Well, it’s Friday and tomorrow the big set-up for the BBEH starts. We hope you have enjoyed finding out about what Richard Designs have to offer this spring.

We’ve packed up the product and it is on its way to Harrogate as we speak, we’re so excited about this season’s collection and we can’t wait to share it with you. You’ve heard about some of the team – Richard Allen and Kelly Harper on Nieve Designer Couture; Benjamin Dicks and Jane Adams on the Boutique Collection, but who else can you expect to meet?

Elaine Dicks, the company founder will be present for her 36^th Harrogate show – a record that is almost impossible to beat! Karen Setchell and Wendy Dixon are our veil experts for this show and both have years of knowledge to share; Karen has been with us since she left school and as well as being a talented embroidery machinist, is now assistant to the workroom manager for the whole firm, if there is something she doesn’t know about veils, it just isn’t worth knowing. Gemma Cornwell is our team-leader in the tiara department and having trained in design at college, is responsible for many of the designs on display.  She is ready to show off the team’s sparkling new creations (which were previewed in our tiara blog last week). Kelly Harper, our head designer, is itching to meet you all and discuss the inspirations behind this season’s accessories.

This exhibition there is also a strong family connection, as Ben Allen, William Dicks, Louise Dicks and Benjamin Dicks will all be buzzing around – prizes to anyone who manages to meet them all! All are veterans of the show and have grown up in and around the company, so feel free to grill them if you have any queries!

We warmly welcome you all to M33, M30, M29 and M28! Every exhibition is a great pleasure and we look forward to seeing you there.

The British Bridal Exhibition Harrogate is trade only; if you aren’t a trade customer but you love our bridal accessories, then we’d love to hear from you; give us a call on (01353) 661600 or an email and we can direct you to your nearest bridal shop.
