September 2011
Colorado finally has joined the list of other major cities in the United States to host a true Fashion Week, and this year’s is just right around the corner. On September 28th, 2011 Arvada’s Deedee Vicory of D’Lola Couture will headline opening night for designers at Colorado Fashion Week at the Buelle Theater in downtown Denver, CO. It is a great honor to be asked to open Fashion Week, and Deedee Vicory is prepared as she unveils her newest creations on the runway for all in attendance. Tickets are on sale now and will go fast.
D’Lola Couture by Deedee Vicory is Colorado’s premier way to buy a truly couture wedding gown. As the only bridal gown designer with a retail showroom, Deedee Vicory gives brides with a unique vision and ability to act on their unique personalities and participate in the dress making process. With fabrics that are shipped from across the world through connections in L.A., New York, Chicago, and Toronto, D’Lola Couture wedding gowns represent the very best in what bridal-wear has to offer. From simple silk shantung wedding gowns to extravagant illusion lace tops with Swarovski crystals, dresses made by Deedee Vicory truly add to the wedding experience.
D’Lola Couture as a label comes from Deedee Vicory’s name, the “D”, and the name her mother used to go by “Lola” before she passed away when Deedee was a young girl. Her mother’s impact on the remainder of her life has inspired Deedee Vicory to strive to be a premier wedding gown designer, and the name of her label symbolizes the importance that her mother had in her life.
Deedee Vicory has spent nearly 18 years working with wedding gowns, opening her own bridal boutique in 1994. Her love for creating beautiful brides is genuine, and it shows as she works with over 1,000 clients per year at her tailoring studio, The Wedding Seamstress, also located in Olde Town Arvada.

Just a fun picture from our fabric buying trip to Los Angeles. We met some great new importers to go with our current lineup. Very excited for the 2012 bridal fashion season!
Buying in bulk is one of our secrets to success, especially since D’Lola Couture is locked in the very fabric scarce area in Denver, CO. So, how in the world can Deedee Vicory purchase her high end designer fabrics for her wedding gowns without having access to good fabrics locally? There are two ways we make this happen:
- Deedee Vicory of D’Lola Couture has connections with multiple distributors and direct importers in Toronto, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. This allows her to purchase large yardage and pass the savings onto the customers. This is unmatched by any other local wedding gown designer.
- Deedee Vicory takes trips to fashion districts in order to personally purchase fabrics, both in large and small fabrics. While it seems odd to fly all the way to Los Angeles for 6 hours of shopping, it really ends up saving money for the customer as the dress prices can be made at a much lower price using the highest quality of fabrics.
So, why is this important to the average bride looking for her ultimate couture wedding gown? Well, first off it gives them a chance to shop locally without having to fly out to New York for high-end custom wedding gowns. D’Lola Couture by Deedee Vicory is the only place in the metro Denver area that offers this type of selection and ability for truly unique custom or couture wedding dress creation.
