The charming streets of downtown Houma are excited as Bloom West Boutique gears up for a double celebration on November 4th. The day starts with a vibrant Open House, and as the sun sets, the glamour takes center stage with Bloom West’s First Annual Fashion Show Gala, aptly named “Lights, Camera, Fashion.” The dual event promises an unforgettable experience filled with giveaways, style, and a heartwarming cause.
Open House: Morning Delights
The day starts with a grand opening of Bloom West Boutique, located at 300 Belanger Street. At 9:30 AM, the ribbon-cutting ceremony marks the official beginning of the festivities, with doors swinging open at 10:00 AM. Owner and stylist Leslie Terrebonne and her team have left no stone unturned in making this day truly special.
For those looking to strike it, big giveaways galore await. Lucky visitors can walk away with 50″ Screen TVs, gift baskets filled with exquisite inventory, Vera Bradley goodies, and exclusive swag bags. Be among the first 50 customers to spend $75 or more to snag one of these coveted swag bags, brimming with surprises and delights.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. One fortunate shopper can win a shopping spree worth $1,000, ensuring a fabulous haul of fashion finds. Throughout the day, watch for the “money gun” as it showers you with Bloom Bills worth $1, $5, $10, $20, and even $100, making savings as stylish as the boutique’s offerings.
As you explore the boutique’s goodies, indulge in delightful refreshments, including beverages and hors d’oeuvres. However, make the most of your day, as the doors will close at 3:00 PM for the general public but reopen for VIP access after the fashion show.
The Grand Opening promises to be filled with glamour, style, and plenty of opportunities to make it truly memorable.
Fashion Gala: Evening Extravaganza
As the sun dips below the horizon, Bloom West’s First Annual Fashion Show Gala takes center stage on Belanger Street. The event promises a night of elegance, fashion, and a strong message of inclusivity.
This year, the gala proudly supports the Upside Downs organization. Ella Moreaux, one of the talented models with Down Syndrome, will grace the runway, showcasing the boutique’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
The evening begins with a VIP Cocktail Hour at 6:00 PM, setting the stage for a night of glamour. The fashion show commences at 7:00 PM and promises a spectacular display of style and creativity.
VIP Tables are selling fast, offering an exclusive experience that includes two bottles of champagne, hors d’oeuvres, a delectable dessert, and a special gift from Bloom West. Importantly, a portion of the proceeds from the VIP Tables will support Upside Downs.
For those who prefer general admission, tickets are available for $35, providing access to a night of fashion and giving back.
The event is not just a fashion show; it’s a gala that gives back, exemplifying the importance of community and supporting a fantastic cause. So, come dressed to impress and be part of an unforgettable evening.

A Heartfelt Message from Leslie Terrebonne
Leslie Terrebonne, the passionate owner and stylist of Bloom West Boutique, has always had a special place in her heart for her community. She shared a touching story with us, illustrating her boutique’s deep connection with the people of Houma.
“When I first opened up my boutique,” Leslie begins, “a 15-year-old resident in our community expressed a keen interest in fashion and a desire to work in the fashion industry, and her mother asked on Facebook if any local boutiques were hiring. Without any hesitation, I enthusiastically agreed.” Leslie’s sincerity in fostering local talent is evident in her actions.
Ella, the young girl with dreams of a fashion career, and her mother visited Bloom West Boutique for an interview. From the moment they walked in, Leslie was captivated. She saw in Ella not just a young aspiring fashionista but a spirited, vibrant soul overflowing with a passion for fashion.
However, Ella brought much more to the table. Her presence brought joy and forged a meaningful connection between the boutique and the Upside Down community. Leslie Terrebonne’s warm embrace of individuals like Ella is a testament to the inclusive spirit of Bloom West Boutique.
Leslie notes, “Embracing individuals like Ella and receiving heartfelt support from our valued customers is what fuels my heart and my business.” Her commitment to making her boutique a place that celebrates diversity and supports local talent is a remarkable testament to the power of community and fashion coming together.
Leslie’s heartwarming story truly reflects the love and inclusivity that defines Bloom West Boutique. It’s not just a store; it’s a place where dreams come true, and the community is at the heart of everything they do.
