Photo of the Week #20

Photo of the Week comes all the way from Lagos, Nigeria.

Ngozi's Ronald Joyce wedding dress looked beautiful on her big day. Here's what she had to say...

Hope you're all doing good?

I got a beautiful Ronald Joyce dress in 2008 when I got married. I and everyone at the wedding loved my dress.

My sister inlaw is currently shopping for a wedding dress, I'm hoping you would able to get us something equally nice within her budget.

So sorry it's coming 3 years late, better late than never :)

Mary Frost has just popped this picture in to us, even though her wedding was last year.

She hadn't forgotten the promise she'd made to bring us a picture of her Ronald Joyce dress for our photo board.

Photo of the Week #17

Lynn Mitchell looked amazing in her couture Suzanne Neville wedding gown, her beautiful vintage-style headpiece and matched perfectly with the diamante on her shoes.

We thank Lynn and her husband Peter for the lovely card.

Dear all at The Wedding Shop

Just to say a huge 'thank you' to you all for all your help in choosing and fitting my wedding dress, I felt amazing.

Best wishes for the future.

It never ceases to amaze us how our customers continually send in a wealth of fantastic pictures along with such kind letters and cards.

So, it's only fitting that we continually thank all of you for every photograph, card, letter and gift that you send and bring in to us!

Dear Girls at 'The Wedding Shop'

We had the most amazing wedding day and would like to thank you all for your excellent service and advice with regards to my wedding dress, the 'Hilton'. The dress was beautiful and the comments I have had both at the wedding and since have been outstanding.

We are both now embarking on a new adventure to Prague, but on my return in the new year I will call in to see you all with photographs.

Love

Sarah & Jon Beill

This week we see Nicola's close friend Sally Porter feature in Photo of the Week.

Sally's Sassi Holford wedding dress looked fantastic set alongside her turquoise theme. The groom, best men, bridesmaids, and much of the detail at the wedding, tastefully followed Sal's favourite colour.

Jeff (The groom) and the guys all had Grey Prince Edward suits by Cameron Ross, and of course the signature turquoise handkerchief in the breast pocket.

Photo of the Week #11

Helen Dearman's Pronovias wedding dress looked understated and elegant, complimented by a silk hand-made shrug jacket, made in store by Bryony, one of our couture seamstresses.

Helen kindly sent us a card with this lovely message inside:

Dear Christine,

Thank you so much for your kind help and advice - the dress looked so beautiful - I couldn't have been happier with it. It received so many compliments from the guests and from people who've seen the photos. It was the perfect dress!

Many thanks

Love Helen

This week our thanks go to Jane Spooner (née Black) for her lovely pictures. Her little bridesmaids are so adorable.


And once again, we couldn't resist a second picture because it's so lovely.

Photo of the Week #9

We've never seen a wedding picture quite like this one! Donna Chappell's wedding party were invited on this luxury yacht in Cyprus and I'm sure you'll agree it looks like a fabulous setting.

Donna kindly sent us this card and wrote a lovely message:


Christine and all at The Wedding Shop,

From the bottom of my heart thank you very much for helping me choose & purchase my dream wedding dress!

It was packed perfectly and travelled very well to Cyprus with us. The service I received from The Wedding Shop was second to none and I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends + family.

Thanks again

Donna Chappell (nee Calder)


And we've changed the format a bit this week with two pictures because we couldn't decide which one to use.

Our bride of the week is Kelly and her husband Dave, who also hired his menswear suits with us. I’m sure you’ll agree she looks absolutely stunning in her silver Ronald Joyce gown and the groom looks very handsome too!

Here's what Kelly had to say:

Hi Nicola,

Sorry it’s taken forever for me to send you a photo! I’ve attached a couple for you so you can see how the dress looked. I was so pleased with it and had lots of compliments on the day.

Thanks again to you & all the staff at The Wedding Shop who helped us with my dress and our suits. The service we received was fantastic.

Happy New Year,

Regards,


Kelly & Dave Wareham

We're starting the new year with a lovely card from Sarah Saunders who was thrilled with her wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses worn by her sisters.

Many thanks go to Sarah for the card and pictures sent to the shop.

Photo of the Week #6

Our longest serving member of staff, Bryony, is still pleasantly surprised when she receives thank you messages and photographs, even after 22 years at The Wedding Shop! Here's a lovely message that Bryony received from Raquel Surally.


Dear Bryony

Not sure if you remember me but you were my advisor for my wedding dress. I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help you were so lovely with us and patient, on the first session I must have tried on at least 7 dresses - only to go back to the first dress!

Ah but we did have a fun time at the wedding and everyone, including Michael loved my dressed. Most comments being that they had never seen that colour wedding dress before. I wanted to send you a couple of pic's but couldn't decide which one. So instead I've sent you a link to the album(s) there are two, please don't feel you have to look at them, I can imagine you probably get a lot of this - but if you're feeling bored and you want to see the dress on the day then please feel free to have a look.

We all (my bridesmaids Jackie & Sagal and my mum) genuinely left the shop feeling really happy and the customer care we received from all at the shop was fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend The Wedding Shop to any future brides the personal service and attention was worth the journey from Central London, plus it was a good excuse to head out for dinner and drinks afterwards in the town centre :)

Take care and thanks again

Our thanks go to Elizabeth Pawle for sending us so many lovely pictures of her wedding day. Here's what she had to say.


Dear Nicola

It was lovely to see you again this morning.

I'm so sorry I completely forgot to send you any photos of my dress on the day but please now find three attached. I've included one from the back as so many people told me how pretty it looked with the long veil. I was so completely overwhelmed with how amazing I felt in my gown on the day and how beautifully you and your team made it fit. A million thank yous for helping me choose something so perfect.

All the very best,

Elizabeth Pawle (nee Richards)

Photo of the Week #3

This week we have a really nice card from Hannah Harvey and her husband Saunders.


Hannah had some kind words for The Wedding Shop team:


"Thank you so much for all your help in the preparation for our wedding outfits. All the men looked amazing in the suits, and the dress fit like a dream. The service that we got was absolutely amazing and everyone was so friendly. Thanks again, here's another photo from our amazing day. With love Hannah (Mills) & Saunders Harvey."

I think this photo really captures the bride and groom wonderfully and as she rightly says she will always be known as 'The bride with the red shoes'!
