5280 Magazine’s Fashion Insider, Georgia Alexia Benjou, recently wrote about trends shaping the bridal industry today.
Of note, she talked about bridal gown designer, Jenny Packham, whose bridal line is only available to Colorado brides at Little White Dress.
Benjou says the yet-to-be-made remake of The Great Gatsby is already influencing fashion, as evidenced by Jenny Packham’s 1920′s vintage-inspired bridal collection.
You can read the full article here and learn about other bridal trends of note to Colorado brides in her article.
Don’t forget that Little White Dress is welcoming a bridal stylist from Jenny Packham this weekend (Feb. 24-26). She is bringing with her 25+ bridal gowns – all for Colorado brides to see and try on! Here are more details about the Jenny Packham bridal gown trunk show in Denver.
When a famous bridal designer comes to Denver, it’s a big deal. That’s why when Claire Pettibone graced the Rocky Mountains with her presence, not only did the Denver Post notice, but Reign Denver did too.
In its February 16, 2012 newsletter and blog, Reign featured Claire Pettibone’s visit to the Little White Dress Bridal Shop in Denver, Colorado, in an article titled, “The Claire Affair.”
And it was quite the affair to remember alright!
Click here to read the full scoop and see some amazing pictures captured during the Claire Pettibone bridal trunk show at Little White Dress. Remember, Little White Dress is the only bridal gown boutique in Colorado to carry Claire Pettibone bridal dresses.
Missed Claire Pettibone’s trunk show? Don’t worry, her collection will be back at Little White Dress August 3-5, 2012. Watch for details about this highly anticipated event on the Little White Dress events page.
Claire Pettibone says her 2012 styles were inspired by the French countryside, where she aimed to capture beautiful-yet-relaxed designs. Her dresses involve anything from cotton toile strapless dresses overlaid with embroidered tulle to a dress with a silk V-neckline and capped sleeves in lace. Her 2012 collection also incorporates hints of blue, gold and silver – all again inspired by the French countryside.

If so, you may have seen the gorgeous “Toile” gown by our lovely bridal design, Claire Pettibone, gracing the cover! (If not, grab a copy today – it’s a page-turner!)

And last, but most certainly not least, after ooh-ing and ahh-ing your way through the many breath-taking pages of Inside Weddings, you arrive at the “Discoveries” editorial pages, where they feature Claire’s romantic new array of delicate, hand-crafted lingerie – panties, bralettes, baby dolls and dressing robes fit for a queen – appropriately called the Claire Pettibone Heirloom Collection.
