There is so much inspiration when it comes to a winter wedding, Christmas colours, different fabrics such as fur or velvet, glitter and diamantés. I could go on and on. I got married on New Years Eve and it was so magical and special. The Christmas trees, Christmas crackers, mulled wine etc so if you have a winter wedding or event coming up we know how special it is so come in and we can help you find that perfect outfit.

Last week we had a customer in and she had narrowed it down to 2 outfits. One was very formal, traditional, but wasn’t her. The second outfit was quirky, fun and was 100% her. Her head was telling her to go for the 1st outfit, her heart was telling her to go for the second outfit.  When it comes to this decision unfortunately only you can make that decision. What would you of chosen? Outfit 1 or Outfit 2?
