ERIC’S NEWS So Spring is here and love is in the air! We’ve been extra busy at Boho Bride this month! Since Valentines Day lots of lovely brides to be have been for private appointments, to try on our gorgeous gowns. I’ve had a bit of romance myself too lately. A young spritely pup (not sure of breed but I think she’s a pedigree, lovely white coat) has joined the garden centre and we’ve just hit it off! We just can’t get a moment to ourselves though. So I thought a bit of romance would do the trick! Balloons, roses, music! It worked, I snuck in for a cheeky kiss and she loved it! You can meet my new “friend” at our Designer event on the 29th March here at the Boutique. I hope you’ve booked yourselves in as we only have a few seats left! Until then my lovelies….

DARE TO BE DIFFER If your dream wedding ceremony or vow renewal involves trying to create something unique, personal and meaningful then having a celebrant led event could be the perfect solution. Any wedding is ten percent legal and ninety percent ceremonial: celebrants create the ceremonial and work with couples to develop bespoke events, with or without religious aspects, which truly reflect their personalities and relationships. Wendy Dishman, at Side by Side Ceremonies, says: “Meeting with couples and spending time finding out about their lives is a significant part of a celebrant’s role. There is no template or script for love and each story is different. My job is to help craft a wedding ceremony, side by side with a couple, until it is a perfect reflection of them. Celebrants have the freedom to personalise ceremonies in many creative ways and can conduct weddings at any time and almost anywhere.” So, if you dare to be different find out more at: www.sidebysideceremonies.co.uk

OUT & ABOUT WITH BOHO BRIDE Boho Bride have attended a number of wedding fayres over the last couple of weeks including a fashion show which was great fun. Its been fantastic to meet all the lovely Brides-to-be and talking to them about their weddings plans and ideas. One thing that did stand out was the trend for Vintage wedding and “something different.” At Boho Bride you can be sure to find “something different!” We have a gorgeous collection of designer wedding gowns with a vintage/retro edge and we have one of the largest selections for short and tea length gowns, which really seem to be popular this year. Brides-to-be are also asking for gowns in different colours, which we also have a selection of in blush pinks, champagne, cafe cream and silver/grey. Thank you to all the brides that have booked appointments to try on our collections we look forward to welcoming you to the boutique over the next few weeks.

Christine and Jane are the creative talents behind the successful Lou Lou label which celebrated its 21st birthday in 2012! After graduating from the London College of Fashion in Design and Pattern Cutting, they worked together for a small London based bridal company where in 1991 with a wealth of experience and a shared passion for bridal wear, they decided to create Lou Lou, their own label specialising in bridesmaid dresses. These distinctive designs were chic and contemporary leading to Christine and Jane accepting the British Bridal Award for Best Bridesmaid design no less than 4 times. A funky range of prom dresses followed that were bright and exciting, edgy dresses for discerning girls and soon after, the LouLou Bridal Collection was launched. This latest addition to the Lou Lou label encapsulates quintessential British design inspired by all things vintage. The dresses are evocative of the 1950’s and combine beautiful lace appliqué with effortless styling, establishing a signature for future collections.
‘‘Our success comes down to enjoying what we do. We still have a passion to create new designs, enjoy meeting customers and love the challenge of keeping ahead of the others!’’
