What is your most memorable wedding?
Oh gosh! Where would we even begin?! Honestly, there isn't just one specific wedding which stands out to us. Due to the nature of the wedding dress and groomswear process we spend a lot of time with our brides and grooms and we honestly do become close to them all, so for us, every wedding is special and we remember them all! Every now and again a name of a past bride will pop into our head, or a past bride will come and see us with a family member or friend who is now looking for her dress, and we will reminisce and remember their wedding day. Every bride stands out to us and has their own stories, every wedding is different and unique. So we are constantly hearing new ideas, new stories and new wedding themes, which we carry with us and think about from time to time.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Beautiful, calm, Luxury, unique, fun!
What about your business are you most proud of?
That's easy... it's our team. Our team of ladies are the most caring, hardworking and fun people to be around. We all love working together and it shows. We know that every bride who steps through our door will be cared for and in safe hands with our girls. They will laugh with our brides, cry with them and get just as excited about their wedding as they will be! They will be a bride's professional stylist and also their friend. The support they give to our brides and the relationships they form with them is amazing to see. They bring out body confidence in brides that they never knew was there. We wouldn't be where we are now without our girls - our GSB family. They go above and beyond to make sure our brides have the best bridal experience possible and will always look back on their time with us with a smile.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It's to remember that this is YOUR day. It's so easy to get wrapped up in other people's opinions, and it's easy to feel disappointed when someone doesn't agree with your choices. Don't let other people dictate how your wedding should be. Every wedding is personal, its about the bride and groom, bride and bride, or groom and groom. You don't want to end up with a wedding that isn't yours, a wedding that has been taken over by everyone else's choices. Make the right decisions for you! It's your day! It will be you looking back at the photos in 30, 40 years time and reminiscing on your day. You don't want to have constant regret that you didn't have the wedding you wanted. At the end of the day, every guests at your wedding will be having such a wonderful time that they will love whatever you do. So do what you envisioned for you day and have fun with it!! You will want to remember your wedding planning journey as a fun and exciting time, not as stressful one. Go to the correct suppliers for you, ones that have a good reputation and ones that will support you. This will make your wedding planning a calm and well looked after process.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Oh wow we have seen lots!!! Every wedding is such a personal day and there are so many times we have seen new and unique ideas. But the ones which stand out are when brides who have lost loved ones quite close to their wedding day and they requested we embroider their lost loved one's name on their dress or veil so they are carrying them with them on their day.
