National Bridal Market Chicago: Recap and Bestsellers 2011

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Those of you that came to see us at the National Bridal Market in Chicago at the end of September should already have started receiving your orders and we hope that you are pleased with your new products. The new Victorian-inspired accessories collection has been extremely popular with our UK customers and so we were pleased to be able to bring the new collection to Chicago this year.

Richard Designs at Chicago Bridal Market

The four day show was a real joy for us to attend. With lots of international and US designers and manufacturers showing, we soaked up the fashions and style of American Brides. Everyone was so welcoming and we look forward to returning next year!

So now what you’ve been waiting for…the bestsellers from the show. Un-missable information if you are a US bridal retailer and couldn’t make it to the show!

Veils

First off, the veils. The C325C was very popular at the show. Its scalloped edge and diamante detail sections all around the edge makes this veil easy to match with any gown, adding subtle sparkle.

Wedding Veil Diamante Edge C325C

The show stopping C360A is part of our Victorian Inspired collection. This veil has two combs, which can be placed separately to create a bouffant effect.

Two Comb Veil C360A

The beautiful silver button detailing finishes off the veil perfectly.

Two Comb Veil C360A Detail

The C310A was also popular, with some of you asking for it with a detachable train – perfect for a bride who wants to wear a long veil for the ceremony and a shorter veil in the evening. The diamante detail on the C310A is beautiful and matches many silver beaded areas of current gown styles, and the drop on each scallop adds even more sparkle.

Silver detail plus drop veil C310A

And last but not least, the Royal Wedding Inspired C353C was, not surprisingly, also very popular. Inspired by the lace applique and silk wedding veil that the Duchess of Cambridge wore at her wedding to Prince William, this veil is bordered with beautiful French lace, hand applied here in the UK.

Tiaras & Headdresses

The side tiara TR1023A is perfect for a bride who wants on-trend headwear that is easy to wear yet makes a statement, no wonder it was so popular at the show!

Silver Crystal Side Tiara TR1023A

The TR1361A is beautifully delicate and textured with layers of fabrics, crystals and pearls.

Victorian Inspired Headdress TR1361A

For those who want a softer look, the TR1036A is a great twist on a side tiara. Delicate feathers and silver crystals sit on the side of a head for a modern touch. This headdress can also be made in many different colours for bridesmaids or mother of the bride!

Feather Bridal Headdress TR1036A

The TR1302A band is a must-have for any bridal shop window. The graduating silver crystals on a comfortable band creates an elegant look that works with many styles of gown.

Silver Crystal Hairband TR1302A

Silver Crystal Hairband TR1302A Modelled

Come back on Friday when we’ll reveal the bestselling bridal fascinators, petticoats and jewelry from the Chicago show!

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.
