Retailer Spotlight: Koonings Wedding Palace

Wedding planning can definitely get overwhelming from time to time. Ever stopped and wondered – ‘I wish I could plan my whole day from one place?’ Well, Koonings Bridal Palace in Deurne, The Netherlands, is one step ahead when it comes to assisting you. Meet our lovely ÉLYSÉE retail partner, Ramona -- entrepreneur, store owner, and bridal genius!

“I think that our store is a one-of-a-kind. We are the largest bridal store in the world and cater to every bride.  In addition, we are an all-in-one concept -- not only can the bride can shop with us for her total bridal look, so can her husband-to-be, wedding guests and bridesmaids. After shopping, you can treat yourself to a nice high tea, lunch or cake at our pink Instagrammable restaurant. You can also start your wedding dress appointment with a visit at our beauty and hair salon.”

“We always recommend that our brides come to their appointment prepared. Go to Pinterest or go to our website and really decide for yourself what kind of style and dress you are looking for. On our website, you can create an account and select your favourite dresses as well. This way, your stylist can get an impression of the dresses you would like to try on, and pull some styles perfectly suited to your taste.”

“Every moment with every bride is unique and therefore memorable. There are so many stories and moments. But I will tell you about this special moment last summer. This was last year when we were partnering up with the TV show Married at first Sight (Netherlands). There was this really sweet, young bride. When she told me about her dream dress, I immediately thought about the Enzoani dress. When she put it on, there was this sparkle in her eyes. Then I knew, I was right and this was her dream dress.

Let’s talk awards, has your lovely store won any?

"Yes, we have! For 6 seasons now we have been the host for Say Yes to the Dress Benelux. In addition, we get a lot of requests from TV shows, magazines, and other media. If we think there is a match, we will contribute, which is a party every single time."

"ÉLYSÉE is our go-to for brides because of the fit of these dresses. They really make a statement, which is what brides love!! Besides that, ÉLYSÉE collections are mostly ahead of other brands, they are innovative and exactly what our brides are looking for.
