Let’s all take our minds off the news for a second and celebrate those girls who are getting us through everything ♥️ One of my amazing best friends, who was also one of my bridesmaids when I got married in 2015, has just told me it’s national bridesmaids day today 🥰🥰🥰 Tag your girls in the comments to let them know you’re thinking about them today 💕💕

Can you see me standing in the doorway here? 👋👋 Hello! I hope everyone is keeping safe and well during this bizarre week. I know a lot of my brides are facing the decisions of postponing their wedding date, I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you all.
I have already been in contact with my amazing brides but just in case you missed my message I wanted to let you know that from my side of things all my designers are running on schedule and haven’t faced any delays in production. If I receive any news that this has changed, I will of course let you know. For brides whose dresses are already with me and want me to arrange a courier to send the dresses to you this can also be arranged to save you coming over to my shop.

It's amazing what you take for granted, for the shop it is the norm for me to be on the phone, email and messenger most of the day everyday (sorry to all my family and friends for looking at my phone so much but you know - self-employed excuses!) replying to brides, bridesmaids and mother of the brides. I will normally be booking appointments in the diary and helping with questions along with hosting appointments at the shop. This week it has almost been silent, and last night a new online booking came through and I couldn't have been happier! Taking me right back to 4 1/2 years ago when people would call to book in and I was ecstatic! Not that I am not grateful for every booking that comes through normally, but this was just heightened after a few days of silence! I also had a lovely appointment last night choosing dresses, talking colours and styles. It was almost as if the outside world was shut out and I forgot what was happening.
I am open as normal and will continue to be, this is my livelihood and my 'baby' I will not give up on my business.

Please continue to speak to me and if anyone needs bridesmaids dresses, I am here!! ♥️

I can’t stop scrolling on the news at the moment

I can’t stop scrolling on the news at the moment, one report after another with the latest updates and current numbers. I’m not sure about anyone else but the current news is affecting me more and more each day, being sent articles on how to help with the anxiety caused by the current pandemic. Even the word pandemic still seems alien and theatrical.
Conversations with my brides over the last week have changed and it’s clear that everyone is in the same boat, no one knows what is going to happen and the topics that are never normally spoken in my boutique are being mentioned regularly; ‘postponing’ ‘cancelling’ ‘insurance’. It is a worry, not only for my brides who have planned these days meticulously for the last six months, year or even two but also for the majority of suppliers in the wedding industry who are self-employed and ever so reliant on a busy wedding season The next few months are so uncertain that we cannot imagine what will happen and how everyone will cope.
Hearts are breaking all over the world and whole countries are closing their doors and locking themselves in, is it too soon? Too late? No one knows the answer as everyone seems to have different opinions. Our NHS working tirelessly helping people whilst thinking of their own families, incredible. We need to make a deal to look after each other, I’ll think of your loved ones if you think of mine. Let’s all use our common sense with practical shopping, social distancing and heightened hygiene standards and we will see the other side of it all. We can look towards the day where the news will tell us that we have a ‘record low of broken hearts’ and we won’t believe what we achieved by just helping each other.
The pictures I’ve used for this post are of my Grandparents on their wedding days; John & Alma Joy married 24th August 1948 and William & Hannah Dawson married 28th July 1954. I lost both my Grandmothers (they would’ve hated my using that term! They were always Alma and Mam to me, isn’t it funny what everyone calls their Grandparents!) but I’m so lucky to still have both my Grandads; John being 96 and William is 88. The last 2 pics are recent photos of them both ♥️ Keep safe ♥️♥️

It’s been super busy here since Christmas and al

It’s been super busy here since Christmas and always the first thing that goes on the back burner is social media, anyone else? I forget to post pictures of all the pretty dresses people are choosing for their bridesmaids 🤍 I thought I’d share more of my faves for you to see, 2020 brides have you got your bridesmaids dresses? If not drop me a message to book in!! My absolute favourite collection at the moment has to be the gorgeous beaded dresses by @moteemaids 🤍 If you have bridesmaids who are different shapes and sizes (this has to be 99% of girls who come to the shop!) Motee Maids could be the answer you’ve been looking for! Everyone suits different necklines and enjoys wearing different things, with Motee Maids you can create your own dresses to suit and flatter all your bridesmaids 🤍 I will often say to brides if they choose the colour and beading then the bridesmaids could pick their own neckline for the dress, once you have everyone in the same colour but different necklines the overall look is incredible 🤍 there’s thousands of combinations you can create with these dresses, message me for more information 🤍 ps you can book your appointment online now on our website! 🤍
