LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 24, 2011) - Most brides don't have a royal-style wedding budget like Kate Middleton enjoys, but every bride deserves to look stunning on her special day. Now a bride can afford a gorgeous couture-inspired wedding dress with a smart price tag thanks to a first-ever union between celebrity designer Kirstie Kelly and Costco. The Kirstie Kelly Signature collection launches a series of exclusive four-day trunk shows at select locations in the Southwest region with a limited number of designer dresses starting at 40 percent off retail.
Each location is outfitted with a carpeted salon inside Costco with a fitting room and expert bridal consultants to provide guidance during every step, from selecting styles to conducting fittings. There's also a lounge furnished with 3-way mirrors and seating so family and friends can participate in the experience of finding that perfect dress. Unlike most bridal salons, the Kirstie Kelly Signature collection offers sizes 2 to 24 so every woman can catch a glimpse of what she will look like on the big day.
"When we launched the Kirstie Kelly Signature program exclusively with Costco, it was important that we provided brides with the ultimate experience of walking into a beautiful bridal salon," said Kirstie Kelly, designer of Kirstie Kelly Signature. "The jewel box salon within Costco provides an intimate experience for the bride to find her perfect dress."
Kirstie Kelly Signature debuts six styles with classic silhouettes and gorgeous fabrics -- from a sophisticated hand-rouched trumpet dress to a romantic dupioni draped ball gown with hand appliquéd Alencon lace, to name a few. Finished with quality construction detailing and soft embellishments, the gowns beautifully complement a range of skin tones and sizes. Cathedral and fingertip length veils are also available to complete the look.
The next leg of the Kirstie Kelly Signature trunk show will be at the following Costco locations:
- Albuquerque, NM: March 31 - April 3 (1420 Renaissance Blvd, Albuquerque 97107)
- Denver, CO: April 7 - April 10 (8686 Park Meadows Center Dr., Lone Tree 80124)
- Phoenix, AZ: April 28 - May 1 (4570 E. Cactus Road, Phoenix 85032)
