Tell us about your Yorkshire bridal boutique...
Cinderella's is a unique blend of down-to-earth, honest customer service and an extensive collection of top UK designer wedding dresses. Cinderella's offers brides the complete service – dress style advice from a seamstress while choosing your dress and the convenience of in-house wedding dress fittings & alterations. 

What's your background and why did you launch your business?
After working in my father's menswear shop, I decided to take the leap and open my own business: a small alterations shop. After a very successful first year, I decided that I would like to progress the business into a bridal shop, which became Cinderella's in Skipton. That was 20 years ago and we still have contact with Cinderella's very first bride!  

What's your top tip for couples planning a wedding?
When brides are looking for their dream dress they must always try on all the basic silhouettes (ball gown, fishtail, a-line and slim) this will help narrow down the styles that are most flattering. 

What's the most common question couples ask you?
How long does it take to order a wedding dress from a boutique? To have the greatest choice you are realistically looking at seven months.  

How has your business handled the coronavirus crisis?
Cinderella's helped one of our brides with a very short notice wedding dress alteration. The wedding had to be brought forward with very little notice due to family circumstances.

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas. The findings come amid a growing debate around AI-written vows after a registrar in the eastern Netherlands saw a marriage called into question when AI was used to help write the ceremony script. In the case, the District Court of Overijssel ruled that "no marriage has been established" after it emerged the registrar had relied on ChatGPT to draft parts of the ceremony. The case has sparked wider concerns that AI-generated wording could unintentionally mirror existing vows or scripts found online, raising questions about originality and authenticity.

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.
