Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - June/July 2020 (Issue 83)

BRIDAL BOUTIQUES 65  the one FINDING We shine the spotlight on local bridal boutiques to help you find the dress of your dreams Owner David Ferriman says, “Blossom Bridal is situated in the heart of Witney, 12 miles west of Oxford and has been looking after brides since 2007. We offer a fabulous collection of wedding gowns, with plus size and curvy couture designers available. Fabric choices include mikado, sumptuous silks and satins, soft chiffon and delicate lace, with Swarovski crystals, diamanté and pearl details helping transform your gown, for you to make that stunning entrance. “We also offer bridesmaids collections, available in a kaleidoscope of colours to complement your wedding theme. Matching accessories including shoes (that can be dyed in a colour of your choice), veils, tiaras and wedding jewellery to help complete that perfect look. “You are welcome to pop in, but we do advise booking an appointment for a one-to-one with our experienced staff, to avoid disappointment if we are already busy looking after other brides. If you fall in love with any of our current designer gowns, we offer you one groom hire with our compliments or, £100 towards any of our bridesmaids collections.” Designers in stock: San Patrick, White One, Tres Chic, Veromia and our curvy couture collection Whiterose Graceful. Focusing on structure, fit and with the opportunity to make style changes on selected gowns, this will give you confidence to find your dream dress. “We also have a fabulous off the peg collection. They have been on display, and may have the odd tiny imperfection but the majority are in excellent condition. They are all by current designers, but in order to make way for new gowns they have been put into this collection for you,” says David. “If you fall in love with any of these gowns you will be able to walk away with it on the day, unfortunately dresses cannot be reserved as they are offered to you at a fabulous price, but we are still happy to offer you a payment plan to help with your wedding budget.” Budget: £995 to £2,000. Payment plans on all dresses. What top tip would you give to brides when dress shopping? Be open minded, try dresses on that you may not think you will like, as you may be pleasantly surprised. Wedding dress shopping is not your every day buy so make sure you go with people you trust and value their opinion, never forgot it is your dress so stay true to yourself. Try not to book too many bridal shop appointments because you'll become ‘dress blind’ and then making a decision becomes overwhelming. What’s your favourite dress in your collection? I have added a favourite from both our curvy range, Whiterose Graceful Wp465 , and one from our other designers San Patrick Anade .
