It was great to catch up with those of you we haven’t seen since we were last in the US and to put faces to names for the rest of our stockists. New customers were most welcome, with all appreciating the hard work and skilled craftsmanship and design that goes into our collections.

BBEH: Tiaras & Headdresses on the Catwalk

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

To continue our series of blogs for the run up to BBEH, the biggest UK trade wedding show of the year, today we give you details on how you can see our tiaras on the catwalk.

BBEH Catwalk 2011

We are pleased to announce that out tiaras and headdresses will be featured on the catwalks at BBEH this September in the Bridal Preview Fashion Show. It is a great opportunity to see how the tiaras work with next season’s dress trends, and how best to wear some of the more unusual pieces.

The Bridal Preview will be held twice a day, each day of the show at the following times:

The Bridal Preview
Sunday 2.30pm 6.30pm
Monday 12.30pm 4.30pm
Tuesday 10.30am 2.30pm

There will be a drinks reception before the 6:30pm showing on Sunday, which the Richard Designs team will be attending. It would be lovely to see you there!

Once you have seen the pieces on the catwalk, make sure to come to Stand M33 to take a closer look! For more information on the catwalk shows, see the BBEH website.

In March this year, we had both our veils and tiaras on the BBEH catwalk, which were a great hit with buyers! Here are some pictures from the fashion show in March:
