BASILICA COUTURE'S~ BADGLEY MISCHKA FOOTWEAR

BADGLEY MISCHKA FOOTWEAR T & C.

Dear Fashionistas, Unfortunately due to the high number of calls we receive daily about the Badgley Mischka shoes from women wanting to try them on just so that they can confirm what size they are prior to purchasing a pair online from international websites, we have been advised by the DFT to charge a fitting fee to cover our time and the wear and tear of our shoes. The $100.00 fitting fee is paid upfront and should you purchase the shoes from our Basilica Couture store, it will be deducted from the price of the shoes. Should you not buy the shoes from us, the fee in nonrefundable. Also, there is a no return policy for shoes because you have changed your mind or they aren't suitable for your attire. To try on the shoes, an appointment is required. We apologize for any inconvenience, but over the years of being the only stockist of the BM Footwear collection, having them to be tried on merely for sizing purposes, a lot of them have become so damaged that we cannot sell them, as understanably, no one wants to buy a pair of soiled or scratched shoes. If our terms and conditions don't suit you, then may we suggest that you shop directly from the Badgley Mischka website as we are not a sample showroom for their brand. Note that when you do purchase their shoes online, we are not in the business of exchanging them for you should you have purchased the wrong size and we don't sell our shoes online or post them interstate and we can't order a pair in for you once we sell out. With thanks, The Basilica Couture Management.

THE TRADITIONS OF THE BRIDAL HEADPIECE

Headpieces are chosen separately from veiling. Though the earliest brides said their "I dos" crowned with floral and herbal wreaths -- which continue to be popular, particularly for outdoor and beach ceremonies there are many other options for the bride today. Eastern Orthodox brides know to look forward to a crowning ceremony when they marry, during which both the bride and groom have ornate crowns placed on their heads; the crowns are blessed and exchanged three times, and when they are removed the couple is officially married. Similarly, the Finnish bride wears a gold crown, which she places on the head of a bridesmaid -- while blindfolded -- during a reception dance. It is said the lucky maid will be the next to marry, much in keeping with the tradition of American brides tossing the bouquet. http://www.russprice.com/moreinfo/russ_price_the_history_of_wedding_traditionsbouquet.

THE TRADITIONS OF THE BRIDAL VEIL..

The wedding veil has evolved over the centuries, and has signified youth, virginity, and modesty. n brides were married in swathes of brilliant yellow, while Viking queens wore metal skullcaps. Many Japanese brides still wear the t...raditional tsuno-kakushi -- a white hood that supposedly hides the horns of jealousy. In the United States, George Washington's daughter Nellie was one of the very first brides to don a veil. Legend has it that Nellie was sitting by a lace curtained window when one of her father's aides walked by and fell head over heels in love with her lace-framed face. When the two married, Nellie recreated the effect by donning a lacy veil, and inadvertently set a trend that is still prevalent among Western brides today. http://www.russprice.com/moreinfo/russ_price_the_history_of_wedding_traditions
