CS Brides' Afternoon of Bridal Luxury Event Recap

It is hard to imagine a better afternoon as a bride-to-be (or a lucky family member or friend!) than CS Brides’ Afternoon of Luxury, which took place on October 16th from 12:00 to 4:00 pm along the prestigious line of shops on Oak Street in downtown Chicago.

Starting in the private dining rooms of Spiaggia, attendees explored boutiques like Ultimate Bride, Belle Vie, Vera Wang, Palazzo and Dimitras to find the perfect dress for them and their maids, then tasted cakes and appetizers, tried on elegant jewelry, received over 60 luxury samples, and met the best of the best in wedding vendors.

The Davis Imperial team was proud to represent their wide array of wedding services, including alterations, cleaning, restoration, hand pressing and delivery, on-site mobile pressing, and museum quality preservation, along with the special details that make a bride’s day one she’ll never forget.

The entire event wrapped with a champagne toast, and a portion of the proceeds benefited the American Heart Association. We had a wonderful time, as always, and would love to share our favorite pictures with you!

Davis Imperial Offers Wedding Dress Confidence at Running of the Brides

This Friday, hundreds of brides-to-be will descend on Filene’s Basement, accompanied by their mothers, sisters, brothers, and closest friends for Running of the Brides. An annual event held by the retailer, it draws countless hopeful women looking for their dream gown at a price that takes their breath away. And while a sale like this can be exhilarating, it can also be overwhelming due to the sheer chaos and excitement of it all.

But to help calm those nerves, Davis Imperial takes part in this famed event, and offers every bride the absolute best service when it comes to dress fitting and care. When faced with countless gowns at her disposal, even the most certain gal may feel some hesitation as to whether a dress she loves will live up to her expectations—Will a tailor be able to fix the lace detailing and take in the bodice? Can that dark spot be removed?-- so Davis Imperial is on hand to answer all questions and instill the utmost confidence in this huge decision.

While waiting in line, brides-to-be can receive a free tote bag and gift certificates for gown services (while supplies last), and by visiting the Davis Imperial table, girls can talk first-hand to fabricare experts and receive a complimentary fitting and stain removal consultation. And don’t forget your smart phones, because just for liking or following Davis Imperial on Facebook or Twitter, and by filling out an informational card, the first 200 brides to visit the table can receive a gift card for Davis Imperial and a beautiful gown care tips book, plus be entered to win a number of other prizes for wedding gown services furnished by the most prestigious and experienced team in the city.
