Over the moon to receive this happy picture from one of our regular customers who was mother of the bride, looking stunning in her Fely Campo outfit. Pictured here with the mother of the groom who looks so chic in her Irresistible Bardot dress. We had a great time in the shop helping them both to choose their outfits for such a special wedding! Thank you ladies- you both look amazing!
Delighted to receive these gorgeous pictures from our stunning customer looking in her Marfil dress and Snoxells hat at her son’s recent wedding. So many Mothers of the Bride or Groom come to us worried that wedding outfits can be a bit old fashioned and frumpy. You can see from these pictures that’s definitely a thing of the past! We think that Tina looks more like sister of the groom!
We were over the moon to have been sent this fabulous picture from one of our lovely customers at her cousin's recent wedding.

So pleased to receive this stunning picture from our lovely customer wearing her Fely Campo outfit at her son’s recent wedding. We helped Elaine to customise her look, ordering a different style of jacket to the one we had in store. The hat was specially ordered to match from Sarah Crozier Hats at no extra cost from the styles in store and her shoes were dyed to pick up the colour of the jacket from Rainbow Club. We can help you to design your own unique style as well!
