Goodbye January, hello February and the month of love. With Valentines day round the corner it only seems fitting that this months blogs are all focused around Valentines.

Did you know the word valentine comes from the Latin word valens meaning strong and healthy.

Did you see the wedding photos of Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly marrying Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty? A beautiful example of a winter wedding, beautiful white cape, red bridesmaid dresses. One of the best ways to get ideas for your Mother of the Bride or Groom outfit is to look at weddings that have been for inspiration.

First of all let me start of by saying Happy New Year. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, doesn’t it already seem like ages ago. Anyway lets focus on the new year and the new season, as we gear up to wedding season you will be pleased to hear that the new occasion wear is arriving thick and fast so if you do have that special occasion coming up why not pop in and see us.

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?

When we think of florals we automatically think of spring, but that is not the case. Floral print is seen all year round just like flowers. So don’t shy away from florals this autumn/winter.

I absolutely love looking at the history of fashion so I really enjoyed researching this topic. In 1940 Queen Victoria wore a white wedding dress to marry Prince Albert. This marriage was widely published so many brides also wanted white wedding dresses.
