Pleased to meet you

Simple is best - these 3 pieces proved the most popular at the show.

This weekend saw us exhibiting at our first National Wedding Show at London Olympia. It was a great weekend where I got to meet lots of lovely brides to be at different stages in their planning journey. I really enjoyed being able to impart some of my knowledge and advice to them and introducing them to new ideas. And I am really excited by the upcoming appointments that have been booked and enquiries which have started to come in on the back of meeting brides at this show.

It was also amazing to see our hair accessories being used to accessorise the entire Sottero & Midgley scene on the catwalk show. It really brought a lump to the throat as they came down the catwalk looking fabulous with the beautiful gowns chosen. I am waiting on the official catwalk images to arrive and look forward to being able to share those with you.

Apart from the pieces above which proved a hit with the majority of brides who wanted something simple and elegant the following designs and ideas also went down well.

All of our floral based designs were really popular and we had comments ranging from simple, elegant, different, classy, pretty and classic about them. This is great because a range of designs using these flowers will be launched in the next few weeks.

We always pride ourselves in our ability to come up with hair accessory solutions for alot of our brides and recently our headchains have proved to be a really big hit. And at the show this interest continued with them winning over even the most diehard "I don't want a hair accessory" brides. The advantage of these pieces is that they can be as long as you like, as decorative as you like and they can be woven into the hair, worn as a headband (without any sore bands digging in), wrapped around buns...the options are endless. And the best bit is that after the wedding we can convert these long strands into necklaces and bracelets for you. Not only fantastically pretty and versatile but fantastic value for money.

But apart from meeting so many lovely people at the show we also ran a little competition to win an exclusively designed tiara or hair accessory worth up to £250. And I have the very great pleasure of announcing the winner to be:

Rebecca Snook

We have contacted Rebecca and look forward to designing and creating the perfect tiara or accessories for her.

There are some very exciting things going on at Tiararama over the nex few months so watch this space!

Until next time.....

To see some of the gowns that our hair accessories were teamed with on the catwalk show visit Sottero and Midgley for some exquisite designs.

8 is the magic number

Will this piece feature?

Well Tiararama Towers erupted this afternoon in a melange of emotions ranging from sheer excitement and pride to kick in the stomach panic. You see we received an email requesting 8 of our pieces to be submitted for the catwalk at the National Wedding Show, London Olympia (Friday 19th to Sunday 21st February 2010).

Obviously we are incredibly honoured and excited by this but the reality of the hole 8 pieces will leave in our exhibit has really hit home.....hence the panic!

But like every challenge we face we are proud of being able to say that we will meet it and for this fabulous opportunity I will gladly forgo sleep!

So I suppose you want to know which pieces have been selected.....well for once I have to keep this under wraps simply because some are part of our new collections which won't be seen until the show itself and some are one offs. I guess I will just have to say that if you want to see them then you will have to come to the show and see them in action. For times of the catwalk shows see here .

Once the show is over I will post pictures of the pieces used and if you did get to see them in action on the catwalk then I would love to know what you thought about them.

So until next time.....

Making an exhibition of ourselves

It's February 2010 - a month which seemed years away in June 2009 when I signed up to exhibit at the National Wedding Show at London Olympia.

But here we are and all the hard work we have been putting in to show our services off over the last few months is all coming together.

So if you find yourselves in London between Friday 19th February and Sunday 21st February and you want to come and see us, we will be exhibiting on stand C31. We will be there to show you some examples of our unique styling and ideas and to introduce our Couture Service to you. I will be available personally on all three days to discuss ideas with you and tell you about how Tiararama can design and create the perfect tiara and bridal accessories for you.

BREAKING NEWS:For another reason to come and see us read our new blog entry 8 is the magic number

All of the products we will be showing will be available to buy or order on the day either as you see them or they can be customised to meet your requirements. Or you can simply book an appointment or email consultation (for those of you who cannot come and visit us personally) to discuss your own exclusive and unique tiara or hair accessory designs which not only meet your requirements but are guaranteed to suit you as a person and reflect your personality.

And there will also be some added bonuses. First of all if you book an appointment/email consultation over the 3 days you will receive 10% off any order you place following our discussions.

And we also have a very exciting prize draw. You will also have the opportunity to win your very own £250 tiara or hair accessory which I will design exclusively for you. All you have to do is fill out your details on a postcard and I will be drawing out the lucky winner on Tuesday February 23rd. The lucky winner will be announced on this blog on Tuesday February 23rd 2010 and they will be notified by telephone or email either on that day or on Wednesday February 24th 2010.

We are really excited about this event and I look forward to welcoming all of our visitors over these three days.
