It’s been very quiet for bridal recently so we are just reminding people that we are still here 🙈 suit hires have gone through the roof but we miss our ladies!! Our dresses are all ready to wear, designer brands but at half price! Make an appointment to come and see us to find your dream dress
Ps we don’t make cakes, we just like to eat them 💕 #weddingdress #weddingdresses #bride #2022bride #2022bridetobe #2022brides #ronaldjoyce #affordableweddingdress #affordableweddingdresses

So if you remember the “before” pics … here is the “after” I’m so pleased I managed to clean it up so well! It literally looks like a new dress (like the before and after is mixed up 😂 all for just £95 🙌

Oh my 😯 a Bride actually sent me a video of how bad her dress looks 🙈 I said “don’t worry I’ve seen worse” 😬 wish me luck! 😆

Mega busy with gown cleans atm! It’s so nice to see people getting married at last 🥰

👰 if your dress has been stored for some time due to a date postponement, and needs a freshen up to get it back to its sparkling former glory it’s just £50

💒 A FULL clean is still just £95

❤️ I can also steam it and box it up for safe storage in an acid free tissue lined box for an extra £30

Just a quick note regarding new rules and regulations. As of Monday it is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face mask in our store, it is now up to the individual. We want everyone who comes in to feel comfortable & safe so if you want to continue to wear a face mask then that is absolutely fine, if you choose not to then that’s fine too. We would ask that masks be worn when we are in close contact ie dressing a bride but then they can be removed when we step away. We will still be limiting the amount of people in the shop as we are only a small space and for the time being we will continue to be appointment only. Our priority is the safety of our staff, families and customers. As always if you are experiencing any covid symptoms please reschedule your appointment. We cannot wait to see your smiles again 😷🙂

Another amazing result from a dress clean! 🤩

Don’t forget that we also hand clean bridal gowns - here’s another before and after of a Morilee by Madeline Gardner lace bodice with satin box pleats 🙌 followed by a steam and stored in a box with acid free tissue lined paper 💕

Don’t forget the Groom goes FREE when you hire 5 suits - what’s your favourite look: classic, tweed or plain?

More due next week xx

Due in next week! 15 new prom/evening gowns... too many for one post so I’ve done 2 - very excited xx

Although we don’t state to be prom “specialists” we do have a good selection of the plainer, floaty style evening gowns... all under £150! Book in to have a try on 😊

We are so excited to be finally opening our doors again tomorrow! It feels like it’s been forever since we saw all you gorgeous brides & we can’t wait to get back to helping you find your perfect dress. Things will need to be a little different for awhile so for now we are limited to bride plus one guest with no children unless it’s for a specific fitting. Once you arrive at the shop we will take your temperature then you will need to scan our QR code to provide details for track & trace for you and your guest. Face masks will need to be worn in the shop and we will be appointment only to allow us to clean the space in between each visit. One thing that hasn’t changed is that we’ll still do everything we can to give you your perfect wedding & we promise we’ll be smiling under our masks! We can’t wait to see you ladies 💖

Remember, we offer so much more than bridal gowns 👰 and suit hire... We have evening dresses for proms, mother of the bride & groom, an in house massage therapist 💆 and also an in house videographer 🎥 and a photographer 📷 who hires teepees and does balloons too!! 🤩

Our appointment book is now open!! We’ll be back from Monday 12th April and we cannot wait to see everyone! We are still awaiting information on what the appointment guidelines will be so we’ll update as soon as we know more. Message us to book in and find your dream dress. We have 100 dresses ready to take away on the day and all under £895! 💖

Hoping for some good news from Boris 🤞

🥰 I saw this on County Brides and just had to share how wonderful and easy and innocent and sweet love can be...

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore... So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' Rebecca - age 8

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.' Billy - age 4

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.' Karl - age 5

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.' Danny - age 8

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.' Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.' Nikka - age 6

(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.' Noelle - age 7

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.' Tommy - age 6

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.' Cindy - age 8

'My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.' Clare - age 6

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine - age 5

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.' Chris - age 7

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.' Mary Ann - age 4

'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.' Lauren - age 4

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image!) Karen - age 7

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross...' Mark - age 6

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8

And the final one: The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

Now, take 60 seconds and post this for other to see. And then be a child again today! 💗
