Rowayton is a picturesque Connecticut coastal town which is conveniently located off of I-95. It is home to a number of highly acclaimed restaurants and various specialty shops, making this pop-up boutique an ideal bridal destination.
Shortly following Coren’s 2003 wedding, The Coren Moore bridesmaid line was launched with the Collection and Signature bridal lines following in 2008.

Known for her exquisite design capabilities, superior craftsmanship, brilliant array of colors, and truly wearable dresses, Coren Moore is sought after for both formal and casual events.
Because the designer herself is now a Darien resident, her presence at the Connecticut location will ensure the integrity of the boutique, and a highly personal shopping experience for its patrons.
