WednesdayWedding Faves - Lady Primrose Weddings

What inspired you to start your business?


The recession was our inspiration, we realized that brides out there still want an amazing big day on a shoe string.


In 2009 I was one of those brides and I went through hell and back trying to have 2 fabulous weddings for £10,000. I did it, and everyone was amazed at what I had achieved on such a small budget.


Friends started asking for help to cut the cost and before I knew it. I had turned helping others to a full time job and that where Lady Primrose Weddings was created.


What do you enjoy most about your job?

Selling amazing dresses from as little as £99. The best and most satisfying feeling is when a bride receives her dress and tears of joy are shed.


Brides cannot believe our huge selection and what beautiful dresses they can have for a small price. They are surprised at the quality of our dresses. I love my job.


What has been the best moment of your business?

Our website going live and selling 16 dresses in less than 24 hours. That was amazing.


What are your plans for the future?

To move to our new office in February and to offer more products and services. To grow and keep listening to our customers.


Can you give us a ‘Typical day in the life of….’?

Get up check for orders placed overnight and reply to emails. On the way to work, I text appointment confirmations for bridal trials.
Get to work and arrange products requested for the bridal trial, Hair and Make Up artist arrive and I debrief them on the client`s requirements.
Bride arrives for the trial. Hair and Makeup gets done then the dress trial starts, usually takes
1 1\2 hours. Take some pictures and we are done.Cake maker arrives and talks to bride about what they want for their big day, we say our goodbyes and next client should be arriving.

We understand our brides are busy, so we usually get the Cake maker, Hair & Makeup artists in on the same day as the dress trial, this saves a lot of time.

Today's treat is a great song that I love. I have memories of walking home one Christmas eve after one or two lemonades and signing this song! It still gets my toe tapping whenever I hear it.

Shakin Stevens Merry Christmas Everyone

Chrsitmas Advent Calendar

As I have mentioned this week I love TV specials at chrsitmas, so today I have anither great programme that has done some great specials for Christmas.

Vicar of Dibley

You can't help but love the Vicar of Dibley, it has me in stitches every time, and the Christmas specials are not different. I was watching one last night and who could forget Alice giving birth in the middle of the village's production of the nativity story and then thinking she had given birth to Jesus :-)

here is a little clip for you, more than one Christmas dinner I think is a bit mad!!!!

Hope you have a great day, keep warm and safe in the snow (mind due I am still waiting for the snow to arrive)

Here is one of my fave clips from the it.

I think I will have to go and put the DVD on now, :-)

Today I have 2 Christmas treats for you.

The first is a film that I watch every Christmas, it is just one of those films that you watch every year and I love it.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Now Christmas would not be Christmas without Cliff Richard. I actually like to hear his Christmas songs it would not feel like Christmas if you did not hear them. So here are two of my faves.


Mistletoe and Wine

Saviour's Day

Hope you enjoyed today's treats, I will be back tomorrow with some more great Christmas treats.

Christmas Advent Calendar

One thing that I love about Christmas is the Christmas specials that are on TV. There are some that have been made that you can watch year after year (sometimes not even at Christmas) and you never bore of them.
Today's treat is just that, I absolutely love the Royle family, I think it is a great idea that we all sit around watching people watch TV :-)

They are a few Christmas specials (I think they should be made to make one every year) I really can't pick my fav one. They have actually been 5 Christmas specials and each one is as good as the last one.

Here are a few clips for you just in case you have seen the Royle Family and wonder what I am going on about!

If you have not seen any of the Christmas specials then I highly recommend them. It makes a change to have something funny to watch on Christmas day as all the soaps are very depressing at Christmas.

I think I may have to go and watch some Christmas TV!!

Have a great weekend and I will see you tomorrow.

Miracle of 34th Street 

I must admit that I have not seen the original version of this film, but I love the 1994 version.  

I think I may have to go and watch this film this afternoon, I just love it and I remember watching it as a kid.

Now for your next treat.

This song actually reminds me of Home Alone!

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree. and the version I have picked here is the Mel and Kim version I do love a Christmas song/video by people who are not normally singers!

I will see you tomorrow for some more Christmas faves! I am off to do some Christmas shopping and then watch a couple of Christmas films, have a great weekend!

Christmas Advent Calendar

Good Morning


Did you open the first window on your advent calendar this morning? I did and I found a lovely piece of Chocolate behind door number 1.


I thought it would be great to share with you some of my fave things about Christmas. So I am going to have my own advent calendar for you to enjoy each day! I am sorry there is no Chocolate for you in this one though!


So what is behind door number 1 today?

Home Alone 1 & 2

Ok so technically it is two things but they go hand in hand. I remember watching these as a kid  at the cinema!! And still to this day I love them and have to watch every time they are on TV!! When you see one of these films on the TV guide you just know Christmas is coming!

If you are staying in over the weekend then I suggest you get these on, they will put you right in the christmas spirit.

See you tomorrow for some more Christmas greats!
