Spring Forward
Spring is here, the daffodils are out and on a sunny day you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, I always think that makes you feel like summer is on its way.

Ready Steady Show
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!

E-commerce, Catwalks & Fire!
January has whizzed by and I can't believe we're in February already. Saturdays continue to be the busiest day and we're open some Sundays so make sure you ring for an appointment.
The website is going from strength to strength and I must say a huge thank you to all the brides who have given me such a positive feedback about my blog! We have just introduced on-line sales for the mother of the bride and groom outfits in the sale section and it's being received really well. We're hoping to expand it to the rest of the occasion wear range. All the new outfits are starting to come in now and I really love the new Linea Raffaelli and as our best man is now getting married in April I think I'm going to have a hard time deciding which one to have!
We are having a fashion show just for the Mums on Sunday the 15th March at the Marks Tey Hotel. We have two show times 11am & 1.30pm. It's really good fun and it's great for the mums to have a special day that's just for them with no brides dresses or bridesmaids. After all they put such a lot of time and care into the planning of the wedding.
I have to say this week has been a bit out of the ordinary, on Monday there was snow so all of our evening and fitting appointments cancelled but then we gained some from people who had the day off due to the snow. Then on Tuesday the Chinese restaurant across the road caught fire! There were fire engines everywhere and I have to say they did a brilliant job and put it out within minutes. Before you ask I didn't see any hunky firemen but then I am happily married so obviously wasn't looking!
