Almost end of the year wedding trunk shows and events

Can you believe it’s almost the end of the year?  Where did the time go?  Here are a few events that I wanted to let you know about and in some cases, shops and designers have posted their final trunk shows through the end of the year.  Don’t forget, even if you haven’t found your dream gown yet, a trunk show is a great opportunity to find a ‘bargain’.

Are you looking for a special gift for your mom, his mom or your maid of honor?  Phillips Frankel designers Lisa and Danielle Frankel will be presenting their fine jewelry collection at Henri Bendel on November 19^th and 20^th.   I love these ladies. Their pieces are colorful, fun and would make a special gift.  They are not inexpensive but, worth the memory they will create.
