🩷CAKE SMASH … age 38 😝🩷

Cocktails in the castle content isn’t over yet, we turned five in style 🤣

Not entirely sure why this felt like a fun idea at the time, mum definitely enjoyed making sure I could still find cake up my nostrils the next day 🤪🤣

Sorry we loved our birthday cake, I promise we still ate it AND I’ll post the pretty pics we have of it soon so everyone can see how pretty it was before we lost our minds a little 🤤🥰

Great snaps 👌🏽

🩷DREAM TEAM🩷

We are only just coming back down from the most incredible high of our hugely anticipated Cocktails in the Castle event on Saturday 🥰

As we wear our slippers to work on a daily basis, we figured that wearing our PJ’s to our party made perfect sense 🥰

The hard work that went into this from the entire team is not for the faint hearted, when you already have a very busy bridal lounge to manage, we worked around the clock to perfect everything & make sure you were going to have the best time with us🥰

I first had the idea of doing this kind of event about 3 years ago, my event planning days for my sins have never really left me. I have always thought if I was a bride, what would I want to do and so I combined my event management days, my love for empowering our brides and my continued love for a bloody good party!!!!

Natalia & I talked event details all day, every day every day for weeks, this event took over our lives, but we couldn’t be prouder ❤️

Cocktails in the Castle was created to celebrate our 5th birthday but the feedback is calling for an encore so watch this space 😝

I can honestly say the energy every single person brought on Saturday exceeded all of our expectations, there are soooo many thank you’s and I promise I will get round to them very soon. The incredible suppliers, the beautiful models and everyone of you that bought a ticket to join the party …. We are so proud of the feedback from the day!!

The atmosphere was electric from the get go & whilst we could always improve certain areas because we are fussy buggers ….. we are obsessed with the pics, videos and content we’ve received from everyone 🔥

I cried tears of stress (and maybe lack of sleep) on Saturday morning not knowing if we could pull it off but then I cried tears of happiness on the Sunday when we read some of the feedback & chatted over the day at breakfast 🥹❤️

On behalf of the team, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for celebrating with us, how we top this is a thought for another day 😂

THE ULTIMATE BRIDES DAY OUT …. I think we smashed it, if I do say so myself ❤️🩷

🤍LOOKING BACK ON 2024🤍

As we prepare to turn our back on 2024, reflection is high on the agenda this next few days whilst we are still closed. Business wise it’s been our best year yet so THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH 🥰

Flu took me and the family down for Christmas so I’ve failed to be as present on here as I’d hoped, just the most normal task is a challenge at the minute for us all 🤒

We’ve had a little delay on our business birthday release, I’m blaming the flu for that too buuuuut tickets for that will be available any day. I’ll give you the heads up as there will be limited tickets and once they’ve gone, they have gooooone, eeeeeeek 🥰❤️

2025, I’m still in recovery mode from 2024 it would seem, so don’t come round too quick please 🤣

Ps ….. tell me you are as obsessed with this image as me 😍 Both dresses are by 😍

🤍LAST CALL🤍

Day one of December, so here’s a little reminder if you are getting married in 2025 ideally you should be looking to say YES before we close for Christmas 🥰

We are still seeing soooo many girls getting married next summer and whilst most designers are still just about ok, we already have one designer we can no longer get within your time frame 🥰

Don’t put shopping off girlies …. The longer you leave it the more limited your choice becomes as you can often find yourself only able to buy an outlet dress. This can be perfect for some but it can mean the search is much harder as you need to not only find a dress you love but it also has to be the right size for you as well won’t have time to order! If it can be helped, don’t limit yourself 🥰

To have your YES TO THE DRESS moment before we close for Christmas get yourself booked in over on our website…. We will be closing from December 21st this year and we don’t reopen until January 8th 🥰

🤍SOPHIA TOLLI🤍

We have had the pleasure of carrying this wonderful designer since the early High Society days and we are proud to be a platinum stockists for the second year running 🥰

Our bridal lounge is bursting with dresses & every designer is hand picked with you in mind. We ONLY fill our rails with designers we are super confident in…. it’s ok for a dress to look beautiful stood still but they must have the support and structure for you. Our Sophia Tolli dresses are incomparable in terms of the structure & we will never tire of seeing your giddy faces when you first try a Sophia gown 🥰

Could you be the next Sophia Tolli bride?

🤍WELCOME TO THE MADHOUSE🤍

These are the faces that will greet you during one of the most special moments of your life. We are so privileged to be a part of so many bridal journeys & we do not underestimate the importance of this experience 💕

Yes, there is A LOT of happiness & excitement in the bridal lounge but there are also so many other emotions we know you could be feeling. Sadness of someone not being able to be there, body confidence worries, social media pressure, poorly family members, family dynamic struggles and the list really does go on ❤️

We are not just your bridal stylist, we are here to emotionally support you in whatever way you may need. We call it the madhouse here because it really is most days! We laugh that we are a dysfunctional work family & we absolutely welcome you all to join. No matter what is going on in your life, we are here to ensure this is the most magical experience for you💕

Choose your bridal shop wisely, not everyone will have the ability to adapt to your needs & really care about your experience. You are looking for your dream dress but it should also be your dream experience 💕

We are here for YOU & we are team bride always 💕
