SEARCHING FOR THE ONE Surrey Brides, which sits proudly on Church Street in Weybridge, is celebrating its 25 th anniversary. The owner, Deborah, has worked hard to establish this renowned boutique which offers dresses from some of Britain’s best designers. “It’s a passion and a hobby, as well as my profession, it’s a pleasure to dress and be part of a women’s wedding journey,” says Deborah. “We aim to make brides feel relaxed as it can be quite daunting, and some women feel awkward to start with. This quickly evaporates thanks to the team’s wonderful sense of humour. We’ve worked together for many years and have some brilliant seamstresses and offer a complete service.” For more information, visit www.surreybrides.co.uk A WONDERFUL CAUSE De Vere, a collection of historic properties, has launched a new package to celebrate its reopening, with 10 per cent of each direct bedroom booking going to NHS Charities Together (www.nhscharitiestogether.co.uk).

Ellie Orton, the chief executive at NHS Charities Together, said: “As businesses continue to slowly re-open, we’re delighted that De Vere has elected to support NHS staff, volunteers and patients. The money raised will make a huge difference as we continue to help those directly affected by the pandemic but also help us deal with the aftermath of COVID-19.
