Dear Rickie… Suggest a jacket for a Mother-of-the-Bride?

December 2nd, 2011

Dear Rickie,
I just bought a Teri Jon dress for my daughter’s wedding. This is the second Teri Jon gown I’ve bought for a wedding! I did not specifically look to purchase a Teri Jon dress when I first started out, but after trying on many dresses, the only one that I liked turned out to be Teri Jon.

Coincidentally, I wore a Teri Jon gown in August 2008 for my first daughter’s wedding. Thank you for designing dresses that a mother of the bride can wear without looking dowdy. I still get compliments for the first gown that I wore! I highly recommend Teri Jon dresses for any mother-of-the-bride to be. The dresses are of high quality, beautifully designed, and are reasonably priced. My next search is a small jacket to wear with the gown. I’d love some suggestions!

Thank you again,
Elizabeth Walter

SHERRI SHEPHERD EXUDES BRIDAL ELEGANCE IN TERI JON DRESS

September 14th, 2011

CHICAGO, IL August 12, 2011 – As a wedding quickly approaches, life is often a chaotic whirlwind. With so many details to plan, the perfect outfit for a rehearsal dinner is often the last thought on a bride’s mind. Yet, for Sherri Shepherd, the task of finding the perfect rehearsal dinner dress was a decision made easy thanks to Teri Jon.

At the rehearsal dinner, Shepherd was all smiles with her then fiancé Lamar Sally wearing a  gorgeous cream dress with heather gray flower details . This printed taffeta dress  created by Teri Jon was an absolutely perfect fit for the event giving Sherri Shepherd an elegant and put together look. The accent on the waste, a key look in Teri Jon’s collection, created an extremely figure-flattering silhouette on Shepherd.

In the dress, she appeared to be completely glowing and at ease, looking forward to her upcoming nuptials on August 13. Congratulations to the happy couple on your recent marriage! May you have a lifetime of happiness and of course, continue your incredible fashion sense for many years to come.

Who doesn’t love charity, animals, fashion, and cocktails?

We certainly thought it was the perfect combination, as Teri Jon teamed up with an array of world-famous fashion designers and Animalfair.com for the 11th Paws for Style event.  Today Show’s Natalie Morales, TV personality Henry Weinreich Roth, and the Real Housewives of NYC drank Puptails, and enjoyed a Hill’s Science Diet sponsored buffet, littered with puppy treats, keeping all the dogs svelte so they would fit in their doggie duds.

We created a one-of-a-kind adorable polka dot dress and jacket combo for Countess Luann of Real Housewives of NYC, and a matching outfit for Toby, a Humane Society dog hunting for a loving home – and found one fit for a king (or Count). Special kudos goes out to the Countess for adopting Toby!

Bravo will be airing the event later this summer- but until that point- here is a little footage from the event. Click here to watch.

Teri Jon and the Royal Wedding!

May 5th, 2011

April 29, 2011 has come and gone, and the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William has defied all expectations! While gaining access to that guest-list was no easy feat, it was only the first challenge in attending this royal wedding. The whole world was going to watch what all of the guests were wearing to partake in the greatest fashion affair of the century. What would I wear if I were attending?

A chance of a lifetime to wine and dine with the British royal family, this wedding would also be broadcast live for the world to see. With an official blog and an iPhone app designed specifically for pictures of royal weddings, the pictures from this wedding would be on display for eternity. I expected some guests to wear dresses but others to remain slightly more conservative with suits similar to the picture below.

The neckline beading on this suit jacket above gives off an appropriate classy look, perfect for this occasion!  pair this suit with a big brimmed hat, and a great pair of pumps for a final touch.

Others may choose to wear a dress.  Some will be seen in a simple, classy black dress, or lean towards a more extravagant dress that will stand out in the crowd. The taffeta ruffled cocktail dress by Teri Jon pictured is a prefect to wear if your looking to be “noticed”.  The bright color is appropriate yet gives off some flavor.  If you are looking for a more subtle look, our classic black dress with lace detail is a perfect option.  This will be a fashion affair for all!

My top choice of dresses for the royal wedding would be the Satin Printed Cocktail Dress by Teri Jon. Vibrant strokes of greens, blues, and purples combine to make an elaborate floral pattern that is perfect for this springtime affair.

This dress has a little bit of flare so you don’t get lost in the crowd. Accented with a jeweled belt, this dress creates the perfect hourglass shape and is extremely flattering to every body type. The modest neckline and skirt-length are also perfect for the service at Westminster Abbey! Wearing this elegant dress, I knew I would be ready to meet the royal family!

Dear Rickie… How To Accessorize for My Son’s Wedding?

March 7th, 2011

Dear Rickie,

I’m so excited to tell you that I’ve decided to wear Teri Jon’s Three Quarter Sleeve Taffeta and Chiffon Gown for my son’s special day, which is fast approaching! My question, however, is how do I make this gown look as fabulous as possible? I’d love some suggestions as to which accessories would work well with this gown.

Looking forward to your reply!

Yours,

Barbara

Barbara's choice gown!

Dear Barbara,

I am so pleased you will be wearing the Three Quarter Sleeve Taffeta and Chiffon Gown to your son’s wedding. I suggest wearing something that has texture and shines. The contrast against the navy will make the whole look pop. I would probably do drop earrings such as these:

And a great bracelet, like this one:

This way you can keep the neckline clean and open.

You’re going to look stunning on your son’s big day!  Congratulations again.

Sincerely,

Rickie
