At the heart of Paris House is Rene’e Fennell — a third-generation designer, creative entrepreneur, and passionate curator of life’s most beautiful moments. Fashion runs deep in her family roots; she grew up watching her mother and grandmother bring garments to life with artistry and care. From a young age, she was captivated by the magic of transformation — fabric becoming fashion, and dreams becoming reality.

A graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design, Rene’e has spent her life immersed in design, manufacturing, runway, and retail. She’s dressed thousands of brides and prom girls, trained and mentored countless stylists, and continues to set the tone for what an unforgettable bridal experience feels like.

You’ll often find Rene’e peeking in on the sales floor — connecting personally with each bride, learning their love story, and bringing their vision to life with her calm confidence and designer’s intuition. Her ability to blend fashion expertise with genuine warmth makes finding “the dress” as joyful as the moment it’s worn.

Rene’e’s creativity extends far beyond the boutique. Alongside her husband, she has built and manages a portfolio of distinctive Airbnb properties, each personally designed and curated with her signature aesthetic — elegant, inviting, and thoughtfully detailed. She has also produced numerous fashion shows for charity and community “give back” events, raising awareness and funds for local causes close to her heart.

A lifelong learner, Rene’e is proud to be part of Boss (Bridal Owner Success Solutions) and other professional development programs, ensuring Paris House remains at the forefront of fashion, leadership, and client experience.

Her love for empowering others extends into her role as a pageant judge, where she celebrates confidence, grace, and authenticity in young women. Her passion for inspiring self-belief is something she shares with her daughters as well. Together with her daughter Maya, Rene’e helped create and organize the Princess Surprise Box — a project designed to help little girls feel pretty, confident, and dream big. A portion of each sale supports children’s charities, making every box a gift that gives back.

As a mother of two daughters, Rene’e strives to be a positive role model, showing her girls — and every young woman she mentors — that kindness, hard work, and vision can build both a business and a legacy.

Featured in the NWI Times for her trend expertise and community involvement, Rene’e continues to lead Paris House with heart, creativity, and purpose — celebrating every “yes” moment, in fashion and in life.
