Ciao Eddy K...
Our newest designer Eddy K is finally making an appearance in the boutique and we are in love with these dresses. Earlier this year both Jac and I we were lucky enough to visit Milan to view the prestigious Dreams and Milano collections. Both collections (although different) really captured the the high fashion and sophistication found in what is to many, the fashion capital of the world. The quality, cut, fabrics and style of the dresses are amazing upholding the reputation of Eddy K as being a one of the most respected designers in the wedding industry.

Five Tips for Shopping a Designer Weekend/Trunk Show
Claire Graham Photography
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Research the designer that's being showcased - the shop will be primarily presenting the featured designer so make sure you are interested in their styles to get the most from your experience.
SIZING
The dresses at a trunk show can be on the small side (UK8/10) the reason for this is they're usually the samples used by designers at catwalk shows and photoshoots, so they tend to be ‘model size’. That doesn’t mean however you’ll be unable to try on, it all depends on the cut and shape of the dress and bridal consultants can work wonders to show how the dress could look on you. If however you’re worried about sizing then call the shop before hand and ask or if there’s a particular dress you like ask if they could get it in a larger size for you.
NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T
A designer weekend in just that, a weekend! This means you probably won’t get the chance to come back at a later date and re-try the dress on again so make sure you take along your trusted advisors on the day. Your mum, gran, sister or bridesmaid, anyone who’s opinion you value and trust, so if you find your dream dress you’re in the position to make the decision that day.
DISCOUNTS
Most bridal shops will offer a discount at a designer weekend so take advantage of it - come ready to make a decision because the discount will only apply at the event, not after.
AND THE BEST TIP WE CAN GIVE YOU...
Feel your best underneath - nude seamless underwear and a great strapless bra will not only make you look better when trying on dresses but it will make you feel better too.
Call or email to find out more about our upcoming events.

You will also receive 10% of all Ti Adora dresses this weekend - it's not to be missed!!
Alfred Angelo New Collection

Email or call the boutique to make an appointment.
Shoes Glorious Shoes...
We're so excited to have the latest Rachel Simpson collection in-store and there are even more pretty colours, styles and fabrics than ever before.
We've always been huge fans of Rachel's shoes and so have our brides and we've seen this brand grow from strength to strength over the six years of being a stockist. The latest collection is simply beautiful and really appeals to the modern bride whilst still maintaining the Rachel Simpson signature 'vintage' style.
Ada Shoes
Forget the traditional ivory satin bridal shoes, this collection focusses on a beautiful colour palette of rose golds, pewter, baby blue and blush.
Scarlett Shoes
The designs are sublime with scalloped edge leather, open toes, hidden platforms and flattering t-bars. They are also incredibly comfortable (take it from me, I own far too many pairs!) and are so wearable again and again, dressed up or down, they're incredibly versatile.
Isabelle Shoes - Blue
Emmeline Shoes
Arabella Shoes

One of our gorgeous dresses and veils was featured in The Sun online this week on real life bride and Sun journalist Lynn Kernan.
Lynn was lucky enough to get a bridal makeover by the super talented Laura Gray and we think the finished results are stunning!

Real Bride - Natalie Wong.
This months real bride is the very lovely Natalie Wong who got married at the Lochside Hotel in Cumnock last month.
Natalie came to us last year looking for her dream dress and instantly fell in love with 'Winter' by Alfred Angelo. This dress was the perfect choice for Natalie as it really showed off her slender figure and the light ivory colour was beautiful against her skin tone. Winter is a simple chiffon and net dress with a corset back which our seamstress took out for Natalie and replaced with a zip and small ivory buttons - we also added an underskirt to the bottom to add that extra bit of drama.
Natalie accessorised with the Zambia veil, which is a single tier floor length veil with a diamante edged trim and the Nadia forehead band.
She was also prepared for the Scottish weather with our Minelli feather shrug in Ivory.
Natalie's Bridesmaids also got the Melle Cloche treatment and wore stunning candy coloured dresses in pale grey, petal pink and simple ivory by Bari-Jay.
Thanks so much to Natalie for choosing Melle Cloche to be a special part of your day and allowing us to share your beautiful wedding.

Sottero & Midgley Show
We were lucky enough to be invited by Sottero & Midgley to view their new Fall 16 collection in Liverpool a couple of weeks ago. We had a fab time meeting lots of other stockists and quite a few glasses of Prosecco were drank (purely for social purposes only, you understand!!)
We absolutely loved the collection - so many different looks with duchess satin making an appearance on quite a few and still touches of lace and embroidery along with gorgeous separates, which you can mix and match with different tops and skirts.
Sottero & Midgley really do offer the ultimate in affordable luxury, with exquisite gowns of exceptional quality and extraordinary style. Their collections always have a beautiful blend of the traditional and the contemporary, always with a slight edge and they're all about sophisticated romance.
