Tell us about your Yorshire bridal boutique...
Bijou Bridal Boutique is an independent multi-award-nominated bridal retailer in the heart of Holmfirth in West Yorkshire, specialising in British designer bridalwear, bridesmaids' dresses and bridal accessories.   

We specialise in offering Brides a first-class customer service experience in a modern and contemporary boutique showcasing the best of British bridal fashion.

What's your background and why did you launch your business?
I launched my beautiful bridal business back in September 2014 and I've never looked back! Having worked for two major world airlines in a customer-facing capacity for most of my career, and having a family retail background, bridal was always a passion of mine, which I pursued at the right time for my family. 

During the Summer of 2014, the perfect premises presented itself in my hometown of Holmfirth, and I was able to launch my business in the September of 2014. It has continued to grow and we moved to larger premises in October 2018 just a few doors down, which has been an extension of my incredible journey helping brides and bridesmaids to find their perfect dresses. 

What's your favourite style of wedding dress?
I am a classic girl at heart with a love of romance and happy endings and so my favourite wedding dress is the timeless ballgown style with a structured bodice and delicate detail - nothing too fussy!  The wedding dress should be an extension of a bride's natural beauty and a reflection of her individual style and personality.  

What's your top tip for couples planning their wedding?
Enjoy the journey! Don't get stressed, and make sure that everything you plan for is what the two of you want, and you haven't been pressured into anything. It's your celebration of your love for one another!

What's the most common question you get asked by couples?
The most common question I am asked by brides in the bridal boutique is "How will I know it's the dress?" I answer that it's important to have an open mind and try on different styles, you will know it's the one when you have it on. As well as the dress looking beautiful, there is always an emotional attachment to a dress! You may not necessarily cry, but there will be a strong reaction!

Legal experts warn couples not to change wedding plans amid wedding law reforms

Proposed changes to 19th Century weddings laws could be about to change everything for couples, but one legal expert has urged wedding planners to hang fire before making any changes to their big day. Legal experts from The University of Law say: "While there have been various updates to wedding laws in recent years, such as legalising same-sex marriage and changing the legal age requirement for marriage, nothing has changed the laws that govern marriage to this extent since the 1800s. "The main thing couples need to know now, is that nothing is going to change in the immediate future. The reforms still need public consultation, then the usual Parliamentary processes before implementation, all of which could take many years.

7 Ways Marriage Celebrations Will Change By 2035

Planning a wedding used to follow a predictable script – white dress, church ceremony, big reception with 150+ guests. But it seems those days are numbered. According to this expert, the next decade promises to completely reshape how couples say "I do," driven by technology advances, environmental concerns, and evolving social attitudes. Wedding expert Nick Bramer from Country House Weddings, a family-run business specialising in exclusive-use venues across the UK, has witnessed these changes first-hand at their castle and country estate locations. "We're seeing couples make bold choices that would have seemed impossible just five years ago," says Bramer. "The traditional wedding playbook is being rewritten entirely."

No ring? No proposal! New study reveals the top reasons for a proposal turn down

A new survey of 2000 UK adults has revealed timing is everything when it comes to a proposal, but so is taste. In an era where perfect proposals are deemed as Instagram-worthy backdrops and a professional photographer, this study reveals that the fundamentals are what couples are really wanting. A new study, commissioned by professional jewellers, F. Hinds, shows nearly 3 in 10 (29%) would be turned off by a public proposal, whilst another 29% would say no if it happens on someone else's special day, such as a birthday or even another person's wedding day. The engagement ring itself still plays a pivotal role. In fact, nearly 1 in 5 (20%) say the ring, or lack of one, can make or break the moment, proving that in an era of bigger is better, the perfect ring is still the ultimate "yes" factor.

Legal officiants vs legal venues

Legal officiants vs legal venues

The wedding industry in the UK is worth £14.7billion, and the average cost of a wedding is over £20,000. With not only the cost, but the time and effort put into your wedding and making it one of the most special days of your life, you want to make sure that the event does actually legally marry you and your partner! Joanna Newton, a partner at Stowe Family Law, advises on the changes, and what couples need to consider.... In England and Wales, for your marriage to be legally binding, your ceremony venue needs to be a registered location. For more and more people, this is their local registry office, as they are choosing to have their wedding in venues that, whilst special to the couple, are unlicensed. In many cases, this means couples are having two weddings – one for the legal bit and one for the fun!
