If you have a summer wedding and it could be very hot why not choose a dress that is a light fabric and a pale colour.

When it is as hot as it has been it is so important to keep hydrated. Therefore make sure you drink plenty of water.

Haven’t we been lucky with this weather! But if you have an occasion how do you stay cool? Well are some of our top tips.

I was on a hen do last weekend and everyone was carrying a portable fan, they are so small and compact that they would easily fit in your clutch bag, so why not treat yourself to one, it will really help.

Butter yellow is the new sage green when it comes to spring/summer 2025. Butter yellow is everywhere in the shops and it has become big in the wedding industry too.

When we think of a summer wedding and colours I either think pretty pastels or bright and bold, both work but the point I am trying to make is to use colour. Summer is a colourful time, blue skies, green grass, yellow flowers, red strawberries etc so why not use those summer colours to inspire you and your wedding.

Another reason people believe June is such a popular month for a wedding is because a couple who marry in June would have their first baby in early spring, therefore having a few months to recover before harvest starts. (Not so romantic.)

We are in June! And June is one of the most popular months to get married. There are thought to be a few reasons for this, it was believed that couples who married in June would be blessed with prosperity and happiness.  As the song says in the movie Seven Brides For Seven Brothers “For they say when you marry in June, you will always be a bride.”

Everyone’s experience of finding the perfect Mother of the Bride or Groom outfit is different. Whether you find it in the first shop you go in and its the first dress you try, or it might be in the 20th shop and the 200th dress you try. We tell all of our customers it is a journey, it is a special day and you want to get the perfect outfit and we are here to help you every step of the way.

When you look back at the wedding photos you want to make sure you still look like you. We have so many people come into the shop and try outfits on and they say “it just isn’t me” I believe we have a dress for everyone, so why not come in, be open minded, try lots on and find your perfect dress.

Weddings can cause friction between family members, how do you stop this from happening? To be honest………you can’t. Everyone will have different thoughts and views when it comes to a wedding. My only advice would be to respect the brides and grooms wishes. Whether you agree with them or not it is their day, not yours.
