Sticking to The Trends On Pinterest

By | Village News

We’re all about trendy.

In fact, our Bridal Show is a celebration of what’s fresh and exciting in the wedding world. So many of our merchants do business in the industry, from Tivol engagement rings to Shana Vaughn flowers. We’re practically bursting with the latest trade secrets, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

And while we’re on the subject of trends– do you have a Pinterest account? We got the idea from our brides, who love using it to capture new ideas and inspirations for their wedding day. We decided a perfect time to launch our own Pinterest site was now, right before the Bridal Show. But we plan to use it all year long, as the seasons change and new trends come and go.

Follow our new Pinterest page at www.pinterest.com/briarcliff, and browse our boards featuring the latest wedding trends. After the Bridal Show on March 3, we’ll keep posting things we love. Some will be our own merchandise; others, simply products that represent the Briarcliff experience.

Like we said. We’re all about new stuff.

By | Village News

Leave a Comment

Guests at the Briarcliff Village Bridal Show, Saturday, March 3, will have the chance to win a free men’s wedding band from Tivol fine jewelers. Tivol, Kansas City’s premier jewelry company since 1910, has agreed to donate a Scott Kay Cobalt band as one of several high-end prizes for the event. SK Cobalt is a contemporary, highly acclaimed collection combining design with precision engineering.

All SK Cobalt wedding rings are hand sculpted in the USA from BioBlu™ 27, the world’s most superior contemporary metal. BioBlu™ 27 has previously been used for the production of finely crafted surgical tools. Designed as an heirloom piece that will last through generations, SK Cobalt encourages the tradition of passing wedding bands from father to son to grandson, much the way mothers pass down their engagement rings.

To qualify to win your SK Cobalt ring, register at the Bridal Show and visit each of our Briarcliff merchants. Participants with a fully-stamped “passport” will be entered into a drawing for the wedding band and other prizes valuing $500 and up.

The Briarcliff Bridal Show is a free event offering one-stop shopping, trends, consultation and one-on-one advice from experts in bridal couture, flower design, invitations, custom cakes, registry and gifts, reception venues, wedding and engagement rings, alterations and more. The event takes place Saturday, March 3, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and will feature two fashion shows, plus a dedicated room with sports games and beer for the grooms-to-be.

Engage with Local Experts at Our Bridal Show

With wedding season just a DJ and a few tuxedo rentals away, Kansas City brides need all the help they can get. As anyone who’s ever gotten married knows, even the most efficient couples can feel overwhelmed by the length of their to-do list. That’s why a handful of wedding merchants at Briarcliff Village are staging a free,day-long, intimate look into tips and trends for brides on Saturday, March 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.“Bridal shows and expos are a great source of information, but they can be daunting,” says Maggie Goldsborough, wedding consultant and owner of Salutations custom stationery. “If you really want to ask questions of someone who works in the industry, you have to talk to them one-on-one .”At the Briarcliff Bridal Show, brides can talk invitations and place-setting with Goldsborough. They can talk rings with Tivol, Kansas City’s premier jeweler. They’ll learn trade secrets from Shana Vaughn, a florist who’s been featured for her wedding designs on local news shows. Sugar Mamma’s wedding cakes (think Cake Boss), seasoned photographer Allison Marie, and international stylist Carolina Coleman from Eclektica are just some of the Briarcliff merchants who will host seminars, demonstrations, Q&As and more.

Registration begins at 10 a.m. at Latte Land. At noon and 3 p.m., special guest merchant the Gown Gallery (1901 Main Street in the Crossroads) will send in models for two runway shows, featuring the hottest bridal styles of the season. Held at Piropos and Trezo Mare restaurants respectively, these shows also offer brides the chance to scope out two elegant reception venues.

In addition, brides who visit every vendor will be entered in a drawing to win one of seven high-dollar prizes:

  • $500 gift certificate to the Gown Gallery
  • $500 gift certificate to Briarcliff Village
  • Free engagement photo session with Allison Marie
  • Free wedding hair and makeup with Eclektica Salon
  • $1000 gift certificate to Burleson Orthedontics
  • Free Day of Serenity at the Spa
  • Free men’s wedding band from the Scott Kay Cobalt Collection from Tivol

“We want to offer brides a simple, fun day where they can get the answers they need,” Goldsborough says. “Whether it’s learning about trends or having a chance to connect with a good vendor, we hope they’ll leave feeling more prepared and focused on the excitement of their big day.”

Piropos Lunch: Escape to Argentina

By | Dine, Piropos

Leave a Comment

According to the owners of Piropos, a flight to Buenos Ares, Argentina, takes around 11 hours and 33 minutes from nearby KCI Airport. Since that’s a long way to travel for good food, we suggest the shorter trip to Piropos Argentinean restaurant. And now, you don’t even have to wait until dinnertime.

Piropos announces a new lunch menu with unforgettable Argentinean fusion cuisine. Served Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Piropos’ warm, meaty tastes are perfect for a winter afternoon. Enjoy an international collision of flavors that includes empanadas, pan seared filet mignon, Venezuelan corn cakes, seafood ravioli and more. Sandwiches and pastas range from $9 to $16; entrées $14 to $23. For more information or to make a reservation, contact Piropos at (816) 741-3600 or by visiting .

Round trip tickets to Buenos Ares start at $1005.00. Just in case you were wondering.
