I don’t know about all of you, but for me it seems like summer and fall are high season for wedding showers & weddings. Many of my friends and family are at the age where the next big step, outside of graduating college or moving out on their own, is getting married! Now, I’m a bit of an old school sentimental kind of girl and a big wedding with a white dress and all the trimmings always seems to tug at my heart strings.
When it comes to fashion, though, the season is proving to be very fruitful with amazing bridal wear trends and fabulous designer looks at reasonable prices. With the Royal Wedding still fresh in everyone’s minds, Kate has definitely inspired a ton of bridal fashion trends and many designers are bring royal fashion to the masses. The everyday girl can wear couture gowns, but the difficulty lies in finding the perfect fit at the perfect price. While they don’t come cheap, they definitely won’t be in the ballpark of the McQueen that Kate wore. Yet, you will get a high quality garment designed with all your needs in mind.
If you are on the hunt for that perfect gown, the CFTE has gotten wind of the must attend trunk show of the Season! The #1 Bridal Boutique in the Midwest, Volle’s Bridal and Boutique just announced that the one-of-a-kind bridal boutique will be featuring couture wedding designerJim Hjelm’s Bridal Collection Trunk Show on the weekend of July 14-July 17 at their location Lake Zurich location: 53 S. Old Rand Road.
Hours as follows: Monday, Friday and Saturday’s 10am-5pm; Tuesday and Thursdays from 12pm-9pm; Sunday’s 11am-3pm; closed on Wednesdays.
Jim Hjelm’s SP/2012 bridal collection will be showcased (designed by Francesca Pitera) and feature luxurious fabrics and delicate embroidery on prêt-a-porter silhouettes giving the collection a unique image of traditional with a modern edge. The line is extremely diverse and works with all body types and styles. Designer Francesca Pitera definitely looks to embody the idea of feeling like royalty within the line.
Francesca Pitera takes pride in creating gowns that will transform each bride into a fairy tale princess on her big day. “Each dress has its own individual look and special details,” she says. “Every little thing is important, even the placement of embroidery or the way draping falls over a gown’s bodice.” The trunk show is definitely worth adding to your schedule for July!
