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.

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.
