In the Spotlight: Ritché

-written by Cendi Micor and Denise Georgiou-Newell, Weddings Jubilee

As anyone in the wedding industry will tell you, Ritché has been a staple in Bridal Dresses for over 55 years and we are fortunate enough to have them as one of our presenting Sponsors. With over $25 000 worth of dress donations from Ritché, you are sure to find the dress of your dreams!

Since arriving from Europe to start a career in Toronto, young fashion designer Jack Ritché, realized the need for custom designed wedding gowns. Discovered by high society women of the 50's, his first store on Bloor Street flourished. The store, now relocated to 1662 Avenue Road, is now run by his daughter Vivian and her husband Arthur and houses thousands of dresses. Whether you want bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, evening wear or accessories, Ritché will have what you want. Please check out the gorgeous styles of Wedding Gowns they have to offer at our event on April 11, 2010 from 12pm to 6pm at the Ramada Plaza Toronto Hotel (you can purchase tickets here).

Tickets are selling and we want to make sure that the early birds benefit. So, if you are one of the first 100 brides to attend, you will receive a 1hr consult with Denise Georgiou-Newell of WeDDings Jubilee.





Denise (aka Dee) has had over 10 years of experience in planning weddings, events and special occasions. She is extremely creative, positive and will bend over backwards so that your day is beyond your wildest dreams. Whether you are planning a local or destination wedding, you will receive a day full of love, excitement and lifelong memories. Dee is determined to deliver on her promise that, Your Vision is her inspiration.

When New Beginnings approached her to plan the 4th Annual Wedding Bliss, it was a no brainer for her to say 'yes'. Coming from a single mother home, she knows first hand how difficult it is for a woman to make ends meet on her own while supporting growing children. Having an organization like New Beginnings which helps these women become trained in new skills to become self sufficient and create better lives for their children is incredible and certainly something we need to support. Who better to do that then other women: Alas, a Bridal Show!


I have been lucky enough to have her as a mentor in the industry and hope you take advantage of the endless advice and knowledge she has to offer.
