Open to all of our stockists, our trade events are the perfect opportunity to browse our latest collections in a relaxed setting, meet the Richard Designs team, get to know other stockists, and enjoy beautiful food and drink.
We run our events four times each year, and spaces are limited to ensure the event is relaxed and intimate. Spaces book up quickly, so if you would like to be part of our next event, book in now to avoid disappointment.
Our next Studio Event will be on 11th & 12th March 2025.
Relaxed & Intimate
We love to show you our newest and bestselling designs on the catwalk, and at our events we give you the chance to see each dress up close as the catwalk comes to your table. The design team give you the details of every dress and veil as it comes out on the runway, so you can really get to know each style.
There is time after each catwalk show to look at the dresses and accessories in more detail, and to request to see styles again on our models.
Handmade accessories
We will take you on a tour of our design and production studio, so you can see where your veils, tiaras, petticoats, belts and accessories are made here in the UK. We are so proud of our modern studio, where we create every design using the most beautiful fabrics. You will get a glimpse into our treasure trove stock room where we keep all of our crystals, pearls and laces, as well as a walk through our production studio where you can see items being made in front of you.
Delicious Food
We love to spoil you so we only serve the most delicious lunch at our events. With homemade biscuits, tea and coffee in the morning, a gorgeous grazing lunch, and beautiful homemade cakes for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
We look after your every need, so you can relax and enjoy the day.
Tailored Advice
Our studio events give you the opportunity to meet the Richard Designs team that help you day-to-day. From customer service and accounts, to the design team, and the staff that make your veils and tiaras, you will get to know the team that help you with your orders.
Charlotte, Aimee, Karen, Scarlett, Lorraine, Elaine, Alisha, William and Louise will be on hand to help you throughout the day, and to share their expertise and knowledge with you.
