Wow oh wow!  We just finished about 130 custom flower girl dresses in many colors and styles (those October weddings are so many) that we shipped Friday.  So we have been asked many times about combining Pink and Gray flower girl dress colors.  This week, one of this week’s favorite flower girl dresses by Pegeen.com.

It’s back to school time which means that at Pegeen.com you can talk to a designer from 8am until 11pm. We mom’s get pretty tired juggling homework and factory and each year therefore, we revert our hours from 9-Midnight at Labor Day weekend. (more…)

A question from a bride last night got me wondering.  Can a bride have a color in her flower girl dress and which would be the more preferred color version black with Tiffany flower girl dresses or Tiffany with black?

This week I sent two dresses to a customer of ours in St. Helena CA for a family wedding.  Both are to be worn by her daughter.  She sent me a wonderful compliment:

The dresses just arrived a little while ago and Lauren tried both of them on—they are absolutely stunning and fit PERFECTLY!!!  They far exceeded our expectations in quality and design.  You rock!!!  …. There is no reason why you can’t be making millions!  Your business is fabulous!

I was pretty happy with her kind words even though I know that everytime someone gets a package from us, the compliments are similar.  But I couldn’t help to think that while the gang at the factory was finishing up her dress that we needed in a hurry how many more GOLD (our color called WHEAT) and BLACK weddings that we were actually doing!  The factory bins seemed to be full of them!  Humm… new trend?

BrideTide had recently put a challenge up to wedding professionals to write about someone in the industry that they admire.  I am positive that there will be those who will write about someone who they really believe deserves mention and I can hardly wait to read everyone’s posts.  That said, however, and being one of the very first companies to get onto the internet in the mid-1990’s I am going to do something a little more TIME MAGAZINE like and instead, name what I believe has helped, or more dramatically, changed the wedding industry more than any other thing and that is our friend, THE INTERNET.

Each month, we highlight one of our favorite weddings, and this was a knock out.

Lori had six little flower girls – all nieces and two ring bearers – her nephews.

This was a fun wedding for us to make because of the joy of having all the grandchildren in the wedding for Wanda was really exciting for the bride.  They worked together on just the right look and we think it was a winner.  Visit Pegeen.com for the wedding of the month and view past weddings for all your wedding ideas.

I started my company in March of 1982, appropriately given the Irish name of Pegeen, with the assistance of my mother,  Joan.  Sadly and with great heartache, my mother passed away this month.  Mom suffered from Alzheimer’s  and my company will not be the same without her encouragement and taste.  I love you Mom.

For all of you who remember the two of us working together at the trade shows in New York, Chicago and Las Vegas, I am sure you will miss her strong presence and charm like I do.  Mom helped me at so many of the shows, tirelessly.  Once, an editor wrote a story about us at Pegeen and included an appropriate description of her: Spry and energetic.  Donations in remembrance of Mrs. Hyland can be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation, 322 Eighth Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001

We are also so pleased to present our latest Wedding of the Month for March.  This is a special month for me, as it represents 27 years of business for us here at Pegeen.com®  when I started our company.  This months wedding highlight is a wedding in Ireland.  Our bride chose style 345 for her girls, in Grass Green and Grape and for the ring bearer, a white silk suit in style 215.  They purchased a matching silk ring bearer pillow. Venue: The Ardenode Country House Hotel www.ardenodehotel.com Ballymore Eustace, County Kildare 045 864198
