Happy Halloween!

Downtown Wheaton had their annual Trick-or-Treat Friday from 3-5pm. Our Boston Terrier, Stitch had to get in the action with his spider costume. All the kids and even mom and dad loved to see him dressed up! He was so excited to meet all the kids! We even had some little brides come through so they were thrilled to come inside the shop.

We're finishing up our Kitty Chen Trunk Show tomorrow Oct 30th with her brand new 2011 collection. We are the ONLY store and the first in
the nation to show the new line! Our next trunk show will be Nov 19-21st for LaRichi Couture and don't forget our special hours on Sunday the 21st noon to 4!

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!
