Bridal Market and Trends for 2011

This weekend was bridal market for the new 2011 season. It's always exciting to see what the new styles and trends are coming up next. In wedding gowns, it's all about ruffles and layers. Mermaids and trumpets are still popular but I saw return of the full skirt or ballgown too! For accessories, everyone is showing feathers, flowers and Russian netting poufs or short bird cage veils! The biggest trend is BELTS! The more beaded the better! All different colors, widths and lengths! It's the perfect way to take that simple gown to the next level!
I got to see our friend, Kitty Chen, and her new 2011 collection that we will be the very first in the country to debut her new collection at our trunk show October 22-24th. The new collection has something for everyone and they are all gorgeous! While visiting LaRichi Couture I was lucky enough to meet the Mara the owner of Kleinfelds in NYC and her buyer Sandy. They actually spoke to me for a minute...very exciting! Hopefully we'll see some of our LaRichi Couture styles on Say Yes to the Dress on tv soon!

Another star sighting was that I got to meet Kathy Ireland! She is gorgeous in person and very nice. She chatted with us for a minute or two! Most of the new accessories we ordered should be in November/December and the wedding gowns will start arriving in December, January, and February. Don't miss our Hey Lady Shoes trunk show this weekend and see the new color options available as soon as January!
