Happy Holidays!

From the Vancouver Frocks girls!

CAUTION...Frocks Girls At Work!

...at work on a new window display! We couldn't wait to create our first window display at our new Main Street location - and since we're still under construction, we got a little creative! Here's a pic of our first Main Street window (Main Street store opens August 2nd).

DRESSES: From left to right - Lynn Lugo Tate dress, Thread Clara bridal dress (with removable skirt!), Kara Janx Dylan dress, and Jenny Yoo Reid dress.

All Dressed For Game Day!

Check out our new Frocks window! The girls at Frocks love the Canucks and want to show our support - maybe the window will inspire a win! Are you hooked on Canuck fever? Thinking about a theme wedding perhaps? Well we've got your colours!

Dresses from left to right: Jenny Yoo Dylan Dress in Emerald Green, Alfred Sung style D463 in Royal Blue, Lynn Lugo Dakota wedding dress (hiding under t-shirt!), Alfred Sung style D442 in Royal Blue, and lastly, Lynn Lugo Colleen dress with daisy mini skirt in Grass Green (one of my favourite colours!).

When you drive by Frocks, honk if you love the Canucks (and our window)!!!

Frocks Eggsighting Easter Window!

Inspiration can be found in the unlikeliest of places! While walking though Shoppers Drug Mart looking for my favourite mascara, a beautiful egg wreath caught my eye... and voila! A new Frocks window was born. Made out of natural twigs and adorned with delicate cloud blue and cream coloured eggs, the wreath made our window "Easter" without being too "Eastery"!

Dresses featured from left to right:
Jenny Yoo's Nanette dress in eastern silk shantung
Puchibi's flower girl Jackie dress in silk shantung
Ivy & Aster's popular "Dream A Little Dream" reception dress
Simple Silhouette's Gardinia dress in silk shantung
Puchibi's flower girl Jovana dress in silk shantung
Simple Silhouette's Calla dress in silk shantung

May you all have a wonderful Easter with your families!

Colour me red...

Happy Canada Day from all of us at Frocks! We've updated our window with some of our favourite frocks in festive red (poppy red, to exact). From left to right: Nina dress, Jackie flower girl dress by Puchibi, Jocelyn dress, Ella dress with Bianca bolero in Klauber lace (dresses by Jenny Yoo).

Red certainly isn't limited to those with July weddings. This gorgeous shade provides the basis for a chic backdrop for weddings of all seasons--it is classic on its own, paired with black, or other metallic colours (silver, gold, champagne and bronze). This season's issue of InStyle Weddings suggests a lush palette of mixed berries--imagine this juicy colour paired with blackberry, plum and raspberry for a rich look. We also love red as a jaunty foil for water colours--paired with colours such as aqua, it is kitchy and retro, and makes for a wonderful summer look.

Not only are we lucky to live in such a wonderful country, we have a timeless flag to boot!

Happy Canada Day!

Latest Frocks window revealed!

Our windows have been known to stop traffic (ok, maybe it's the traffic light) but they've always caused a bit of a stir with self-proclaimed fashion critics chiming in daily. So, to avoid any more traffic accidents, we've decided to post pictures of our current Frocks window display for all to view!

The window:

Featuring two of our top New York designers, Thread and Jenny Yoo, the dresses from left to right are:

1) Thread - Melanie Dress in lagoon silk taffeta, new mini length

2) Thread - Abbey Dress in plum silk taffeta, new mini length

3) Puchibi - Jackie Dress (flower girl) in off-white silk dupioni (Charsa sash in Lagoon)

4) Jenny Yoo - Ella Dress in off-white silk shantung with flower by Alice Hart

5) Thread - Liddy Dress in charcoal silk taffeta, new mini length

6) Jenny Yoo - Lucy Dress in teal silk taffeta

It can't go without mentioning that all the dresses have pockets! Besides the pockets, the only other similarity is the fabric, but the combination works because the colours are from the same family and tone (not always an easy task!). We typically suggest putting your girls in the same colour and fabric with different styles (to suit your girls' personalities and body types), but there's been a growing trend to put your bridesmaids in different colours too. If you decide to go this route, we recommend making sure the styles are not too different and, luckily for you, our designers have prepared for this trend by creating colour palettes that work well together - making your job a lot easier!

On a side note, the Liddy dress is getting lots of air time right now with its definite cocktail dress feel!

Another newsworthy dress is the Ella which has emerged as the "go to" short wedding dress (or even rehearsal dinner dress!).

If you would like to chime in on the current Frocks window (or even past windows) just comment on this post!

Until the next window...
