NEWS Nearlywed All the latest from around the region FULL STEAM AHEAD Olivia George bridal boutique is looking forward to 2022 and the chance to celebrate their second anniversary in their new home. Owners Michelle Savoy and Carolyn Maker moved the business to premises in Winchester during the first lockdown last year and put the time to good use getting the boutique ready. As well as a different location, they will also be starting out the new year with a mission to focus solely on plus-size bridal gowns. Although they already specialise in dresses up to size 28, they are phasing out their smaller samples and will only be stocking sizes from 14 to 34. “We’re really excited about this and our aim now is all about making sure we have plenty of styles for our brides to try on,” says Carolyn.

Dom, who’s been covering weddings since 2017, joined forces with his friend Emma when he discovered she’d been doing videography as part of her day job and wanted to move into the wedding industry. After working together over the summer, they’re now looking forward to shooting many more weddings next year. Dom adds, “We both have a bright and airy style and Emma, brings a young, fun and bubbly personality to the mix which complements my understated approach. It’s a great combination that also simplifies things for our couples.” For details of their combined service call 07907 313 673 or email dom@dombrenton.com and mention Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding to claim £100 off the full-day package.
