Accessory Shopping Made Easy!

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

We are pleased to say that this January already looks very busy with our stockists seeing an influx of new-season brides coming in to take a look at their beautiful gowns and accessories. 2012 is a wonderful year to get married, with the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee on the horizon, the country is looking to celebrate!

Stockists, we are ready to take your orders; we have 3 fantastic customer service assistants who are all experts with our products and thousands of items in stock ready to send to you. As always, bespoke ordering is available at no extra charge. You can order by telephone, email, fax or post; however you order you will be sent a delivery confirmation by email with an estimated dispatch date and another email when your order is shipped. It couldn’t be easier!

These are just a few other ways in which we can help you this year:

Stockists: We make sure that brides come to you. Our policy of not selling online or to online retailers will stand fast throughout 2012 and beyond. Bridal wear is special, and we understand that the service and experience received from one of our stockists is second-to-none.

Trying on Bridalwear Richard Designs

We receive hundreds of direct enquiries from brides each year, and we direct them to you. We will send you a veil, tiara or piece of jewellery on a sale or return basis if a bride local to you has seen a particular style and wants to try it on. If the bride decides to purchase the item then you will be invoiced for it at its normal price. Of course it is your sale and you keep 100% of the sale price (we don’t have RRPs and we don’t advertise any products with them either!) If the bride changes her mind, then we will arrange for it to be collected from your premises on a day of your choice. Free of charge of course!

Our three company reps are available year round to visit you in your shop with our collections. For an no-obligation appointment just email Jennifer on jennifer@richarddesigns.co.uk or call 01353 661600.

Just call, email, fax or post your orders to us and we will process it straight away for delivery when you choose. See how to contact us here.
