Awesome MOB and MOG's

It seems like the last couple of months we've been catering to some moms who are over the frumpy looking Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses available in Ottawa. We have recently sold some fabulous gowns (technically they are bridesmaid dresses) to some very hip mommy's!

Originally, I wanted to bring in a M.O.B and M.O.G. line but wasn't sure what would and wouldn't work. I obviously didn't want to do what has been done a million times before so I thought I would wait and see if these BM dresses would take off as evening gowns.

Let's face it, some moms just need a change! The dresses that they are buying at
Mia Bridal Co. are understated and elegant, rich, and contemporary. The are not over the top and not super traditional. They are classic silhouettes in gorgeous colours at affordable prices.
Just because you are marrying off your son or daughter does not mean you have to sport what is traditionally expected of you!

I'd like to thank all the moms that have purchased from Mia Bridal Co. thus far. You rock!

Wedding Channel Couture Show

I am so excited to head to New York for the weekend of April 3-5th. The who's who of designers in the bridal industry will be there to showcase the Fall 2009 collection!
I've had the pleasure of going once right before I opened the salon in order to network and
secure my designers.

This time, I get to go as a real buyer! I'll be seeing fashion shows from all of my designers and I can't wait to see what they unveil this time around.

I'm sure most of my bridal gown designers will introduce more 'cocktail-length' bridal gowns as that trend is pretty hot right now. I also expect to see some very competitive pricing (due to the recession looming) while always maintaining the quality and luxury of the couture designs that I and so many brides have fallen in love with. As for the bridesmaid lines, I expect to see more beautiful and modern knee-length dresses.

Here's more info on the designers we carry here at the salon; www.miabridalco.com

This type of trip is short and very fast paced but worth every minute.

I must confess that I hope to do a little shopping for good ol' moi!

And I know I will most definitely enjoy a couple of really nice restaurants too ;)

Ciao for now.
