eeing the sights on the South Charlotte scene. ​That's what we've been up to for the last few weeks.

And what a world of sights Charlotte has to offer!

From the unique and desirable luxury home market of South Park to the booming arts culture in South (That's me on the left.)

End to the dedicated work our residents consistently put into growing and strengthening our community, South Charlotte is overflowing with reasons both natives and newcomers can't get enough.

In light of such inspiration, we've made it the mission of S ​ outh Charlotte Lifestyle ​to capture and share the best of the best in our area. This includes the area's newest hot spots, trends in fashion and design, local artist spotlights, innovative developments in business, and, most importantly, you! ​ South Charlotte Lifestyle i​s driven by our mantra, "Inspired by Community." You are our most important feature and we welcome and encourage input from our neighbors and readers. Send us your stories, photos, and feedback as often as you like. We'd love to hear from you!

In this inaugural issue, we've put together a series of stories that give you a taste of what you can find just down the block or around the corner. We'll introduce you to the vibrant and moving work of artist Patricia Sabree, take you out for one of Dogwood Southern Table's finest cocktails, and give you an inside look at the superior craftsmanship and service of Winnie Couture, an upscale bridal boutique off Selwyn in South Park. You'll also read about trends in travel, find out what's happening with your local charities and how you can get involved, and check out what's happening in the month of April in our Lifestyle Calendar.

On behalf of our Publisher, George Zorrilla, and myself, I would like to thank our contributors and community of supporters for making this process enjoyable and enriching. We are so excited to have this opportunity to offer something back to our wonderful community and can only hope to add to the positive vibe our neighbors and partners have created here in South Charlotte.

Publisher’s Letter

Welcome!

elcome to the Premiere Issue of South Charlotte Lifestyle!

We’re excited to bring you engaging stories about the people and businesses of South Charlotte every month. Our goal is simple - We hope to play a small role in helping the area flourish by producing each issue as a resource filled with interesting content, special events, community news, local charities and more.

Over the short time we have lived in Charlotte, my wife, Alison, and I have personally experienced the friendly, community-focused atmosphere this area is famous for. We have been blessed with three children that have started their young professional and family lives in other states. Each time they come to visit us they are in awe of the outstanding community of people they come in contact with.

From the events, local restaurants, church, entertainment and more, the Zorrilla family couldn’t be more proud to serve the people of the South Charlotte area. With 2016 well underway, I see a bright future of businesses growing and families flourishing.

This publication would not be possible without the outstanding advertising partners who have placed their trust in us to reach the South Charlotte reader. We promise to work hard each and every month to be a good steward of your time and resources. We ask our readers to patronize our advertising partners as we were very deliberate with whom we chose to represent us and our area.

I’d like to thank my editor, Kacy Burke, and our contributing writers and photographers who worked so hard to deliver the first issue of South Charlotte Lifestyle.

To our readers, we look forward to growing each month while providing you with relevant and captivating content. South Charlotte Lifestyle is YOUR magazine and we will work hard to do you proud each month.

From my family to yours, CHEERS!

Find Your Best Gown at Winnie Couture, A Bridal Boutique in South Park ARTICLE IRIS HUNTER | PHOTOGRAPHY BRIAN JACKSON

Amber Williams and Manager Lindsay Spears

inding the perfect bridal shop can be challenging.

However, once you find it you have already won half

the war. Yes, I said war because finding the perfect wedding dress is serious business.

The choices of bridal shops in the Charlotte area are endless, however if you are looking for a shop that provides all of the necessary components to land that perfect gown you need not look any further than Winnie Couture, a full service bridal salon located at 2909 Selwyn Ave in Charlotte that provides exclusive gowns and various accessories to customers.

"Winnie's been around since about 2000, but we finally made our way over to the east coast and we are kind of meant to cater to all brides up and down the east coast,” says store manager, Lindsay Spears.

The store has only been open for a little over a year, but she is already proud of what the team has accomplished.

“I think we’ve put together a really, really great team of stylists that do the best job. They’re very knowledgeable, very professional in the field and in the industry”, she says.

There are two different types of collections sold at this location: the Blush Collection and the Diamond Collection. Both collections contain elegant looks, from traditional to modern, and the price for each dress will depend on the collection, the design details as well as CONTINUED how much embellishment is added to the dress.

WINNIE’S WAY (CON TI N U ED)

When it comes to shopping for a wedding dress many women will choose a dress that is more aligned with their taste, rather than what is actually trending. While there are a plethora of dresses a bride could choose from, today many brides to be are purchasing very specific styles of gowns.

“We have found the most popular styles include mermaid silhouettes, textured skirts, dresses with a sleeve or scrap and illusion and plunging necklines and back lines,” says Spears. "Throughout our showroom we feature a variety of different shades and colors. Our diamond collection sample gowns are featured in silk, which comes in one color. We call it diamond white. It's actually more of a medium color, not bright white or super ivory or cream.”

Because Winnie is a flagship salon, named after the designer herself, the boutique specializes in a variety of styles and silhouettes. Winnie has created both bridal and celebrity evening wear, including gowns for Kelly Clarkson, Giulianni Rancic, and Helen Hunt. She is a unique designer and has an advantage of creating a better selection of wedding gowns.

Winnie was an architect before she was a designer and her focus is on the structure of each gown. Most of them have built in corset and cups, which makes the bride feel more comfortable and secure and helps to insinuate the waist and bust line, according to Spears.

Spears adds, “What's unique about Winnie is that she uses the best materials to create the dresses and she works directly with us so that we are able to customize gowns through the ordering process.”

"Brides do have the option to customize, which a lot of times at authorized retailers you don't because you have to often times have the approval of certain designers to alter their gowns," Spears notes.

The average timeline to custom order a gown is between six to eight months, however this location can get a gown in as little as two months, but this time frame will not include any alterations.

If you are not sure what type of gown will be a great fit for you, then a stylist will be happy to assist you with trying out different styles of dresses during a 90 minute consultation. Spears feels that the consultation is very important since most brides have a vision of what type of dress they wanted their whole life, but once they try it on they change their minds after realizing the gown is not a good fit for their body type.

Amber Williams, a stylist at Winnie Couture, has been a bridal consultant for nearly four years and enjoys working for the company, especially since she is able to assist women with purchasing their wedding gown and accessories for the special day.

“When I walked in I automatically felt special. Even just having my interview I really could feel how much these girls cared for the brides and that’s just so important because it is someone’s special day,” she says.

During a consultation with Williams she will chat with you about your budget, but most importantly she will chat with you about your vision so that she can hone in on what you are looking for in your wedding dress and/or your accessories.

“It really is a different experience from everywhere else just because we really take it to the next level”, says Williams.

She added, “We are taking care of your gown like it’s our sister’s gown or our cousin’s or anybody else’s.

26

South Charlotte Lifestyle | April 2016

Winnie Couture also offers an online feature where brides to be can save their favorite dresses on their website and an in store stylist will have their dresses ready for them to try on when they arrive for their consultation.

“We provide this feature so that we can make the process easier for our customers,” says Williams.

If you desire to be elegant, classy and stylish on your wedding day and are wondering how you can “spring into fashion” for your upcoming wedding, ride on down to Winnie Couture or visit their website at WinnieCouture.com to check out their fabulous selection!

Parting Thoughts

Birds ON A WIRE

KENDRA MATHEWSON

O

ne of my dear friends is a painter who sees the world through her amazing artist eyes. When she was the newbie in our neighborhood, her heart was sensitive to how to integrate her family into the community. Driving one day she noticed how birds perched on a telephone wire seemed to choose when to gather, and who to pause with. As she watched the birds sit, and then come and go, those birds spoke to her of how we create community, who we keep counsel with, and even the dynamic nature of the process.

She had moved in down the street, and it was my love of her work that initially drew us together. We shared a moment of connection on my front porch steps, and lingered like the birds chatting on the telephone wire, before we flew off back to our hectic lives. Over the years, through working on house projects, painting together, building a club, learning new skills together, cooking meals together, playing cards as couples, we’d pause from the “flights” our lives demanded (me flying around in my minivan and she in her Mini Cooper) to sit like those birds on a wire and talk over tea. This is how we became friends.

That is community. That is how community begins and how it grows. These one-on-one connections expand and extend and become a beautiful web of interconnectedness. Through words,

34

South Charlotte Lifestyle | April 2016

stories, shared experiences and common interests, we find inspiration to create our communities.

My friend’s keen observations became the main theme of a series that has become her signature. The beauty of her Birds on a Wire series, and her reflections on community, have inspired me to embrace and celebrate more the important place it has in our lives. We live in such an individualistic society that our personal empowerment sometimes overshadows the significance of our need for each other.

Like the ingredients of an exceptional recipe, or the materials used to construct a quality home, a community is only as good as the people who comprise it. Because the people are who ignite an idea, imagine a future, share an event, take the bull by the horns, see a need and fill it, spread the word about a new business, open their home to new families, bring a meal when there’s an illness, invest in a neighbor or believe in a student, give witness to struggles and celebrate successes.

Our magazine is your “wire.” Let us pause to read the stories that have been inspired by our community, to drink in the beautiful photographs that paint the story of us. Email your editor and publisher, or better yet reach out and enjoy a cup of coffee together. Let us stop here in the pages of our publication each month and celebrate like birds on a wire, before we fly off back to our busy lives. You inspire us.
