Jacqueline Weppner is the founder and editor of Merci New York, a Manhattan-based fashion styling company that publishes a popular national wedding blog of the same name.
Jacqueline’s mandate for Merci New York is to produce “chic style for the busy city bride”®. She strives to make a bride feel absolutely beautiful and impeccably styled for her wedding and all its surrounding events.
Prior to launching her brand, Jacqueline had an extensive career in the fashion industry, working in design and marketing for brands such as Joseph Abboud and Lacoste.  After carefully navigating the fashion for her own 2008 wedding, she began fielding style queries from friends. Being city brides, they all had a distinct fashion sense, but their demanding careers left them little time and few resources to execute their vision...
Realizing the opportunity at hand, Jacqueline launched the Merci New York fashion styling brand in late 2009. On a day-to-day basis, Jacqueline and her stylists tackle a variety of tasks for their clients, such as:
·      Helping find “the dress, as well as perfect, sought-after accessories
·      Joining on the big day to dress, bustle, button and pin you to perfection
·      Guiding the choice and coordination of all bridal party attire
·      Producing and stylizing engagement session wardrobe, location and aesthetic
·      Assisting in honeymoon wardrobe, registry and gift shopping
Jacqueline has been quoted in reputable media outlets such as GLAMOUR, The New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides New York, The Knot, and The New York Daily News and internationally in Harper’s BAZAAR. In addition to fashion styling the bride, Merci offers creative direction and production for editorial projects.

The Merci New York Mandate...

The Merci New York blog edits the massive, somewhat overbearing world of weddings into a refined niche of the most chic and stylish resources. Our daily posts showcase elegant and relevant inspiration, products and services that match the polished taste level of the busy city bride. Sophisticated, but never snobby, Merci discerns between glamour and gauche in the voice of a fun and fashionable friend, providing honest advice and on-point inspiration in fields such as décor, fashion, photography, invitations, gifts, event venues, shops and more.
