Weekly Wrap Up with Aaron

I'm thrilled to introduce Aaron, Director of Sales, Marketing and Events here at Tigerlilly. We often joke that our company needs a Bravo TV reality show, because there is constant drama, fun, and craziness - never a dull moment around here. So Aaron is going to give you an up close, unedited, behind the scenes look at what's happening at Tigerlilly every Friday in our new blog feature, the weekly wrap up. And he is ready to dish. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the fabulous Aaron Machado!

I was honored when Mandy asked that I make a cameo on her blog every Friday! I of course told her that it would be my pleasure to do so, and I hope you enjoy my first and the many more to come!

This week behind the scenes at Tigerlilly...



I had such an amazing time working this past week with one of my clients. She was not only delightful, she stomped down the aisle in this:




Let me tell you I can not wait for her to send me pictures! She, with out a doubt, will go up on THE BOARD (the board is my collage and proud collection of beloved brides I have had the pleasure of working with here at Tigerlilly). Look at the back of this dress! OMG the draping is just remarkable! The only difference is that her signature Dragon Brooch was gold. She accessorized her gown with the Alvina line of Tigerlilly (the comb and bracelet).




How fierce? So fierce; this Bride was GOING OFF, just like a killer wave on the North Shore of Oahu baby I am here to tell you! Not label obsessed and clearly I am open to all types of designs by new, old, innovative, classic, timeless, all types of designers... but her dress is Gucci (a perfect match: couture bridal jewelry for a clearly bold couture bride...). I guarantee you her Honey was starstruck when he saw her walking down the aisle... her reception dress was absolutely darling, too cute really; she bought a whole new set of sterling silver jewelry to go with it!!!




Stolen Design!

This is not the first time, however it is the most current scheme we are battling. This website has decided to rip off one of our designs and is calling it their own.

I have to say... at least do it better than us if you're going to use one of our designs as your own! You're putting our FIONA to shame with your lopsided pearls and silver plating... don't you know how quickly your "Athena" will tarnish? And you don't even include the hardware to convert it into a necklace!

Can you believe the nerve of this woman?! I mean hello Lady, we showed this in Martha Stewart Magazine in 2005; this is not some ancient design, the provenance is clear - frankly this design has Tigerlilly written all over it. You're three years late, and your knock off version is JANKITY (thank you Guam Bride for referring this new word into my vocabulary, I now use it daily).


Rumor has it that the Tigerlilly Design team may be releasing a line of bridesmaid dresses. Get into it.



Perez Hilton? Who? I'm telling you watch out... "is the new blog."

Till next Friday dahlings!
