First things first

STAND NUMBER F23

WHERE – OLYMPIA WEDDING SHOW – LONDON

BREAKING NEWS – WEDDING SHOES WILL BE ARRIVING !!!!!

Yes the title is correct, we are finally taking the plunge after 7 years, we have set a big budget for 2012 to enable us to participate in various events including the fabulous Olympia Wedding Show on the 24th – 26th February 2012. We didn’t want a small stand that we could only fit a few wedding shoes in, if we had our way we would have taken our whole showroom however the cost of space to fit our wonderful centrepiece escalated slightly however fear not we have another exciting concept up our sleeve to display our beautiful wedding shoes and bridesmaid dresses

We have also decided to commit to this event year on year as the UK’s leading and trusted wedding shoe and accessory supplier on line, we’re a family business, we care about your wedding and we feel it is important that our name supports these wonderful events of which has no fewer than 16,000 visitors over the three days (i forsee 4 very knackered ladies).

So what will we be showcasing, will the brides be able to try things on? I know these are all questions you will be asking so lets get down to what you can expect from Girls Of Elegance and their team this year.

1. No less than 125 or 150 styles of wedding shoes on the day.

2. Every bridesmaids dress style along with colour swatches and photographs of our own models wearing every colour so you can touch and feel every fabric and colour.

3. Accessories, stunning exclusive tiaras and jewellery (a small selection)

4. 4 very friendly members of staff (including myself or should I say the boss)

5. A favourable promotion over the event.

6. Our returns and exchange policy will still stand after the event.

7. We will try our very best to bring a size pack for each wedding shoe brand so even though we may not have the shoe in your size to try we will have another shoe in the brands sizing which should give you a correct indication of fit.

8. 4 great big smiles, informal dress and of course we will all be wearing a pair of the shoes we promote. You can expect to see me in these

9. A small selection of dyed wedding shoes particularly for the mother of the bride who may be attending.

10. The launch of our exclusive wedding planning journal which you will be able to take away on the day for only £20.00, (I just hope we bring enough), this book is a must have, featuring every element to planning you wedding including a budget planner, reception planner, address book and ALOT more.

Now onto the next question – which wedding shoe brands will you be promoting?

We’re going to try our very best to bring all of the brands that we supply however to give you an indication of which brands will definitly be showcased, here they are and an overview of them and why we have chosen them.

Rainbow Club – As a top stockist for Rainbow Club this only proves their popularity. Beautiful affordable wedding shoes renowned in the industry for their extreme comfort, yes we will be bringing all of them !

Else – Another offering from the wonderful Rainbow Club, a small affordable collection made from the softest satin, very popular styles within this small collection, yes we will be bringing every single one!

Pink By Paradox – One of the largest selections that we sell, Pink has been a key seller for our brides for the last 7 years, we started with Pink by Paradox London in 2004 and are now considered one of their very best customers. We adore this brand for fine lines, attention to detail, comfort and affordability, will we be bringing them all? YES

Belle – A stunning silk mid budget range of wedding shoes, beautifully classy and comfortable to wear, Belle was a new brand a few years ago and its popularity is growing quickly. Shall I say it again? Yes we will be bringing all of them.

Benjamin Adams – Cue squeals of excitements for those of you reading this, the beautiful, stunning, sparkly Benjamin Adams wedding shoes are just the epitome of the bridal industry, many awards have been received, many brides want to wear them and yes I shall be wearing my Charlize on one of the days without fail. They are my favourite, they will be taking centre stage within our (secret) display and you brides will be forming an orderly queue to purchase them Oh and before we forget we will definitly be showcasing every Benjamin Adams wedding shoe for you.

Other brands that will also be making a statement on the day are: -

Meadows – We’ll be bringing a small selection of the most popular styles from this collection.

Rainbow Couture – We will be bringing all of this wonderful small couture collection of wedding shoes.

Charlotte Balbier & Amanda Wyatt Hair Accessories – our most popular hair flowers and tiaras.

Now onto what we feel will be a very exciting stage for us at GOE, we’ve sold wedding shoes for over 7 years now, we pretty much know our brands inside and out and most importantly after speaking to over 50,000 brides since our launch we feel we understand what brides are looking for, the requirements for wedding shoes are now so diverse, some brides want nothing fussy just something plain, some brides want full on bling either way there is room in the industry for a huge range of styles and of course more brands who care.

February 2012 will see the launch of our own small collection of wedding shoes which after 6 months of designing we’re finally underway with their production, Whats the brand going to be called we hear you cry? We decided upon the names “Era Bridal” and “Era Boutique” and we love it !!!! (no links yet as it is a surprise you see) Why did we decide upon those names? Personally I have a mini fascination with all things from previous eras, I love to sit with my grandparents and hear all about their weddings in the 1920′s, what the trends were (wedges if you are interested) what the brides wore not to mention my fascination with their lives in general.

I don’t think I am the only person to love sitting with their grandparents hearing their stories so we felt that although eras may be gone, they certainly should not be forgotten, our range of wedding shoes will be focusing on the eras however putting our very own up to date modern twist on them. The Era Bridal range will be extremely affordable for those budget savvy brides and Era Boutique will feature more “bling” in the form of estonian swarovski. I’m not saying anymore except we cannot wait to show you our shoes, if ours are not for you, we have no doubt that one of the other fabulous brands that we sell and continue to support 200% will be.

This time next year Rodders !!!!

Now onto the bridesmaids dresses you will be able to see. ALL of our bridesmaid dresses are under £90.00

50′s style short bridesmaid dresses – Our 50′s bridesmaids dresses have been our top seller for the past 5 years, with no fewer than 15 colours we are sure that this affordable bridesmaids dress at a bargainous price of £69.99 will appeal to many at the show.

50′s style short bridesmaid dresses With Bow – A modern twist to our most popular design featuring an oversized bow with diamante detailing. A beautiful addition introduced in 2011 is already proving extremely popular.

50′s style long bridesmaid dresses with bow – Same as above but our floor length version.

Grecian Short & Grecian Long Bridesmaid Dresses – This beautiful addition to our collection is a simple grecian style available in two length, short and floor length, we have seen the popularity soar for these bridesmaid dresses.

Sweetheart Bridesmaid Dress – A best seller for 2011 so far and sure to be the biggest seller for 2012, a chiffon overlay sweetheart neckline bridesmaid dress with beautiful diamante brooch to the centre. We adore this dress.

What we love about our bridesmaid dresses is that they can be worn time and time again after the event making them an affordable choice for the budget savvy bride.

We want you to feel comfortable approaching our stand, there shall be lots of laughs along the way no doubt and of course service that is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.

Most importantly please visit our page on facebook and twitter to keep up to date with what we are doing.

We very much look forward to meeting you xxxx

SAVE THE DATE – STAND F23 – 24TH – 26TH FEBRUARY 2012

Which brand of wedding shoes should you select for your wedding day shoes? Well that is a difficult one to be honest as there are quite a few fabulous brands of wedding shoes around but here is an overview of them.

The Pink By Paradox wedding shoes by Paradox London were the first brand we approved to sell via our store and certainly take centre stage in terms of popularity, we believe that this is due to the chic city styling, fabulous prices and with no fewer than 50 styles to choose from, they clearly are the leader in terms of assisting brides with the purchase of their wedding shoes.
Pink By Paradox wedding shoes offer the bride a fabulous range of styles including slingback, closed toe, closed back, vintage styles, peep toe, bows, flat shoes, mid heel, low heel right through to high heel wedding shoes.

The Pink By Paradox brand is young, fun and trendy offering a broad range of styles to suit the bride, bridesmaid & mother of the bride.

Pink styling is influenced very much by catwalk fashion trends, which are then translated into elegant and comfortable satin bridal shoes at a cost effective price for all.

Belle wedding shoes by Paradox London were introduced several years ago as an addition to their already successful collections, this mid budget range of wedding shoes are perfect for those wanting a silk wedding shoe but without the couture or boutique pricing.

This brand of wedding shoes is made from the finest ivory or white dyeable silk and has a fabulous range of fashionable styles to choose from. We feel the Belle By Paradox London collection is just perfect for those having silk bridal gowns. Peep toe wedding shoe styles certainly appears frequently throughout this wedding shoe brand.

Belle by Paradox London is a luxury handcrafted footwear collection that captures prevailing catwalk trends and unique crystal pieces to create a collection which is fundamentally unique. Belle by Paradox London encompasses lavish silk and alluring crystals which is combined with unique in-built comfort gel pads and soft leather lining to create a shoe which is not only chic but also comfortable.

Designed and created with beautiful crystals and embellishments along with the Belle By Paradox signature insoles, soft leather lining, shoe sizing from 2 – 10 and of course a few styles available in wide fitting, we can see why this award was given. Personally our sweetheart long bridesmaid dress seems to be very popular to compliment the range.

The Benjamin Adams wedding shoe collection never fails to excite us here at Girls Of Elegance Limited, admittedly they are probably one of our favourite collections that we sell but there are many reason why. The first being swarovski, who doesn’t adore the ultimate sparkly that these crystals create?, teamed perfectly with both classic simple wedding dresses and of course those with plenty of sparkles to compliment. Let us tell you a little about them.

Benjamin Adams footwear was born to create luxurious and unique bridal footwear. They are glamorous, alluring and each piece has been created with a signature brand identity which is recognised fully as Benjamin Adams. Each design is striking, different and the luxury achieved through the intricate detailing and research into the ultimate of wedding shoe trends and trims. The head designer for the collection Alessandro Pavan who has worked with many leading italian brands has set out and succeeded in creating a luxury footwear range with using only the very finest chosen materials and stunning duchesse silk available.

The Benjamin Adams Wedding Shoes collection of which Girls Of Elegance Limited are an official platinum stockist are certainly worthy of A-list status and we are thrilled and proud that we as a company were awarded within the first two years this status as a leading seller of the brand for them.

The collection consists of approx 25 different wedding shoe styles with many strong influences year on year on various trends particularly vintage trims, platforms and elegant peep toes. The styles feature beautiful swarovski embellishments, brooch frontage designs and a fabulous range of comfortable heel heights.

In particular the Benjamin Adams wedding shoes collections feature a signature crystal adjustable buckle for those shoes requiring it, no stone was left unturned when this collection is revamped year after year. Soft cushioned insoles, leather linings and beautiful design and trims, what more could a bride ask for.

For Rainbow Club, their collections are so much more than just a wedding shoe. In their words it’s about a passion to provide beautiful, aspirational designs that are comfortable and really fit like a glove. Rainbow Club have been providing beautiful wedding shoes since 1986 and are completely dedicated to producing the best and are one of the most trusted wedding shoe companies in the industry.

All of the Rainbow Club wedding shoes are exclusively designed in house and then handmade using the very best components from guaranteed dyeable satins and swarovski buckles and embellishments. They also offer a very favourable price bracket of normally no more than £79.00. The pure ivory collection features a stunning small collection with fashion forward designs and flamboyant finishes. Imagine vintage chic and the pure ivory collection is probably for you.

One thing that really captures our eye with the Rainbow Club brand is their dedication to shoe photography, we love that they not only focus on close up detailing of the shoes themselves but their lifestyle photography really is beautiful and we love to showcase this via the Girls Of Elegance website wherever we can.

The +fit collection is perfect for those brides or any member of the bridal party who requires a shoe which is in the wider fitting, there are a beautiful collection of wedding shoes available in the wide fitting. The bliss collection combines classic styles with a generous fit, padded linings and spongey latex underfoot, which gives the guarantee of extreme comfort.

The Rainbow Club wedding handbags work perfectly for all of their bridal shoes.

Else wedding shoes are a gorgeous collection that showcases everything from fashionable short points to platforms and t-bar sandals.

All of the Else wedding shoes including the Miss Else collection not only look beautiful but have soft linings to ensure extreme comfort for precious feet. We are thrilled also to promote that every Else and Miss Else styles are hand coloured free of charge to your own unique shade making Else wedding shoes the perfect choice for weddings, proms or indeed any special occasion.

The Else wedding shoe collections are available in Ivory Satin or indeed can be dyed from jelly bean green to sugar almond pink, either way you the bride can choose. Whether it’s a formal wedding, glamorous evening or summer garden party your shoes can be expertly hand dyed free of charge by the dedicated studio artists.

We showcase the capabilites of the Else wedding shoes via our website as much as we can and we are truly dedicated to the brand as much as the creators, beautifully stylish, affordable and comfortable, the perfect combination we feel.

Our short bridesmaids dresses would certainly compliment this inexpensive range perfectly. We are dedicated in ensuring we are a one stop shop for all of your wedding accessory needs, our customer service team is always here to listen and assist with any enquiry that you have.

Rainbow Club in 2011 awarded Girls Of Elegance Limited and our sister companies 1st For Wedding Shoes & 1st For Bridal Shoes due to their dedication to the brand the Rainbow Couture Wedding Shoes collection and we are thrilled.

Rainbow Couture wedding shoes are the designer element to the Rainbow club brand of which also features Else Wedding Shoes and the simplicity of Rainbow Club wedding shoes. The Rainbow Couture collections are made from the finest silk fabrics and the swarovski detailing provides the ultimate in classy and chic shoe styling for the bride to be.

Complimented by a large variety of heel heights and wedding shoe styles ensuring that every potential bridal shoe requirement is taken into account making your purchase easy and simple we feel that the Rainbow Couture collection is just perfect.

We would also recommend for those wanting to dye the Rainbow Couture shoes after the wedding using our dyeing services that you compliment the shoes with one of our beautiful formal dresses, of which our sweetheart dress would compliment the trims of the shoes perfectly.

Well we’ve had our beautiful new wedding shoes, bridesmaids dresses and accessory showroom open for a week and so far so good, lots of interest not just by customers but by the local media and radio stations so fingers crossed but the reason for my blog this week is to update you on some very exciting news.

We’ve finally after a couple of years of hard work, dedication and of course the introduction of the showroom been awarded Rainbow Couture as a fabulous new edition to the Girls Of Elegance brands list. Let me tell you a little about Rainbow Club and then I’ll introduce the shoes. I must say they look very wonderful on our centrepiece right now

Rainbow Club have been designing, making and colouring handmade satin wedding shoes since the mid 1980s and are now firmly established as the UK’s leading and most inspirational producers.

You are buying exclusivity and a truly unique look as all their brands are created in-house by a head of design.

Each pair of your wedding shoes are handmade using only the best components, from the exclusive dyeable satins to our Swarovski buckles and embellishments and even the comfort is legendary!

Whether it’s one of the Rainbow Club collections award winning wedding shoes or a very special occasion shoe, coloured by hand to match your gown, Rainbow Club today remains the original and best makers of bridal footwear.

All of their gorgeous products come beautifully packaged and in particular look out for the new stunning candy-stripped Rainbow Club boxes.

Girls Of Elegance and her sister companies 1st For Wedding Shoes & 1st For Bridal Shoes first started with the Else Wedding Shoes collection as one thing that really sets Rainbow Club apart from the rest as a company is that they do not market by numbers, to become a stockist you have to have a certain criteria ensuring that their brand is protected at all times, ok so we had to prove our worth during the last two years and it was an exciting and worthwhile challenge as we now offer the Else Wedding Shoes collection, Rainbow Clubs Wedding Shoes Collection and now the beautiful Rainbow Couture Wedding Shoes Collection, so lets introduce Rainbow Couture first of all.

Voila, that is all from me this week, now off to pack some shoes

Hello everybody, back again blogging my way through the afternoon as I do have some fairly exciting news (I think), we’re in our 8th year of trading in beautiful wedding shoes and accessories and finally after all these years we have listened to the constant stream of customers asking us “can we come and visit you” and taken the plunge and created the only Southern Wedding Accessory showroom

One thing we have always been informed during streams of market research is that there really are no places you can go and look at a large collection of wedding shoes, bridal shops tend to focus on purely the wedding dress itself with very few styles of wedding shoes available to view so voila we have completed the task and we are thrilled to be offering this exciting and new dynamic concept to the Girls Of Elegance brand.

Our wedding shoe and accessory showroom is by appointment only where you are left at your leisure for 45 minutes, no in your face sales staff unless you want to ask a question regarding our collections, look, touch and see right up close the fine detailing of over 125 bridal shoes from renowned brands such as the following.

Rainbow Club
Rainbow Couture (coming soon)
Else
Pink By Paradox
Belle
Benjamin Adams
Meadows

We will also have pretty hair flowers and tiaras by exclusive designers Charlotte Balbier & Amanda Wyatt not to mention the stunning range from Rainbow Club.

I must also proudly announce we are platinum stockists for all of our brands

Although we do stock a large quantity of wedding shoes, we may not be able to guarantee that we will have your chosen wedding shoe in your size here to try on directly but we are more than happy for those who wish to try a range of shoes on, order them on-line, select visit showroom and we will call you when the shoes have arrived, alternatively you can come and look at the wedding shoes, make your selection and we’ll order it and send it to you Our returns policy still applies for all our sales wether this is via one of our on-line stores or within our showroom facility.

We are also extremely proud to showcase our beautiful prom dresses and bridesmaids dress collections, we will have every colour / style available for you to look at, once you have chosen the dresses, we will order them and you can bring your bridesmaids, mother of the bride etc in for fitting purposes.

Our aim is to have three showroom facilities around the UK within the next two years so wherever you are in the UK you will be able to visit a Girls Of Elegance showroom.

Our aim here at Girls Of Elegance, 1st For Wedding Shoes and 1st For Bridal Shoes is to make the planning of your dream day a little less stressful.

Here are a few sneaky peaks at our beautiful showroom of which we are extremely proud, feel free to make an appointment as we would love to see you

Enjoy and please join our Girls Of Elegance and Girls Of Elegance Showroom pages on facebook, we would love to hear what else you would like to see in there.

Well I thought I’d do yet another blog as I am becoming a little obsessed with doing them this week, so much so that I have created a big long list of things and features I feel the need to tell you about

I recently had the excitement of shooting all of our bridesmaids dresses and being involved in the whole process, stepping into a photographers world was quite daunting, we used Andy Cahill at Photoworks and I have never seen anything like it, this man knows his photography inside out what with being a commercial photographer for so many years. The shoot was done in a lovely old theatre using a couple of stunning models from London provided by Source Models, and a fabulous make up and hair stylist Frances Burns.

We used stunning hair flowers and hair pieces by Amanda Wyatt and Charlotte Balbier however we wanted something a little bit different for the vintage style, I managed to find a lovely girl through facebook who clearly knew her vintage hair pieces called Extra Special Touch and I fell in love with one of them.

One thing we wanted to do this year was increase our vast collection of bridesmaids dresses by introducing some new fabulous styles and what with vintage being so big at the moment we knew we had to be part of that success in some way. I am very lucky to know an outstanding designer in this field not to mention other fields, Leigh (as she likes to be called) never fails to impress us or her vast customer base, stunning ranges, she listens to the customers and implements exactly what they want and we feel very lucky to have ascertained exclusivity to the beautiful Grace design in a small polka dot fabric. So thanks Call Me Betty Vintage If you’d like to join the on facebook here they are

Extra Special Touch

Don’t forget to join us too Girls Of Elegance Ltd

We wanted to shoot all of our bridesmaids dresses in the very best way we could, we have always gone for just a frontal image but they were looking dated and tired so we knew we had to do something this year to recreate our bridesmaids dresses and showcase them beautifully so we listened to our customers and went ahead with producing 4 or 5 images of every dress, showing the front, back, a casual view and of course close ups of any detailing that they may have. The shoot took two days but my god was it worth it.

Lets show you the vintage style bridesmaids dresses first of all, a new avenue of stunning colours and I am sure you will agree they are just fabulous.

The dresses are a beautiful polka dot vintage style swing dress, the dress has little cap sleeves, it has a full circle skirt, a curved bust seam with contrast piping and fullness into the seam. The dress has a detachable bow brooch at the front, it has a zip fastening at the back, It is boned for an extra flattering nipped in waist and lined to the waist. Now for the colours.

Mint Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dress

Lilac Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dress

Pale Blue Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dress

Fuschia Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dress

Baby Pink Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dress

Yellow Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dress (one of our favourites)

So there you have the beautiful pieces, I am sure you will agree that the photos are fabulous. Lets not forget also that these dresses are just as fabulous to wear out for an evening, hen parties, vintage theme events, cruises, proms and allsorts. We love them so thank you Leigh !!!!

If however you decide that these dresses are not quite for you then we have a stunning collection of bridesmaids dresses featuring an amazing range of colours sure to suit your colour scheme and in a large variation of styles.

Oh and if you are wondering which shoes were used for the shoot, we used Charlize By Benjamin Adams and Tease By Pink By Paradox
