Posted on

It’s funny how some of the most fantastic, exciting and enjoyable times of our lives are also rated as some of the most stressful and getting married comes in within the top ten.  There’s a lot of planning and coordination. The who, when and where. The “who” can become a delicate, political, balancing act with family and friends, but it’s an opportunity for you to include and involve the people you hold most dearest as part of your Bridal party……and remember, these are the people who hold your fate on your Hen or Stag do after all, so choose wisely....

The Classic First off we begin with our base pattern cutting our fabrics by hand to exactly fit. From there the intricacy of making these dresses really starts!...

Posted on

We have seen recently a huge surge in requests for our ranges of pinks and oranges across our spectrum focusing in on our soft Pale Pink, our striking Peach and vibrant Bright Pink. It got us thinking (and wasting time on Wikipedia) what is the Worlds’ favorite colour? Is there one or is it purely trend based? After wasting A LOT of time online we found this chart from YouGov.uk which shows a survey conducted across 10 countries across four continents and it’s pretty incredible that the World definitely has a favorite colour- Blue!
