LCC has been busy!

The last few weeks have been busy and full of events. We have been recently getting some really good recognition from newspapers, magazines, and blogs. For a list of these sources you can go to our press page. Some articles are very good and some offer coupon codes for visiting their sites so you should check them out!

On to the events:

The Date for the Quake event benefiting Howl for Haiti was an absolute success. Money was raised for a good cause and we were able to get our name out there to the NC State community. Anything dealing with NC State is close to our heart as this is where the idea for Lumina was perfected.

On Saturday we went all the way down to Tryon, NC for the 64th Tryon Steeplechase. Having never been to a smaller horse race, we weren't exactly sure what to expect. After attending this race, we are definitely already attempting to get booths at other races in the near future. It was so much fun and we met so many people! One guy who bought a unique two sided bow from us shared that he owned over 500 bows total (of course he was wearing 1 of the 500 and also bought one so I guess that makes it 501)!

As we have mentioned briefly in other posts, we are doing some work with brides and grooms helping to design their wedding neckwear. In order to get more immersed in the market, we attended the Southern Bridal Expo at the NC State fair on Sunday. Going in with not a lot of wedding knowledge, we were glad to have so much interest from brides and grooms. From simply liking our ties for single wear or being interested in placing a bulk order for the groomsmen in their wedding...everyone was very supportive. I don't think the winner has been announced yet, but we participated in a giveaway put on by Southern Wedding Magazine so a premature congratulations to the lucky bride who wins a free set of wedding ties or bows from Lumina Wedding!

For the next few weeks we are working on getting ties in stores, which has recently become a top priority. We are sending ties and bows off to McKenzie Tribe in North Hills, Edge of Urge in Wilmington, and hopefully a new store that is located in Blacksburg, VA and Texas. When they are all sent out to the stores we will let you know, but don't forget that several new styles that aren't even on the website are in Wardrobbe of Cameron Village.

Also, two new BIG announcements:

1. We will hopefully have ties in Southern Wedding Magazine within the next month. We will keep you updated on specifics.

2. Although I can't give away too much, but we have been talking with a wardrobe director from New Line Cinema. We can't disclose which movie, but we are really excited about it!

May 1st is the Children's Hospital benefit, which is approaching fast! Don't forget that half of all proceeds until then go to the NC Children's Hospital, as well as all sales made at the Run for the Promise Gala.

Thanks for all the support. Don't forget to visit the website for the most up-to-date announcements!

Lumina Wedding

It has been a busy weekend here at Lumina, filled with product design and lots of phone calls. We have been working on several new ideas that we hope to be able to share with you soon.

While on the subject of new things, we wanted to make everyone aware of another new part of Lumina Clothing Co. We recently launched the new sector to our company named Lumina Wedding. Our goal is to make a brides wedding day a day full of elegance and style. Our ties come in several widths ranging from skinny (2"), to narrow (2.75"), to traditional (3.25") along with two styles of bow ties. We feel that the bride and groom should have the chance to choose from many different fabrics, whether they be silk, cotton, linen, taffeta, etc. We work with the couple to pick out fabric that is unique and matches their personal style, and in many cases exact colors of the bridesmaid dresses. Not only can groomsmen wear their tie or bow tie during the wedding, they can keep it and wear it for future special occasions. They also make great groomsmen gifts! If you are getting married soon, feel free to contact us about making neck wear for your wedding party:

amanda@luminawedding.com or http://luminawedding.com/

We also wanted to remind you that we have Lumina tee-shirts available on the website. They are made of vintage lightweight cotton and are perfect for casual summer wear. There are two different styles, and three different colors and are available for men and women. Check them out!

That's about all for today. Don't forget about the Run for the Promise Gala. Tickets should be going on sale soon, so we will post to let you know when they are available as soon as we find out! Don't forget that the most updated information can be found on our website:
