With a degree in design; several years of industry experience and a father-in-law with a wedding gown manufacturing company in China, Winnie Lee, followed her dream and started Winnie Couture. Being young in the industry, Ms. Lee’s wedding gown collections reflect her willingness to be a little more innovative and bold in their statement.
In 2006, with the trend for destination weddings on the rise, Winnie unveiled her Destination Wedding Collection. This bridal gown assemblage is created in 100 per cent silk fabric and is made to be lightweight, with simple silhouettes. "Its fabulous for the beach or an outdoor wedding," Ms. Lee says.
Every Winnie Couture gown is made by Ms. Lee, with the highest quality workmanship and detailing. As much as she loves to personalize the bride’s gown, custom work can only be done by Ms. Lee at her flagship store; or stores located in the Houston area.
Winnie Couture designs can be found at more than 300 of the most exclusive retailers in North America and Europe, including England.
