Starting the year with a BANG!!

2015 Has definitely got off to a very exciting start!

We have already met so many new brides who have fallen in love with their dream dress! We have been amazed with the amount of ladies who have applied to join our team and we look forward to introducing the successful candidate very soon! We get to visit some beautiful venues as we tour around showing at wedding fairs, but none are quite as beautiful as Knebworth House. We hope all the couples who visited got lots of ideas!

This weekend we are venturing to Wyboston Lakes where you can catch our gorgeous model on the catwalk and our sale continues in store! 

Would you like to join our team?

Reminiscing...

With Christmas fast approaching and another year drawing to a close we have had a little time to reminisce about all the lovely ladies we have had the pleasure of dressing this year.

 

Everyone says it must be such a lovely place to work, and it truly is. We love hearing all about each individual wedding and learning about all the quirky little twists which make each day unique to the couple. We see tears of joy and lots of laughter, and there is no better feeling than watching someone discover that the dress they are in is 'The One'.

 

It's great when we get to see the finished result. So if you are a Shades of White Bride (no matter how long ago!) don't forget to send us a photograph by e-mail or on social media, or next time your in St Ives pop in with one!

The National Wedding Show September 2014

We have now just about recovered for our weekend away at the National Wedding Show at Earls Court. What a busy weekend we have had, we lost count of the number of brides we met! It was such a great weekend topped off with some very happy brides finding their dream dress.

If you didn't make it this year that's ok, as we did some research for you and hunting out some fantastic wedding suppliers that are most certainly worth a look!




 These Fantastic Cakes were by a very talented lady called Faith Jones, and she delivers!! www.faithjones.co.uk



We had quite a lot of fun on the Happy Wedding company stand! They had a great range of wooden photo booth props as well as a very unique selection of wooden personalised wedding stationary. www.thehappywedding.co.uk

The beautiful flower display is by Amie Bone flowers. She really knew how to create drama for your center pieces. www.amieboneflowers.com/justhire

 We hope this gives all our brides a little inspiration!
