Choosing your venue Securing the right venue for your wedding is a big deal, it will need to hold the right amount of guests, fit in with your theme and provide the services you are looking for. Sometimes it can take longer to book the venue than to find the dress. Here are some things to consider when looking for your dream venue. ✦ Choose a venue that suits your theme and that both you and your partner love

✦ Write a list of items you want to discuss with the venue manager

✦ Decide and stick to a budget

✦ Think about the lighting, especially if you are getting married in winter

✦ Decide on a location that will suit you and your guests

✦ Visit potential venues more than once

✦ Take photos to look at after your visit to visualise your wedding decor ✦ Book in plenty of advance

✦ Ask people you know for recommendations

Everyone wants to feel and look their best at a wedding.

Whether you are the bride, groom bridesmaid, best man or a guest, you want to make sure you have the perfect outfit, accessories and hair and make-up to match. ✦ Bride - Make sure you try on multiple dress styles to find the one you want, once you have purchased the dress find the right viel, shoes and jewelry to match. ✦ Groom - You will want to match your suit to the theme of the wedding, when you go suit shopping take a swatch with you from the bridesmaid dresses or other colour schemes to get a close match.

✦ Best Man - You will want your suit to match or very closely match the groom and so it is best to go suit shopping together.

To Have & To Hold

FOUNDED BY CERIS DAVIES IN 2011 After gaining a degree in Fashion Design, I worked for many years in London’s West End, on some amazing musicals and operas. During this time I developed my knowledge of couture sewing techniques, from some of the most experienced people in the industry. Although I still work on a wide variety of commissions, my love for attention to detail has naturally led me to designing and making couture bridal and occasion wear.

I am able to work with you to create your own bespoke garment for any occassion. Creating your perfect dress is a very personal and exciting experience, from design to the final fitting. All my dresses are hand made using beautiful fabrics sourced in the UK. As I invest a lot of time into every gown I make, the quality of the final creation is very important to me, however simple or complicated the design.

TAILORMADE TO FIT PERFECTLY You are very welcome to book an appointment for a free consultation to discuss your specific ideas and the process in more detail. Wether you are looking to have a bespoke garment designed or you have your own ideas, I can help guide and develop it into a final, beautiful garment.

Bespoke garments such as Bridal Gowns vary in cost depending on complexity of design and fabric choices, but I would be able to give you a quote during an initial meeting once I have an understanding of what you are looking for.
