A beautiful Mrs Jones Bride - Kate Pink in 'Davenport'

Hi everyone,

This week, sees us showing off another stunning Mrs Jones Bride.

Kate Pink (now Whiteway) married Matt on 28th July at a beautiful country house in Somerset. Kate wore a Blue by Enzoani gown called Davenport. I love this dress's simplicity as it is a statement dress but without all the glitz and Kate looked stunning in it - she didn't want anything over the top or fussy and I think it really suits her. We teamed it up with a simple ribbon edge veil and small pearl tiara which is all it needed to enhance Kate's natural beauty!

Thanks to Kate for sending the pictures -I particularly love the black and white picture below - so gorgeous and very happy! The weather looked fantastic and a truly memorable day.

Thanks also to Kate, for her lovely card and comments. x

Congratulations Matt and Kate. You both look stunning and very happy! Enjoy married life and bringing up beautiful baby Eden.

A Beautiful Mrs Jones Bride!

Hi everyone,

I thought I would publish some pictures of some very special Mrs Jones Brides as I have loved keeping in touch with them to find out all about their day.

The first is Donna Conn (now Timms) a totally gorgeous girl who married Darren on 16th July 2011.

She got married in a Benjamin Roberts '930' dress which looked absolutely stunning on her! We teamed it with a scalloped vintage style veil and sparkly tiara and she looked fabulous! She even had the same wedding jewellery as me! I really enjoyed getting to know Donna and her mum and they are welcome back in for a cuppa anytime!

After a church wedding in Thatcham they had a fabulous reception at The Regency Hotel and despite the earlier rain, the sun shone down just as she was leaving to go to the church!

Donna kindly sent me these pictures to share and some lovely words of thanks..

'I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help. You were always so welcoming and helpful and I just loved visiting your shop. Thank you for making my wedding dress shopping the experience I had always dreamed of.

Our wedding was amazing, I absolutely loved it and was such a poser. We were even very lucky with the weather and it stopped raining an hour before I was due to leave. I loved wearing my dress so much and wish I could wear it again. (I am planning on watching TV in it at home) '

Thanks for your lovely words Donna and congratulations to you and Darren. Enjoy married life!

Country Garden Tea Party

Hi everyone,
To accompany our current 'Country Garden Feature' in Buzz Magazine we have put together an afternoon tea party window. Last week, I met a lady from Vintage Camelia who hires out fantastic vintage china and tableware for weddings and parties. She has absolutely loads of fabulous things so if you are thinking about hosting your own garden tea party but don't have the time to hunt round all those vintage and charity shops looking for good pieces, then give Charlotte a call or visit the website at www.vintagecamelia.co.uk.

She has kindly loaned me a few pieces for my window display and along with my cake from www.thelittlethatchamcakecompany.co.uk it makes for a great display. Add to the mix, the brilliant new Luccia from Charlotte Balbier (which only came in on Friday but has caused quite a stir in the window already) and you have a picnic fit for a princess!

Come and have a look yourself and try on the new Luccia. She has a very unsual circ 1930s esque neckline with a lovely lace skirt and a very glamourous organza train which comes out from the waist. She has spent more time off the mannequin (and upstairs being tried on of late!) so come and be one of the first to try her!

The beautiful Luccia by Charlotte Balbier £1299

Buzz Magazine New Feature

Hi Everyone,

I am very pleased to share with you something I have been working on with a few colleagues!

Buzz Magazine is a local community magazine circulated to circ 40,000 homes in the Newbury area but also available in Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsburys and other local shops and businesses. I have been working on a regular column for the magazine and the first is out now! I got together with couple of wedding colleagues who offer excellent service and quality to write a feature on all things weddings....

There will be a different topic for each edition and the three of us will write from our different perspectives; myself regarding the dress, Karen from Allium Design re flowers and Lesley at Memories Thru a Lens for all things photography! The aim is to share our experiences and ideas and give a little bit of inspiration to those planning a forthcoming wedding!

Our first topic was all about creating a very 'English Garden Wedding' and unsurprisingly I wrote about lace dresses and how to create that soft boho look!

I hope you like it - next one is out in November!

Sample Sale Update and Another Royal Wedding!

Hi all,
After a successful (and tiring!) sample sale weekend I am pleased to report things went very well. We had a record number of girls through the doors as Carly and I were fully booked all day Saturday (and then some!). Thanks to everyone that came down. We also opened Sunday (our first) and this was fully booked all day too! I even had to ask Mr Jones to help out getting our brides drinks and nibbles!

Due to the high demand, we will be extending our sale for another two weeks. There are still quite a few bargains to be had including some of the Caroline Parkes dresses and some Amanda Wyatt so do give us a call or pop in to make an appointment and/or look round. After the 2 weeks we will be removing the samples so please don't leave it too long if you are planning a visit!

So, another Royal Wedding this weekend and this time it was the Queen's grand-daughter Zara Phillips to Mike Tindall. Although I was very busy working, I made time to look at the photos of course!

Stewart Parvin was the chosen designer this time (the Queen's favourite who recently achieved the Royal Warrant of Appointment as Her Majesty’s couturier) so I suppose it is no great surprise. A thoroughly charming guy (I met him in May) and he has a great eye for detail with his signature style being simply cut dresses in fabulous sumptuous fabrics. Zara's dress reflected this - well cut, classic and simple with silk tulle shoulder straps  and quite an exquisite skirt. Take a look at his blog excerpt on the day of the wedding

Love this photo of Zara and Mike Tindall. They both look so relaxed and in love! Zara's dress was very 'her' - unfussy yet exquisitely cut in a sumptuous duchess silk satin - perfect for a 'down to earth' and 'gutsy' princess! The Queen also wore Parvin - a pale pink jacket and hat which looked simply stunning!

We wish Mr and Mrs Tindall all the best and congratulations to Stewart on a fabulous dress which will firmly cement him as the bridal designer for those wanting impeccable style and quality. Apparently it cost just £7000, so relatively accessible, and certainly a snip compared to Kate's £250K McQueen!
