Spring Summer Season

It's been an extremely busy few weeks for us as the Prom and Ball season is fully underway. It's been wonderful seeing lots of lovely young ladies coming into the shop for their first evening gown. We have had some stunning gowns in fabulous colours - jewel brights, low-cut backs, beautiful beadwork and lace. It's a really happy and exciting time for us.

As well as the evening gowns, we are finishing lots of Spring and Summer Wedding Gowns. We've had many special days with our Brides and their families, coming in to try their gowns on for the first time. The trend so far this year has been for classic, beautifully cut gowns with stunning details in beading and embroidery. Many for our Brides have opted for matching organza shrugs or coats to complement their gowns.

Tiaras and jewellery have also been more formal and less contemporary in design - perhaps showing a return to more traditional styling. We recently became the only UK retailer of Ivory and Co tiaras and jewellery http://www.ivoryandcotiaras.co.uk. This has proved to be an extremely positive move for us, and their fabulous designs have sold almost as soon as they come into stock. Whether you're looking for something romantic and classic or simple and stylish, we have something to offer.

Bridesmaids colours have ranged from baby pastels to soft, subtle grapes and old golds. We also stock a range of Bridesmaids jewellery - simple solitaire and teardrop earrings and necklaces which make the perfect gift.

As well as having a busy diary for weddings this year, we are also taking a number of bookings for 2008. Some of these Brides came to see us at the National Wedding Show http://www.nationalweddingshow.co.uk in February and have come back and asked us to create their gowns. We will be there again later this year at the NEC Birmingham from 12th to the 14th October on Stand F23. Why not come and see us there?
