It's Time for Prom!

With the holidays quickly coming and going it will be prom season before we know it! As we did last year The Dress by Nicole is looking for young ladies that would like to become Prom Dressers for the 2011 season. There are all sorts of incentives for our Prom Dressers where they could potentially earn a free prom dress! Check out our website today for details and apply quickly! Only a few Prom Dressers can be chosen.

December Updates...

November came and went so quickly! I knew it would because I was fortunate enough to get to go on vacation for a week to Disney World, and a week later it was Thanksgiving. Anytime I can combine my two favorite things (dresses and Disney) is always a great thing! At Disney Hollywood Studios they had the costume Dame Judi Dench wore in Shakespeare in Love. The details in this were amazing! Right behind the castle in the Magic Kingdom there was a newly renovated princess shop where they had Cinderella's and Princess Aurora's dresses on display. I was a Disney cast member in the past in the costume department and it's so exciting to see what my friends have been up to at the parks creating gorgeous dresses like these.

Being in Disney for a week definitely put us in the Christmas mood when we came home. Just in time to get ready for the holidays.











We were busy decorating our window for the annual Christmas Lights parade in downtown Wheaton the Friday after Thanksgiving and the Holiday Open House that took place today, despite the first snow of the winter, people still came out for the sleigh rides and see the downtown shops!

I had the chance to check out the I Do! Chicago Ties the Knot at the Chicago History Museum. This exhibit is only around until January 3rd and if you love weddings as much as I do you HAVE to see it. It's a really great set up for wedding gowns from the 1850's to present day and I loved how they tied a lot of the traditions and origins back to Marshall Fields. I truly recommend it for a girls afternoon downtown.

 Tomorrow marks the end of our trunk show season with a collection from Saison Blanche. Every week now we are getting in our new 2011 dresses! We've been getting a lot in from Aire Barcelona and Enzoani the past two weeks. We're also been getting in bridesmaids, mom's and even prom! The prom dresses won't be out until February so that our Prom Dressers can get first choice before we put them out for the public. It's an exciting time of year when all the new gowns come in which means that the busy spring season is right around the corner.

It's the season for winter weddings and this time of year reminds me of how busy we were 4 years ago planning ours. Our anniversary is this Thursday, the 9th. I wish all our winter brides a beautiful winter wonderland wedding day!
