Visit M33 for the Biggest and Best Selection of Accessories at BBEH

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

We welcome you to join us in the world of Victoriana as we unveil our latest collection:

The cultural events, artistic movements and social fashions of the Victorian era influenced more areas of our lives than many of us are aware of. For this collection we have immersed ourselves into a historical ocean of inspiration, looking at the modest, moral and majestic. Modesty was key to the Victorian look, it was a time when a virtuous bride always turned out in her finest for all occasions, not least her wedding day, when lace, pearls, brooches and ruffles were a requirement and indulgence was the dress code!

Victorian Inspired Accessories by Richard Designs

‘Victorian Sonnets and Floral Bonnets’

This Victorian inspired collection has been carefully created to combine vintage style elements, inspired by the Victorian era with a contemporary use of fresh ivory lace and bright Swarovski crystals.

‘Heirloom Treasures and Lacy Pleasures’

This concept takes antique jewellery and Victorian costume details and modifies them into a fashionable product for the contemporary market. It demonstrates the practice of breaking down the elements of historic costume and turning them into a modern interpretation of Victorian fashion.

Elements of nature that were so popular in Victorian Design are captured within the detail of designs throughout our collections. Leaves, flowers, birds and all things natural have inspired our designers, you will see frothy gathered handmade lace, encrusted diamanté and set stone details with cameo elements echoing designs of the past. Fancy cuffs are replacing dainty bracelets for the contemporary Victoriana look.

Stand M33 is more than just a place to look and buy, it is a whole experience. You will be transported to the Victorian era, with beautiful furniture, luxurious fabrics and stunning displays. All are welcome to visit the Richard Designs stand from 11th –13th September at the BBEH in Harrogate.

Don’t forget that you can also see our Victorian Inspired headdresses and tiaras on the catwalk in the Bridal Preview Fashion Show. See more details here.

Visit M29 at the BBEH for more than just petticoats

Monday, September 5th, 2011

With only six days until BBEH, the biggest trade bridal event of the year begins, we will be here every day this week to show you what you can find on our five stands in Hall M. This weekend, Blue Ribbon Petticoats will be on display at the British Bridal Exhibition at the Harrogate International Centre.

Blue Ribbon Petticoats at BBEH

Blue Ribbon Petticoats have gone from strength to strength since their introduction onto the market in 2008. Including all dress shapes from a-line to fishtail, and with a large choice of colours including Antique White, Blue Ribbon gives you more than you expect when it comes to Petticoats. Luxurious fabrics, British manufacturing and superb customer service puts Blue Ribbon at the top.

This September, there is a new addition to the collection, due to be launched at the show next week. Shrugs and jackets will be shown for the first time, including styles for occasion wear as well as bridal wear. The same high quality and British manufacturing means you can have exactly what you need for your customer. Fabrics include silk, lace and tulle, and all are available in a wide range of colours. With dress fashions pointing towards illusion necklines and, of course, Catherine Middleton showcasing her elegant lace sleeves, these really are not to be missed!

Blue Ribbon Shrugs

As usual we will be releasing a couple of new petticoat shapes to keep up with the current dress trends. This time we will be showing the special 4 Hooped extra large petticoat that we told you about in April.

BR31 Sketch

The BR31 creates a very full skirt perfect for princess style gowns. The four hoops keep the net away from the bride’s legs, enabling her to walk freely, and creating the perfect shape. Finished with only four layers of net, the petticoat is light and easy to wear.

Last, but certainly not least, we have been working hard to create a detachable bustle which is designed to be attached to your choice of petticoat to create a full back to a skirt. The trend for bustle-back gowns is fully underway since the Royal Wedding in April when Catherine Middleton wore her beautiful pleated bustle skirt.

Kate Middleton's wedding dress

We hope that you will be able to join us between 11th – 13th September at the British Bridal Exhibition on Stand M29 to see the new petticoats and shrugs.

If you cannot make it to the exhibition, please call Jennifer on 01353 661600 or email info@richarddesigns.co.uk for an appointment to see the petticoats, or for a brochure.

Please note, the BBEH is a trade event. If you are a bride and would like more information or advice on petticoats, take a look at our advice page and gallery, or just give us a call on 01353 661600 or email info@richarddesigns.co.uk
