I started building the business and opened the boutique whilst on maternity leave, and it was then run by my wonderful 'dream team' of bridal consultants so I could really focus on the planning and strategic elements in my spare time. My vision for the boutique was to give brides the wedding dress-buying experience that they would never forget. Making sure all the special touches, high levels of detail, expertise and energy were there for every single appointment. Listening to what our brides wanted and ensuring we did everything possible to make that happen, and more! We had a wonderful reputation for excellent service and attention to detail. This is proved by the huge number of brides who came through our doors via recommendations. Oh, and I'm sure our beautiful collection of dresses helped! And yes, I did try on all the dresses!
