What beautiful weather we had yesterday down at Turnberry . As guests enjoyed the magnificent surroundings of the ballroom they could chat to preferred suppliers while tasting the delicious food from the wedding breakfast menu. It was so lovely to be back looking out over that stunning view to Ailsa Craig and Arran . Can there really be a more beautiful setting ?

Celebrating all Mothers today and everyday. We are in the very fortunate position of dressing mothers when their proudest day comes and their son or daughter gets married. What a privilege it is to be part of such a happy time in so many families' lives.
Here are just a few of our beautiful mothers looking Happy, Smiling ,Radiant and Confident ready for the big day.
Every day should be Mothers Day 🥰
Elegant and relaxed is how we like to describe our style . Most of our mothers of the bride and groom tell us they don’t want to look like a’typical’ or ‘classic’ mother . Available in 5 colours this dress could be THE ONE ❤️.
Getting ready to set up our ‘In the Attic ‘ stand G33 at the Scottish Wedding Show at the SECC . We are taking along a selection of our archive samples for sale mostly from £495 to £995 . Could it be your lucky weekend?
Here’s Linda looking so happy, relaxed and elegant at her son’s wedding . Most of our mothers say ‘I don’t want to look like a typical mother of the bride/groom ‘. We can help you look glamorous but at the same time relaxed . It’s all about the cut and the fabric . You won’t find this in a retail shop . This is made to measure . It’s not for everyone but the confidence it gives is worth the extra 😊. groomoutfits
Wow what better ambassador could we have for our brand ! Here’s what Anne said when she saw the video “Oh Joyce I love it 😍😘
Permission …. absolutely. I hope it gives other MOB’s out there some confidence to know that what ever their age, their size, there is the perfect outfit waiting to make a dream come true.
Thank you so much
Ps never mind the tummy, what a pair of legs !!!”
So true Anne I have ‘leg envy’ 😀 xx
How stunning does our London bride Aba look when she married Jack in November ? Her beautiful dress was custom designed especially for her. The church wedding was followed by a reception at Claridges. Here's what she had to say about her experience with us
" I want to thank you for being brilliant at every step of the wedding dress process; you are a dream team.
The gown was beautiful and suited the day perfectly! "
Thank you Aba for being the perfect bride it was an absolute pleasure to create your dress. ❤️
