We don’t officially “do” bridesmaids dresses but if we did……

Faith came to us in June looking for a dress for her mum’s August wedding. She was ideally wanting:

💟 Purple
💟 A line
💟 Not sheer on the bodice
💟 Bling free

I think we delivered. Faith looked incredible, stepping out of her usual wellies and hoodies. As a pet sitter and animal lover of course she couldn’t have a day off🦉

During the appointment we chatted about Faith’s business FL Pet sitter - it was obvious how much she loves animals and has picked the perfect business to start at such a young age - love the entrepreneurial spirit too. She’s based in Wrexham so if you’ve got animals you sometimes need looking after take a look at her services and give her a follow 🐱 🐶 🐎 🐇

Cancer is something that's affected our family in recent years and therefore is a cause that means a great deal to myself and Robyn.

So when Glenda Mai approached me I was always going to want to know more and help if I could....... and I hope you will love the idea as much as we do!

Glenda is a remarkable lady, having worked as a specialist doctor in the NHS for over 35 years, she couldn't just retire and do nothing! So, with a keen interest in fashion, she has become a colour consultant, helping ladies to recognise the colours that will enhance and flatter. BUT with a twist - Glenda has been providing this service for ladies after cancer surgery, undergoing chemotherapy, advising on hair wraps and dressing if you have a central line, with the aim of making ladies feel more confident at a really difficult time.

The text next to the photo is from Glenda's page, so please do take a look for lots more information on what she's been doing.

In order to carry on with this service, due to a lack of charitable funding, we are lending Glenda our lovely boutique for a pop up colour consultation - we think at the beginning of November.

Black is my default colour and has been ever since I can remember. I know many of you also have the black default because I see you bring your daughters, granddaughters and nieces to Ffansi Ffrogs and we laugh about it 🖤.

So this is an opportunity to come along, for a small fee, for a 20 minute consultation which will leave you feeling confident in the colours that will suit you, but will also provide such vital funds so Glenda can carry on working with cancer patients throughout North Wales.

Please do take a look at her page - by her own admission she's not into social media particularly (hasn't had the time with her career and understandably so) but any help to increase her reach and let people know about what she's doing will be so so appreciated.

And finally, if you'd be interested in a colour consultation, please put a 🌈 in the comments so we can gauge if we should move to finalising a date.

Facebook is a tricky place at the moment so any shares would be amazing as posts just often don't get seen x

* Consultations will be one to one during the day when the boutique is closed for Prom appointments so you will have your own private space.

Thanks so much if you read this far on a bank holiday evening!

Tonight's props are lego and balls,

Particularly if Prom 2027 is going to be your first experience of Prom, it might surprise you to learn that bigger shops aren't always better when it comes to finding your prom dress.

A huge choice can sound exciting, but for many girls it quickly becomes overwhelming. Too many dresses, too many decisions, and suddenly the fun disappears.

We believe the goal isn’t to try on hundreds of dresses. It’s to find **the right one** — with a carefully chosen collection, honest advice and someone there to help you narrow things down from a realistic selection, not 1000s where you don't know where to begin and will always have a feeling you missed something.

If the thought of huge shops and endless rails fills you with dread, there is another way. Us.

When you're done with browsing and getting an idea and ready to find your dress, that's when we are here for you.

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Woolly Experiences Therapy Farm at the Ruthin Flower Show on Sunday. 🦙🤍

As well as experiences for the general public, it was amazing to find out more about the work they do and the difference their therapy animals can make to children and families going through difficult times.

Their farm offers private, tailored animal experiences, and their work has supported people facing a range of physical, emotional and psychological challenges.

They even take their animals into care homes!

If you think this is something that could help your child — or somebody you know — please give Woolly Experiences Therapy Farm a follow and have a look at what they do. It really is something very special. 🤍

All the private experiences help them to provide the therapy experiences for those in need so you really can have fun whilst doing good at the same time 💕

And, of course, meeting the alpacas was a definite highlight of our day! 🦙🐴

You might be surprised that this is the exact same dress. Keeley from Bro Idris knew exactly what colour she was buying.

No filters, no editing, just different light.

So if you’re thinking of buying a dress online, be aware you won’t know the real colour until it actually arrives. And if she doesn’t like it, you’re then in the return cycle:

a) can you return? (if you submitted measurements the answer will be no because that dress was made for you)

b) who pays for the cost of returning? (often with online prom dresses it’s you)

c) can you get any money back? (often only a partial refund)

Whilst you’re waiting for the answer to b) you might not be able to start looking for an alternative dress because you don’t know what your budget will be.

Whilst you’re waiting for the answer there will inevitably be some degree of stress and worry.

If you shop early enough with us, we can be flexible with deposits and you can spread the payments so rather than taking risks online talk to us - we’ll always do our best to find a solution but the earlier you come the more likely we can help.

Appointments can be booked online and October Saturdays are starting to fill up.

If you've been here a while you may have seen this video before but I keep being asked for it. If you know someone it might help please do share with them or tag them. Prom, especially first time round can be a bit of a minefield.

Does buying a dress from us guarantee nobody else will have the same dress on Prom Day?

No - absolutely not.

Boutiques throughout the UK stock the same labels. Not every shop stocks every label but lots of us have a few labels in common.

It's hard to get your head around so I used pink foil butterflies and handbags. I love a good prop.

If you're still unsure, why not book a prom discovery call and let us explain and answer any other questions you may have.

PSA for prom girls! 😍If your friends shop somewhere else, they co...

When I catch myself doing something when I’m meant to be working I look at this poster, which is right in my eye line in my office.

It means will the thing I’m doing (browsing ASOS, doom scrolling, complaining) drive the business forward?

The analogy is the GB rowing team asking the question of themselves when training for a gold medal.

It works. Honestly. Like a visual slap on the wrist. Back to work I go 🤓

If you want a brand new current season prom dress ordered in for you, there really isn’t any point reading any further (but do keep an eye on our page for when we have our complete 2027 collection and that’s exactly what you’ll get - not long now!)

However, if you’re prepared to consider a past season dress (2026), we’re into the last couple of days of our sale now. After Friday 28th August all the sale dresses will be taken out of the shop.

Why are dresses in the sale? Sometimes we aren’t carrying on with a style, sometimes we aren’t carrying on with a brand and sometimes (well once - the pink one Robyn’s holding up), I might have accidentally ordered two 🙈

We’ve got perfect dresses over 50% off from just £125. You’re getting the quality of the best UK boutique labels for a fraction of the price.

We’ve appointments today, tomorrow and Friday morning which can be booked online the usual way:
