Who is the Silicon Valley Bride?

As we gear up of yet another trunk show I wonder who is our bride here in silicon valley?!?
What do we know about silicon valley? High tech, biotech, start up, semiconductor, are a few industries that make it hard to say as most of those industries are men driven. In fact this area is unique in that women are out numbered by men! http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/18/technology/18women.html?pagewanted=all

So, who is this Silicon Valley women, well we know she's in her late 20's early 40's, she's educated, and has very little time to plan a wedding!

What does that mean to me, Gabrielle's Bridal?

Is there more to this women then we can see? What do you know about the silicon valley bride? Share with us your thoughts.

Christos by Amsale NY

Since we have a few appoitments left for our faboulous trunk show this weekend, I thought I would will you in on Amsale the designer of the Christos Collection. Amsale Aberra's career as a couture bridal and eveningwear designer happened by necessity. While planning her 1985 nuptials to film executive Neil Brown, Amsale scoured the stores to find a simple, refined wedding dress. She found little in the way of clean, sophisticated gowns, and discovered an untapped niche in the bridal market—elegant and understated dresses. The CHRISTOS collection, now under the creative direction of Amsale, owner and creative director of AMSALE, has long been established as the couture collection for the classic, romantic bride. CHRISTOS was established by Cyprus-born designer Christos Yiannakou. After heading his collection for over 20 years, he retired in 2005, leaving Amsale at the helm of the CHRISTOS collection. As creative director, Amsale has upheld CHRISTOS legacy for tradition while infusing a touch of her own modern sensibility into the collection. Amsale sees CHRISTOS as a natural extension of her own collection, as both are rooted in classic timelessness. A romantic at heart, she reveres CHRISTOS as a venue for her more traditional side. In opposition to the modern aesthetic which defines the AMSALE collection, CHRISTOS evokes a feeling of fairy-tale, femininity, and romance. Amsale's CHRISTOS gowns have long stood out for their impeccable heirloom quality. Her use of the finest silks, French laces and silk organza are staples of the collection. CHRISTOS designs are especially known for their use of Alençon lace, or point d'Alençon, a type of needle lace created in a French town by the same name. Alençon, a small town in Normandy, began manufacturing lace in the sixteenth century. This same lace is used today to create CHRISTOS classic romantic designs. Hollywood has embraced Amsale's CHRISTOS collection, featuring CHRISTOS gowns in the Katherine Heigl film 27 Dresses, and the August 2009 film The Accidental Husband, starring Uma Thurman. CHRISTOS also traveled down the wide-screen aisle in Kate Hudson's film My Best Friend's Girl, which released nationwide in September 2008. Now that you know all about Amsale and her vision, make your appointment today.
