    Wedding Dress Designer Weekends West Midlands

    What is a Wedding Dress Designer trunk show?

    A trunk show features a particular designer’s collection, usually featuring their newest collection and it is the perfect opportunity to view and try brand new dresses before they are available in any stores. A trunk show is a unique opportunity with TDR providing a unique and personal experience.

    What are the benefits?

    Trunk shows are one of the most exciting events in bridal and they are certainly not to be missed by ANY bride!

    Throughout the duration of our trunk shows there will be price incentives, so please ensure you bring those who are crucial to assist you in making your final decision and look forward to receiving the best possible price.

    How long do they last?

    Trunk shows will be WEEKEND ONLY and one trunk show will last the duration of one weekend.

    How do they work at TDR?

    During trunk shows we will work by our usual appointment system, meaning it will be a first come first serve system and due to limited availability please ensure you book in advance to avoid disappointment. Brides are welcome to try on any other gowns in store alongside the trunk show collection.

    We will be posting regular updates about our forthcoming trunk shows so make sure you keep an eye out to ensure you do not miss out!!!!

    See you soon!

  • Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    Oh wow!  Just not back down to earth yet but got to tell you our news!

    We have just won The Wedding Industry Awards Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands for THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING!!

    This Award is like no other. It’s tough, really tough…It’s voted for by our brides, only those married within the last year, who have genuinely been a TDR Bride.

    Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    So no, “click and vote” here folks, this is the real deal.  Every bride has to register with TWIA, give us marks out of 10 on many different aspects of our service and then make comments at the end. We don’t get to see these comments or votes until the very end, after the winners in each category have been announced, all we know is how many votes we’ve had and who they’re off.

    Because we have won the West Midlands heat, we are off to London in January 2018 for the National Finals! Last year we got Highly Commended in the National Finals so we’re keeping everything crossed for 2018!

    Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    We never forget though that none of this would be possible without our amazing brides who trust us with the most importance dress they will ever wear, and for that we are truly grateful.

  • Best Bridal Retailer but can you believe it! I didn’t do my hair!

    Best Bridal Retailer but can you believe it! I didn’t do my hair!

    The biggest event of the bridal industry is the Harrogate Bridal Show where the very best Designers in the Industry from across the World along with almost every Bridal store in the UK and Ireland and hundred of overseas visitors gather together to do business and buy from the following years new collections. We were in the running for Best Bridal Retailer.

    I love this show more than any other…well…(maybe Barcelona has the edge on the weather!) but really it is a truly magnificent Trade show where I am inspired, many times overwhelmed and always in awe at the choice and designs created. Exquisite laces, soft tulles and stunning crisp silks in abundance make for heady displays which we must be really focused with and not get carried away by. Always with my brides in my minds eye, I buy collections from the very best in the industry, Mori Lee, Ronald Joyce, Sottero & Midgley, Justin Alexander, Mooshski and Enzoani.

    There are many social events happening over this 3-day, 4 night event, the most exciting for all bridal shop owners being The Bridal Buyer Awards, hosted at the Harrogate Convention Centre, this black tie event attracts hundreds of guests, not just retailers but suppliers, designers and the media.

    The finalists had been announced a few months before and I’m delighted to say The Dressing Rooms was up there! In my mind, we really were playing with the big boys so there was no way little old me from Halesowen had got a chance, but it was an absolute honour to have been shortlisted, so I was more than happy with that.

    I was so busy that day, working, buying, concentrating, dashing from one designer to the next, trying to cram in as much as possible to get the most out of my time there, that I just didn’t have time to get ready for a 7pm start. So, a quick dash back to our apartment, a wash, a bit of makeup and a clean frock and I was off to the Awards.The Dinner was lovely and much need after such a busy day and then the Awards began.

    One announcement later…. OH MY DAYS!!!!! TOTAL SHOCK!!!

    Best Bridal Retailer ENGLAND – The Dressing Rooms Halesowen

    Best Bridal Retailer 2017 Best Bridal Retailer 2017

    Well, I can honestly say, I really never expected that! I do my bridal thing every day because I love what I do, I have THE BEST TEAM and its down to them that this happened.

  • Wedding Dress Alterations – Seamstress Service

    Wedding Dress Alterations – Seamstress Service

    You have found your dream dress, it is perfect for you – the style, the colour, the cut – suit you down to the ground. It is right at the top end of your budget, but hey that’s fine as it is THE ONE and the only other things you need are your wedding accessories and shoes, right?

    Wrong.

    The Importance of a Good Seamstress

    It is true that you don’t need to buy any other items to add to your wedding dress, however you may need something taken away from your dress or even put in – additional material.

    It is vital you budget for wedding dress alterations, every wedding dress will or should need to be altered to fit you perfectly. This is where the importance of a good seamstress comes to the forefront.

    We are not all the same size, yet dresses come in standard sizes – x cm around the bust, x cm at the waist, x cm at the hips. We aren’t made to these exact measurements and even if you are lucky enough to be a perfect size 12 for waist and hips, your bust measurements could be out. Unless you want the most expensive dress you ever buy to fit “not quite right but it will do” then always budget for wedding dress alterations.

    For wedding dress alterations by a qualified professional seamstress, you should budget for around £200 – anything less is a bonus.

    When you buy probably the most expensive and luxurious dress you will ever wear it needs to fit like a kid leather glove made especially for you.

    Here are our top tips when looking considering wedding dress alterations:

    • Make sure that the Seamstresses work on site and the dress stay onsite
    • Don’t just go to aunty flos kichen for a bit of sewing while she cooks a stew! Wedding alterations are an art and a skill and take years to perfect.
    • All dresses arrive with us in a standard length, it is important to have the shoes for the wedding day so that we can get the perfect length for you.
    • Invest in a good strapless bra. Once the dress is warm from your body heat the structure inside softens. A decent bra will give that little bit of extra support and you will not end up with that awful crease under the bust or keep tugging the dress up all day.

    When a dress is fitted by a Qualified, Fully Trained Seamstress you will feel like it’s your second skin, and a perfect wedding dress will be transformed into YOUR perfect wedding dress.

    Have you go any other hints and tips you found handy when you were getting your dress altered? I would love to hear them and share them with our brides.

    Until next time…

    Accept nothing less than perfection.
