Why Shop Now!

Last July to September David and I attended our markets and met with factories to select the dresses and accessories for The Gallery by Lynette 2011 season.  We are so excited and have been receiving them during the past few weeks.  Along with the beautiful gowns we have also been receiving notices from our dress manufacturers that even though prices were up 15-20% from last year, they didn't estimate sufficiently and are raising prices on reorders by another 12-15% after the first of the year.

Why is this happening?  Well, the Chinese currency is gaining value against the U.S. dollar, Chinese families can only have one child and this generation is now old enough to work in the factory resulting in a diminished work force, As the world is more globally minded Asian workers have more opportunities and the list goes on.

What should I do? you might ask.  If you are going to be needing a prom dress, a wedding dress or a dress for a special occasion we recommend that you shop right away.  One of our main suppliers' prices are going up on January 1 but it will take a couple of weeks to finish re pricing.  We do sell off the rack but when we order we have to charge the higher price and it is confusing to have one price on the tag but a different price when ordering. 

When you shop at The Gallery by Lynette be assured that you will receive the very lowest price possible.  Our economy is actually in a recovery but it may take awhile for the effects to be apparent. We will do everything we possibly can to make sure that you can afford to have a beautiful, well made gown. 

Please visit us today.  Also, please pass this information on to your friends.  We will keep you updated on specials, new arrivals and pertinent info when you follow our blog.

Have a very Merry Christmas

Wedding Specials

We hope that those of you sho attended the Wedding Showcase in Logan last week were as impressed with the new Accolade event center at Hamiltons as we were.  It is beautiful.  (Continued below Pictures)

Later that evening David and I went back for a reception for a bride who feels more like a daughter than a customer.  She came to me for a prom gown a few years ago and we fell in love with Kyla and her family.  When she came to me for her wedding gown I knew it had to be over the top as Kyla is beautiful and has exquisite taste.  She brought her mother, her grandmother and some of her siblings to help her decide.  She tried on several gowns and then I pulled out the Maggie Sottero gown called Ambrosia the shopping was over.  We discussed how we would make the modesty conversion and we began.  Without getting into a lot of boring descriptions I will say that this is one of the most elaborate projects we have ever done.  However,  if you have ever shopped with us you know that your dress should not look like it was ever changed no matter what we are doing to your gown and we tweek and personalize a lot of gowns.

 

Kyla, I hope your wedding tomorrow is as beautiful as you are.

The greatest gift that I can receive is knowing that my bride is happy. Thank you for the honor of being a part of your special day.

Your Unique Style

We just attended the Ogden show at the Mariott Hotel in downtown Ogden and met so many of you who are sooo excited to share your plans with me. I have spoken to one bride who's theme is around the seasons of the year, we have seen a peacock theme. One of my brides wants to take water skiing pictures in a flirty short white dress that we just got in at the store. Don't be afraid to incorporate your unique interests into your wedding. One groom loves camo because he is a hunter. I told him that he probably wouldn't win that one with the wedding cake but he could have a groom's cake and I would love to see him do camo icing. His eyes lit up and I could tell he liked that idea. Come see us any time for original ideas on wedding planning.

I am the eldest of 6 kids and therefore did a lot of cooking.  More than 30 years ago when engaged I was very excited to begin my new life as a wife and collected recipes and home making tips.  This link was sent to me and I thought you might enjoy it also.  We do not provide the content.  Let me know what you think.  http://www.rightathome.com  I found recipes, home decorating ideas and lots more.

Rykki Lynn Olsen Neale

Congratulations to the newlyweds.  Rykki chose a multi layer soft tulle skirt with rouched tulle strapless bodice.  Our design team at The Gallery by Lynette made it modest enough for the LDS temple.  We also added the baby blue tie in the lace up back.  The Gallery by Lynette specializes in taking your high fashion designer gown to the next level.
