We are starting to get a lot of phone calls regarding weddings next year and when is the best time to come in. We will start receiving our new spring/summer 2026 dresses in December, by mid February the majority would be here. However saying that it doesn’t mean you cannot come into the shop and have a look around, see the brands we stock, try some different styles on its an exciting time and we cannot wait to see you in the shop.

September (My Birthday Month)
I was born in September but would I want my wedding to be on my birthday? Someone I went to college with actually got married on her birthday.
The positives are
- Your partner should never forget your wedding anniversary.
- You can combine your birthday and wedding an have a extra big event. Only have to plan one event instead of 2.
Cons
- People could forget its your birthday too.
- Guests might feel they have to buy you 2 presents, a wedding gift and a birthday present.
Black Tie Wedding.
Black tie weddings are becoming more and more popular. However does a black tie wedding mean you have to wear black? A black tie wedding is a formal event (normally in the evening) and the dress code is floor length gowns for the women and tuxedos for the men. It does not mean you have to wear black. If the bride and groom want you to wear black they would stipulate that on the invitations.
Does The Venue Impact Your Choice Of Dress?
When you come to us for a wedding appointment we will always ask where the wedding is. Yes a certain style of dress will suit you best but does it tie in with the theme of the wedding? For example would you wear the same style of dress to a beach wedding abroad that you would wear to a church wedding in the UK? Probably not, so my answer to the question above, yes, the venue will impact your choice of dress.
@annefurbank_occasions
Did you know we have a whole Instagram account all about occasion wear. We don’t just talk about clothes and outfits, we have interviewed hairdressers, florists etc to get you top tips. We talk about the history of weddings, superstitions etc so if you have an event coming up you wont want to miss this.
Jewel Colours
As the new season stock arrives we are seeing a lot of jewel colours and tones. Jewel colours are defined as colours with rich, vibrant hues inspired by precious gemstones, including emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple. These colours are very popular when it comes to autumn/winter weddings.
