Letter(s) of the Month....

We are proud of the compliments and comments in the letters and thank-you cards we recieve... please take a moment to read a few. And... Thank you to all our Brides and Brides Mums for sending us them.
The originals, {often with photos of the special day} can be seen at our Ryde Shop!

Dear Beth,
Thank you so much for all of your help in finding the perfect wedding dress! I so enjoyed all of my trips to see you in your shop and you managed to find me such a beautiful dress for a bargain price too! I had so many comments on everything you found me, the dress (of course!), veil, tiara and even earrings and little bag. I have recommended you to all of my Island girls so you may get some of my friends in in the future! My bridesmaids looked stunning and all of our dresses fitted us perfectly.
I had such a lovely wedding and the dress is such a huge part of it so thank you very very much for finding it for me!
Hope to see you again soon,
With Love, Danielle xx (Bride)

Dear Beth
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful.
From helping me pick the most luscious dress, to the wonderful accessories and
the amazing flowers, you helped me feel a million dollars on the day and made my husband's jaw drop when I walked down the aisle!

Thank you for being so welcoming and above all for being enthusiastic about in having a dress that was a bit different. I would recommend you to anyone whether they wanted something different or more traditional.

I had so many compliments on the dress, especially as it was that little bit different, but also the gorgeous Jewellery (I'll be popping in next time I'm on the IW to check out what lovely sparkly things you have!), the devine Latino jacket and the sparkly veil (which even the men were complementing me on!!)

The top of the dress and accessories you helped me put together, the flowers were absolutely perfect! When I saw them, they brought a tear to my eye. Both mine and my bridesmaid's bouquets were stunning and you did a fabulous job! They looked great and finished the outfits off perfectly, as did the simple, but elegant buttonholes.

Thank you so much for being part of our special day and making my search for a red dress so enjoyable! I would recommend you services to anyone getting married - you really made it enjoyable and really gorgeous!!

Love and best wishes, Claire + Adam (Bride & Groom)

Beth,
Thank you so much for all your help with my totally gorgeous dress - I've never had so many compliments!
All the accessories worked perfectly together - I didn't take anything off all day (including the veil - ooppss!!)
The flowers were fabulous, much admired, even by the staff at the 'Rose Bowl'
Thanks again for everything

Lots of Love Caroline & Matthew (Bride & Groom ~ Southampton)
