Smitherman & Barnwell Private Label Signature Collection – March 2005
Smitherman & Barnwell will be designing a private label signature collection for a company’s infant wear division – announcement forthcoming.

Bella Bridesmaid and Smitherman & Barnwell
In May of 2000 in San Francisco, Bella Bridesmaid was created by Southern gal Bridget Brown in response to an overwhelming need for stylish, wearable and modern bridesmaid dresses. The quaint and inviting boutique offers a refreshing departure from the usual bridesmaid experience: fresh, sassy and chic designer dresses in an intimate, upscale and approachable setting. Realizing the important role of a bridesmaid dress, Bella Bridesmaid provides each bride with personalized attention in a one-on-one environment.

Bella Bridesmaid has enjoyed great success over the past four years due to its unique dresses, cozy boutiques and knowledgeable, friendly bridal experts. The boutique was well so received by Bay Area brides that Bella Bridesmaid first expanded into Atlanta two years ago, and now has boutiques open in San Diego and Seattle providing brides up and down the West Coast and in the South with a fresh bridesmaid dress alternative.



Only the top bridesmaid dress designers are found at Bella Bridesmaid and the boutique is the exclusive distributor of each of their lines. The following designers are featured at Bella Bridesmaid: Thread, Simple Silhouettes, Miracle, Jenny Yoo, Kathlin Argiro, Charsa, Dress Fancy, Aimee Stephens, Zora, Krysia, and Currie Bonner.

Bella Bridesmaid has now added another extraordinary dress collection - Smitherman & Barnwell. Smitherman & Barnwell are known for their beautiful flower girl dresses. When Bridget saw the exquisite designs of Smitherman & Barnwell gracing the pages of the Spring 2005 Issue of Wedding Bells Magazine, she contacted the designer immediately.

Smitherman & Barnwell are happy to announce that Bella Bridesmaid will offer their clients The Cucina Collection, The Tuscany Collection and The Kakkio Collection. Our exclusive collection will be offered in 4 different locations. Smitherman & Barnwell are very happy to partner with Bella Bridesmaid. We share the same goal and that is to provide the client with the very best. Our clients are important and only want something that is classic, unique and beautiful.

"Today’s bridesmaid dresses have reached a new level of sophistication – brides want dresses that are stylish, made of fine fabrics and most importantly, can be worn again," said Bridget Brown, owner of Bella Bridesmaid. "I offer a wide variety of modern dresses, as well as other classic and specialty bridesmaid products, all in a one-stop shop. Over the last four years of working in the bridal industry, I’ve learned that brides love their experience at Bella Bridesmaid because they don’t need to shop around for months looking for a dress everyone likes, as well as bridesmaid gifts, purses, jewelry, etc. And bridesmaids are thrilled with their adorable dresses they can wear again and again."

Each of the four Bella Bridesmaid (www.Bellabridesmaid.com) boutiques are conveniently located in stylish shopping districts set in serene and warm environments. Owner Bridget Brown works closely with her husband, Nick Brown, a photojournalistic wedding photographer (www.nickbrownphotography.com), which enables her to be on the cutting edge of wedding trends and bridal needs.

Smitherman & Barnwell and Bebe & Bacups Signature Hangers
Smitherman & Barnwell and Bebe & Bacups have joined together to offer our clients the very best. Bebe & Bacups (pronounced bay bay & bay cups) was conceived by a new mom and a mom-to-be. Jenn Mercado & Ann Madden are in high demand. They provide unique, hand painted furniture to parents and kids who have a great sense of humor and a strong sense of style.

Named after Madden's niece's imaginary friends, Bebe & Bacups (www.bebeandbacups.com) has grown to include children's accessories as well -onesies, growth charts, bibs, flower pins and much more. They are also known for their beautiful murals, which grace the walls of clients who want nothing but the best. “The murals are so beautiful – their work is detailed and I think every child’s room should be hand painted by Bebe & Bacups”. Smitherman & Barnwell felt that Ann and Jenn’s cute, whimsical touch of art would be the icing on the cake for our clients who love beautiful things.

Smitherman & Barnwell are proud to announce that we will offer signature wooden hangers to our clients. These one of a kind, hand-painted hangers will be sold exclusively through Smitherman & Barnwell. Whether your little princess loves flowers, tiaras or butterflies, these hangers will melt your heart!

Each piece is a unique work of art to help showcase the beautiful clothing of Smitherman & Barnwell."

Smitherman & Barnwell at The Trunkt Store in Tribeca
The Trunkt Store will have the opportunity to offer our beautiful collection in the March 2005. The Trunkt Store located in Tribeca on 333 Greenwich Street in New York is a great place to shop. Look for the following styles from Smitherman & Barnwell – Carrot Cake, Portofino, Miss Penelope, Signature, Voscada, Madison and Southampton Collection.
