About Us
We are passionate about celebrating you and your special day!
Paris House, Michigan City’s iconic bridal and formalwear boutique, is more than just a place to shop — it’s a family legacy that has been dressing life’s most exciting moments for over five decades.
What started as a small family business has blossomed into a true destination for brides, prom girls, and women celebrating milestones of every kind. Step inside Paris House and you’ll feel the buzz — shimmering gowns, joyful celebrations, and a team that treats you like family from the moment you walk through the door.
Owner Renee Fennell is carrying forward the dream her father and mother began, still side by side with her mother and best friend, the legendary Mrs. P.
Matt, her husband, is always cheering her on, while daughters Olivia and Maya already bring their sparkle to prom season — ensuring the next generation is ready to shine.
But behind every gown and every unforgettable “yes” moment is the Paris House team. More than staff, they are the soul of the boutique — creative, passionate, and deeply dedicated. The manager, each stylist, seamstress, and consultant brings heart, talent, and vision to the Paris House experience. Their voices are heard, their ideas are valued, and their care makes every bride and prom girl feel seen and celebrated. Together, they transform a shopping trip into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
That spirit of excitement and connection extends to every client. Brides and prom girls aren’t just buying dresses — they’re stepping into the Paris House story. Many families return year after year — first for a wedding gown, later for a daughter’s prom dress, and eventually for a mother-of-the-bride gown. And now, a new generation of young women is beginning the journey all over again, making Paris House part of their own family traditions.
Now, as Paris House launches an exciting rebrand, the boutique is honoring its rich heritage while stepping boldly into the future. With a refreshed logo, a private couture collection, its historic home in the Uptown Arts District, and a powerhouse team leading the way, Paris House is redefining what it means to shop for life’s most unforgettable moments.
At Paris House, family is the heartbeat, the team is the strength, and every visit is the start of something extraordinary.
