Busy, busy bridal b.'s

If you didn't know it was wedding season, all you would have to do is step inside our boutique for about 5 minutes and it is quite obvious. In spite of all of the wonderful new brides/weddings {it can get a LITTLE hectic :) } we have occurring over here, we wanted to show you some new lovelies that have decided to grace us with their presence.

First up our first Vera Wang of the Fall 2010 Collection!!

**you may recognize it from Khloe Kardashian**

Next, the always impeccable Oscar de la Renta

And last but NOT least Romona Keveza

Keep with us! We are still not even done with our market recaps!! Be on the look out for Oscar de la Renta {it was SWOON-worthy}, Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka, AND Reem Acra. Phew, we better get cracking!!

Happy Friday!

Romona Keveza Collection Spring 2011

In keeping with our Romona Keveza Trunk show coming up on April 30th and May 1st, we thought we would show you the newest gowns from the Romona Keveza Collection that will be in stores in the Fall! Collection is one of two bridal lines that Romona Keveza designs (the other is her Legends line). While all of her gowns maintain an "old-Hollywood" feel, Collection is for the bride who is drawn to a fashion flair. These gowns tend to have a bit of sass, while still remaining timeless.

Not to toot our own horn (because all we did was provide the dress), but Romona was so in awe of the photo shoot done by Jose Villa, OnceWed.com, and Joy Thigpen, she chose the iconic black dress as one of her finale pieces on the runway :)

Now onto the runway, which by the way, we thought was so incredibly fabulous (which I know we say a LOT, but it is true :) )!!

The worst part of market is having to wait for our samples!! Keep in mind, these Romona Keveza bridal gowns will be arriving in Nashville in early Fall of 2010.

Romona Keveza Collection & Legends Trunk Show: April 30th & May 1st

The last weekend in April, we have the pleasure of hosting BOTH of Romona Keveza's Collections: Legends and Couture. Romona Keveza overall has a feeling of old Hollywood glamour. She oozes sophistication. The Legends collection seeks a timeless bride while Collection plays more towards the bride, while timeless, wants to be a bit more fashion forward.

Please join us in seeing these GORGEOUS collections!! An appointment is required to attend, so please contact us to reserve your fitting room and consultant. Our number is 615.297.7800 or feel free to send us an email, bhughesbridalformal@gmail.com.

We will leave you with some pictures of what is in store for you!

Vera Wang Maids Spring 2011

We loved Vera Wang's Bridal Spring 2011 Collection, but her wonderfulness did not stop there, her Maids Collection was also absolutely fabulous. In fact, the term "maids" seems a little outdated when referring to these little numbers. Your friends will thank you for putting them in these dresses!

Vera Wang Bridal Spring 2011

To kick off our market review, we are going to begin with the one and only, Vera Wang. Prior to us seeing the collection, we heard from fellow stores, how incredible it was, "her best collection yet," was a frequent comment made, and they were right.

In Vera Wang's words, "The Vera Wang 2011 Spring-Summer Collection celebrates the fragile femininity of 'tea party' and 'garden party' dresses. Frothy gowns of extreme delicacy in the palest Easter egg tints of lavender, blush, rose and silver gray inspire a certain gaiety and youthful spirit. Occasional bodices of beautiful floral embroideries and skirts of hand-painted lace provide a charming counterpoint to the sophisticated architectural pieces. These are romantic artful clothes that appear to float-all lightness and air!"

A lot of these dresses were shown in pale colors, but they most definitely come in ivory or white. Another interesting thing we found, is that Vera Wang did not include ANY crinoline in these dresses (the itchy fabric beneath the gowns).

Please let us know what you think!

 

Back from The City

If you have been following us on twitter, you know that we have been in New York City (for market) for the last few days. While technically, we were there for business, that didn't stop us from enjoying every single minute of that fun city! We attended runway shows (I know, it is all in the name of business) and market appointments, did a little shopping, and ate probably a little too much food--you have to walk a lot in the city though right?

In celebration of all the new things we saw, we will be taking the next few days to blog about all of our conquests! We cannot wait to show you all the new designs from Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Romona Keveza Collection, Legends by Romona Keveza, Badgley Mischka, Reem Acra and the new maids gowns. We are still on a little bit of a fashion high (Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang may have shown their best collections yet) these gowns will be coming to Nashville in the fall. But not to worry!!!! We are currently getting in our new gowns that we ordered in October! ALSO get a sneak peak of the new collections at the trunk shows we have coming up!

A few of the trends we saw throughout all the designers were: peplums, straps, changeable looks (taking off or adding different pieces), exposed corset tops, and boleros (or cover ups).

Up first: Vera Wang, so you better stay tuned...

****Newness at b. Hughes****

Big apologies for the lack of posts lately!! It has been an absolute ZOO in here...BUT good things have been happening. It is that time of year where new dresses are pouring in, which we love :) We have new Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, and Reem Acra!!! Follow us on twitter to check in on things as they arrive!

And as if new things aren't enough fun, we leave for New York on April 10th for market! Due to the scheduling of the runways shows (swoon) we will be closed on Saturday, April 10th, as well as Tuesday, April 13th, but it is all in the name of wedding gowns. If you need us for any reason, we will be on email so please contact us at bhughesbridalformal@gmail.com.
