Well, it's show time! At this time of year the shows come thick and fast. Almost every weekend there is a show of one kind or another. Last weekend we were at Olympia for the National Wedding Show and this is always busy. It's really nice to be at such a buzzy show and it's great to see what all the other stands have on offer. This weekend we are off to Harrogate where we do our buying of wedding dresses for next year. I'm really excited to see what the new designers will be showing and maybe look at some new designers. It's always good to get fresh new ideas.
The weekend after that is our Mother of the Bride and Groom Fashion Show at the Marks Tey Hotel in Colchester. This is a real highlight of the year for me. I really love seeing all the models in the stunning new outfits parading down the catwalk, they look so good it really brings a lump to my throat! I feel like a proud Mum watching her daughter at the first school play!
I've had some really lovely customers in the shop over the last few weeks, and Jodie, if you read this you look really fantastic in your Ronald Joyce dress. It's such a wonderful feeling when you help a bride find her perfect dress. On the April 4th my daughter Olivia will be a bridesmaid and I can't wait, she's only three and she's so excited, Bryony is making her the prettiest ballerina style dress with massive tuelle skirt, the only trouble is she thinks she's marrying the Groom!
