Meet Jenny Lee in Person at her Neiman Marcus Trunk Show

This Friday and Saturday (March 19 and 20) meet wedding gown designer Jenny Lee during her trunk show at The Bridal Salon at Neiman Marcus Downtown. This is very exciting because it is rare that a designer actually travels for a trunk show. They usually just send a rep. So take this opportunity to speak with her directly. Call 214 573 2663 to make an appointment so you don’t miss out!

BCBG Launches a Bridesmaid Collection!

Ooh! This is so exciting! Finally the cries of desperate brides around the world seeking pretty dresses for their ‘maids are being heard by designers – and BCBG is one of them! Their new bridesmaid collection features ten dress styles that come in eight colors  – champagne, ink blue, pale lime, wisteria purple, peach blush, deep red, black and white. What’s great too is that any of these dresses could also serve as bridal gowns for those seeking something more casual for their nuptials. Prices range from $258-$348. In addition, they’ve got accessories like silk pashminas, jewelry and clutches as well as knotted open-toe heels and pumps in off-white, black, champagne and red satin. I’ve been told that that NorthPark store should be carrying the bridesmaid dresses but if not, they can always be ordered on the BCBG web site (link above). A new era is emerging in the world of wedding attire – rejoice!

New Twist on Wedding Gown Shopping

Traditional brides, this might seem a little too far-fetched for you. But all you unconventional brides, listen up. This could be right up your alley. So you want the expensive designer gown (who doesn’t?) but you don’t want the expensive designer price. Smart Bride Boutique has the right idea. Now you can purchase bridal gowns from recent brides for a fraction of the original cost. Yep, even those expensive designer gowns are drastically less expensive. Yes, the idea may stray a little far from tradition, but honestly, what does tradition have on a beautiful Vera Wang? Shop a selection of gowns on their web site, submitted by recent brides, and if you find The One, you can set up a meeting time with the selling bride to check out the dress in person. Sounds like a pretty smart idea to us.

Vera Wang Trunk Show at Warren Barron This Weekend

Vera Wang blew my mind with her spring 2010 bridal collection. Almost every single gown was breathtaking. This week, March 4-6 from 10am to 6pm, you can see many of her gorgeous designs (past and present) in person at her trunk show at Warren Barron.

Bride’s Head Revisited Trunk Show at The Wedding Party Studio This Weekend

Bride’s Head Revisited isn’t just a classic book, or a movie based on that book, it’s a custom bridal veil and accessory designer with fabulous taste. (Yes, I know the book’s title has a different spelling but you get the point.) They offer gorgeous headbands, veils, combs, barrettes, brooches, hair pins and even ring pillows for the bride who appreciates originality and vintage glamour. In fact, we like them so much we’ve used their pieces several times in D Weddings photo shoots. So if you’re looking for hair accessories for your big day don’t miss the Bride’s Head Revisited trunk show at The Wedding Party Studio February 12-14 from 10am-5pm. Trunk shows bring in more of a designer’s pieces than a store usually carries so it’s definitely worthwhile to attend. And if you make a purchase at this trunk show, The Wedding Party Studio will give you 10% off your order. So now you have two good reasons to head over there this weekend! But, be sure to RSVP at info@twpstudio.com or 214-296-4908.

There’s a New Bridesmaid Dress Designer in Town and We Likey

bmIn each issue of D Weddings, I am responsible for the bridesmaid page. This means that I scour the collections of all deisgners carried in the Dallas area for bridesmaid dresses that are actually pretty and don’t look like every other one you’ve seen.  (See the page from the most recent issue here.) Believe me, this is not a simple task. It is, however, getting easier. Designers are finally taking notice of the lack of attractive attendant dresses and creating their own lines. Thank goodness! To that end, a new label has emerged called Swoon. Available exclusively at Bella Bridesmaid until June 30, 2010 (and at other local retailers after that), the frocks, made of chiffon or silk charmeuse, are soft, feminine, elegant and, believe it or not, all under $300. Now when you tell your ‘maids they’ll be able to wear the dress again after the wedding you won’t be lying.

Plus, read about real weddings and get tips, advice, ideas and info from the pros! Not near a Tom Thumb, Borders, Kroger or Barnes & Noble? Then check it out on our web site here.
