A Disney Wedding - Felicity and Chris

I was very privileged to attend this gorgeous bride Felicity on her wedding day last summer, to help her and her bridesmaids into their lovely outfits.  

We supplied outfits and accessories for the bride, bridesmaids, groomsmen and both the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom. 

Felicity and Chris were married at All Saints Church in Hastings old town, and had their reception at the Cooden Beach Hotel.  

The dress she chose is our style "Sophie" and the bridesmaids wore a combination of minty aqua satin and ivory.

The grooms outfits complimented these with a combination of the bridesmaids colours in their waistcoats and ties. 

The bridegroom Chris did some modelling for us many years ago, and both Felicity and Chris work at Euro Disney in Paris.  

What a lovely couple they make, and what a beautiful day it was.  

Thank You - Alex Tomlins

We received this picture and great review from Alex Tomlins.

Alex was married to Peter on the 11th April at Port Lymne Zoo.  Alex was driving past Anne Marie Bridals and saw her dream dress "Jolie" in the shop window and fell in love instantly and just had to have it.  We also supplied her beautiful fingertip length veil and diamante tiara and bridal shoes.  Her gorgeous vintage style brooch bouquet completes the look beautifully.  Alex wrote this review for us :

"Amazing service, lovely staff and so helpful at every visit.  Made me feel like a princess, like every bride should. Thank You!"

Thank You - Million Dollar Hannah

We love it when our happy customers decide to share some pictures and send us letters of thanks! This one was received from one of our brides "Hannah Auer (was Duff) who was married on the 7th June 2013 at Leeford Place. 

Hannah chose a beautiful mermaid shape dress named "Tierney" and teamed this with a cathedral length crystal edged veil and a sparkly Gatsby style side headdress which we think complimented the dress perfectly we think Hannah looks absolutely stunning, definitely a million dollars!

 Following is the letter and pictures that Hannah was kind enough to share with us.

"Hi Anita & Helen,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help & advice & everything you did for me in the lead up to my wedding day. Anita, for suggesting the beautiful dress that ended up being the one & the veil which was just amazing (the photographer liked the veil so much, he stole me away from the meal to get some pics of it while the sun was setting) & Helen, for the alterations & suggestions for the perfect accessories. We had the most perfect day & the weather was beautiful without being too hot. 

I felt a million dollars & can't stop looking through 

the pictures! I want to do it every day now! :)


Anita, I promised you some photo's of it all put together, so here they are & again, thank you for all you did. I will definitely be recommending you to friends & family & anyone else who'll listen! :)
