Another great Moda show – thank you for coming!

Friday, February 24th, 2012

First of all, a big thank you to everyone who came to see us at the Moda show last weekend. We had a great show and loved showing you our colourful new hats and fascinators and, for the first time, CM Couture dresses.

Now, onto the bestsellers! Our favourite bit of returning back from a show is seeing which of our styles were your favourites. And the good news is, if you missed the show you can see all of these bestselling designs, and more, by booking an appointment with Ben, our company representative.

The British Bridal Exhibition in Harrogate is the best place to source key dress lines and accessories. The March show is slightly quieter than September in terms of visitors, so it is the perfect opportunity to do some key buying in a relaxed atmosphere. For those of you who did the bulk of your buying in September, the March show is a great chance to top up your collection with a few new pieces to hold you over for the second half of the year.

Don’t forget we will be able to fulfil orders made at Harrogate quickly so that you will have your samples for your summer brides to try on. Brand new styles of tiaras, veils and jewellery will be on show, with our special offer of free matching earrings with every necklace set available.

If you know already that you won’t be able to make it to the show, you will be able to see most of the new samples after the show in an appointment with a company representative. Just call us on 01353 661600 or email info@richarddesigns.co.uk to book an appointment to see the collection.

BBEH is a trade show and entry is free for trade buyers. If you are a bride and would like to see more of our products, see our galleries, and contact us for details of your local stockists.
