Our lovely brides. . .

Here are some beautiful shots to inspire. These were all customers of our Calgary store who chose Tricia Howatt as their photographer. It sure was a wise choice! Check out her beautiful collection of images. We love it when photographers and customers send us photos. Keep them coming.

frocks takes the cake!

Sorry for the silence, but we've been busy, busy, busy with wedding shows! Brock House and Creme de la Creme photos will be posted shortly.

Despite the busy show season, our window is still catching the eye of passers-by thanks to April Cakes. What better complement to our black and white dress window than STUNNING wedding cakes! Not only does April Cakes create the perfect wedding cake to match your wedding style, they also offer cake decorating classes and custom cakes for any occasion you can imagine.

If you don't know fondant from butter cream, call April Cakes to walk you through it. You'll be on your way to creating the yummiest piece of art you've ever seen. The only hard part will be cutting into it for that must-have wedding photo!

The Nola is in Vancouver!

The long awaited and much anticipated Nola has arrived in Vancouver. Many wedding planners have asked us to let them know when it was in because their clients were eagerly waiting its arrival. It's beautiful, simple lines and luxurious fabric make it the ultimate destination bridal gown or, when ordered in colour, a sought-after formal bridesmaids' gown. We have already filled many orders for this dress even without it in the store, so we're thrilled to finally have it for all to see, feel, and try on!

The Nola (by Jenny Yoo) can only be ordered until the end of this year, so if you're hoping to wear this dress for any 2010 occasions, please book an appointment soon to confirm your order.

Also, any grads hoping to wear this gown should order quickly - only one order per school!

Calgary bridal expo!

Our booth is set to go for tomorrow's (September 27th) bridal expo at the Roudup Centre, Stampede Park, Calgary. It's the biggest fall bridal show in Calgary and is on from 10 - 5pm. We're thrilled to be a part of it for our first time this year and would love for you to drop by our booth to say hi!

We have typically shied away from big bridal shows like this in favour of more intimate boutique-style shows, but have decided to just see how it goes. If you've got any thoughts on these types of shows, we'd love to hear them.

If you have any comments or suggestions on our booth and presentation at this year's show, please let us know by email at owners@frocks.ca

ladies in red

Emily wed her beau, Sander Duncanson in Calgary at The Ranche in Fish Creek Park on August 22, 2009. The day was captured by Corrina Walker Photography.

This wedding is proof that, even when surrounded by 6 STUNNING ladies, a bride can still stand out and, dare we say, steal the show! The key is choosing a colour that makes you pop. Whether it's navy, chocolate brown, pink, teal or red, a white wedding dress never looks more beautiful than when it's placed between vibrant bridesmaids dresses (and, of course, worn by a gorgeous bride!)

Emily and her girls look fabulous and timeless thanks to the great colour and styles chosen by this stylish bride and her amazing group of bridesmaids. Emily let her girls choose their own styles from Jenny Yoo's Silk Shantung collection in poppy red. They were a pleasure to work with and the look came together beautifully. We can't take all the credit though, look at these girls!?

Partying in platinum

We just had to post these pics we received from one of our Calgary brides, Kristina. She had a vision for her wedding from the get go and pulled it off beautifully on August 15th of this year when she married her beau, Ryan.

Her girls look stunning in Jenny Yoo 'Rachel' frocks!
