot, InStyle, People, US Weekly, World Bride Magazine, Perfect Wedding UK, Ego Magazine Dubai, Modern Luxury, Martha Stewart Weddings, and on TV’s hottest hits, including ABC’s “The Bachelorette,” FOX network’s “Glee,” NBC’s “Miss Universe,” The CW’s “Shedding for the Wedding,” Oprah Winfrey Network’s “Don’t Tell the Bride,” VH1’s “Basketball Wives,” E!’s “Bridalplasty,” “E!
