Farewell to Sunny Europe

Well my time in Europe has come to an end with a well deserved break in Hong Kong. Just hoping our Australian summer is no where near as hot and humid as Spain and Hong Kong. It is always fantastic to touchdown at Sydney. 

Am looking forward to designing some Mantillas for our store and helping the brides place them in their correct position however showing what little twists you can do with them.

Hair Flowers are definitely in fashion for this summers brides. Hair is soft with large flowers being placed on the nape of the neck. You can even place two flowers together.  Large earrings are also looking good. 

Well I am back now so it's back to long hours shopping for new products and getting ready for the very busy wedding season coming up soon. Hope to see you instore soon.

cheers

Wollongong Bridal Expo 2007

Well the Wollongong Bridal Expo went off with a Bang. We had a fabulous response to our new range of Gee Gee Gowns with Suzie G herself attending the expo and giving her professional advice to all that enquired. The fashion parade was great with the Ruby and Clementine gowns having fantastic feedback. Both these gowns are made from silk and come in a variety of colours. They will be featured on our website shortly. We will have a link shortly to photos from the 2007 Mercury Bridal Expo. 

New Gowns

Check out our new gowns from Anastasia Collections in Western Australia. Web site will be updated shortly with pictures and descriptions. 

Hello from Spain's Costa Del Sol

Hi all. This is Yolanda tuning in from Spain. The weather here is hot hot hot and the tan is happening. Been doing lots if sight seeing as well as family bonding. Spain is full of the latest fashions and trends and there seems to be an aweful lot of yellow and polka dots everywhere. 

Accessories are everywhere. Big chunky necklaces as well as long dangly earrings and hoops. Layers of silver bracelets are also the latest trend along with foot/toe bracelets and ring/wrist bracelets. 

Formal gowns are very printed with soft florals and colours. Wedding Gowns are flouncy and soft. From gorgeous laces to softest chiffons layered in a frilled manner. Crystals are not as pronounced as they have been in the past with emphasis more on accessories and gorgeous mantilla veils. Spain is renown for its mantillas as well as Peinetas. They are a type of comb protruding from your hair , either in the side of the head or on the back.

White is very in.  Looks great with a summer tan or a beach wedding.

Stay tuned for more updates from sunny Spain.

cheers

What a fantastic day had by all. The interest in our gorgeous display was absolutely amazing. All 7 staff members worked extremely hard all day. We congratulate all our staff and customers for the overwhelming success of the day and for the patience from all our customers.  

Our designers were on board and it was wonderful for them to meet and speak to our customers. Our commitment in offering our customers personal and friendly service made the day so fabulous. 

The fashion parade was fantastic fun. This was a first for cheboom and whilst our bellies were turning and tossing with "first time" nerves, our models elegantly graced the cat walk.
