Trunk Shows: The Ideal Bridal Shopping Experience

A Formal Affair will unveil the Fall 2010 line of Casablanca wedding gowns at a special in-store trunk show event! This exclusive unveiling will be held from October 2nd-October 3rd in the Warrenton bridal boutique.

What exactly is a trunk show? It is a special event which allows boutiques to bring in LOTS of extra dresses from the latest collections for customers to view and order. The extra dresses are in-store ONLY for the trunk show event, so this is a great opportunity to see lots of the latest bridal styles in one location.

The collection at our October trunk show will feature beautiful gowns from this world-famous designer, and will officially launch A Formal Affair’s affiliation with this exclusive brand!

Casablanca Bridal was established in 1997 and has since become one of the fastest growing, well-known manufacturers of bridal gowns in the industry.

Casablanca is committed to designing and creating wedding gowns that reflect superb quality, original design, and attention to detail. Their privately owned factory allows Casablanca to ensure all phases of production from start to finish are to their exacting standards. Every Casablanca gown is made to order, one at a time. The designer takes great pride in the fact that they do not mass-produce wedding gowns. Each gown is unique from the hand beaded designs & exquisite laces, to the fit and customization for every bride’s specific needs.

The fall 2010 collection features a selection of gowns from traditional beauty to sophisticated chic. Dramatic embellishments are used creatively throughout the collection on skirts, bodices and used inventively to create gorgeous back treatments. Timeless elegance abounds to please every bride. Fabrics including rich Chantilly lace, opulent taffeta, and sumptuous satin are used in this season’s stunning designs.

Debbie Richards, President of A Formal Affair is excited about the launch of this new line of award-winning wedding gowns. “From working with prospective brides, many have been requesting this designer, and we are excited to introduce this new wedding gown collection. In addition to the high regard for the line in the industry, in this economic time, we are pleased to share that the price point is also affordable from $700-$1500,” Richards said.

 The Casablanca Trunk Show and Designer Launch will be held on October 2nd and 3rd. Brides can call 540-347-5126 to  ensure an appointment or register online at www.formalaffair.us
