The Essentials Collection Show

Held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire for the first time, I went to investigate and to check out the latest designs from inside the Bridal Industry. We seem to be seeing theatrical inspired pieces creeping through the more traditional updated designs.

One show stopper was a Peacock Gown, floor length and fabulous... huge peacock feathers edging the corset and some intricate detailing with blue, turquoise, green & bronze coloured jewels and crystals. Definitely one for the catwalk but how many brides would be seen floating down the aisle in this gown is still to be seen!

Another massive input into the show were the Prom ranges, bigger and more flamboyant than ever! It seems nothing shocks! This is definitely an occasion that we want to supply for... keep an eye out for Liney's Prom Designs updates.

Well, today's the last day without Jenna, she is back in the rainy UK from a Euro Disney trip with her family and sounds like she has had a fabulous time... welcome home Jen!

The winner of the competition will win a week for 2 to Greece courtesy of The Holiday Lounge and be crowned Hinckley Carnival Queen 2011.
