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!

MORE DATES RELEASED IN THE NEW YEAR!

15/12/2017
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.

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!

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.

National Wedding Show Birmingham

It’s that time of the year again! We are off to meet thousands of new brides at the NEC Birmingham for The National Wedding Show.

We just love this show because there’s so much variety and choice, not just for wedding dresses, but cakes, venues, wedding rings, bridesmaids, Mother of The Bride Outfits, Prosecco Bars, Wedding Stationery, Room Settings, florists, you name it… it’s there!

We usually take around 150 dresses from our new collections, so you can be sure to see our newest designs. Brides often say we’re one of the nicest stands to visit as we’re all so happy doing our thing!

We will be on the catwalk with our amazing exclusive NOYA Collection by Rikki Dalal too, so you can really see what all the hype is about.

We don’t expect you to buy at the show, you need to come into store and see what we’re all about before you part with your hard-earned cash. We are proud RBA members, assuring you of our expertise and business acumen too, so you know you are in safe hands.

Look forward to seeing you there!

World’s Biggest Coffee Morning

We had a fab fun time at The Dressing Rooms on Friday with coffee and cakes galore cooked by ourselves and our fabulous brides!

The bunting was out, the table was laid, the cakes were ready for our Macmillan Coffee morning.

Proud to have done our bit for such an amazing charity raising £118.56 to go to such a worthwhile cause, close to our hearts. Well done to everyone who attended and thank you so much for the recipes!

We will definitely be using them next year!

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

The Dressing Rooms Halesowen – announced as Best Bridal Retailer ENGLAND!! By my peers!! This was just totally unexpected!! I can’t even begin to explain to you how shocked, delighted, overwhelmed, amazed I was!! The first words out of my mouth? … “I didn’t do my hair!”

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. Their hard work and dedication to TDR Brides is unmeasurable, they’re a crazy lovely beautiful fun loving hardworking totally committed bunch of ladies who I am truly thankful for every single day.

I have learnt only this…. Rebecca! For goodness sake! Next time… DO YOUR HAIR!!
