Bea Shawn Fashions predicts 2007 will be an exciting year Bea Shawn Fashions, located at 389 Main St. North in Brampton has been helping brides from the Brampton, Georgetown, Orangeville, Mississauga and Toronto area for more than 40 years. A family owned and operated business, all the staff at Bea Shawn Fashions pride themselves on a dedication to personalized customer service, a desire to expertly help every bride look her best on this very important day, and a determination to provide value to each of their brides. This year is looking like an exciting time for brides and their bridal parties as they begin to look at what is new and in style for the coming year. Whether it's the perfect wedding gown for the bride, the best look for her bridesmaids and flowergirls, or that special style for her mom, their large selection will not disappoint! Bridal fashion for 2007 is showing much more lace in the wedding gowns, beautiful soft, flowy laces, both with crystal and sequin detailing, or simply the lace on it's own to carry the shape of the wedding gown. Some designers have used a combination of lace and either satin or organza to give the traditional bride a more updated choice. This use of fabrics is seen in all styles from the simplest to the most elaborate. Newest in styles for 2007 is a much more "body-hugging" wedding gown, which will give the bride a very fitted look through the bodice to just below the hip and then may flare either gently or into a very full skirt, depending on the particular look that works best for that bride. This type of look is being shown in lace, the new light taffetas, silky satins, and of course, the more traditional silks and satins. The "Pick-Up" skirt continues to be very popular, but for the coming season, may have a lace bodice and lace edging on the skirt to combine the new trend of lace with the newest in styling. This very full-skirted look can be found in simpler versions with very little detailing, in gowns with exquisite laces, those with detailed sequins, crystal, and embroidery, in two-piece wedding gowns, in other words, something to suit most tastes. This year continues to be a year for brides wanting to use colour accents in their gowns. Many wedding gowns now come with satin banding and beads in shades also available in the bridesmaids dresses. The bride and her bridal party can truly look both perfectly co-ordinated and custom-designed without having to pay the price for custom designs. For the bride who wants something even more unique, many wedding gowns are now available not only in white and shades of ivory, but in the champagnes, the soft pinks and blushes. Bridesmaids can also look forward to a wide variety of choices in styling for the coming year. From the increasingly popular separates, to the new "ballgown" styles, the only difficulty will not be in finding something they like, but making the decision between so many tempting choices! 2007 literally finds bridesmaid dresses that are short and fun, long and traditional, simple yet elegant, and those with "pick-up" skirts to match the bride. With a large variety of fabrics and often 30-40 colours to choose from, there truly is something to suit everyone's taste. Mothers will also be surprised to find how their range of style choices has increased. Separates (i.e. a mix and match group of tops, skirts, jackets and now pants) are available in a large range of colours for mothers of the brides. Bea Shawn Fashions is showing a group of gorgeous high-style gowns in a variety of fabrics for the mom who wants to make a statement of her own, and of course the more traditional dress and jacket is always an option. With one of the largest inventories of wedding gowns in the area, Bea Shawn Fashions continues to stock gowns, from sizes 4 to 28 W. We understand that every bride-- smaller, larger or in between-- wants to be able to comfortably try on a wedding gown, and not be left guessing how it will look in her size.

Bea Shawn Fashions pride themselves on providing a full range of services to their customers as they plan for their special day.

You don't need an appointment to try on wedding gowns at Bea Shawn. According to Debbie Shawn, the owner of Bea Shawn, "We can't tell over the phone if a bride needs 20 minutes or two hours. We prefer to tell people to just drop in and we'll help them as needed. It tends to make for a more relaxed atmosphere, less pressure, and puts the focus back on customer service, not on clock watching." Whether you know exactly what you want, or need the help and advice of their staff, whether you are looking for white or ivory, or something with more colour, from simpler looks to the more elaborate, traditional styling to the newest ideas, brides will find something to suit their individual tastes and budgets at Bea Shawn Fashions.
