Always the Bridesmaid

With so much attention focused on the bride and her wedding dress it's easy to forget that the bridesmaids will play a huge part in the wedding day and that the bridesmaids dresses can be the finishing touch, bringing together the whole wedding party or a fashion disaster leaving your guest wondering what you were thinking of!

And so it begins

For the last few years my husband has been telling me that I should write a blog about everything that goes on behind the scenes of my Colchester based bridal boutique.

In February '09 our web site will be 10 years old, so I thought that it was about time I added something new for our visitors. One of the main reasons I finally decided to do it was because I wanted people to understand our work ethic, and how hard-working and dedicated we are to our brides and their families.

It also dawned on me that most of our brides have an insatiable appetite for information on everything surrounding their big day, so with this in mind, it is my aim to give you some bridal industry insight, and a wide range of advice that isn't just limited to wedding dresses and tiaras.

Hopefully I can make you smile too when I recount some of the best moments we've had in the 30 year history of The Wedding Shop. So please watch this space and see what life is like from our side of the counter.

That's it for now, I'll be back with more soon.
