Christmas Cheer!

Hello to Katie and all the other brides out there who have read my blog and have noticed that I haven't written one for a few weeks! I honestly didn't think anyone would notice.

Its been a lovely week in the shop, lots of fittings being done. Before Christmas is a very quiet time in most wedding shops, so if you're still looking for a dress, now is a fantastic time to have the shop to yourself, after Christmas is quite another story.

I've been really touched by some of the lovely comments that brides have made this week about the service and quality of care they feel they receive from us. It's such a lovely feeling to know you are doing your job properly. Sometimes things just touch you, from one of our brides who's just lost her Dad to the bride who had a bowl of tomato soup tipped down her dress on her wedding day, the way both of these brides have conducted themselves is a credit to them and their families. It helps to keep perspective on what a wedding should be about, not just the dress!

We all went out for our Christmas do last Wednesday and there was a power cut! We ended up eating our dinner by candlelight! Having said that a great time was had by all.

Well, merry Christmas to all of you and I hope you can take a well earned rest from your wedding plans. We are open between Christmas and the New Year, so if you fancy coming to try on some dresses and have a mince pie we'd be pleased to see you!
