Many of you will have seen us before at exhibitions such as the British Bridal Exhibition in Harrogate. This year we will be attending four different exhibitions so that you have the opportunity to see every one of our collections. Exhibitions are the only opportunity to see all of the new collection as well as best selling items in one place. We love to meet all of our customers old and new at these events and to catch up and see how things are going for you. We are known for putting on fantastic displays and after over 50 shows, this year we will have the biggest and best yet.

Where we will be in 2011:

February 20-22 Moda UK at the NEC Birmingham, showing The Boutique Collection.

Come and see us in Moda on stand G14 in Hall 19 if you are a stockist of the Boutique Collectionor are interested in seeing our hats and fascinators. We welcome all of you onto our stand as we reveal our brand new styles. Over the coming weeks we will have sneak peaks of the new hats, fascinators and colours on offer this season. You can read about our inspirations for the new collection by following this link.

March 13-15 British Bridal Exhibitionin Harrogate, showing the Richard Designs collection, The Classics, The Boutique Collection, Blue Ribbon Petticoats and NIEVE Designer Couture.

The March show is a good time to top up your stock for the new season. You will have received your gowns by March so can clearly see what accessories you need to add to complete your collection. We will continue to celebrate our 25th Anniversaryat this show, with fantastic veil displays, beautiful tiaras and jewellery on stand M33, Blue Ribbon Petticoats (we have a new, sleeker net for our petticoats – more on that nearer the time!) on stand M29,  Nieve Couture and the Reflections range on stand M28 and the Boutique Collection (perfect for mother of the bride) on stand M30. Not only this but we are finalists in the Bridal Buyer Awards, with winners due to be announced at the show and we are featuring our accessories in the Fashion Shows. Phew! All in all it will be a packed and exciting show for us and we hope you will join us in Harrogate.

August 14-16 Moda UK showing the Boutique Collection.

Our second Moda show of the year and a chance for you to see the brand new collection of hats and fascinators.

September 11-13 BBEH showing all collections.

Plans are already under way for the second British Bridal Exhibition of the year, and we are sure that this will be our biggest show of the year as September tends to be a larger affair than March. September is a good time to re-stock for the new year and coming to the show allows you to see everything in one place and make the best decisions.

Although the shows are the only place to see everything we do in one place, our company representative Ben carries a huge selection of our best-selling veils, tiaras, jewellery and petticoats on the road all-year-round. This can be useful if you like to see the items in your shop and try them with your range of bridal gowns. If you would like an appointment please call Vicki on 01353 661600 or email vicki@richarddesigns.co.uk. We also carry product brochures for all of our labels, just contact us for a copy.

If you are a bride then unfortunately you will not be able to attend these events as they are for trade only. But do call or email usfor details of your nearest stockist, many of whom show our tiaras, veils, jewellery, hats, fascinators and petticoats at their own or local wedding fairs and shows.
