■ WELCOME Who doesn’t love a wedding? The vows, the dancing, the speeches.

But it’s the small things, the unplannable moments, that make a big day a special one.

Meaningful words from a parent, seeing your chosen other in their absolute finest, the shared jokes between old friends – no wedding is the same and it’s all the better for it.

The point is, one size does not fit all, and that’s never truer than when it comes to choosing what you’ll wear. Our new wedding collection has something for every style, theme and budget. Not only that, but selected styles are available in two, if not all, of our services – ready-to-wear, hire and bespoke – so you can get the look you love any way it suits. And if that’s not enough, a selection of our most popular pieces now also come in three different fits so everyone’s happy and comfortable but there’s still a cohesive look for the whole wedding party.

All in all? Outfits sorted and more time for the moments that matter.

We’ll toast to that.
