And just like that, this Boutique chapter has come to a close. These past few days have been the ultimate rollercoaster of emotions but being surrounded by so many phenomenal Brides collecting their girls (and looking like a tribe of goddesses in their chosen handmade outfits) has been the best tonic! So, as I sit here tonight and think about every individual that’s stepped through these doors, every belly laugh conversation, every tear we’ve shared, from my first Bride, Emma, to my final Bride, Mel… from each designer I’m proud to call friends before business partners thank you, truly, these have been the best years of my life. FACT! And if there is a legacy from the Boutique then I hope it’s encouraged everyone to vote with their money and support small businesses, and I don’t just mean within Bridal - I mean from coffee shops, florists, cafes - don’t let the big corporations win! Support who YOU believe in, and when it comes to weddings I hope you remember to do Bridal YOUR way! There are no rules, so don’t stick to any - represent you and your teammate! Always! And finally - never shy away from pursuing your dreams, make it happen, no one else will do it for you and trust me, you will NEVER regret it! And on that note… it’s time for me to turn the lights off one last time, wipe away these tears of joy & pride and head home to the most supportive hot-husband who had promised me a pastry & a comforting spiced chai before we pack those rucksacks for the Himalayas… nôs da Boutique world, I’ve loved you and the life you’ve helped me to create. Namaste team, go make your dreams a reality ✨

Boutique Bride Cat, has a huge place in my heart… from the moment this glorious individual stepped into my Boutique world and expressed her love for all things crochet, for joyful colour & for sharing every decision with her wing-man - the ultimate team! 🙌🏼❤️✨
•
Some people don’t appreciate (or understand) the importance of championing a small business & supporting our handmade creativity - but Cat GOT IT! 100%! I feel like I had known this wonderful soul for years, not just a few hours. Thank you Cat, thank you for being the ultimate Boutique Bride and thank you for being the total goddess you are in your ‘Tillie’ dress & bespoke ‘Greta’ crop by - what an outfit to celebrate love in! High five, Cat, HIGH FIVE! 🙌🏼🤍🌸

26/11/2022

Do you believe that there are certain times in our lives when the stars align & it seems that the universe is listening?… I do… truly I do…✨
• From the moment my neighbour told me my dream unit had come up for rent & she had arranged a meeting for me…👀
• From the moment I left with the keys in hand without a clue of how I go about establishing a business…🔑
• From the moment I sent ‘send’ email to to discover she had just got back from travelling and wanted to meet for a coffee… she officially became the first Boutique Designer… 🤍
• From the moment eight years later I popped a letter through the door of the family that owned the unit to ask if they would consider selling the unit to me not property developers…📮
• From the moment they said yes…🙏🏼
• To the moment when an email arrived in my inbox having heard my news to close this precious chapter…and asking a question…💌
• To saying yes to another female founded business to take over the premises that means so much to me … to a business who will continue to champion creativity, knowing these four walls will still be surrounded by all the love & giggles… ❤️
• To - I wish you all the love and success in the world, if it’s anything like what I’ve experienced you’re in for the best time of your life! 🙌🏼
Next week is my last week here & I’m feeling all the emotions right now, this is my little haven but I cannot tell you how happy it makes me knowing there’s a new chapter of bridal launching here in the new year! Go give them all a follow and support them as you have me. Namaste universe, you really do know how to deliver… 🙏🏼🪐✨

24/11/2022

It’s Thursday which means it’s that time of the week when I get to introduce you to another wonderful Boutique Bride! WOO HOO! And this week it’s the glorious Sophie! 🙌🏼🤍✨
Sophie married her Mike and channelled the ultimate relaxed party vibes in our Ivory ‘Frankie’ separates paired with our floral ‘Eden’ sash and fresh flowers in her hair! The ultimate modern boho dreams! 🌿🌸🤍 These two exchanged their vows surrounded by nature & partied hard outside (the ultimate sign of a good time is when the hem of your skirt is no longer the same colour as when you first put her on and leaves have made their way into the tulle!) YAS TEAM! YASS! Congratulations love birds, keep on partying hard forever please! 🤘🏼🤍✨

Hello beautiful shoes that don’t scream ‘IM WEDDING SHOES’!
•
High five to gorgeous & comfy shoes that can totally be worn again and again! YASSSSS! These beauts are currently on sale on my website (along with lots of others!) so have a 👀, and remember - once they’ve gone, they’ve gone! ✨

19/11/2022

Words that sum up this facial expression…

• PROUD - to have established a business from a ‘what if’ moment to a reality…
🤍
• EMPOWERED - by the amount of individuals that step through these doors who are determined to support small businesses!
🤍
• PASSIONATE - about championing our creativity in Wales. FOREVER! These designers I have the honour of calling friends are nothing short of phenomenal! Fact!
🤍
• CONTENT or in Welsh BODLON within these four walls, my sanctuary, my world for ten years.
and finally:
• THE UNIVERSE: she does deliver, but she needs to know you want it in the first place - I don’t believe that quote ‘good things happen to those that wait’ - I think good things happen to people that MAKE IT HAPPEN- dream it, believe it, action it and before you know it you’re living it!
🤍
Lots of words for one post there, if you made it to the end- high five, go grab yourself a cosy cuppa! Happy weekend team ✨

When Brides embrace colour, red lippy and a cheeky Welsh love spoon! Take a bow Charlotte - the ultimate Boutique Bride! 🙌🏼 This fabulous soul handled postponing their pre-covid wedding with such grace, dignity and always bought so much JOY to our appointments with that bloomin’ gorgeous smile! ❤️
Charlotte wasn’t afraid to embrace all the colour (along with sequin converse) in her ‘Delta dress & London Crop’ by Thank you for being you Charlotte! You utter BABE! ❤️💛🤍💜🧡💚💙💖✨👑

Hello new week in the Boutique (and yay to Autumnal sunshine this morning too! Woo hoo!) This coming Friday 11th marks the start of our Sample Sale days here in the Boutique - we never have sample sales so it’s all rather exciting with not just shoes & accessories available but also an incredible range of handmade dresses & crops too (including this beauty, ‘Isla’!) If you have any questions or have your eyes on a particular dress / outfit send me a DM and I can tell you all the details! Ok team, let’s make this week a goodie! ✨🍂🤍

Taking the time to sit & reflect about what we’ve achieved as a team and I know im biased, but I think it’s pretty bloomin special... ❤️🙏🏼✨

High five to handmade Bridal outfits that don’t just look bloomin’ gorgeous but are practical & comfy at the same time! Win win situation!

Beautiful (comfy & practical) shoes that don’t scream BRIDAL … I’m all for that!!! Sadly though, our collections in the Boutique have been discontinued - so I’ve decided to pop them on my Instagram stories today with their sizing and pricing and if you see a pair you like just send me a DM and they’ll be yours! (I’m happy to post them too) Happy Tuesday ✨

29/10/2022

Technically, I don’t have many Saturdays left in the Boutique before I bid farewell… (blimey, that feels very strange to type…) so I’m making the most of taking in this view- rails of handmade bridal, bursting with creativity & beauty… ❤️
•
I should also mention that I’ll be holding a Sample Sale day on the 12th November, drop me a DM or send me an email to book in. Appointments will be an hour each & once the girls have gone, they have gone… (goodness me, I shall miss them… time for a coffee I think!)
•
Happy Saturday team, thank you for the love & support this week, it’s been emotional to say the least! ❤️

27/10/2022

After all your incredible messages of love & support these past few days (thank you, truly, to each & everyone of you that has reached out!) what better way to celebrate the Boutique & all it represents with this weeks Boutique Bride, the one & only, Jo! ✨
•
Jo is the epitome of the Boutique, with a passion for championing Welsh creativity, by constantly supporting numerous small businesses & together with her Ben - they totally represented who they are as a team whilst exchanging those precious vows outside in the forest! Thank you for being you Jo, not only am I honoured to call you a Boutique Bride, but I’m also proud to now call you a cherished friend too. ❤️

❤️ WE DID IT & NOW FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE…❤️
•
We made double figures team!

TEN wholesome years of championing handmade…

TEN remarkable years of welcoming incredible brides through these doors…

TEN cherished years that I wouldn’t change for the world… BUT… as I always say to my Brides ‘if you have an itch, you have to scratch it’, and that’s exactly what I have to share with you today…
•
I’m sitting here with my morning cuppa writing this news to share with you and my heart is happy, my soul is grateful, yes my eyes maybe a little emotional but this comes from a place of celebration and pure joy! The Boutique is flying, she’s stronger & busier than ever, she’s a Boutique that I could see myself in forever… honestly… but the time has come for me to bow out gracefully and scratch that itch of running around the world. With a one way ticket to India booked in January, the hot husband & I have a new chapter on the horizon…
•
How amazing that the Boutique has made it to double figures, in a world of mass produced we stood up and fought against the grain! With no degree in business & no maths GCSE just a passion to re-write the Bridal scene in Wales (and beyond) - DOING BRIDAL OUR WAY!
•
I’m sure there’s lots of questions… and of course I will answer all of these in due course- but - for now, please join me in celebrating what we’ve achieved (together as a team), because honestly, the BEST thing about the Boutique has been the people I have got to meet. From Designers, Brides & like minded business owners who have now become friends- I’VE TRULY LOVED THIS BOUTIQUE WORLD & when I close those doors for the final time on December 3rd it will be with a heart full of love & respect for these precious four walls (though I’m sure those emotions will be running high too!).
•
PENBLWYDD HAPUS BOUTIQUE BACH, happy birthday little Boutique of mine - you have given me the best ten years of my life. FACT. ❤️

22/10/2022

A Boutique that celebrates the beauty of a female body… that’s us… we’re only small, but our collections empower Brides to represent who they are! Namaste to that! 🙏🏼✨🤍

Thank you for another spectacular week team! Here’s to a cosy Autumnal weekend surrounded with endless pastries & fresh coffee! 🥐☕️✌🏼

My biggest piece of advice for my Brides on their wedding day is - OWN IT! DO NOT BE PRECIOUS WITH YOUR CHOSEN GIRL! 🙌🏼
And I’m thrilled to see that’s exactly what that Boutique Bride Manon did in her Elliot dress & Indie crop! Yas babe! Get the shades on, hand the bouquet over, hitch up your skirt & embrace those beach walks! 🙌🏼🕶☀️

It's about knowledge. 🤍
It's knowing who made it, whose livelihoods you are supporting, where your fabrics came from. It's about conscious consumerism, empowered purchasing and also working with some very, very talented & creative individuals! All nestled together in one little Boutique by the seaside… Namaste team 🙏🏼

15/10/2022

Bridal separates… one of my favourite elements about them (aside from being super chic, very comfy and incredibly fashion forward) is that a Bride can totally rock them again after the wedding. Mix the top with a pair of jeans, favourite shoes and look EPIC again the day after the wedding! 🙌🏼There’s no reason not to get as much wear out of your amazing outfit as possible! Why leave them in the darkness of your wardrobe!? Take them out in the sunshine to glow with you! ☀️🤍✨

13/10/2022

What do you do when it’s pouring down on your wedding day?! YOU CRACK ON & MARRY YOUR SOULMATE! 🙌🏼🤍✨
Let me introduce you to Boutique Bride, Abi, who did just that! No rain was going to wipe that beautiful smile away when marrying her Robin! Covered from head to toe in handmade Abi embraced the weather, rocked a cardy & even went on a boat trip! (check out today’s stories for these amazing pics!✨)
Remember you can’t control the weather, so don’t fight it - embrace it and remember that you’re marrying your teammate - what’s more special than that!!!? 🙌🏼☔️🤍

11/10/2022

After a wholesome weekend full of love, friendships, pastries & sunshine the girls are ready to meet this weeks Brides! YAY! 💞✨🤍
And I know it may sound ‘cringe’ but honestly, that feeing when I open the doors & see these handmade beauties looking all dreamy fills me with so much joy & gratitude … it’s not about mass producing, it’s not about having five bridal boutiques or having three brides in all at the same time - it’s about doing one thing well, doing it with love and a huge amount of passion! Yes, it maybe physically small but I’m certain we have a very loud voice! Ok Tuesday, let’s make this week a goodie!!!!! 🙌🏼

What an honour to introduce you to Boutique Bride- Ffion today! My queen of swishing-in-your-dress! 👑🤍✨
Ffion looked utterly sensational in our dotty ‘Lottie’ gown, paired with a forest green velvet sash, shoes to match and rocked a floral hoop instead of a bouquet! 🌼
The other very important thing to mention about Ffion is her love for bumble bees! I just knew we’d get on as soon as this wonderful woman stepped through the doors! Please make sure you check out the Boutique stories today to see how to ‘own your dress’ on your special day exactly like Ffion did! WHAT A BRIDE! 🙌🏼💞🐝

You know my thoughts on foxy back details… I LOVE it! During most ceremonies your friends & family will be looking at the back of an outfit, so don’t forget to add a little jazz there too if you wish! (that doesn’t mean it needs to be mega low or super revealing - buttons, ribbons & the small details are equally as punchy!)
If you’re searching for your outfit this week then YAY! Have a super day & remember that comfort is key! 🙌🏼

You know when you meet someone and you absolutely LOVE being in their company… well that is EXACTLY how I feel about Boutique Bride, Naomi! This utter legend has the most joyful energy! From her beaming smile to story telling tales during our appointments which left my face aching with laughter (and bringing cake!!!) - honestly, I couldn’t adore Naomi more if I tried and get this for a Boutique Bride outfit:
• Our ‘Jamie’ jumpsuit (with pockets!)
• Worn with our full length sleeve boho ‘Bailey’ dress…
• Paired with a full length veil for the ceremony,
• Changed into a sequin jacket for the evening,
• GOLD PLATFORMS & FLOWERS IN THE HAIR!
What a VIBE & what a BRIDE! YAS TEAM! YASSSSSS! ✨🙌🏼🤍
