Both myself and my business partner Lucy Hayward-Rodgers have been in the fashion business all our lives.  I was born into it; my mother had three boutiques when I was young, so catwalks and window dressing was how I spent my school holidays.

Later on I moved into the glamorous and magical world of bridal, where undoubtedly it is a huge honour to be involved in the decision making of what is surely the most important dress a woman will ever wear.

Listening to your bride is essential and experience is the key to finding the right dress for both her physique and personality.

I love the diversity of choice these days in bridal gowns, whether it’s a festival bride or a red carpet siren, and accessorising each one to perfection, which we all know can make or break an outfit!
