Small Business Saturday at The Wedding Room

Did you know that November 25th 2023 is small business Saturday. As a small business in a lovely community, we have decided to open our doors and show you what were all about.

Since relocating to 169 High Road, we have expended our services. Alongside our collection of wedding dresses from Lillian West, Justin Alexander, Modeca and Casablanca, we have grown our venue styling service. We have a dedicated room displaying all the items we have available to hire to create the perfect vibe for your wedding venue.

We are also lucky enough to now have The Flower Room ‘in house’. This year alone we have already supplied 22 brides with their wedding flowers, from buttonholes and bouquets to centrepieces and swings. Whatever your vision, we will work with you to bring it to life.

The Wedding Room can also dress your bridesmaids. Our gorgeous collection of bridesmaids dresses by TH&TH have been a big success. The dresses have been selected to consider all brides tastes and body shapes, with samples from a 10 to a 28. Visit The Bridesmaids Room to find out more.

And of course, WEDDING DRESSES. The reason we’re here. To find brides their dream dress.

If you would like to come and meet us and chat about all things wedding, pop by on the 25th November between 9.30am and 11.30am. We would love to see you.

Our New Home

In February this year, The Wedding Room moved from our home of 11 years to the amazing space we’re in today. If you have not yet visited us at 169 High Road, we want to show you a little more of our interior, so when you come for your appointment with us, you know what to expect.

OUR MAIN DRESSING ROOM

OUR GORGEOUS SPACE

Hidden away behind the shop front ( which is often full of The Flower Room flowers ), you will find our main area. Full to the brim of dresses by Lillian West, Justin Alexander, Modeca and Casablanca, carefully chosen with our brides in mind. Here you will also find our collection of bridesmaids dresses from TH&TH.

OUR BRIDESMAID COLLECTION

Upstairs we have a smaller dressing room. For busy days, fitting appointments, bridesmaids appointments and everything else, this is a lovely bright and airy space.

OUR UPSTAIRS DRESSING ROOM

Alongside our wedding dresses, wedding flowers and bridesmaid dresses, we also offer venue styling. We have a whole room dedicated to our hand selected pieces, available to dress your space to you own unique tastes. Venue styling appointments are available now.

We love our new home and would love to welcome you soon, to make an appointment simply use the contact form on our website

A day out

When you decide to get married, the first part of the plan is usually to book the venue. Once the venue has been chosen and the date set, the bride starts to think about her dress.

The venue is a big topic of conversation during appointments and how the dress needs to be the right vibe for that venue, whether the setting is sleek and modern, rustic and bohemian or historic with character. Over the years, traditional and established venues have had to adapt and change as weddings have been more individual and often, less formal. Then there are the new generation of venues, old buildings renovated with modern additions, designed with the flow of the day in mind, creating a celebration unique to each couple.

We took some time out from the shop to visit two local venues recently, the imposing and traditional setting of Norwood Park and the beautiful renovation and modern mix of Grangefields.

Norwood Park is simply stunning. We met Verity who talked us through a little history of house and the family who still own it and until recently still lived there. We looked around at the different rooms and outdoor areas you can have your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception. We were then shown around the individually designed bedrooms and suites offering many accommodation options for all guests.

We can totally see why so many The Wedding Room brides choose to marry at Norwood Park.

We were also lucky enough to visit Grangefields - a stunning new venue on the historic Trusley Estate.

The oak room is magical, a converted barn for your ceremony which has been restored perfectly. There is a new addition of the dining room with show kitchen, impressively stocked bar and a designated area for dancing. Outside has a huge covered seating area and a courtyard with an Argentinian Asado, which we learned is for cooking huge joints of meat. The outdoor area is beautifully decorated with overized planters and festoon lighting.

What we loved about Grangefields is that is suits a traditional wedding or something a little different, their relaxed ‘can do’ attitude to taking a couples vision and making it all come together is evident.

Thank you to both Norwood Park and Grangefields for your hospitality. We look forward to seeing our gorgeous dresses in your incredible venues.
