Now my mums journey to find her outfit wasn’t straight forward because she didn’t know what she wanted. She also stuck to tradition so Mother of the Bride chose her outfit first before my mum went looking.

My mum and I went to a few different shops, never finding the right one, even purchased a dress that turned out to be not the one. My mum ended going for something that I didn’t expect her to go for. Another reason why it is so good to try lots of different styles on. She sent me a photo of the Veni Infantino dress that she is wearing and said I want that one and I couldn’t believe it when I saw it in our stock room, in her size like it was meant to be. My mum only purchased her dress a few months before the wedding. Just showing how different two peoples journeys can be to find the perfect outfit.

I spoke last week saying that my brother was getting married, all that work and build up for that one special day and now its all done. When Mothers of come in looking for their outfits I say it is a journey, everyone’s is different and that was very true for my mum and myself.

I have had my dress for my brothers wedding for around 18 months. As soon as I saw it I knew that was the dress for me. Then I had to stop looking (easier said than done when you work at Anne Furbank) But my eyes never strayed, I knew what I wanted, I had it and couldn’t wait to wear it.

When I put my dress on I felt like a million dollars, it was everything I wanted and more and I cannot wait to wear it again.

This is a very big week for my family, my little brother is getting married. Obviously I got my outfit from Anne Furbank as did my mum so stayed tuned this week on socials to see what I am wearing to my brothers spring wedding.

As we say goodbye to faux fur, sequins and velvet we say hello to all the lighter fabrics, the silks, lace and chiffon. Instead of wanting the structure of a winter outfit we move to the more floaty and romantic outfits, that give you beautiful movement when you arrive at the beginning of the wedding all the way through to the dance floor in the evening.

When you think of a spring wedding normally the pastel colours come to mind, your pale pinks, yellows, blues, greens etc and yes that is true but here at Anne Furbank we know those colours are not for everyone so we also have a lot of lovely bold colours for a spring wedding, fuchsia pink, lime and  orange. If you don’t believe me why not come in and see our shop of technicolour.

With spring in the air and all the flowers beginning to bloom it definitely feels like we are finally leaving winter behind us. Therefore when it comes to a spring wedding its not a surprise that flowers are a popular theme. We have many beautiful Mother of the Bride/Groom floral dresses available so why not come in and see.

Spring is definitely the beginning of the wedding season and with all the beautiful flowers, colours and better weather it is easy to understand why. Therefore this month we are going to be looking at spring trends.

1. Florals
2. Colours
3. Fabrics

Romantic dress style – evokes femininity and gentle elegance through airy fabrics like chiffon, delicate details such as lace and pastel colours.

 

If you are going to a wedding in February why not wear the colour pink or red? To symbolise love? Or even better you might be attending a Valentines day themed wedding? If that is the case we have lot of lovely pink and red dresses instore to show you.
