Super Sample Sale - this weekend! More dresses...

Morning all,
I am very excited about our first sample sale this weekend. Not least because we have a large number of sample dresses in excellent condition at discounted prices but also because we have some new additions to the sale!

To make room for some new collections we have decided to sell off 15 samples. These are sold as seen (ie you buy the dress in the shop) but as they are mostly 2011 collections and only been in our shop max 8 months they are in excellent condition! They are available in a range of sizes and any alterations needed will be carried out by one of our excellent seamstresses! As well as those advertised in the previous blog, there are a few further teasers below so make sure you come down early or better still book yourself an appointment!

In addition to our Amanda Wyatt, Charlotte Balbier, Benjamin Roberts and Blue samples I am delighted to announce that we will have some very special Caroline Parkes Couture samples... Caroline Parkes is an established designer who up until recently had our own workrooms and showroom on the Fulham Rd in London. She studied at Hardy Amies on Saville Row and has had a very successful career designing fabulous bridal gowns for all sorts of clients including some very prestigious! Caroline is well known in the industry and I am extremely lucky to have her - she actually does my alterations and is thinking of starting a new collection.... More news on this another time...

Caroline lives in Newbury now and has a selection of samples she has kindly given us for our sale. These gorgeous lace, silk and chiffon dresses are an absolute bargain and will sell out soon so come down early to view them! I am quite excited that someone will get a real bargain and be dressed by Caroline herself who will alter them to fit their perfect owner! Some of the dresses would have retailed by Caroline for £3000+ and we have them at just a snip from £399-£799

So what are you waiting for? Call now on 01635 35113 or email laura@mrsjonesbridal.co.uk to book an appointment. We are open until 7.30 pm Friday night (tomorrow) all day Saturday until 5.30 pm and Sunday 10-4 pm!

Three 'Celebrity' Weddings - Boho, Regal and Contemporary

Hi all,

Hope you all had a good weekend? Busy weekend for 'celebrity' weddings this weekend, and all very different!

Boho Chic - Kate Moss and Jamie Hince


First of all, Kate Moss married Jamie Hince in an elaborate 'Cotswolds Affair' mixing boho chic with Rock n' Roll! They married in the beautiful village of Little Farringdon and Kate wore a John Galliano gown. It was gold, sequined and sheer - very 'boho romantic' with sophisticated embellishments which gave it that luxurious look.

I thought it was fab, very reflective of her style and it got me thinking about Kate Middleton's recent Jenny Packham creation of sheer sequined fabric which looked fresh and floaty.

I loved her vintage esque long flowing veil - again very boho and the perfect compliment to the dress!

Love her style - try Alice from Charlotte Balbier. Deep ivory gold colourings with simple straps, perfect for Country Chic!

A Right Royal Affair - Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock

Prince Albert of Monaco wed Charlene Wittstock this weekend (although it wasn't without controversy) but leaving that aside, Charlene wore 2 dresses (like Kate!) both designed by Georgio Armarni

The first was her 'official' wedding ceremony dress was an off the shoulder white duchesse satin gown with fabulous embroidery and detail on the bodice with an impressively long train. According to reports, the team at Armani took 2,500 hours completing the dress. The thousand plus swarovski crystal and embroidery detail on the bodice took up 700 hours alone! Teamed with very '1930s esque' hair which I particularly loved, she looked as demure and graceful as Kate but with her own unique style.

The evening dress was a more playful Armani tiered gown, a great compliment to the heavier and formal structured dress for the blessing.

Love the look? Try Olympia for Charlotte Balbier for a tiered one shoulder dress with long lace bodice - very elegant and graceful! Cora by Amanda Wyatt for an off the shoulder regal feel and Isabella by Charlotte Balbier for a simple silk satin stately look.

Contemporary Country: Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch

Abbey married footballer Peter Crouch at the Stapleford Park Hotel in Leicestershire, probably the most low key affair of all three! Abbey chose a dress from less well known designer Giles Deacon and it was one to reflect a more contemporary style for the day.

The flattering bodice really showed off Abbey's tiny figure while the big romantic skirt was fun and indulgent . Coupled with the simple rose bouquet and her trademark long flowing blond locks, it was a more contemporary twist on the 'English Country' wedding. I loved the very rich and sumptuous silk fabric, pleating and rouching.

Abbey wore it with red nails and vampish heavy eye makeup for quite a dramatic look!

Love her Look: Try a longer fitted bodice with an unusual skirt in a fishtail style like Casablanca by Blue by Enzoani or for something fuller, try  Dabra from Blue by Enoani - long fitted bodice with statement size skirt!

Congratulations to them all - hope it gave you a little bit of inspiration or simply just a gossip!
