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!

Marriage, Money, and Modern Love: Gen Z and Millennials

"As a family barrister, I spend much of my professional life dealing with what happens when relationships break down," says Rosanne Godfrey-Lockwood, Family Barrister at 4PB. "That vantage point inevitably shapes how I think about marriage — not cynically, but realistically. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that one of the most notable trends I have observed in recent years is the growing interest in prenuptial agreements among Gen Z and younger Millennial couples.

Expert says prenups aren't just for the rich and famous

Legal experts at Richard Nelson LLP are urging Brits to rethink who prenups are really for. While often seen as something reserved for high-profile couples, data suggests they remain largely overlooked in everyday relationships. Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.

Pre-wedding nerves, relationship advice and the secrets to a long, happy marriage

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting seasons in a couple's life. It is also one of the most emotionally revealing. As someone who has coached over 1,300 women into healthy, committed relationships and marriages through my Love Success Framework, I can tell you this: the way you handle wedding planning is often a preview of how you will handle marriage. Not because of the flowers. Not because of the guest list. But because of how you navigate stress, expectations, decision-making, and emotional needs together. A wedding is an event. A marriage is an energetic ecosystem.
