Which Oscar Award Winning Actress is Getting Ready for Role as Real Life Mother of the Bride?

December 21, 2010 By blakean

Calling all mother of the bride dress designers! Calling all special occasion dress designers! Susan Sarandon is getting ready to play one of the biggest roles of her life – as the mother of the bride at her daughter, Eva Amurri’s wedding.

This wedding is sure to be a star studded event as the finest special occasion dresses will be on display. Sarandon is no stranger to gala events, but I’m sure that she won’t be digging in her closet to find a special occasion dress for this event. As a former Hollywood starlet, it’s possible that once Sarandon heard about her daughter’s engagement she immediately began the hunt for the mother of the bride dress.

It will be very interesting to see what style mother of the bride dress the Oscar winning Sarandon will go for. Maybe it will be honeysuckle – the color of the year for special occasion dresses in 2011.

Sarandon’s daughter, actress Eva Amurri, 25 got engaged to former Major League Soccer player Kyle Martino, 29. Amurri’s father is Italian director Franco Amurri.

The up-and-coming actress, Eva Amurri, appeared in The Banger Sisters with her Oscar award winning mom and she has several movies in production.

Eva currently lives in California and mom Susan Sarandon spends much of her time in New York City. Who knows – maybe Sarandon will stop by Blake and Company’s New York City Mother of the Bride Dress and Special Occasion Dress Showroom to check out the latest styles.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are finally engaged! Special occasion dress designers around the globe are vying to see who will land the job of creating the wedding dress of the century.

Why not try the mother of the groom dress or pick from hundreds of special occasion dresses that the royal family and friends will be wearing.

It seems that the bride, Kate Middleton is already leaning towards having something created by London based Brazilian Designer Daniella Helayel. With the bride’s fashion sense being seen as classic and traditional, special occasion dress designers can use that information to start planning the mother of the bride dress styles that may complement a traditional wedding dress.

Middleton’s style seems to be predictable, but as the wedding day draws closer, she may opt for something more opulent to match the billing of the wedding of the century. Special occasion dress designers should watch this wedding very carefully as it may spark a whole new style of wedding dress, mother of the bride dress and special occasion dress.

The Wedding of the Century May Be Just Around the Corner – Do You Know What Dresses Your Clients Will Be Wearing?

November 9, 2010 By blakean

Celebrity weddings are one thing, Kate Middleton’s wedding will be the one of the most celebrated weddings of the century. What? You’ve never heard of Kate Middleton. She has been Prince William’s girlfriend for the past 9 years. She is also on track to become Prince William’s wife.

It seems that the couple is finally ready to announce their engagement. Middleton has been giving signs as of late that she is very much the Royal bride in waiting. At various special occasions in the Royal circles, she has been having custom made special occasion dresses made.

Due to the hefty pricetags, these one of a kind special occasion dresses are not for everyone. Clients who want to look like a million bucks without spending a million should turn to couture special occasion dresses and gowns by Daymor, Damianou, Ideas by Barbara, SIA SIA, Scaravelli, JSS Knitwear and VM by Mori Lee.

Middleton has been turning to the same special occasion dress designers used by Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Keira Knightley, Eva Mendes and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Blake and Company’s New York Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom has plenty of wonderful styles to make your clients look like superstars. At our NYC Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom you can find stylish dresses to be worn for daytime events and evening cocktail parties.

Rumor has it that Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, a former stewardess, has been preparing for a June or early July 2011 wedding.

Official word from the Royal Palace is that there is no official word, but that hasn’t stopped a number of leading caterers from submitting wedding proposals.

While Kate and Prince William’s friends maintain that they are unofficially engaged – custom dictates that Kate must wait patiently for Prince William to ask his grandmother, the Queen for permission to make the announcement official.

From past comments, Prince William has made it clear in previous comments that he is not planning a wedding in the Queen’s diamond jubilee year and he has mentioned a quiet wedding location, perhaps in Scotland.

Scotland or England, this wedding is sure to be the wedding of the century and it may be a good idea to come check out the latest styles of special occasion dresses at Blake and Company’s NYC wholesale showroom – just in case you end up with an Royal invitation.

Even if you don’t get an invitation, keep in mind that Blake and Company’s New York Wholesale Dress showroom has plenty of great deals on beautiful wholesale dresses! Come and see our mother of the bride and mother of the groom dress collections for yourself!

Celebrity Weddings, Mother of the Bride Dresses, Mother of the Groom Dresses, Rihanna and Taylor Swift…

October 27, 2010 By blakean

When it comes to Celebrity Weddings, it’s not always easy to know by the name of the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom who the celebrity couple is. Try this one: Mother of the Bride, Mary Hudson and Mother of the Groom Barbara Brand. Do you know who the celebrity couple is? If you guessed Singer Katy Perry and comedian Russell Brand – then you are correct. Were you thinking Kate Hudson? Hope not – besides she’s not married and her mom is Goldie Hawn.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry tied the not in India as they had a Hindu wedding. I wonder what the mother of the bride dress and mother of the groom dress looked like. The style of mother of the bride dress and mother of the groom dress have not been seen in any wedding photos as of yet – but I wonder if they have an Indian flair or if they were more traditional.

The ceremony was described as very private and spiritual, but the wedding reception was described as a bit more flamboyant as the bride and groom sat in ornate golden thrones while fire eaters, snake charmers and singers and musicians performed.

The October 23^rd, 2010 wedding attracted some celebrity guests such as British comedians David Baddiel and David Williams and British musician Noel Gallagher.

Rihanna and Taylor Swift also topped the list of celebrities in attendance. One can only wonder what style of special occasion dress Rihanna was decked out in. Taylor Swift must’ve looked elegant in her choice of special occasion dress.

Blake and Company is proud to provide mother of the bride dresses, mother of the groom dresses, and special occasion dresses and gowns in missy, petite, and plus sizes.

Blake and Company’s New York Wholesale Dress showroom has plenty of great deals on beautiful dresses.

Special Occasion Dress Wholesaler Opportunity for 2011…

October 17, 2010 By blakean

A previous Blake & Company blog reported that October 10^th, 2010 would be a big wedding day – and it certainly was! 10-10-10 saw a huge rise in weddings as more than 33,000 couples registered for the date at the online wedding site The Knot. That’s a whole lot of mother of the bride dresses, mother of the groom dresses and special occasion dresses.

On a typical Sunday, The Knot has about 5,000 weddings registered. 10-10-10 showed an increase of almost 600% in the number of mother of the bride dresses!

There were plenty of celebrities who chose 10-10-10 to seal their nuptials – Crystal Bowersox of American Idol fame married fellow musician Brian Walker. Bowersox wore a eco-friendly organic, hemp and cotton dress. I wonder if the mother of the bride dress was also eco-friendly?

Brothers & Sisters star Dave Annable and actress Odette Yustman were also married on the once in a millennium date. Odette looked gorgeous in her gown (pictured above) as I’m sure the mother of the bride did as well.

Alexa Vega, star of the Spy Kids movies, exchanged vows with Sean Covel, Napoleon Dynamite producer. Spy Kids Director Robert Rodriguez walked Vega down the aisle as she looked stunning in her gown. Vega’s mom, Gina Rue – a model was surely dresses to kill in an amazing mother of the bride dress.

In addition approximately 200 weddings were performed at one very popular wedding chapel in Las Vegas! A special occasion dress wholesaler could’ve had a field day by scheduling a Vegas Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Trunk Show next door! It’s hard to say how many mothers of the bride and mothers of the groom made the trip to the Vegas Strip…

Here’s a tip to Special Occasion Dress Wholesalers: November 11th, 2011 is 11-11-11. Pitch a sales tent on the Vegas Strip – it’s a guaranteed jackpot!

Roberto Cavalli’s Anniversary Party and His Inspiration to Special Occasion Dress Designers

October 3, 2010 By blakean

Special Occasion Dresses Roberto Cavalli

Cavalli’s vision will surely continue to inspire the finest designers for years to come.

Celebrity Weddings took a back seat earlier this week, as Roberto Cavalli celebrated the 40^th Anniversary of his company in Paris with an over-the-top anniversary bash! Over one thousand guests including the likes of Taylor Swift, Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson and Heidi Klum attended and partied the night away.

The guests dressed in stunning occasion gowns and beautiful dresses that would make Hillary Clinton’s mother of the bride dress look like something off the rack at Walmart. In the meantime, those privileged enough to be invited chowed down on exotic foods and sipped expensive champagne. The room was the size of a football field and was decorated with lovely arrangements of flowers and large topiaries.

The celebration honored Roberto Cavalli and his most notable contributions to the fashion world which include animal-printed evening gowns, distressed denim, and a method of printing and patching different fabrics together. Cavalli’s designs have inspired special occasion dresses and mother of the bride dresses since the mid 1990’s when he burst onto the scene with his exquisite dress designs for the affluent partygoer looking to get noticed.

Cavalli has worked with many of the world’s leading fashion houses including Pierre Cardin and Hermes. Roberto Cavalli’s clothing and accessories can be found in over 50 countries all over the world.

Cavalli’s vision will surely continue to inspire the finest designers for years to come.

Mother of the Bride, Hillary Clinton’s Dress Makes a Statement

September 15, 2010 By blakean

Mother of the Bride, Hillary Clinton, wore a gorgeous Italian gown with floral detailing by Oscar de la Renta for her daughter Chelsea’s wedding. The Mother of the Bride design was modern and unique in its shoulder coverage. Hillary Clinton showed that a Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom need not wear the usual black, navy or champagne as she selected a bright raspberry hue. Mother of the Brides and Mother of the Grooms should be able to feel confident in pinks, purples and even tasteful reds.

Mother of the Bride Hillary Clinton bid farewell to her standard Washington DC styled pantsuits and donned this glamorous Mother of the Bride gown instead. Secretary of State Clinton’s magenta princess-style gown came complete with an exquisite floral design.

Inspired by Hillary’s gown, Brides.com has a pictorial featuring a stunning Mother of the Bride dress designed courtesy of Ideas by Barbara.
