What to do with your dress after the big day - My story...

I get asked this question a lot - "when will I wear my gown again?" and as it is my and my Husband's 14th wedding anniversary I thought I would tell you my gown's story.

I had a wonderful time finding and having my gown fitted - I was living in London and back then there were very few bridal boutiques in London it was really either Virgin Bride (yep he used to do wedding gowns) House of Fraser or Harrods, or you went to each designer, I went everywhere looking for my dream gown and as I had very strong ideas it was quite a task!

I wanted a slinky gown not the traditional bridal gowns my friends were having which back then was capsleeved, round necked and Aline with a wide sash detail and usually white that wasn't for me!
I tried on Donna Karen evening wear (the chocolate really was a bit close to black), Maria Grachvogel - no train then I found "Christiana Couture" who was the Jenny Packham of her day and that was it!

 I went for silver grey and had a fab feather headpiece and Jimmy Choo handmade by him shoes and jewels by Erickson Beamon.

My Bridesmaids were my cousins children Tazmin, Sophie,Chloe and Jordan and even though all grown up now were so cute as flower fairies (not Jordan!), Dresses made by Ellie MacPhee based in Narberth!

Now I did wear it again - on millenium night on Blackheath common (fithy train) and then most years it gets popped on for our Anniversary meal - Lee may be in his jeans and T but I love to pop on the dress and think back to that magic day.....

So you lovely girls you can wear your gown again !

Charlotte Balbier - Romantic Decadence collection

So with London over  it was time for us to go to Manchester and Charlotte Balbier's "Romantic Decadance" collection launch party.

What an amazing day it was, we arrived in a very warm Manchester after a five hour drive, we had a great meal and an early night to get up bright and early for the launch day.

 Firstly off to CBHQ for coissants and coffee and a chat with other retailers then off to the lovely Styal Lodge.

When we got there we were served pink champagne with strawberries and met Charlotte and Nicola her fab assistant along with the other boutique's who stock this wonderful designer - and us the only ones in Wales!

The time had arrived and we were shown into a wonderfully decorated room with a great runway and stunning flower displays and cake....we sat down on the front row and waited for the show to begin......

The collection was stunning - lots of lovely lace satins and chiffon all which will be delivered in September.


Then it was time for lunch which was the perfect chance to catch up with other shops and magazines too - Tilly Mint in Fleet MiliMili in Essex and Brides magazine were on our table we chit-chatted through the whole meal.

Then after this it was time for the important bit -  we made our selection with the lovely Nicola and finally went back to the amazing Kingsley Lodge where we met the lovely Annabelle from Love My dress blog, a meal and a couple of glasses of wine later we were all chatted out.
So we are back after a windy drive home and happy with our fabulous new collection which will add to our already wonderful collection - which as they arrive we will show you so keep checking......

2013- Collections LONDON

Wow what a couple of weeks it has been!
We have been busy bee's whizzing round the country seeing new collections from all of our designers and some exciting things afoot.....
London and The White Gallery -Sunny  London -  the fabulous Chelsea flower show was on, flowers everywhere and we were off to Battersea and Mayfair via Notting Hill to see our amazing designers....

Sassi Holford has created a wonderfully sub line collection of gowns which are simple and elegant with her beautiful inner corsets making brides feel their slimmest and most lovely. She has also created some truly clever add on's to existing gowns such as a full lace coat to go over the stunning Jessica or the illusion jacket which I think every boutique present LOVED!

Next it was Ian Stuart Bride -The catwalk show for his SUPERNOVA collection some lovely detailing with romantic silhouette's from his signature fishtail to ballroom styles.

We saw Rachel Simpson's new collection which was so perfectly on trend with t-bars and dolly shoes.


Jenny Packham was fabulous with some new shapes for her with fuller skirts and simple detailing but with her signature beading we were definately wowed!

We then went to see a top secret designer who we feel you brides will LOVE! more info soon!!!!
