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!
