'Tis the Season! FREE Photography

When Frank Sinatra said, "the best things in life are free", he must have been talking about this. Angela Hubbard, wedding photographer extraordinaire has been touched by the spirit of giving and is running an INCREDIBLE contest. If you have an inspiring story or have overcome the odds, and need a photographer, the stars may have just aligned. Angela is running a contest and the winner will be chosen to have her shoot their wedding for free. There are other perks too, including make-up by the fabulous Hayley Miller and flowers by the Flower Factory. Don't wait though, this contest ends in a week!

For details, see Angela's Blog.

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
