In October 2000, Christina Garcia founded Christina Garcia “Accessories of Distinction”, a company specializing in bridal headpieces, accessories and veils with the goal of providing brides with more than just the usual. From its origins in a small apartment in Minneapolis, the company has grown into one of the most recognized and highly regarded upscale bridal accessory houses in the United States. Her designs have garnered editorial acclaim from the industry’s leading magazines including Town & Country, Martha Stewart Weddings, Modern Bride, Elegant Bride, InStyle Weddings, Real Simple and Inside Weddings. The Christina Garcia brand is now represented by the most prestigious of bridal salons in the United States, England, Brazil, New Zealand and Korea.

Mission:

“Our mission is to create headpieces and accessories of uncompromising quality that each bride will see as a work of art that is wearable. The emotion that comes from purchasing a Christina Garcia should be similar to that of a collector purchasing an artwork. The moment a bride chooses a Christina Garcia, she should not only envision herself on her wedding day but also realize the value it holds for years to come.”

 Use of the finest of materials and meticulous attention to detail are what sets Christina Garcia apart from the rest. Her luxurious headpieces and accessories are made for the distinguished bride. Discover more than just the usual…

Beautiful Virginia Bride to be Lauren Whitbeck received a WetKnot at her Bridal Shower a few weeks ago. Lauren and fiance Patrick Garvey are to be married on November 6th, 2010.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Congratulations and many blessings including blue skies and sunshine on your wedding day!

Sincerely,

RainyDay BridalWear

Carol Newcomb created Traditions Bridal Shop on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill 16 years ago. It was a labor of love. Her father owned a dime store in suburban Chicago and her mother passed down to her a gift for hospitality.

The bridal shop was born in hopes of keeping the family “tradition” alive and continuing in the way of her parents—treating clients with courtesy and earning their respect the old fashioned way. 

Keeping with those ideals, Carol wanted the shop to be welcoming and comfortable. That’s why she has included a sitting area and wine bar, family photos and candy dishes. You might even find a grandchild or two visiting!
