16/12/10 14:49 Filed in: Tuxedos
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new 2011 Tuxedo Rentals and Sales website. We have really done a total revamp to make it super easy to use, comprehensive on our styles and informative.
We are excited for this year as there is a resurgence in the bow-tie. The oft over looked classic and timeless look is really making a resurgence. Side-vented tuxedo's are huge for this year as well. We are offering a limited time incentive on our Promotions page for Grooms Free/Half Price and an additional discount for anyone order bridesmaids. Take advantage of this limited time offer and Book an Appointment to come in and have a formalwear consultation today.
Grooms should take time to read our Guide to Selecting a Formalwear Shop and Frequently Asked Questions.
More importantly our Pricing Comparison hopes to inform people about how misleading advertised pricing can be in formalwear and why we use inclusive pricing (no hidden charges).
We have a few actual photo's featuring brides and grooms in our Tuxedo. The following photographers are very skilled and should be considered for your wedding photo's. We have Jill and Mike Edgar, married October 2, 2010, photographed by Tom Kraus of Tomas Kraus Photography. We have Mina and Jeremy McCrea, married on June 12, 2010, photographer by Shawna Coates of Infinite Images. (We'll post some bigger images up in the next couple of days).

1) I want him to choose his own formal wear and his own provider
2) He wants to wear suit
While we love to involve our grooms by getting the fully involved in the selection process there should be some factors that come before the above...

26/04/10 18:55 Filed in: Wedding Dress
Here is a recently designed ad for the upcoming issue of Calgary Bride magazine. We really wanted to stress that if you plan on keeping your dress, which you should for sentimental reasons, you need to take the proper actions to preserve it.
Here is an important tip for brides whether or not you choose to have the gown preserved or cleaned... TAKE IT OUT OF THE PLASTIC BAG.
The plastic bag will give off fumes which will cause the gown to yellow very rapidly. The plastic bag should only be used for transport. Click below to learn all about preserving your gown.

24/03/10 09:51 Filed in: Wedding Dress
Ladies, do not miss out on April 3rd, from 10-3pm, when we have designer Joanna Bisley in the store to showcase her new line of 2010 jewelry. She will be bringing most of her collection which includes bridal, special occasion and red carpet. We are so excited because this is the first time Joanna will have been in the store, and brides get to meet her!
We think Joanna brings something really unique and special to jewelry design that we have searched high and low for throughout markets around the world. It’s actually jewelry you want to wear! Better yet, the pieces are something you can pass down or give as a “something borrowed” for someone special.
In our store, we generally have only carried her bridal line, so for the first time ever, we will be showcasing some of her amazing coloured pieces. These are fabulous for graduates, bridesmaids and mother of the brides who want to add a little pizazz to their outfit.
Please visit www.joannabisleydesigns.com to view more of the collections!Click Here to Read More...
