Well we're pretty exhausted here at Melle Cloche because we've just finished our Sottero & Midgley Designer Weekend. We want to thank all the brides that came along and tried on these stunning dresses and to all the brides who bought their dream dress - we had so much fun, we hope you did too!
Sottero & Midgley Designer Weekend
On Saturday 4th June and Sunday 5th June we’ll be showcasing the brand new fall collection from one of the hottest bridal labels around, Sottero & Midgley.
From the highly esteemed Maggie Sottero design house, Sottero & Midgley offers a contemporary and sophisticated collection for the fashion-forward bride. With Sottero & Midgley fast becoming one of our best selling labels, we’re excited to be able to preview the new collection during the designer weekend ahead of receiving our very own samples in September.
As well as being able to see the new collection and try on the samples, brides who book their appointment for the designer weekend will benefit from a 10% DISCOUNT on the day.
Early booking is recommended as places are strictly limited and demand is expected to be high for this very special event.
Call or email the boutique for an appointment.

Trades Hall Wedding Show.
We had a fantastic time at The Trades Hall Wedding Show on Sunday! Not only did we have a stand packed full of all our beautiful shoes and accessories but we took over the catwalk and showed off just some of our fabulous dresses.
We managed to take some pics of girls backstage, in between all the chaos...

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.
Work at Melle
We're looking for a friendly, energetic and professional Bobby Dazzler to join the Melle Cloche team at our new Merchant City boutique.
The role will initially be 20 hours per week (including weekends) with a view to going full time! Retail experience necessary and although bridal experience is preferred it's not essential.
This is a varied and exciting role so we're looking for a great all rounder with a can-do attitude who can contribute to the day to day running of a busy bridal and accessories boutique.
