January Competition Winner!

As January draws to a close we truly can't believe how quickly this month has gone! We have travelled far and wide this month from Knebworth to Newmarket and we have met so many lovely brides to be. Samantha Brook, who visited our stand at the Newmarket show, was the very excited winner of our January half price wedding dress competition!

 

We have another fabulous competition running at all of our February shows. You can find details of where we are on the Diary Dates page of our website. We look forward to seeing you there!

  

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?

Our fabulous sale is here again! 50% off all sale dresses.....when they are gone they are gone!!

 

 

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!
