January Trunk Shows at Twirl

January 13, 2012 in Twirl Announcements | No comments

Trunk Show Season is Here!

We couldn’t be more excited about our trunk shows the next two weekends!  What exactly is a trunk show you may ask??  Trunk shows are an opportunity for bridal stores to showcase more of a designer’s collection for a weekend.  We will have more colors, sizes, and styles than we usually stock for a particular designer…so it is a great time to shop and see more than is usually available.  

Remember…trunk shows mean special promotions on new orders as well! 

Jenny Yoo Collection Trunk Show: January 20-22

  The new Jenny Yoo Bridal and Bridesmaid Collection is amazing and we can’t wait to show you!  Join us the weekend of January 20-22, 2012 to see the new styles and colors not yet in stores!  

Check out this video to get a sneak peek of the new bridal line:  Jenny Yoo Bridal

New York Bridal Fashion Week 2011

October 19, 2011 in Just For Fun | No comments

 

Bridal Fashion Week is one of my favorite times all year!  In case you are not familiar with just what bridal fashion week is, here is a brief overview…all of the most fabulous wedding industry professionals gather in New York at the same time!  For example, we spotted the amazing wedding planner, Colin Cowie, and the stars of “Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta” at the same appointments we were attending!  This is the opportunity for designers to show their new collections for the upcoming year and talk to the stores that sell their lines and answer questions about what they foresee as the top sellers. 

We then get to come home with gorgeous photos to show our brides and bridesmaids!  Even though we have the photos, the actual dresses will not be in stores until January/February or later, depending on designer. 

In meeting with all of the Twirl Lexington designers, here are just a few trends we saw for 2012… 

Bridal:  

  • Lace and Swiss Dot!  The Jenny Yoo Collection really wowed us with their new bridal styles.  Two of my favorite dresses from the entire time I was in New York were by Jenny Yoo.   We also scouted several other bridal lines that you may see at Twirl in the future!

Lace, organza and taffeta Jenny Yoo Bridal Collection

Love the silhouette and the swiss dot...can't wait for this one to arrive!

Bridesmaids: 

  • A definite “Mad Men” vibe was felt in the styles of many of the more structured type dresses we saw.  Bows, ruffles and feminine details were everywhere! 
  • Soft, romantic chiffon dresses are also huge and the draping and detail were amazing.

Elizabeth & Matthew at Keeneland – Lexington, KY

When Elizabeth and her family first stepped into Twirl Lexington I could immediately tell they had impeccable taste and just exuded southern grace and charm.  I knew her wedding was going to be beautiful with her incredible color palette of charcoal and soft pink!  The photos certainly prove that…

Elizabeth and Matthew were married May 28, 2011 at Central Christian Church with the reception being held at the Keene Barn at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Ky.  The couple first met at as students at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina.  They both served as upperclassman staff on freshmen residence halls and began an instant friendship.  After spending many hours studying in the library together, they finally went on their first date and the rest is history!

Above all, they wanted their wedding to be a celebration!  Elizabeth and Matt both grew up in small towns, but eventually ended up in bigger cities. They wanted their wedding style to reflect both small town roots and big city flair and they pulled it all together with the help of Great Expectations.

Congratulations, Elizabeth and Matthew!  Twirl Lexington wishes you a lifetime of happiness!

Check it off your list – When to buy attire for your wedding

September 12, 2011 in Bridesmaid Tips and Advice | No comments

Almost daily at Twirl Lexington we are asked, “when should I order my wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses?”  While there are many factors that go into this decision, our advice is to do it as soon as you know it is the one!  Below are the top three reasons why you order when you know what you want.

  • Delivery Time Varies:  Most of the bridal gown designers we offer at Twirl Lexington have a four to six month delivery time.  Most of the bridesmaid designers we offer have a three to four month delivery time.  Of course, this all can change on a moment’s notice, especially during busy ordering times!  This is just one reason to go ahead and order when you decide it is the one…to avoid stressful delays caused by unforeseen events such as weather delays, fabric mills running behind, and even Chinese New Year (for those produced overseas).
  • Discontinued Fabrics/Colors:  Retailers are not given much notice on discontinuation of colors and fabrics.  If you have your heart set on a certain color…order it before it is gone.  This recently happened with one of our designers due to the fabric mill they used not producing the fabric any longer. 
  • Peace of Mind: You have the dress of your dreams with plenty of time to spare for alterations!  You can check your wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses off the list and move on to planning more fun details for your big day!

So, go ahead, choose your dress, set up a fun bridesmaid fitting party at Twirl Lexington and take it off your long list of To Do’s before your I Do’s!

Happy Shopping!
